Calcium question

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.

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:

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.

My 2 cents,
Diane

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?

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.

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.

Of course, you can also lose a lot of weight simply by not
being able to properly digest/assimilate your food. 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... :-)
