Hi, I have had a hair test where there was an extremely high level of calcium, it is not being
absorbed by my body. I notice this also through my teeth etc. I understand 'Electrosensitvies' have an issue absorbing calcium and wondered what others on the group do? Do you still take an extra supplement? I also have some extreme anxiety and this calcium non-absorbtion could be contributing towards it. I would appreciate some help on this one as it is concerning me. Thank you, Alison |
Though I have not had my hair analyzed to confirm, I can tell by
looking at my teeth that I do not metabolize calcium properly. I also have difficulties metabolism iron too apparently, because I have a grey film on my teeth which can only be removed by a dentist, only to reappear a day after a dental cleaning. I have tried adding a calcium and magnesium supplement, but those only increases my ES symptoms. I even went so far as to purchase coral calium powder to make sure it was not an additive in the supplement that was causing my symptoms and I experienced the most severe anxiety, sweating, head and bone pain from this. I evidently cannot metabolize calcium properly. In fact, in the late 90's my teeth were so brittle I began to saw my teeth down in my sleep from grinding them and needed to have a plate made for my lower teeth. I had been a tooth-grinder for almost 40 years - no problem before this. I'm guessing they cranked an area cell phone tower up, and my teeth bit the dust.

Carol Does that mean that you are Hypocalceimic ? I bet that you have Tinitus, I have severe type and as for teeth grinding I have broken 2 back teeth lately, I also have very brittle soft and crickled nails ?

Yes, I had a horrible reaction to coral calcium. I think this stuff can be contaminated with heavy metals, so you may have been reacting to the contamination, not the calcium. If you really want a good test of your tolerance for calcium, you should try Calcium Lactate, which requires the least amount of "work" by the body to be bioavailable, and doesn't require a certain pH in the intestine. I've tried Calcium Lactate by Standard Process, and don't have a bad reaction to this. You can purchase 90 tablets of this for only $6: http://pacifichealth.com/cgi-bin/shop.pl/page=spac_a-c.html My impression is that this supplement provides a bit of relief from ES, which is the opposite of my reaction to coral caclium.

Calcium is available in different forms.
The best way is calcium citrate, because in that form, the body absorbs best.

Yes, I too have problems with coral calcium and some other types of calcium, including calcium citrate, which is supposed to be very easily absorbed. The calciums I absorb the best are calcium lactate or calcium AEP. My nutritionist told me also that coral calcium is only useful for certain problems and it was not good for my situation because it added to lymphatic overload.

Hmm,
from what I understand, most don't absorb calcium especially after a certain age. We get brittle bones because of this, I think. An orthomolecular practioner told me different people's body chemistry would dictate what kind of calcium is optimally absorbed by them; carbonated, citronated etc. Your individual body chemistry or blood type might make it a particularily specific suppliment you need to take. Did the people who took the hair sample offer any advice? tanya --- In [hidden email], "ajwelectro" <ajwelectro@...> wrote: > > Hi, I have had a hair test where there was an extremely high level of calcium, it is not being > absorbed by my body.

Also, not to make you paranoid but check hyperthyroidism and possibly
other conditions which affect/relate to calcium, copper and zinc absorbtion if you haven't looked into it already. tanya --- In [hidden email], Evie <evie15422@...> wrote: > > Yes, I too have problems with coral calcium and some other types of calcium, including calcium citrate, which is supposed to be very easily absorbed.

I'll have to try that form of calcium. I thought coral calcium would
be the best type originally, thinking this had no added ingredients. I do believe my thyroid was overactive at one point - I was emaciated - but I had thyroid tests done recently, and it is actually slightly underactive now. I weigh about 105 (I'm 5' 3.5"), and my normal healthy weight is about 95 lbs. When I got really sick though, my weight dropped to 88 lbs - that's when I believe my thyroid was really working overtime.

Digestive enzymes might be helpful for that. When I first got my ES, my weight dropped from 175 lbs to 135 lbs, but there were a lot of "stomach flus" in there and also a mistaken thought that fasting might help... :-) Marc |
