Dear Patty, Dr. Carey Reams taught that calcium deposits occured because of an excess of one kind of calcium (alkaline or acid) caused by a deficiency of the other. Alkalinizing calciums are calcium carbonate (oyster shell and bone meal - but oyster shell is very hard to assimilate), calcium hydroxide (excellant, but sometimes hard to find), and others more difficult to obtain. Calcium lactate is the easiest, cheapest source of acidifying calcium (but test your pH frequently, lactate is very powerful). Sometimes recovery can be obtained merely by taking large amounts of neutral pH calciums (calcium orotate, aspartate, citrate and gluconate), and this should be done anyway in addition to the calciums you take to balance your pH. Try to find some pH paper or strips which measure in .2 increments (6.2, 6.4, 6.6, etc.) rather than .5 increments (6.0, 6.5, 7.0, etc.). The goal, according to Dr. Reams, was to get both urine and saliva pH to 6.4, using calciums of the opposite pH of what the urine and saliva tested (if you have an acid pH, consume alkalinizing calcium). I realize this is in disagreement with both the medical viewpoint and much of the holistic one. I've been testing people for over 15 years using Dr. Reams' method, and have found his ideas very accurate. Also, the full list of colloidal trace minerals, ingested on a regular basis at a significant quantity helps the body to assimilate and dissolve calcium deposits throughout the body. Though there are many companies selling "colloidal minerals" out there, and many (though not all) sell high quality products, I ended up with and am very satisfied with the products from New Vision International < www.nviworld.com > , at least for the trace minerals. For a good source of different kinds of calciums, try Daily Manufacturing 800-868-0700 Feel free to email me direct with questions and comments (friendly).
