Coral Calcium and Microbes  산호칼슘과 미생물

In the beginning of time when life began in the ocean, one of the most primitive organisms was coral.

바다에서 생명이 시작된 태초에 가장 원시적인 유기체 중 하나는 산호였습니다.

Coral reefs are formed over thousands of years with thousands of different corals. Some reefs built up into islands like Okinawa. 산호초는 수천 개의 서로 다른 산호로 인해 수천 년에 걸쳐 형성됩니다. 일부 암초는 오키나와와 같은 섬으로 형성되었습니다.

These reefs are gradually worn away by the waves and the weather. The ground up coral sinks to the seabed where it mingles with the water and its contained mineral and plant life. 이 암초는 파도와 날씨에 의해 점차 닳아 없어집니다. 갈아진 산호는 해저로 가라앉아 물, 물에 함유된 미네랄 및 식물과 섞입니다.

Over millions of years the coral is biochemically altered to contain all of the mineral nutrients of the sea as well as its original nutrients of life. The result is a powerhouse of natural marine nutrients known around the world as “coral calcium”

수백만 년에 걸쳐 산호는 생화학적으로 변화되어 바다의 모든 미네랄 영양분과 생명의 원래 영양분을 함유하게 됩니다. 그 결과 전 세계적으로 “산호 칼슘”으로 알려진 천연 해양 영양소의 강국이 탄생했습니다.

The recently published book “Barefoot on Coral Calcium: An Elixer of Life” by Bob Barefoot is the most comprehensive book ever written on coral calcium. Available by calling: 866-723-2551. Of course calcium plays an integral role in coral calcium, and the author suggests that once the reader has read this book and has grasped the significance of the chemistry of calcium, he then read Barefoot on Coral Calcium so that he will also grasp the significance of the chemistry of coral calcium. This chapter can be considered a teaser for this great book.

Bob Barefoot이 최근 출판한 책 “Barefoot on Coral Calcium: An Elixer of Life”는 산호 칼슘에 관해 저술한 책 중 가장 포괄적인 책입니다. 전화 문의 가능: 866-723-2551. 물론 칼슘은 산호 칼슘에서 필수적인 역할을 하며, 저자는 독자가 일단 이 책을 읽고 칼슘의 화학적 성질을 이해했다면 Barefoot 산호 칼슘의 중요성도 이해하게 될 것이라고 제안합니다. 산호칼슘의 화학. 이 장은 이 훌륭한 책의 예고편으로 간주될 수 있습니다.

Okinawa has the highest percentage of centenarians in the world. What’s more, your average Okinawan centenarian has the arteries of a child. A massive, ongoing 25-year study has found that these 100-year-olds have 80% fewer heart attacks than Americans, and less than one-fourth the level of breast, ovarian and prostate cancer. Their younger brothers in their 80s and 90s seem to have the physical constitution of very young men and women. Five hundred years ago, these features attracted the attention of the Spanish explorers who discovered the use of coral sands by these Okinawans. When chickens would eat the coral sand, they would produce more delicious eggs. When cows licked the reefs, they would produce more milk. The Okinawans also recorded 400% increases in rice crops when coral sand was used as a fertilizer. Because of the youthful and relatively disease free culture, the Spanish filled their ship holds with the coral sand. Back in Spain, the chemists analyzed the coral and found the major ingredient to be calcium. The product was then referred to as coral calcium. The world’s oldest drugstores in Spain—historic monuments—had their shelves lined with clay pots with the label, “Coral Calcium from Okinawa Japan.” Today, the use of Okinawan coral calcium has spread to where millions of people in Japan, China, Russia, Sweden, and Europe are all taking the product daily. And the number of testimonials is staggering.

오키나와는 세계에서 100세 이상 인구 비율이 가장 높은 곳입니다. 더욱이, 평균적인 오키나와의 100세 노인은 어린이의 동맥을 가지고 있습니다. 25년간 진행된 대규모 연구에 따르면 이들 100세 노인은 미국인보다 심장마비 발병률이 80% 적고 유방암, 난소암, 전립선암 발병률이 4분의 1 미만인 것으로 나타났습니다. 80~90대 남동생들은 아주 젊은 남녀의 체질을 갖고 있는 것 같다. 500년 전, 이러한 특징은 오키나와인들이 산호모래를 사용하는 것을 발견한 스페인 탐험가들의 관심을 끌었습니다. 닭이 산호모래를 먹으면 더 맛있는 알을 낳을 것입니다. 소가 암초를 핥으면 더 많은 우유가 생산됩니다. 오키나와 사람들은 또한 산호모래를 비료로 사용했을 때 벼 수확량이 400% 증가했다고 기록했습니다. 젊고 상대적으로 질병이 없는 문화 때문에 스페인 사람들은 배의 선창을 산호모래로 채웠습니다. 스페인으로 돌아온 화학자들은 산호를 분석한 결과 주요 성분이 칼슘이라는 사실을 발견했습니다. 이후 이 제품은 산호칼슘으로 불렸습니다. 역사적 기념물인 스페인의 세계에서 가장 오래된 약국에는 "일본 오키나와산 산호칼슘"이라는 라벨이 붙은 항아리가 진열되어 있었습니다. 오늘날 오키나와 산호칼슘의 사용은 일본, 중국, 러시아, 스웨덴, 유럽의 수백만 명의 사람들이 매일 제품을 섭취하는 곳으로 확산되었습니다. 그리고 증언의 수도 엄청납니다.

Of course, everyone is asking, “If Okinawan coral calcium is so good, what about Hawaiian coral calcium?” The answer is that Okinawan coral is different from all other corals. The reason is that most coral reefs have significant wave action that washes the coral sands out to sea. Okinawa is a group of very shallow islands with virtually no wave action, and thus the coral sands build up to the point that they almost choke the reef to death. The Governmentsupervised harvesting of the coral sands actually rejuvenates the reefs and brings them back to life. In addition, the Okinawan reefs are different in that numerous islands are of volcanic origin. This provides dramatic amounts of metal nutrients to the reefs. And lastly, Swedish scientists have identified marine microbes specific to Okinawa. Thus, millions of years of the coral reefs leaching the oceans have made the Okinawan coral calcium a treasure trove of nutrition, even though many of the nutrients in the ocean are found in trace quantities.

물론 다들 “오키나와산 산호칼슘이 이렇게 좋다면 하와이산 산호칼슘은 어때요?”라고 궁금해하실 겁니다. 대답은 오키나와 산호가 다른 모든 산호와 다르다는 것입니다. 그 이유는 대부분의 산호초에는 산호 모래를 바다로 씻어내는 상당한 파도 작용이 있기 때문입니다. 오키나와는 파도의 움직임이 거의 없는 매우 얕은 섬들로 이루어져 있어 산호초가 거의 암초를 질식시켜 죽을 정도로 쌓입니다. 정부가 감독하는 산호모래 수확은 실제로 산호초에 활력을 불어넣고 다시 생명을 불어넣습니다. 또한, 오키나와의 암초는 화산에서 유래한 섬이 많다는 점에서 다릅니다. 이는 산호초에 엄청난 양의 금속 영양분을 제공합니다. 그리고 마지막으로 스웨덴 과학자들은 오키나와 특유의 해양 미생물을 확인했습니다. 따라서 바다에 있는 많은 영양분이 미량으로 발견됨에도 불구하고 수백만 년 동안 바다로 침출된 산호초는 오키나와의 산호 칼슘을 영양의 보고로 만들었습니다.

Gold, for example, is believed to be 0.012 parts per billion. This calculates out to be 460 billion ounces of gold or over 100 times the gold currently held in all the world’s vaults. When gold is present in soil, which is usually the case, it accumulates in the plant’s protein and chlorophyll. The roots of plants can even break up rock, liberating the gold for uptake by the plants. When animals eat the plants, gold accumulates in the proteinaceous substances, such as hair, liver, brains and muscle. Man not only eats the bread made from the golden wheat, he also eats the animals who ate the gold. In many countries, gold leaf is popular in the diet. Gold is found in man’s liver, brain and muscle and human blood has been measured at 0.8 parts per billion, and 43 parts per billion have been found in human hair. Human feces and urine have been known to contain startling amounts of gold: the ash of human excretion has been known to contain 1/3rd of an ounce per ton or over 10,000 parts per billion. The fact that gold exists in the human body in such significant amounts means that is must serve a useful function. Gold has been used successfully in some cancer treatments. Gold suspended in gel has also been used to treat wounds, resulting in rapid recovery and minimized scaring. There are hundreds of industrial processes where gold is used as a catalyst, and one day man is certain to discover that gold serves as a crucial biological catalyst in the human body. Thus, the oceans are an enormous collection of metals, minerals and chemical substances that sustain life. The seas contain many factors that are produced by its own living organisms.

예를 들어 금은 0.012ppb로 알려져 있습니다. 이는 4,600억 온스의 금, 즉 현재 전 세계 금고에 보관되어 있는 금의 100배가 넘는 것으로 추산됩니다. 일반적으로 금이 토양에 존재하면 식물의 단백질과 엽록소에 축적됩니다. 식물의 뿌리는 암석을 깨뜨려 금을 식물이 흡수할 수 있도록 배출할 수도 있습니다. 동물이 식물을 먹으면 머리카락, 간, 뇌, 근육과 같은 단백질성 물질에 금이 축적됩니다. 인간은 황금밀로 만든 빵을 먹을 뿐만 아니라, 금을 먹은 동물들도 먹습니다. 많은 국가에서 금박은 다이어트에 인기가 있습니다. 금은 인간의 간, 뇌, 근육에서 발견되며 인간의 혈액은 0.8ppb로 측정되었으며 인간의 머리카락에서는 43ppb가 발견되었습니다. 인간의 대변과 소변에는 놀랄 만큼 많은 양의 금이 포함되어 있는 것으로 알려져 있습니다. 인간 배설물의 재에는 톤당 1/3온스 또는 10억분의 10,000이 넘는 금이 포함되어 있는 것으로 알려져 있습니다. 금이 인체에 그렇게 많은 양으로 존재한다는 사실은 금이 유용한 기능을 수행해야 함을 의미합니다. 금은 일부 암 치료에 성공적으로 사용되었습니다. 젤에 현탁된 금은 상처 치료에도 사용되어 빠른 회복과 흉터 최소화 효과를 가져왔습니다. 금이 촉매로 사용되는 수백 가지 산업 공정이 있으며, 어느 날 인간은 금이 인체에서 중요한 생물학적 촉매로 작용한다는 것을 발견하게 될 것입니다. 따라서 바다는 생명을 유지하는 금속, 광물, 화학 물질의 거대한 집합체입니다. 바다에는 자체 살아있는 유기체에 의해 생성되는 많은 요소가 포함되어 있습니다.

The coral calcium from Okinawa contains the perfect biological ratio of calcium to magnesium, 2:1 or 24% calcium and 12% magnesium. It also contains a host of trace metals. Coral calcium is a rich source of iron, containing almost 1,000 parts per million. Next to calcium, iron is the most abundant mineral in the human body, crucial for maintaining oxygen. Iron permits effective oxygen transport and storage in muscles and the blood. It is the central component of hemoglobin in the red blood cells. Iron deficiency causes anemia and abnormal fat metabolism. Iron competes with other elements for absorption into the body (competition with magnesium, copper, calcium and zinc). Vitamin C enhances iron absorption and classic consequences of iron deficiency are weakness, fatigue, poor immune function and anemia. The common belief is that too much iron can be toxic. The problem with this is that the words “too much” have never been defined. Also, United Nations Health agency, UNESCO says that the majority of American women are anemic as a result of iron deficiency. Although the RDA for iron is 18 mg/day of iron, many nutritionists advocate at least 40 mg/day. A full-term infant requires 160 mg, and a premature infant 240 mg during the first year, which at the average 5% absorption when consumed, equals 4,800 mg/year or 13 mg/ day for the first year of life. The RDA for an adult is 18 mg/day. Also, for menstruating women, there is a requirement of 1 mg/day. At 1 mg/day this is, at 5% absorption, 20 mg/day consumption. Pregnancy also increases demand for iron. Expansion of the mother’s red blood cell mass requires 400 mg of iron, and the fetus and placenta require an additional 400 mg iron. Blood loss at delivery, including blood loss in the placenta, accounts for another 300 mg iron. The total requirement for pregnancy, therefore, is about 1,100 mg of iron. At 5% iron absorption, this works out to a 90 mg/day consumption requirement for a pregnant woman, but the RDA for an adult is only 18 mg/day. Thus, most women in America are being poisoned by iron deficiency.

오키나와산 산호 칼슘은 칼슘과 마그네슘의 완벽한 생물학적 비율(2:1 또는 24% 칼슘, 12% 마그네슘)을 함유하고 있습니다. 또한 다수의 미량 금속이 포함되어 있습니다. 산호 칼슘은 거의 1,000ppm을 함유한 풍부한 철분 공급원입니다. 칼슘 다음으로 철분은 인체에서 가장 풍부한 미네랄로 산소를 유지하는 데 중요합니다. 철분은 근육과 혈액에서 효과적인 산소 운반과 저장을 가능하게 합니다. 적혈구의 헤모글로빈의 핵심 성분입니다. 철분 결핍은 빈혈과 비정상적인 지방 대사를 유발합니다. 철분은 신체에 흡수되기 위해 다른 원소와 경쟁합니다(마그네슘, 구리, 칼슘 및 아연과의 경쟁). 비타민 C는 철분 흡수를 향상시키며 철분 결핍의 전형적인 결과는 허약, 피로, 면역 기능 저하 및 빈혈입니다. 일반적인 믿음은 철분이 너무 많으면 독성이 있을 수 있다는 것입니다. 문제는 '과도하다'라는 단어가 정의된 적이 없다는 점이다. 또한 유엔 보건 기구인 유네스코에서는 대다수의 미국 여성이 철분 결핍으로 인해 빈혈을 앓고 있다고 말합니다. 철분의 RDA는 하루 18mg이지만 많은 영양학자들은 하루 최소 40mg을 권장합니다. 만삭아의 경우 첫 해에 160mg, 미숙아의 경우 240mg이 필요합니다. 이는 섭취 시 평균 5% 흡수율로 4,800mg/년 또는 생후 첫 해에는 13mg/일에 해당합니다. 성인의 RDA는 18mg/일입니다. 또한 월경 중인 여성의 경우 하루 1mg이 필요합니다. 하루 1mg을 섭취하면 5% 흡수 시 하루 20mg을 섭취하게 됩니다. 임신은 또한 철분에 대한 수요를 증가시킵니다. 산모의 적혈구량을 늘리려면 400mg의 철분이 필요하며, 태아와 태반에는 400mg의 철분이 추가로 필요합니다. 태반의 혈액 손실을 포함하여 출산 시 혈액 손실은 철분 300mg을 더 차지합니다. 따라서 임신에 필요한 총 철분 요구량은 약 1,100mg입니다. 철분 흡수율이 5%일 경우 임산부의 일일 섭취 요구량은 90mg에 해당하지만 성인의 RDA는 18mg/일에 불과합니다. 따라서 미국의 대부분의 여성들은 철분 결핍에 중독되어 있습니다.

A crucial factor in human health is that the body is only capable of absorbing about 800 milligrams of calcium each day. Unfortunately, calcium is one of the hardest minerals for the body to absorb. Many of the calcium supplements are only in the 2 to 3 percent absorption range, while the so called “great” supplements are about only 15%. The cultures like the Hunzas, who consume over 100,000 mg of calcium each day obviously get their 800 mg absorption, while harmlessly passing the rest in their urine and excretion. The Okinawans, because of the rod-like microbes in the coral, discovered by Swedish scientists in the 1990s, claim that absorption approaches nearly 100%. Therefore, taking 250 mg of calcium in an antacid product, which does severe harm to the elderly by wiping out their crucial stomach acid supplies, usually results in the absorption of five mg (2%) calcium by the body over a 20-hour period. Also, there is substantial evidence that the nutrients in coral are absorbed in less than 20 minutes (the blood chemistry undergoes a drastic change, for the better, in less than 20 minutes). Therefore the 250 mg of calcium in the coral results in 250 mg being absorbed by the body in less than 20 minutes, and without destroying the crucial stomach fluids. That’s almost 50 times as much calcium, 50 times as fast. No wonder coral calcium works so well! In addition, when people have major diseases, the consumption of a triple dose of coral provides the maximum calcium absorption.

인간 건강에 있어 중요한 요소는 신체가 매일 약 800mg의 칼슘만 흡수할 수 있다는 것입니다. 불행하게도 칼슘은 신체가 흡수하기 가장 어려운 미네랄 중 하나입니다. 많은 칼슘 보충제는 흡수 범위가 2~3%에 불과한 반면, 소위 "훌륭한" 보충제는 약 15%에 불과합니다. 매일 100,000mg 이상의 칼슘을 섭취하는 Hunzas와 같은 배양균은 분명히 800mg을 흡수하고 나머지는 소변과 배설물을 통해 무해하게 전달합니다. 오키나와인들은 1990년대 스웨덴 과학자들이 발견한 산호의 막대 모양 미생물 때문에 흡수율이 거의 100%에 가깝다고 주장합니다. 따라서 중요한 위산 공급을 없애 노인에게 심각한 해를 끼치는 제산제에 칼슘 250mg을 섭취하면 일반적으로 20시간에 걸쳐 신체에서 5mg(2%)의 칼슘이 흡수됩니다. . 또한, 산호의 영양분이 20분 이내에 흡수된다는 실질적인 증거가 있습니다(혈액 화학은 더 좋게는 20분 이내에 급격한 변화를 겪습니다). 따라서 산호에 있는 250mg의 칼슘은 중요한 위액을 파괴하지 않고 20분 이내에 250mg이 신체에 흡수됩니다. 이는 칼슘이 거의 50배 더 많고 속도도 50배 더 빠릅니다. 산호칼슘이 그렇게 효과가 좋은 것은 당연합니다! 또한, 중대한 질병이 있는 경우 산호를 3배 이상 섭취하면 칼슘 흡수가 극대화됩니다.

Coral calcium was first introduced to western culture when it was brought to Europe by the Spanish explorers about 500 years ago. The world’s oldest drugstores in Spain, which today are historic monuments, had clay pots on their selves labeled “Coral Calcium, Okinawa Japan.” Literature written by doctors of the day told of miraculous cures. By the turn of the 20th Century, the consumption of coral had spread to mainland Japan, where currently there are millions of daily users. When coral calcium was brought to the western communities as a “modern” dietary supplement in the 1970s, much misunderstanding was propagated by marketing companies. There is a naïve notion that when coral calcium is added to water, it should dissolve completely. I am often asked about this circumstance, but the answer is obvious: If coral were soluble in water completely, there would be no coral reefs in the oceans!

산호 칼슘은 약 500년 전 스페인 탐험가가 유럽에 가져왔을 때 서양 문화에 처음 소개되었습니다. 오늘날 역사적 기념물이 된 스페인의 세계에서 가장 오래된 약국에는 '일본 오키나와 산호칼슘'이라는 라벨이 붙은 항아리가 붙어 있었습니다. 당시의 의사들이 쓴 문헌에서는 기적적인 치료에 관해 이야기했습니다. 20세기에 들어서면서 산호 소비는 현재 수백만 명의 일일 사용자가 있는 일본 본토로 확산되었습니다. 1970년대에 산호 칼슘이 "현대적인" 건강 보조 식품으로 서구 사회에 소개되었을 때 마케팅 회사에서는 많은 오해를 퍼뜨렸습니다. 산호 칼슘을 물에 첨가하면 완전히 용해되어야 한다는 순진한 생각이 있습니다. 나는 종종 이런 상황에 대해 질문을 받지만 대답은 분명합니다. 만약 산호가 물에 완전히 용해된다면 바다에는 산호초가 없을 것입니다!

The reason why this question is asked often relates to the popular use of coral sand in tea bags which are merely added to water and the water is then consumed. Whilst coral calcium tea bags can import desirable properties to water, such as the transfer of important marine microbes, taking coral calcium in this manner is far less desirable than consuming the whole coral in powder or capsule form. Tea bag coral is less effective, as the user is only benefiting from about two percent of the marine nutrients that dissolve. The consumer— unless told—is almost unaware that he is consuming coral water, rather than a valuable way of obtaining the full benefits of coral calcium when it is consumed in its complete format, resulting in the consumption of over 50 times as much mineral nutrients. Also, the marine coral that is totally consumed is rich in the required nutrient, magnesium, as well as richer in all other nutrients.

이 질문이 자주 제기되는 이유는 단순히 물에 첨가하고 물을 소비하는 티백에 산호 모래를 널리 사용하는 것과 관련이 있습니다. 산호 칼슘 티백은 중요한 해양 미생물의 이동과 같은 바람직한 특성을 물에 가져올 수 있지만, 이러한 방식으로 산호 칼슘을 섭취하는 것은 전체 산호를 분말이나 캡슐 형태로 섭취하는 것보다 훨씬 덜 바람직합니다. 티백 산호는 사용자가 용해되는 해양 영양분의 약 2%만 혜택을 받기 때문에 덜 효과적입니다. 소비자는 말하지 않는 한 산호수를 섭취하고 있다는 사실을 거의 인식하지 못합니다. 이는 산호 칼슘을 완전한 형태로 섭취할 때 산호 칼슘의 모든 이점을 얻을 수 있는 귀중한 방법이 아니라 50배 이상의 미네랄 영양소를 섭취하게 되는 것입니다. . 또한, 전량 섭취되는 해양산호에는 필수영양소인 마그네슘뿐만 아니라 기타 모든 영양소가 더욱 풍부하게 함유되어 있습니다.

Fossilized coral that has been washed up onto beaches has lost some of its mineral content by weathering and it may be dried and finely powdered to make a quick change of water pH. In addition, some commercially available coral calcium products have calcium added in hydroxide forms to increase alkalinity. Also, fossilized coral contains less than 1 percent magnesium, whereas marine coral has about 12% magnesium, which balances the 24% calcium for a perfect biological 2:1 calcium/magnesium ratio. Because of this lack of magnesium in fossilized coral, magnesium compounds are often added, resulting in a substantial dilution of the coral. After studying many types of coral supplements, I have concluded that marine coral—not fossilized coral—taken in complete format is obviously the most ideal way to consume coral calcium for health.

해변으로 밀려온 화석화된 산호는 풍화작용으로 인해 미네랄 함량의 일부를 잃었으며, 이를 건조하고 미세한 분말로 만들어 물의 pH를 빠르게 변화시킬 수 있습니다. 또한 일부 시중에서 판매되는 산호칼슘 제품에는 알칼리도를 높이기 위해 수산화물 형태로 칼슘이 첨가되어 있습니다. 또한, 화석화된 산호에는 1% 미만의 마그네슘이 함유되어 있는 반면, 해양 산호에는 약 12%의 마그네슘이 함유되어 있어 24%의 칼슘이 균형을 이루어 완벽한 생물학적 칼슘/마그네슘 비율이 2:1이 됩니다. 화석화된 산호에는 마그네슘이 부족하기 때문에 종종 마그네슘 화합물이 첨가되어 산호가 상당히 희석됩니다. 여러 유형의 산호 보충제를 연구한 후, 저는 화석화된 산호가 아닌 해양 산호를 완전한 형태로 섭취하는 것이 건강을 위해 산호 칼슘을 섭취하는 가장 이상적인 방법이라는 결론을 내렸습니다.

Many commercial companies have promoted coral calcium from Okinawa as though it is all the same material. However, the harvesting of marine bed coral calcium is much more difficult and costly than merely collecting fossilized coral from beach mines. This fossilized coral has undergone thousands—if not millions—of years of erosion, losing most of its magnesium content and much of its trace-metal nutrient content. Also, because of the hype generated by coral calcium testimonials, numerous, unscrupulous entrepreneurs are harvesting coral from other locations around the world (this coral does not have the desired microbes), but telling their customers that it comes from Okinawa. Some even go so far as to blend their coral with Okinawan coral so that they can make the claim that it comes from Okinawa.

많은 상업 회사에서는 오키나와 산 산호 칼슘이 모두 같은 재료인 것처럼 홍보했습니다. 그러나 해양바닥 산호 칼슘을 채취하는 것은 단지 해변 광산에서 화석화된 산호를 채취하는 것보다 훨씬 어렵고 비용이 많이 듭니다. 이 화석화된 산호는 수백만 년은 아니더라도 수천 년 동안 침식을 겪어 대부분의 마그네슘 함량과 미량 금속 영양분 함량을 대부분 잃었습니다. 또한 산호 칼슘에 대한 과대 광고로 인해 수많은 부도덕한 기업가들이 전 세계 다른 지역에서 산호를 수확하고 있지만(이 산호에는 원하는 미생물이 없습니다) 고객들에게 그것이 오키나와에서 왔다고 말하고 있습니다. 심지어 어떤 사람들은 자신의 산호를 오키나와산 산호와 섞어서 그것이 오키나와산이라고 주장하기도 합니다.

Despite the deficiencies, both tea bag coral and fossilized coral consumption have led to remarkable health testimonials, although not as many as the consumption of marine coral. This is due to the microbe factor (explained in detail in the next paragraph). There are some who would believe that the microbes would be destroyed when the coral is heated for dehydration purposes. However, rod-like bacteria can survive poor conditions, such as severe drought, heat, radiation and various chemicals. They do this by forming structures called endospores. A single bacterium will form a small sphere-shaped or oval-shaped spore within its cytoplasm. This endospore is protected by a tough outer covering. It remains dormant until favorable conditions reappear, when the spores develop into bacteria cells. In addition there are many other factors that make coral calcium of marine origin more ideal for health. I prefer coral that is used in vegetable capsules or at least capsules that are made to dissolve at the right time, to provide the best circumstances for mineral absorption. The practice of breaking capsules and adding the contents to water is unnecessary, except in circumstances where some people cannot readily swallow capsules.

부족함에도 불구하고 티백 산호와 화석화된 산호 소비는 해양 산호 소비만큼은 아니지만 주목할 만한 건강 평가를 이끌어냈습니다. 미생물 요인 때문입니다(다음 단락에서 자세히 설명). 산호를 탈수 목적으로 가열하면 미생물이 파괴될 것이라고 믿을 사람들이 있습니다. 그러나 막대 모양의 박테리아는 심각한 가뭄, 열, 방사선 및 다양한 화학 물질과 같은 열악한 조건에서도 살아남을 수 있습니다. 그들은 내생포자라고 불리는 구조를 형성함으로써 이를 수행합니다. 하나의 박테리아가 세포질 내에 작은 구 모양 또는 타원형 포자를 형성합니다. 이 내생포자는 단단한 외부 덮개로 보호됩니다. 포자가 박테리아 세포로 발달하는 유리한 조건이 다시 나타날 때까지 휴면 상태를 유지합니다. 이외에도 해양에서 유래한 산호 칼슘이 건강에 더 이상적인 요인이 많이 있습니다. 나는 미네랄 흡수를 위한 최상의 환경을 제공하기 위해 식물성 캡슐 또는 적어도 적절한 시기에 용해되도록 만들어진 캡슐에 사용되는 산호를 선호합니다. 캡슐을 깨뜨리고 내용물을 물에 첨가하는 연습은 일부 사람들이 캡슐을 쉽게 삼킬 수 없는 상황을 제외하고는 불필요합니다.

Microbes or bacillus are defined as any genus of rod-shaped bacteria that occur in chains, produce spores and are active only in the presence of oxygen and water. Although some microorganisms are destroyed in the process of drying, this process is not, per se, lethal to microorganisms. The addition of water can spring them back to life. Microbes can be found living in all living animals and plants. Of course most microbes can live off of plants and food, and are best known for their ability to spoil the food. Actually spoiling food is a form of digestion. Thus, spoiled food is pre-digested by the microbes. This is probably the reason that most of the animal kingdom, including humans, have substantial numbers of microbes in their intestines. The strong acid in the stomach cannot break down all food, especially complex carbohydrates. However, the microbes in the intestine living of of these foods, do indeed break them down and make them available for absorption by the small intestine. Also, the rod-like shape allows the microbes to penetrate deep into the finger-like villi, (5,000,000 lining the intestine), where they can easily be absorbed by 1) facilitated diffusion (glucose combines with a carrier substance which is soluble in the lipid layer of the cell membrane), 2) osmosis (the movement of water molecules and dissolved solids through semi-permeable cell membranes from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration), 3) filtration (movement of solvents and dissolved substances across semipermeable cell membranes by mechanical pressure, usually high pressure to low pressure), 4) dialysis (separation of small molecules from large molecules by semipermeable membrane) and 5) pinocytosis (or “cell drinking” where the liquid nutrient attracted to the surface of the cell membrane is engulfed). As a result, the microbes are crucial to life. Fortunately, most of the hundreds of non-marine microbes found in the human intestine were transferred by the mother. Some animals, like the baby elephant, have to eat their mothers excrement just to get the needed microbes.

미생물 또는 바실러스는 사슬 모양으로 생겨 포자를 생성하고 산소와 물이 있는 곳에서만 활동하는 막대 모양의 박테리아의 모든 속으로 정의됩니다. 일부 미생물은 건조하는 과정에서 파괴되기도 하지만, 이 과정 자체가 미생물에게 치명적인 것은 아닙니다. 물을 첨가하면 미생물이 다시 살아날 수 있습니다. 미생물은 모든 살아있는 동물과 식물에 살고 있습니다. 물론 대부분의 미생물은 식물과 음식을 먹고 살 수 있고, 음식을 상하게 하는 능력이 있는 것으로 잘 알려져 있습니다. 실제로 음식을 상하게 하는 것은 소화의 한 형태입니다. 따라서 상한 음식은 미생물에 의해 미리 소화됩니다. 아마도 인간을 포함한 대부분의 동물계가 장내에 미생물을 상당히 많이 가지고 있는 이유일 것입니다. 위에서 강산으로 인해 모든 음식, 특히 복합 탄수화물을 분해할 수는 없습니다. 그러나 실제로 이러한 음식을 먹고 사는 장내 미생물은 이를 분해하여 소장에서 흡수할 수 있도록 만듭니다. 또한 막대 모양 덕분에 미생물이 손가락처럼 생긴 융모 깊숙이 침투하여 (장을 따라 늘어선 5,000,000개) 쉽게 흡수될 수 있습니다. 1) 확산 촉진 (포도당과 세포막의 지질층에 잘 녹는 운반 물질이 결합), 2) 삼투압 (반투과성 세포막을 통해 고농도에서 저농도로 물 분자와 용해된 고체가 이동), 3) 여과 (기계적 압력, 보통 고압에서 저압으로 이동), 4) 투석 (반투과성 세포막에 의해 큰 분자에서 작은 분자가 분리됨), 5) 피노구증 (또는 세포막 표면에 끌린 액체 영양소가 삼켜지는 세포 음용). 그 결과 미생물은 생명에 매우 중요합니다. 다행히도 인간의 장에서 발견되는 수백 종의 비해양 미생물 대부분은 어머니에 의해 옮겨졌습니다. 아기 코끼리와 같은 일부 동물들은 필요한 미생물을 얻기 위해 어미의 배설물을 먹어야 합니다.

The liver, pancreas, and intestine, all secret fluids to assist the absorption of nutrients. Each day the liver secrets almost a quart of yellow, brownish, or olive-green liquid called bile. It has a pH of 7.6 to 8.6 and consists of water, bile salts, bile acids, a number of lipids, and two pigments called biliverdin and bilirubin. When red blood cells are broken down, iron, globin and bilirubin are released. The iron and globin are recycled, but some of the bilirubin is excreted into the bile ducts. Bilirubin is eventually broken down in the intestines, and its breakdown products give feces their color. Other substances found in bile aid in the digestion of fats by emulsifying them and are required for their absorption. Each day the pancreas produces about a quart and a half of a clear colorless liquid called pancreatic juice, which consists mostly of water, some salts, sodium bicarbonate and enzymes. The sodium bicarbonate gives the pancreatic juice an alkaline pH (7.1 to 8.2) that helps neutralize stomach acids and stops the action of pepsin from the stomach and creates the proper environment for enzymes in the small intestine. The enzymes in the pancreatic juice include a carbohydrate-digesting enzyme, several protein digesting enzymes, the only active fat digesting enzyme, and a nucleic aciddigesting enzyme. The intestine itself produces up to three quarts of intestinal juice; it is a clear fluid with an alkaline pH of 7.6. and contains water, mucus, and enzymes that complete the digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acid. Thus the liver, pancreas and intestinal juices are crucial in the digestive process which helps to liberate the nutrients. Bacteria also plays a crucial role in the digestive process as well as in the absorption process.

간, 췌장, 내장은 모두 영양분의 흡수를 돕는 비밀 체액입니다. 매일 간은 담즙이라고 불리는 노란색, 갈색 또는 올리브 녹색 액체를 거의 1쿼트 정도 분비합니다. pH는 7.6~8.6이며 물, 담즙염, 담즙산, 다양한 지질, 빌리베르딘과 빌리루빈이라는 두 가지 색소로 구성됩니다. 적혈구가 분해되면 철, 글로빈, 빌리루빈이 방출됩니다. 철분과 글로빈은 재활용되지만 빌리루빈의 일부는 담관으로 배설됩니다. 빌리루빈은 결국 장에서 분해되고 그 분해 생성물은 대변에 색깔을 부여합니다. 담즙에서 발견되는 다른 물질은 지방을 유화시켜 지방을 소화하는 데 도움을 주며 흡수에 필요합니다. 매일 췌장은 대부분 물, 일부 염, 중탄산나트륨 및 효소로 구성된 췌장액이라고 불리는 투명한 무색 액체 약 1쿼트 반을 생성합니다. 중탄산나트륨은 췌장액에 알칼리성 pH(7.1~8.2)를 부여하여 위산을 중화시키고 위에서 펩신의 작용을 중단시키며 소장 내 효소에 적합한 환경을 조성합니다. 췌액에 함유된 효소에는 탄수화물 소화효소, 여러 가지 단백질 소화효소, 유일한 활성지방 소화효소, 핵산 소화효소가 포함됩니다. 장 자체는 최대 3쿼트의 장액을 생성합니다. 알칼리성 pH 7.6의 투명한 액체입니다. 탄수화물, 단백질 및 핵산의 소화를 완료하는 물, 점액 및 효소가 포함되어 있습니다. 따라서 간, 췌장 및 장액은 소화 과정에서 영양분을 방출하는 데 중요한 역할을 합니다. 박테리아는 또한 소화 과정과 흡수 과정에서 중요한 역할을 합니다.

The genera of bacteria that are found in the intestinal tract are: Bacteroides (22 species, non-sporing rods), Clostidium (61 species, heat-resistant spore-forming rods), Citrobacter (two species, lactose fermenting rods), Enterobacter (two rods, ferment glucose and lactose), Escherichia (one specie, rods), Lactobacillus (27 species, non-sporing rods employed in the production of fermented milks), Proteus (five species, aerobic rods that hydrolyze urea), Pseudomonas, (29 species, most important bacteria in spoilage of meats, poultry, eggs and seafoods), Salmonella (1,800 species that ferment sugars and glucose), Shigella (4 species, aerobic, like pollution), Staphylococcus (3 species, coagulate blood, also common in nasal cavities) and Streptococcus (21 species).

장내에서 발견되는 세균의 종류는 Bacteroides(22종, 비포자형성봉), Clostidium(61종, 내열성 포자형성봉), Citrobacter(2종, 유당발효봉), Enterobacter( 두 개의 막대, 발효 포도당과 유당), Escherichia(1종, 막대), Lactobacillus(27종, 발효유 생산에 사용되는 비포자 막대), Proteus(5종, 요소를 가수분해하는 호기성 막대), Pseudomonas, ( 29종, 육류, 가금류, 계란 및 해산물 부패에 가장 중요한 박테리아), 살모넬라균(당과 포도당을 발효시키는 1,800종), 시겔라균(4종, 호기성, 오염 유사), 포도상구균(3종, 혈액 응고, 또한 흔함) 비강 내) 및 연쇄상구균(21종).

Salt greater than 1% can cross the cell membranes of most bacterium by osmosis, which results in growth-inhibition and possibly death of the microbes. Everyone is also familiar with the preservation of meat by salting, which kills or inhibits the bacteria. Thus, large quantities of salt in the intestinal tract, which occur when large quantities of nutrients have been digested (hydrochloric acid from the stomach reacting with the sodium).

1%를 초과하는 염분은 삼투에 의해 대부분의 박테리아의 세포막을 통과할 수 있으며, 이로 인해 미생물의 성장이 억제되고 사망할 수도 있습니다. 또한 박테리아를 죽이거나 억제하는 소금에 절여 고기를 보존하는 방법에 대해서는 누구나 잘 알고 있습니다. 따라서, 다량의 영양소가 소화될 때(위에서 나온 염산이 나트륨과 반응함) 장관에 다량의 염분이 발생합니다.

On the contrary, “marine microbes,” such as those found in coral calcium by the Swedish, thrive in high salt environments. Also because of their original, salty marine environment, as well as their calcium magnesium and mineral environment, the marine microbes have no difficulty assisting the body in absorbing high quantities of these minerals, especially when the intestine is saline, resulting from the consumption of large amounts of mineral nutrients. These same salts, however, incapacitate the natural microbes in the intestinal tract, thereby inhibiting nutrient absorption. Thus, the coral marine microbes resolve this problem, dramatically increasing the absorption of the nutrients by the body.

반대로 스웨덴산 산호 칼슘에서 발견된 것과 같은 “해양 미생물”은 염도가 높은 환경에서 번성합니다. 또한 원래의 짠 해양 환경과 칼슘, 마그네슘 및 미네랄 환경으로 인해 해양 미생물은 신체가 이러한 미네랄을 대량으로 흡수하는 데 어려움을 겪지 않습니다. 특히 장이 염분일 때 다량의 섭취로 인해 더욱 그렇습니다. 미네랄 영양소의 양. 그러나 이러한 동일한 염은 장내 천연 미생물을 무력화시켜 영양소 흡수를 방해합니다. 따라서 산호 해양 미생물은 이 문제를 해결하여 신체의 영양분 흡수를 극적으로 증가시킵니다.

Those people using a small sachet teabag that allows only a tiny amount of coral to dissolve in the liquid in which they are placed, and those using fossilized coral, still get some benefits from the marine microbes, hence the testimonials. Also, these testimonies emanating from the small intake of nutrients are nothing short of astounding. The reason for this success is that when the teabag or the fossilized coral is placed in a liquid the microbes come to life and are consumed when the liquid is drank. These microbes can then latch onto nutrients already in the duodenum and pull them into the body resulting in health benefits. Consumption of marine coral, on the other hand, allows the total nutrient content of the coral to be consumed as well, and therefore provides far greater health benefits, leading to more testimonials. The bottom line is that all coral from Okinawa has fantastic health benefits, but the marine coral is far superior.

아주 작은 양의 산호만 액체에 녹일 수 있는 작은 봉지 티백을 사용하는 사람들과 화석화된 산호를 사용하는 사람들은 여전히 해양 미생물로부터 어느 정도 혜택을 받고 있으며, 따라서 이러한 평가는 다음과 같습니다. 또한, 적은 양의 영양소 섭취에서 나오는 이러한 증언들은 경이롭기 그지없습니다. 이러한 성공의 이유는 티백이나 화석화된 산호를 액체에 담그면 미생물이 살아나서 액체를 마실 때 모두 소모되기 때문입니다. 이 미생물은 이미 십이지장에 있는 영양분에 달라붙어 몸 안으로 끌어당겨 건강상의 이점을 얻을 수 있습니다. 반면에 해양 산호를 섭취하면 산호의 전체 영양분 함량도 함께 섭취될 수 있으므로 훨씬 더 큰 건강상의 이점을 제공하여 더 많은 평가를 받게 됩니다. 요점은 오키나와의 모든 산호가 환상적인 건강상의 이점을 가지고 있지만 해양 산호가 훨씬 우수하다는 것입니다.

Coral is also very much like human bone, so the body does not reject it; and it is conducive to new bone growth. In Germany surgeons will pack the cracks and holes in the broken bones of the elderly with a coral paste made from coral calcium and water. Within three weeks the coral is displaced with new bone growth. James Tobin in the Detroit News writes, “Because of a gift from the sea, coral calcium, Christian Groth is swimming again.” The coral rests snuggly inside the femur (thigh bone) of his right leg, just above the knee. It fills a hole the size of a large marble, replacing a benign tumor that was making it harder and harder for Chris, 14, to play the sports he loves. If you use a powerful microscope to compare the coral to Chris’ bone, you could not tell the difference. Chris is one of the first people in Metro Detroit to have a bone repaired with sea coral and is “doing everything,” said his doctor, Ronald Irwin, an orthopedic oncologist affiliated with the Beaumint Hospital, Royal Oak. “It looks good,” Irwin said,”he’ll ski this year!”

산호는 또한 인간의 뼈와 매우 유사하므로 신체가 이를 거부하지 않습니다. 그리고 새로운 뼈의 성장에 도움이 됩니다. 독일에서는 외과 의사들이 산호 칼슘과 물로 만든 산호 반죽을 사용하여 노인들의 부러진 뼈에 생긴 균열과 구멍을 메울 것입니다. 3주 이내에 산호는 새로운 뼈의 성장으로 대체됩니다. 디트로이트 뉴스의 제임스 토빈(James Tobin)은 “바다가 준 선물인 산호칼슘 덕분에 크리스찬 그로스가 다시 수영을 하게 됐다”고 썼다. 산호는 오른쪽 다리의 대퇴골(허벅지 뼈) 내부, 무릎 바로 위에 꼭 맞게 놓여 있습니다. 이는 큰 대리석 크기의 구멍을 채워서 Chris(14세)가 좋아하는 스포츠를 하는 것을 점점 더 어렵게 만드는 양성 종양을 대체합니다. 강력한 현미경을 사용하여 산호와 크리스의 뼈를 비교해 보면 차이를 알 수 없습니다. 크리스는 메트로 디트로이트에서 바다 산호로 뼈를 수리한 최초의 사람 중 한 명이며 "모든 일을 하고 있다"고 로얄 오크 보민트 병원 소속 정형외과 종양학자인 그의 주치의인 로널드 어윈이 말했습니다. “좋아 보이네요.” Irwin이 말했습니다. “그는 올해 스키를 탈 거예요!”

In the May issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, 2001, wrote about the “bionic thumb.” Doctor Charles Vacanti at the University of Massachusetts re-created a thumb for Paul Murcia who had lost his in a machine accident. First a small sample of bone from the patient’s arm was cultured to multiply. Then a sea coral scaffold was sculpted into the shape of the missing thumb bone, and then implanted into Murcia’s thumb. The patient’s own bone cells, grown in the lab, were then injected onto the scaffold. The bone cells grew a blood supply and the coral scaffold slowly melted away, leaving a new living thumb bone. The doctors predict that eventually all that will be left will be a thumb bone with healthy bone cells and no coral. Twenty-eight months after the surgery, the patient is able to use his thumb relatively normally, and the doctors say that the experiment in tissue engineering using the coral is working.

2001년 New England Journal of Medicine 5월호에는 "생체공학 엄지"에 관한 글이 실렸습니다. 매사추세츠 대학의 찰스 바칸티(Charles Vacanti) 박사는 기계 사고로 잃어버린 폴 무르시아(Paul Murcia)의 엄지손가락을 다시 만들어냈습니다. 먼저 환자의 팔에서 채취한 작은 뼈 샘플을 배양하여 증식시켰습니다. 그런 다음 바다 산호 비계를 잃어버린 엄지뼈 모양으로 조각한 다음 무르시아의 엄지손가락에 이식했습니다. 그런 다음 실험실에서 배양한 환자 자신의 뼈 세포를 비계에 주입했습니다. 뼈 세포는 혈액 공급을 증가시켰고 산호 비계는 천천히 녹아 새로운 살아있는 엄지뼈를 남겼습니다. 의사들은 결국 남은 것은 산호가 없고 건강한 뼈 세포가 있는 엄지손가락 뼈만 남게 될 것이라고 예측합니다. 수술 후 28개월이 지나 환자는 엄지손가락을 비교적 정상적으로 사용할 수 있게 됐으며, 의사들은 산호를 이용한 조직공학 실험이 효과가 있다고 전했다.

All testimonials are considered as hearsay and are inadmissible to most scientists. However, when testimonials begin flooding out of countries all over the world, by shear number, they themselves become scientific fact, and scientific fact cannot be ignored by any scientist. Although coral has only been in America for a few years, already the testimonies are flooding in. Here are a few examples:

모든 증언은 소문으로 간주되며 대부분의 과학자들이 받아들일 수 없습니다. 그러나 증언이 전 세계 여러 나라에서 넘쳐나기 시작하면 그 자체가 과학적 사실이 되고 어떤 과학자도 과학적 사실을 무시할 수 없습니다. 산호초가 미국에 온 지 몇 년밖에 되지 않았지만 이미 증언이 넘쳐나고 있습니다. 다음은 몇 가지 예입니다.

TESTIMONIES:

1. Hello, my name is Conrad Sims, I am 29-years-old and I live in Decatur, Ohio. I am athletic and consider myself to be in good health. A few months ago, my neck began to get sore and then began to swell. I tried to ignore it, but it began to become painful. It was not long before the swelling was the size of a golf ball and my co-workers demanded that I see a doctor. It was diagnosed as malignant cancer and the doctor told me that it had to be removed surgically. He said there was no other way. I did not have health insurance for the surgery and I was terrified. A friend suggested I try coral calcium. I thought, “What’s a little calcium going to do for me?” I was desperate, so I started taking the coral and within a week the pain had subsided. After two weeks, the size of the tumor was dramatically reduced, and after four weeks it appeared to be gone. I am back to my old self and feeling great. God bless coral calcium, Conrad Sim. (March, 2001).

2. My name is Sue Ann Miller and I live in Akron, Ohio. I had been suffering for years with several diseases: diabetes, Bells Palsy, carpel tunnel syndrome, and I have had hip, knee and elbow replacements. I lived on drugs and was in constant pain. I could barely walk and could not climb stairs. Then my sister went to a talk by Mr. Barefoot and brought me some coral calcium. I was in such pain and was so desperate that I would try anything. In just a few weeks the pain went away. A few weeks later and I returned to full mobility as my swelling went down and my hands straightened out. A few weeks more and I could bend over, touch my toes and run up stairs. I have gotten my life back. The coral was magic and I thank God for the coral and Bob Barefoot. I love you all, Sue Ann Miller, Ohio.

3. My name is Donna Crow and I am struggling to recover from chronic fatigue syndrome which struck me severely 12 years ago. One of the problems with CFS victims, as I am sure you know, is that we have problems absorbing and/or using minerals. As a result, we often have insomnia, heart palpitations and multitudes of intestinal problems. A friend told me about coral calcium. She sent me a tape by Dr. Robert Barefoot. I was skeptical because someone else had sent me coral calcium that came in little tea bags and I had tried it with no noticeable benefit. But I value this friends nutritional advise and out of honor for our friendship I listened to the tape. It was so educational. It opened up, for me, a whole new understanding of the need for calcium in the body. I loved the information and was determined to try some. I got my first bottle and opened a cap and dumped it in my mouth, since I seem to absorb better when I do that and within two minutes I felt the most amazing things in my body. Peace would be the best word to describe it. And from that day on I never have had the stress in my chest I had, had for 12 years prior. And my digestion is wonderful now-no acid reflux anymore. And I have NO heart palpitations at all. This product is more wonderful to me than I can say. Unless you have had constant heart stress and other calcium/magnesium related problems long term, you cannot imagine how wonderful it is to go through a day without those problems. It is like getting out of prison. I have all my friends and family on this stuff and they ALL love it for various reasons. That is the beauty of getting your mineral needs met. Your body will use them to do the unique repairs that you need. The body is so smart. If you give it the tools to work with it will literally work wonders for you. Thank you for a product that has been like a miracle for me. Donna Crow, 813 SE Crescent Place, Newport, OR 97465.

4. Hi to everyone. Just wanted to let you all know that I’ve been using the Coral Calcium, and it is definitely helping me. I am especially excited over the fact that I am sleeping better. My usual night activity is frequent urination, getting up six to eight times in a eight hour period to use the bathroom, plus I wake up in pain all through the night. Since the very first night, I slept at least four hours straight before I had to relieve my bladder, then I took another calcium (not sure if it was necessary at that point) and slept like a baby another four hours. It’s wonderful. This happens every night now. I have had such a sleep deficit for so long. Now some more good news: I have less pain. Oh thank God! I have Fibromyalgia, and after years of disability due to such horrible, constant pain, a wheel chair, and a walker, I have hope of getting better, and I’m not so fatigued. To have any less pain is a miracle, and such a blessing. Now if I can start exercising and lose weight I will be so forever grateful to this product, and to Donna. Exercising makes Fibromyalgia worse, plus I have a back problem, a foot problem, and very weak legs. But somehow I know I’m going to keep getting better. THANKS to Donna for sharing this info. with me. I encourage you all to try it also. I’ve taken other calcium products, but never achieved these good results. Bless you all, Joanie O.

5. My name is Allen Jensen and I have battled high blood pressure for a years and have been diagnosed with diabetes for three years. Medication has helped me more or less keep both in “in check,” but has done nothing to lower either the blood pressure or my blood sugar level. Then, in October 1997, I was diagnosed with Guillaine-Barre Syndrome, a neurological disorder in which the nerves are destroyed by a “glitch” in the body’s immune system. I lost a great deal of strength and dexterity in my hands, arms and legs. My active lifestyle of riding horses and a 30-year career as a telephone installer/repair technician ended with no choice but to take early disability retirement. In mid-May 2000, I began taking coral calcium. Blood work showed a drastic improvement from tests in November 1999. My triglycerides improved from 1074 to 510, cholesterol from 380 to 210, and my blood sugar from 284 to 168. My doctor told me to “Keep doing whatever you’re doing.” With daily use of the coral calcium I am confident that I will eventually be able to discontinue all of my medications. Coral calcium has virtually given me back the life I was beginning to believe I would not be able to enjoy again. Allen Jenson, Breckenridge, Texas.

6. With nothing to lose, we started giving our crippled arthritic dog, Bandit, 2 coral calcium capsules every day, figuring that if an average person takes two a day to fight serious illness, then Bandit, at about 43 pounds, should take 2. She takes her capsules in peanut butter! That was July 1, 2000. Within just a day or two, she was eating again and walking out into the backyard and “using the facilities.” Within a week she was walking normally. In two weeks she would actually “trot” out to the backyard, get on and off the couch, and come upstairs. By the end of three weeks she was actually playing “wrestling” with our four year old dog, something she had not done in two years. Our veterinarian saw her and asked what we had done to create the “miracle”. He bought some coral and said that he would be experimenting on some of his patients. By August, Bandit was like a new dog. She’ll actually run now! Bob Zacher, Memphis, Tennesee.

7. My name is Lisa Macintire and my 18-year -old cat, “Tootsie,” nine pounds started limping about 2 years ago and became very stiff-legged. She couldn’t jump on things like the washer where she eats. She obviously had arthritis and was getting worse. About two months ago I started giving her two capsules of coral calcium every day, and in less than two weeks, she stopped limping. I kept giving her one capsule each day after that. In less than a month, she started jumping and climbing all over the furniture. A checkup by the vet showed her blood work, urine, etc. revealed no ill effects. The vet’s words were, “She’s in perfect shape.” The only side effect Tootsie suffered was “feeling GREAT.” This coral calcium is truly a miracle. Lisa Macintire, Memphis, Tennessee.

8. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1978, and along with the disease came excruciating pain. In 1986 a pump was surgically installed in my abdomen, which put morphine into my spinal fluid 24 hours a day, and brought me modest relief. Last year, ater nine times in the hospital and eight surgeries, someone introduced me to colloidal minerals, which began to turn my life around. When I heard about Coral Calcium I thought, “How is a calcium product going to help me?” Well, I tried it June 24th, and it didn’t take me long to realize that this was not the run-of-the-mill calcium. About the first of July, I realized that I had no pain. For the first time in 19 years I had no pain and I could work 12 hours a day without stopping to lie down. Earl Bailley, PhD, Doctor of Divinity, Ohio.

9. Hi, my name is Dorothy Boyer and I will be 80-years-old in June 2001. I have had problems at night time with my legs. They get nervous feeling and I have to get up and stomp around the room to get it to stop and then retire again. It is quite tiring to have to do this every night. My daughter has tried to help me with many kinds of calcium and magnesium products, some quite expensive and none gave relief. Then she found Mr. Robert Barefoot’s coral calcium and said, “Try this.” And the very first night I slept through the night without any leg problems. That was several months ago and I haven’t had any night time leg problems since starting the coral calcium. Also I am very happy because I feel like I can think again. I have been very active mentally all my life and just in the last year I started to have trouble concentrating and staying focused. After just a few days on this coral calcium I felt like I could think again. I am very happy about that. The biggest thing though is that I have a congestive enlarged heart and it doesn’t take much for me to get a really rapid heart beat. Just putting on a blouse in the morning would cause my heart to race and I would have to sit on the side of the bed and just calmly breath until it passed. From the first day I took coral calcium I have not had that again and that is the thing I am most happy about. It was very scary and it is nice to not be afraid everyday. Sincerely, Dorothy Boyer, Newport, Oregon.

10. Your book did wonders for me. I had reached the point that joint pain was a part of my everyday life. Then, six weeks on coral calcium and I had become virtually pain free. Now, one year later, I feel better than I have in eight or nine years. Now my only problem is making my family and friends believe that being healthy can be so easy. Rick Whedbee, Covington, Georgia.

11. My husband, Mark, had painful heel spurs. He was advised to have surgery. He began taking coral calcium, six per day, and within two months he almost was pain-free. Within three months, all of the pain was gone and the doctors have advised that he no longer needs surgery. Coral was a miracle, as Mark’s job has him working on his feet all day long. Betty Gosda, Illinois.

12. My name is Patty and my husband was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. My husband is 69-years-old, 6’6,” and works 12-to-14 hours every day from 5 am to 5 pm and later. Rather than expose himself to the horror of conventional treatment, he began taking coral calcium. After three weeks he had more x-rays and no cancer was found. Three weeks later, he went for a second opinion and had more extensive x-rays and once again, no cancer was found. God bless coral calcium. Patty, Ponca City, Oklahoma.

13. First of all, I want to start off by telling you about my brother. Mr. Barefoot, you have spoken with my father several times about him. He has lung cancer. When it was detected, he had four lesions on his lung, one was the size of a peach seed. My Dad convinced my brother to take coral calcium. After six weeks when they ran another scan, three of the lesions were immeasurable, the big one had shrunk 60%. AMAZING!!! Jeff Townsend, Kentucky.

14. Your website and research has truly been a blessing in my discovery of Hodgkin’s Disease Denise Horick, deniseh@epix.net.

15. Just want to take a moment to thank you for all your help. What coral calcium has done for me over a brief period is nothing short of profound. I can’t remember any time in the last 29 years that I wasn’t in substantial pain ... that is, until now. I have tried every pain remedy the orthodox medical community has in their arsenal, including narcotics, steroids, and anti-inflammatories, just to name a few. Most of them did a great job of messing with my head, a feeling I literally hate, but did very little to comfort the pain. I know almost nothing about the science behind this majestic mineral, coral calcium, I only know that it works. I have more energy, more range of motion, and less pain than I ever thought possible! I know that there was a time in my life that I was pain free, I just couldn’t remember how it felt until now. There are no words I can think of to adequately explain how much better I feel or what it means to me. Thank you so very much! Best Regards, Gary T Schilling.

16. I heard about your program from a lady who attended your meeting in Twin Falls this summer. My husband has a rare genetic disorder called Alpha I Antitripsin, which is genetic emphysema that develops because the liver is not functioning properly, therefore, the lungs do not function properly either. He has been under a doctor’s care for nine years. After learning about your recommendations to help heal disease, my husband began taking the vitamins and the coral calcium and has been on the program for seven weeks. He let go of his drugs and monthly prolastin infusion program. He is now very careful about what he eats. He feels better and better every day and has just let go of his inhaler. He has seen great improvement. I would love to speak to you and share this miracle unfolding before our very eyes. You are wonderful ... thank you for your research and efforts. Mary Wiggins.

17. I thank you for the confidence that you built for me. After being diagnosed with melanoma with no real hope for treatment if it were to reoccur, I felt devastated. My surgery was done at the Mayo Hospital in Rochester which is suppose to be “world renown for its advancements in medicine,” but that can’t mean advancements in reference to the treatment of cancer!! I now feel a sense of security for which I thank you. In a world of chaos and pain due to surgery, I felt that I was “drowning” in a sense, and thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart and the hearts of my precious family in Minnesota. I have given your information to anyone who has felt the perils of ill health and you are indeed held in high admiration for your work and devotion to healing mankind !! YES for CORAL CALCIUM !!! Marcy in Minnesota.

18. I can’t believe how different I feel after taking coral calcium. I lived with constant pain in my heel for months. I could not jog because I could just barely walk. After taking coral calcium for two months, the pain is gone. I am back jogging. I would not have done this if had not been for you. Thank you very much, Russ Tomin.

19. When one has been active all their life, it is impossible to understand the pain one suffers when the body is ravished by rheumatoid arthritis. Knowing that it was important to stay active, I enrolled in a fitness class. One of the activities involved lifting weights (20 pounds) with my legs. Due to the weakened condition of my legs, I tore a vital part of my knee. This sent me to the doctor and to physical therapy. When the pain did not go away, the doctor realized that the rheumatoid arthritis had taken over. I had been diagnosed 37 years prior with lymph edema, which had caused fluid buildup in my legs. There was no known cure. The fluid must constantly be pumped out of my legs. This caused further damage and I no longer could have the fluid pumped out. I was in exacerbated pain now. Then I learned about coral calcium. Within two weeks, I began to notice an appreciable decline in the arthritic pain. Within three months I became pain free and I am off my walker. Also, the swelling had gone down in my mouth and I could use my dentures once again. Even my barber commented on how thick my hair had gotten. I am now “72-years-young” after only three months on coral calcium. I can’t wait to see what three years on coral calcium will accomplish. All I can say is, God bless all those who have made nutritional discoveries, especially coral calcium. Willette Barbee, Plano, Texas.

20. The “Cancer Answer.” The first week of March 2001, my step-father was diagnosed with leukemia. They wanted to start chemotherapy right away. He asked for a 21-day delay so he could start a nutritional program with coral calcium. In addition, Bob Barefoot recommended vitamin D and other minerals. On April 3, 2001 he went back to the doctors to run further tests on his condition. The doctors were amazed and totally baffled. They told him for reasons unexplained he doesn’t need chemotherapy and that everything checked out normal. Hey folks, I thought Bob Barefoot had a screw loose when he claimed “coral calcium” could cure cancer. Turns out, he was right! Jane and Sharon Gerding, Baker, LA.

21. My name is Susan Hedrik, age 49. I worked in a furniture factory carrying, stretching and cutting large rolls of cloth until it almost destroyed my body. I’ve had back surgery and suffered from a painful bone spur on my right thumb which two doctors told me would have to be removed by surgery. I also suffer from arthritis in my left leg. I was introduced to coral calcium and began taking it on January 27, 2001, and after four weeks “MY BONE SPUR WAS GONE!!!” I now can walk without a limp from the arthritis and no longer have to begin my mornings with a heating pad on my neck. For me, coral calcium is a “MIRACLE!!!” Susan Hedrick, IR from Lincolnton, NC.

22. I have a 14-year-and-6-month Dachshund named “Andrea” suffering from arthritis in her hindquarters. She couldn’t walk without falling over. She was unable to jump on a bed or the couch, even with the help of a foot stool. I purchased coral calcium for Andrea and after five days she was becoming more active. After eight days she was jumping on the couch, begging for treats and running and playing. Andrea not only returned to normal activity, she also lost six pounds. Coral calcium also helped her teeth. Since she only has half of her teeth, I used to break her dog biscuit in half so she could chew it. Now, she chomps it down whole. As for myself, I have chronic arthritis in my lower spine. After seeing what coral calcium did for Andrea, I began using coral calcium myself. Ater four days I no longer had to take my prescription drug “Relafen,” which costs over $3.00 per pill (I was taking 2/day). I now am a firm believer in coral calcium as I have personally witnessed what it can do. Jack Polhill from Lincolnton, NC.

23. I would like to confirm‎ that the use of coral calcium has been beneficial to my health. My knee replacements are deferred and my golf swing has improved. I’ll be 74 this summer and I trust this sophomoric feeling is not second childhood. Eugene T. Hall, Calgary, Canada.

24. I am an osteopathic physician practicing osteopathic manipulation in the cranial field in South Central PA. I have a patient who has suffered from severe fibromyalgia for the past several years. Recently she started taking coral calcium. This patient has improved dramatically. She has more flexibility and motion in her muscles and joints than she has in several years and she is nearly pain free on many days. She has been able to continue a multitude of other medication, including chronic pain pills. The information in your books and tapes corresponds well to the science, the practical, the safe, the reasonable. I thank you for the time you have expended educating us. Marianne Herr-Paul, D.O.

25. My mother, who has been on coral calcium for the past two months, paid a visit to her doctor to have her cholesterol re-tested. Her cholesterol had dropped 204 points and the doctor was amazed ! She is now a believer in coral calcium. I thank God for you finding this product that is changing people’s lives and giving their health back. Cindy Metzger.

26. My cousin Shirley had been diagnosed in May with breast cancer and colon cancer. She was scheduled for a double mastectomy and was also going to have her colon removed. You advised her to take the coral calcium and other nutrients and by July the breast cancer was gone and the colon cancer had shrunk. (Note: The October 1, 1998 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine printed a Harvard study of 89,000 woman that found daily multivitamins reduced the risk of colon cancer by as much as 75%.) Her doctors, needless to say, are absolutely amazed. I can’t thank you enough for helping my cousin, Shirley, as she means everything to me. Patti Hernandez, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

27. I am 62-year-old and have always enjoyed good health. In July 1997 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. The diagnosis was confirmed with a biopsy and an ultrasound. Two of six biopsies were positive with cancer. My doctors strongly urged me to take hormones and have my prostate removed. I thought about it but looked for alternative remedies. For six months I boiled Chinese herbs and did Qui Gong exercises and thought that this kept the cancer in abeyance. But in the spring of 1998 a second biopsy turned out to be similar to the first. As a result of reading The Calcium Factor I received excellent treatment and eventually cured myself of prostate cancer. A third biopsy in July 1998 showed only one positive but reduced active cancer. I continued to take coral calcium and other supplements. A fourth biopsy in January 1999 showed that where the tumors had been, there was now only benign prostatic tissue. I had beaten the cancer. As a result, I would strongly recommend that anyone suffering from cancer or similar debilitating diseases, should study Barefoot’s book The Calcium Factor and take responsibility for their own health. I have yet to find anyone who has written such well reasoned and scientifically based material. I have been taking coral calcium for three years and it has saved my life. David G McLean, Chairman of the Board, Canadian National Railways.

28. In October 1996 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. The diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy. In October of that year I started following Robert Barefoot’s coral calcium regime. In July 1997 I had another prostate biopsy in which no evidence of malignancy was found. The regime outlined in the book, The Calcium Factor improves the immune system to where the body can heal itself, without intrusive measures like surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. S. Ross Johnson, Retired President of Prudential Insurance Company of America.

29. I am a physician, President and Executive Medical Director of Health Insight, S.B.S. and Health Advocate Inc., in the state of Michigan. I have extensive credentials and honors that reach the White House and Heads of States in other countries. Mr. Robert Barefoot has worked over the past 20 years with many medical doctors and scientists across the United States and in other countries doing ortho-molecular research on various diseases. The information has been culminated in the book, ‘The Calcium Factor’, which has been used technically as Bibles of Nutrition. Many people I know have thanked Mr. Barefoot for both saving their lives and returning them to good health. Mr. Barefoot is an amazing and extraordinary man who is on a ‘Great Mission’ for all mankind. I thank God for Robert Barefoot and thank God for coral calcium. Liska M. Cooper, M.D., Detroit, Michigan.

30. Mr. Barefoot has been, and continues to be, an advocate for health and natural healing through nutrition and knowledge. He has championed the cause of well over 440,000 American women and children who have been exposed to the toxic effects of silicone implanted devices. Mr. Barefoot, one of the rare silica chemists in the world, has delivered a message of hope to these suffering individuals, who didn’t have any hope before, but are now arming themselves with the book, The Calcium Factor and are spreading the word, especially about the miracle nutrient, coral calcium. His work with hundreds of scientists and medical doctors, researching diet, has elevated him to one of the top speakers on nutrition in the nation. Jill M. Wood, President, Idaho Breast Implant Information Group, Boise, Idaho.

31. I graduated from Harvard University in 1942 (BSc Chemistry) and worked as a research director and in corporate management, and have been awarded two patents. Mr. Barefoot has been highly influential in my survival of prostate cancer, with which I was diagnosed in the fall of 1991. Because of his detailed knowledge of biochemistry, he has much more penetrating knowledge of the relationship between disease and nutrition, a knowledge not available to many trained dieticians because of their lack of biochemical background. With his expertise, he has aided me in not only arresting the progression of my disease, cancer, through diet and nutrition with coral calcium, but also reversing it. Philip Sharples, President Sharples Industries Inc. Tubac, Arizona.

32. I am a chemist and have been involved in product development, specifically nutritional supplements. I have written numerous articles and lectured throughout the United States on these products, especially coral calcium, and the benefits of utilizing alternative medicine and alternative medical products within the U.S. healthcare regimen. Over the past three years, I have traveled and lectured with Mr. Barefoot on numerous occasions all over the United States. He is recognized as a world class expert on calcium, especially coral calcium, and its nutritional benefits for the human body. I have personally seen Mr. Barefoot’s information help a lot of people. Alex Nobles, Executive Vice President, Benchmark USA Inc., Salt Lake.

33. One year ago my son Tim had major back surgery. Several discs had been crushed and three surgeries were performed. Four discs were removed, part of his hip bone was removed and ground to mix with a fusing material, then four cadaver knee cap bones were put into areas where the disks were removed. He has two titanium rods, two cross braces and eight screws in his spine. He started on coral calcium the day after the surgery. The first follow-up doctor’s appointment showed that the fusion was doing great, exceeding the doctor’s expectations. He said that this surgery was one of the toughest cases he has had. He said that he was amazed with the results, and told us to keep doing what we were doing. When Tim ran out of coral calcium for three or four days, he complained of severe back pain, which disappeared as soon as he went back on the coral calcium. Billy J. Stein, Ponca City, Oklahoma.

34. The meeting that I had with you changed my life and how I think about my health. I am the person whose cousins wife you helped. She took your coral calcium and minerals and she no longer has a brain tumor. My cousin’s name is Gary Elias and his wife’s name is Diane Elias. They live in Woodbury, Connecticut and they are both grateful because Diane’s brain tumor pretty much dissolved and has not returned. David Querim, Connecticut.

35. In November 1999 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My PSA was 244!!! On the way home, I listened to your audio tape. Talk about having the hand of God in your life! I knew in my heart that this is what I should do.. Once I started, I never deviated from the plan. The results were amazing after only one month!! My PSA had dropped to 25.5. By May my PSA was 4.6 and I had my doctor and specialists scratching their heads over my instant recovery. My doctor said that he never expected me to live past the end of January 2000. We also prayed and my doctor told me that “maybe the prayer worked,” but it could not have been the calcium and supplements. Fortunately others have listened. My brother-in-law no longer has high blood pressure, ulcers, or indigestion. His sister-in-law no longer gets cramps in her legs and her arthritis is getting better. Her 5-year-old grandson, who suffered so much from leg cramps, no longer has pain or cramping and he can sleep all night long. These are just a few stories. Bob Heinrich, Keremeos, British Columbia.
