Calcium in Plant-Based Diets

Many people avoid milk because it contains saturated fat, cholesterol, allergenic proteins, lactose sugar, and frequent traces of contamination, or simply because they don’t feel well after consuming dairy products. Milk is also linked to Type 1 (juvenile-onset) diabetes and other serious conditions. Happily, there are many other good sources of calcium.

Keeping your bones strong depends more on preventing the loss of calcium from your body than on boosting your calcium intake.

Some cultures consume few or no dairy products and typically ingest fewer than 500 milligrams of calcium per day. However, these people generally have low rates of osteoporosis. Many scientists believe that exercise and other factors have more to do with osteoporosis than calcium intake does. However too much protein is a HUGE reason people get osteoporosis as well.

CALCIUM IN THE BODY

Almost all of the calcium in the body is in the bones. There is a tiny amount in the bloodstream, which is responsible for important functions such as muscle contraction, maintenance of the heartbeat, and transmission of nerve impulses.

We regularly lose calcium from our bloodstream through urine, sweat, and feces. It is renewed with calcium from bone or from the diet.

Bones are constantly broken down and made anew. Up until the age of 30 or so, we build more bone than we lose. Later, the bones tend to break down more than build up. The loss of too much bone calcium can lead to fragile bones or osteoporosis.

How rapidly calcium is lost depends, in part, on the kind and amount of protein you eat, as well as other diet and lifestyle choices.

REDUCING CALCIUM LOSS 

A NUMBER OF FACTORS AFFECT CALCIUM LOSS FROM THE BODY:

• Diets that are high in protein cause more calcium to be lost through the urine.
• Protein from animal products is much more likely to cause calcium loss than protein from plant foods. This may be one reason that vegetarians tend to have stronger bones than meat-eaters.
• Diets high in sodium increase calcium losses in the urine.
• Caffeine increases the rate at which calcium is lost through urine.
• Smoking increases the loss of calcium from the body.

A NUMBER OF FACTORS INCREASE BONE BUILDING IN THE BODY:

• Exercise is one of the most important factors in maintaining bone health.
• Exposure to sunlight allows the body to make the bone-building hormone vitamin D.
• Eating a plentiful amount of fruits and vegetables helps to keep calcium in bone.
• Consuming calcium from plant-based sources, especially green vegetables and beans, provides one of the building blocks for bone building.

SOURCES OF CALCIUM

Exercise and a diet moderate in protein will help to protect your bones. People who eat plant-based diets and are active probably have lower calcium needs. However, it is still important to eat calcium-rich foods every day.

The “Calcium in Foods” chart on the link below gives the amount of calcium found in some excellent plant sources. A quick glance shows how easy it is to meet calcium needs.

Calcium Carbonate, Calcium Phosphate, Dicalcium Phosphate, & Tricalcium Phosphate

CALCIUM CARBONATE

Calcium Carbonate is the carbonic salt of calcium.

Calcium Carbonate is a medication used to prevent or treat low blood calcium levels in people who do not get enough calcium from their diets. It may be used to treat conditions caused by low calcium levels such as bone loss (osteoporosis), weak bones (osteomalacia/rickets), decreased activity of the parathyroid gland (hypoparathyroidism), and a certain muscle disease (latent tetany). It may also be used in certain patients to make sure that they are getting enough calcium (women who are pregnant, nursing or postmenopausal, people taking certain medications such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, or prednisone).

Calcium Carbonate is available under the following different brand names: Tums, Tums Chewy Delights, Tums Extra, Tums Freshers, Tums Kids, Tums Regular, Tums Smoothies, and Tums Ultra or Children's Pepto.

WHAT ARE SIDE EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH USING CALCIUM CARBONATE?

Common Side effects of Calcium Carbonate include:

• Loss Of Appetite
• Constipation
• Gas (Flatulence)
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• High Calcium Levels
• Low Phosphate Levels
• Milk-Alkali Syndrome

This document does not contain all possible side effects and others may occur. Check with your physician for additional information about side effects.

• Calcium Carbonate has serious interactions with at least 21 different drugs.
• Calcium Carbonate has moderate interactions with at least 127 different drugs.
• Calcium Carbonate has minor interactions with at least 66 different drugs.

WHAT IS CALCIUM CARBONATE AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

Calcium Carbonate is a medication used to prevent or treat low blood calcium levels in people who do not get enough calcium from their diets. It may be used to treat conditions caused by low calcium levels such as bone loss (osteoporosis), weak bones (osteomalacia/rickets), decreased activity of the parathyroid gland (hypoparathyroidism), and a certain muscle disease (latent tetany). It may also be used in certain patients to make sure that they are getting enough calcium (women who are pregnant, nursing or postmenopausal, people taking certain medications such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, or prednisone).

Calcium plays a very important role in the body. It is necessary for normal functioning of nerves, cells, muscle, and bone. If there is not enough calcium in the blood, then the body will take calcium from bones, thereby weakening bones. Having the right amount of calcium is important for building and keeping strong bones.

Calcium Carbonate is available under the following different brand names: Tums, Tums Chewy Delights, Tums Extra, Tums Freshers, Tums Kids, Tums Regular, Tums Smoothies, and Tums Ultra or Children's Pepto.

Osteoporosis affects about 44 million Americans over 50 years old, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, with 80 percent of women affected and 20 percent of men. Luckily, calcium carbonate can help prevent or reduce the effects of osteoporosis. However, complications and health problems can occur with calcium carbonate if you are not careful in how you take the supplements and which brand you buy.

Calcium Carbonate

A naturally occurring element, calcium carbonate exists in oyster shells, limestone and chalk, and becomes calcium supplements and antacids through manufacturing. According to MayoClinic.com, calcium carbonate contains 40 percent elemental calcium while the more refined calcium citrate contains 21 percent. Your calcium carbonate may or may not be combined with vitamin D or magnesium to help with absorption.

Toxicity
Because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not regulate dietary supplements, like vitamins and calcium supplements, some calcium carbonate brands may contain toxic metals, such as lead. Check the label on your supplement bottle for the words "purified" or "USP Verified Mark," which both indicate that the calcium has been tested.

Check with your doctor about how calcium carbonate might interact with other drugs you take. For example, the calcium may interfere with antibiotics, thyroid medicine, iron supplements or antacid medications. Other side effects include burping and excess gas, dry mouth, increased urination, loss of appetite and a metallic taste in your mouth.

CALCIUM PHOSPHATE
Calcium phosphate is a family of materials and minerals containing calcium ions (Ca2+) together with inorganic phosphate anions. Some so-called calcium phosphates contain oxide and hydroxide as well. Calcium phosphates are white solids of nutritious value[1] and are found in many living organisms, e.g., bone mineral and tooth enamel.[2] In milk, it exists in a colloidal form in micelles bound to casein protein with magnesium, zinc, and citrate–collectively referred to as colloidal calcium phosphate (CCP).[3] Various calcium phosphate minerals are used in the production of phosphoric acid and fertilizers. Overuse of certain forms of calcium phosphate can lead to nutrient-containing surface runoff and subsequent adverse effects upon receiving waters such as algal blooms and eutrophication.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_phosphate

Calcium phosphate is the calcium salt of phosphoric acid with widely used applications. Calcium phosphate is used to prevent and to treat calcium deficiencies. Calcium phosphate is typically available as an over the counter supplement or as an added ingredient in some toothpastes

DICALCIUM PHOSPHATE
Dicalcium phosphate is the calcium phosphate with the formula CaHPO4 and its dihydrate. The "di" prefix in the common name arises because the formation of the HPO42– anion involves the removal of two protons from phosphoric acid, H3PO4. It is also known as dibasic calcium phosphate or calcium monohydrogen phosphate. Dicalcium phosphate is used as a food additive, it is found in some toothpastes as a polishing agent and is a biomaterial.[1][2]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicalcium_phosphate

TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE
Tricalcium phosphate is a calcium salt of phosphoric acid

Tricalcium phosphate is a calcium salt found in many nutritional supplements. Many people wonder about the safety of tricalcium phosphate, including side effects and whether it causes cancer.

What are the health risks?

Taking tricalcium phosphate may have a range of risks.

Hypercalcemia

One health risk of tricalcium phosphate is taking too much and developing hypercalcemia. Most often, the symptoms of high calcium levels are mild, but emergencies do occur, although this is rare.

However, it is important to note that someone would have to take a significant amount of tricalcium phosphate or have certain medical conditions to develop hypercalcemia.

The Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine reported on the case of an 80-year-old man, who went to the emergency room showing signs of hypercalcemia, including:

• Constipation
• Loss Of Appetite
• Dry Mouth
• Confusion 

Most of his blood work was normal, but his total serum calcium numbers were higher than they should be at 14.4 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). A healthy range is approximately 8.6 to 10.0 mg/dL.

The 80-year old had a variety of diseases, including diabetes, hypothyroidism, and hepatitis C that may have contributed to his hypercalcemic emergency.

Kidney Stones
Taking tricalcium phosphate may also increase the risk of developing kidney stones. One report from the Oregon State University suggests that the risk for kidney stones is higher in women who take calcium supplements and multivitamin supplements, though the overall evidence is conflicting.

Cardiovascular Problems
Several studies have reported an increased risk for cardiovascular events in people who take calcium supplements. One report in the journal, Australian Prescriber finds calcium supplements may increase the risk for heart attack by about 25 percent and the chance for stroke by up to 20 percent in women.

Tricalcium phosphate is not a good option for people with kidney disease.

When a person has kidney disease, their kidneys are unable to remove phosphorus effectively.

Tricalcium Phosphate and Cancer Risks

Researchers suggest that diets high in inorganic phosphates, which are additives found mostly in processed foods, such as meats and cheese, stimulate the growth of small cell cancers.

One study from the American Thoracic Society that studied mouse models reports that diets high in these phosphates may accelerate the growth of lung cancer tumors and contribute to tumor development in people who have an increased risk for lung cancer.

Other studies have found a connection between inorganic phosphates and the development of a variety of cancer types.

One Swedish study reported in BMC Cancer measured serum levels of inorganic phosphate (Pi) of people aged 20 years or older to assess cancer risk. The Swedish researchers found increasing Pi levels was a higher cancer risk in men, while in women, low levels of Pi were associated with higher risk of certain cancers.

Individuals, especially those with risk factors for different types of cancers and kidney disease, should talk to their doctor before taking any calcium supplement, including tricalcium phosphate.

The safest and most effective way to increase calcium intake and maintain calcium levels is by eating calcium-rich foods. Excellent sources of calcium include:

• Tofu
•  Leafy Greens, Kale, and Spinach
• Soybeans
• Which are often added to plant milk

Calcium Acetate

Calcium acetate is a chemical compound which is a calcium salt of acetic acid. It has the formula Ca(C₂H₃O₂)₂. Its standard name is calcium acetate, while calcium ethanoate is the systematic name. An older name is acetate of lime. The anhydrous form is very hygroscopic; therefore the monohydrate is the common form. Wikipedia

 
Is calcium acetate harmful to humans?
Calcium acetate side effects.
 
High levels of calcium in your blood--nausea, vomiting, constipation, increased thirst or urination, muscle weakness, bone pain, confusion, lack of energy, or tired feeling.
 
What is another name for calcium acetate?
Calcium acetate is a calcium supplement used to control the level of phosphate in the blood for patients on dialysis due to severe kidney disease. Calcium acetate is available under the following different brand names: Eliphos, PhosLo, Phoslyra, and Calphron.
 
NOT GOOD!!!
Vinegar is a reagent in the manufacture of Calcium acetate, thus it is contaminated with products of fermentation which will have a negative impact on the system.
 
Vinegar, which is about 4% acetic acid, reacts with the calcium carbonate. As the shell dissolves, it creates water, calcium acetate, and carbon dioxide.

CAFFEINE – A Stimulating Drug

CAFFEINE is found in tea, coffee, chocolate, many soft drinks and some prescription and non-prescription drugs. Tea, coffee, chocolate, and caffeine-containing sodas stimulate the system by increasing the heart rate. The intellect is aroused and fatigue is temporarily forgotten. However, this short-lived stimulation proves only to work as nervous energy depletion of the body's vital force. After the stimulation subsides, fatigues, listlessness, and mental dullness follow.

HERE IS A PARTIAL LIST OF THE EFFECTS OF CAFFEINE:

** It has a mutagenic effect - could lead to birth defects.

** It increases incidence of bladder and stomach cancer, especially with the drinking of five or more cups of caffeine beverages per day.

** It stimulates stomach secretions, leading to ulcers.

** It is habit forming.

** It increases mental speed for one to three hours in such things as math and typing, then mental speed drops below normal. Motor coordination is decreased.

** It produces insomnia, headaches, and agitation.

** It raises blood pressure.

** It increases the heart rate and basal metabolism rate.

** It aggravates hypoglycemia and diabetes. Two or more cups of coffee elevate the blood sugar level.

** It increases blood coagulation – can lead to thrombosis (blood clots).

** It steps up production of urine.

** It increases the heart attack risk by upsetting the fatty acid glucose balance in the blood and raising cholesterol. The heart attack risk becomes greater with higher caffeinated beverage consumption.

*** IT AFFECTS EVERY SYSTEM IN THE BODY.

Decaffeinated coffee is not the answer to the chemical problems associated with coffee. Coffee contains caffeols which give the coffee flavor, but are irritating to the stomach and digestive tract.

Coffee Information

“The stimulating diet and drink of this day are not conducive to the best state of health. Tea, coffee, and tobacco are all stimulating, and contain poisons...” {CD 420.2}

HOW IT AFFECTS THE BODY

“Coffee is a hurtful indulgence. It temporarily excites the mind to unwonted action, but the aftereffect is exhaustion, prostration, paralysis of the mental, moral, and physical powers. The mind becomes enervated, and unless through determined effort the habit is overcome, the activity of the brain is permanently lessened.

All these nerve irritants are wearing away the life forces, and the restlessness caused by shattered nerves, the impatience, the mental feebleness...In some cases it is as difficult to break up the tea-and-coffee habit as it is for the inebriate to discontinue the use of liquor. The money expended for tea and coffee is worse than wasted. They do the user only harm, and that continually. Those who use tea, coffee, opium, and alcohol, may sometimes live to an old age, but this fact is no argument in favor of the use of these stimulants. What these persons might have accomplished, but failed to do because of their intemperate habits, the great day of God alone will reveal.”  {CD 421.6}

ILL EFFECTS OF DRINKING COFFEE

IT ENCOURAGES THE APPETITE FOR TOBACCO:

“By the use of tea and coffee an appetite is formed for tobacco, and this encourages the appetite for liquors.” {3T 563.3} 

PERSONS CONTINUING USE OF COFFEE WILL FEEL NEED OF DRUGS (Medicinal)

“Those who persist in the use of tea, coffee...will feel the need of drugs, but many might recover without one grain of medicine if they would obey the laws of health...”  {CH 261.2} 

DRINKING COFFEE AND TEA DANGERS:

“Through the intemperance begun at home, the digestive organs first become weakened, and soon ordinary food does not satisfy the appetite. Unhealthy conditions are established, and there is a craving for more stimulating food. Tea and coffee produce an immediate effect. Under the influence of these poisons the nervous system is excited; and in some cases, for the time being, the intellect seems to be invigorated, the imagination more vivid. Because these stimulants produce such agreeable results, many conclude that they really need them; but there is always a reaction...The suddenness of the relief obtained from tea and coffee is an evidence that what seems to be strength is only nervous excitement, {CG 403.2} 

• Brain Injured (CD 402)
• Digestive Organs Damaged (CH 463)
• Dizziness (Te 81)
• Dyspepsia (CH 111-112)
• Heart Action Increased (MH 326)
• Heart Palpitations (MH 326)
• Irritability (Te 81)

“In relation to TEA, COFFEE, tobacco, and alcoholic drinks, the only safe course is to touch not, taste not, handle not. The tendency of tea, coffee, and similar drinks is in the same direction as that of alcoholic liquor and tobacco, and in some cases the habit is as difficult to break as it is for the drunkard to give up intoxicants...” {MH 335.3}

HOW TO GAIN THE VICTORY OF QUITTING TEA, COFFEE, TOBACCO, AND ALCOHOL

“The tendency of tea, coffee, and similar drinks is in the same direction as that of alcoholic liquor and tobacco, and in some cases the habit is as difficult to break as it is for the drunkard to give up intoxicants.  Those who attempt to leave off these stimulants will for a time feel a loss and will suffer without them. But by persistence they will overcome the craving and cease to feel the lack. Nature may require a little time to recover from the abuse she has suffered; but give her a chance, and she will again rally and perform her work nobly and well.” MH 335.3}

NATURAL REMEDIES TO HELP REMOVE THE CAFFEINE FROM THE BODY

#1: STEAM BATH:

Sit in a tub that is filling up.  Use thermometer and when the temperature reaches 102 degrees, sit in this for 20 minutes.  Be sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after and keep a cold rag on the head at all times.  You may need a bowl of ice water on the side to dip the head rag in when it gets hot.  Rinse off in cool water.  Do not friction dry your body.  Pat dry, then lay down for about 30 minutes if possible. 

Diabetics and those with heart disease are blocked or hardened arteries should not do the Steam Bath

OR

A COLD SHEET WRAP (this is good for those who can't do the steam bath)

Dip a queen size sheet in a bucket of cool water, then wrap the body completely in this sheet while in the nude.  Then wrap with a blanket and lay down for 30 minutes.  This will draw toxins out of the body.

#2: WARM BATH:

Sit in a warm bath for 30-40 minutes, staying hydrated while in the tub, and keeping a cool rag on the forehead and back of the neck.

Cadmium

WHAT IS CADMIUM?

Cadmium is a silver-white metal that is found in the earth's crust. It is extracted during the production of metals such as copper, lead, and zinc. Cadmium is found in some foods and is emitted by using fossil fuels such as coal and oil, smoking cigarettes, and burning waste.

Cadmium is a poisonous metal and its use is somewhat limited for this reason. Like zinc, cadmium can be electroplated to other materials to protect them from corrosion. Cadmium easily absorbs neutrons and is used to make control rods for nuclear reactors. Cadmium is also used in rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries.

• 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

WHAT FOODS ARE HIGH IN CADMIUM?

Certain foods such as shellfish, kidney, liver, MUSHROOMS and root crops contain especially high levels of cadmium. 

• 1 Corinthians 10:31 – Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

WHAT DOES CADMIUM DO TO THE HUMAN BODY?

Breathing air with very high levels of cadmium is extremely dangerous and can cause death. Being exposed to lower levels of cadmium over a long period can cause damage to the kidneys, lungs, and bones.

• 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Cabbage Poultice

A simple CABBAGE POULTICE reduces inflammation in joints and increases local circulation, relieving lymphatic congestion. It also draws out infected matter and toxins from the body.

Cabbage leaves are good for pain and inflammation, especially in arthritic conditions, abscesses, boils, burns, insect bites, neuralgia, sciatica, muscle aches, pleurisy, liver attacks, intestinal pain, diarrhea, and dysentery.

It is also good for healing and helping drain infected wounds and sores, such as in varicose veins, skin eruptions, hemorrhoids, eczema, and even acne.

1. Take 1 or 2 washed and dried cabbage leaves, depending on the size of the area you want to cover. The GREENER the leaf is, the better.

2. Cut out the bottom part of the central rib.

3. Bruise the leaves with rolling pin gently until it is moist.

4. Warm the leaves by putting them on a cookie sheet in the oven at a temperature of 200° degrees for 1-2 minutes or until warm to touch.

5. Apply to the area. Cover with a plastic wrap first, then with an elastic bandage.

6. Leave the poultice on for 6-8 hours or overnight.

7. For more serious wounds, you may plunge cabbage leaves in boiling water or soak in olive oil for 1 hour to soften, to make it cling better, and to increase antiseptic effect.

8. You may use it as a compress by chopping the cabbage leaves well. Add Epsom salt (1/2 cup for every cup of chopped cabbage). Wrap in muslin, and apply to the painful area after warming it. This compress offers much relief for muscle aches, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, arthritis, pleurisy, and liver attacks. For migraines, apply to brow. For colds or asthma, apply to chest and throat.

9. When used for wounds, make sure to clean the wound before applying the poultice.

INTERNAL USES

Add cabbage to your soup and steamed vegetables to get these amazing benefits!

1. Diabetes – Cabbage contains antihyperglycemic properties, meaning that the vegetable has the ability to lower blood sugar and manage diabetes. These benefits can be obtained by eating a bit of boiled cabbage at every meal.

2. Heart Disease – Cabbage contains thocyanin, a water-soluble polyphenol that reduces inflammation and enhance capillary strength and permeability, and to inhibit platelet formation and enhance nitric oxide (NO) release. In doing so, cabbage actually prevents heart disease and heart attack.

For best results, it’s best to eat 2 T. cooked cabbage.

3. Digestive Issues – The vegetable contains high potassium, which balances your body’s fluids and its high vitamin C and anti-oxidant levels protect your cells from toxins. It also contains vitamins E, and K; sulphur; beta-carotene; potassium; magnesium; and calcium.

Consuming cooked cabbage can help heal constipation, stomach ulcers and diarrhea.

TOPICAL USES

Although it may feel a little silly at first, applying cabbage to your wounds will actually help them heal!

4. Ingrown Toenails – Cabbage is often used in natural remedies to remove pus from ingrown toenails and prevent infection. All you need to do is place several leaves around the toe and secure with in cling wrap and a cloth bandage. Cover with a sock and leave overnight to give it a chance to act. R

emove the leaves in the morning and repeat the process overnight.

It’s also a good idea to slightly shave the top of your toenail to make it more flat. This will encourages the side of your nail to curl upwards, drawing the nail out of your skin.

5. Relieves Pain – Red cabbage contains high levels of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. These work together to lower oxidative stress and prevent expression of several inflammatory factors. Applied to the skin, cabbage can actually promote wound healing.

Simply wash and dry your cabbage leaves, secure in place with a bandage and leave overnight. If possible, remove the compress in morning and make a new one to wear during the day.

6. Arthritis – Cabbage leaf has been used for centuries for swelling, ulcers, sprains, and strains. Even in our modern age, some Swiss hospitals wrap the joints of their arthritis patients in cabbage to reduce swelling and pain.
