Coral
Calcium - Nature's Minerals and pH Balance
For
hundreds of years, Coral has been known to bring relief to many
illnesses and ailments. Heart palpitations, eczema, muscle cramps,
headaches, insomnia, arthritis, diabetes, kidney stones... It is
thought that at least 157 diseases are caused by mineral deficiencies.
Coral
naturally contains a highly absorbable form of every mineral needed
by the body. When coral minerals fulfill a specific mineral deficiency,
a specific health condition is improved. As the coral minerals raise
the overall mineral content of the body, the pH of the body returns
to it's natural alkaline (high pH) state, thus enhancing the immune
system and overall wellness of the individual.
Disease
thrives in an acidic (low pH) environment and starves in an alkaline
(high pH) environment. Although coral is often called "coral calcium",
coral naturally contains every mineral needed by the human body,
not just calcium. This abundance of trace minerals is a large part
of the explanation of coral's legendary powers.
The
full story is a fascinating description of the coral mineral's high
bio-availability, and the resulting benefits to the human body.
Coral
is rich in calcium and performs as an excellent calcium supplement
because it is very absorbable and does not cause the uncomfortable
side effects of constipation commonly found with other calcium supplements.
The calcium component of coral is important but the coral trace
minerals are even more important.
Minerals
are the basic buidling blocks of health. Enzymes, nerves and most
other internal actions rely upon minerals for proper function. Trace
minerals in our soils have become depleted which has led to a deficiency
in our foods and hence our bodies. Trace mineral deficiency is part
of the explanation of the vast decline in health that our society
is facing. Coral minerals truly hold the key to health for many
people. Most minerals are difficult for the human body to absorb.
The
74 minerals naturally present in coral are highly bio-available
because:
1)
Coral minerals are made organically, having been previously digested
by an animal.
2)
Coral minerals have the inherent ability to go ionic upon contact
with moisture.
3)
Coral minerals are in a natural balance with all of the minerals
required to support each mineral in it's designed role.
4)
Coral minerals are synergistic with the human body, so much so that
orthopedic surgeons often use pieces of coral for bone grafts because
the body readily accepts the coral as part of its natural structure.
When
minerals are assimilated and effectively enter the body, specific
trace mineral deficiencies are supplied and overal mineral stores
are replenished.
Wonderful
things begin to happen within the system: specific health conditions
improve that were caused by trace mineral deficiency and as overall
mineral stores are replenished, a beneficial balance is established
in the immune system and general health is enhanced. This overall
replenishment of mineral stores can be quantified and measured as
pH. pH may appear to be an abstract scientific term but can be easily
understood as an oxygen measurement system.
The
higher the number, the greater the oxygen content. All healthy humans
begin life with most of the body fluids and tissues in a slightly
alkaline state (high pH). Over time, in modern society, the body
tissues and fluids often become acidic (low pH) from the food, drink,
prescription drugs, pollution and stress, that are absorbed on a
daily basis. (Note: this discussion of fluids does not include blood,
which keeps a consistent pH).
An
alkaline (high pH/oxygen rich) system is important because we are
oxygen creatures. Oxygen is the most essential substance for human
life. Humans can survive weeks without food and days without water
but only 3 minutes without oxygen. Many Naturopathic Doctors believe
that at least 157 diseases are caused by an acidic/low pH system.
In fact almost every named and unnamed disease condition has one
thing in common: higher than normal accumulation of acidic waste
in the body.
Decades
ago, Dr. Otto Warburg, the only physician to win two Nobel prizes,
proved that cancer can not exist in an alkaline/high pH environment.
If acid is allowed to build up, that part of the body will become
starved of oxygen and disease will not be far behind. It is easy
to visualize the importance of not letting your body become oxygen
starved. Just hold your breath until it becomes a bit uncomfortable
and then try to resume breathing normally, don't take any deep catch
up breaths.
Imagine
your internal organs, trying to function without being able to take
any catch up breaths, day after day, month after month. Many substances
(such as baking soda) can raise pH temporarily but only minerals
can raise and maintain pH. Minerals play a crucial role in alkalizing
the bodily fluids and tissues only when they are in a form that
can be assimilated.
Coral
is a very effective alkalizing agent because the coral minerals
are bio-available, meaning, they get into where they are supposed
to be and where they can do their job.
