Barefoot tells us that his research on the topic (specifically Vitamin D and Coral Calcium) over the past several decades is finally coming into the limelight, and he couldn’t be more enthusiastic.  With outlets such as The New York Times, CNN, and US Government’s National Institute of Health publishing research, performing extensive studies, and airing news segments on the topic, he’s relieved that his potentially life-saving research is finally getting attention.

“I first realized the critical role of these two supplements after I linked the current vitamin D deficiency in our country to the campaign launched against sun exposure by dermatologists in the 80’s.  When they decided that sunshine was the enemy, they put many people’s lives at risk by limiting their skin’s ability to produce vitamin D by covering up, staying inside, and lathering on sun block.  This, in turn, lowered our body’s calcium levels, as calcium is a massively important nutrient that we all need to stay alive and healthy” says Barefoot.

Bob then began researching cultures that have seemingly disease-free lives and consistently reach 100 years old.  He found the residents of Okinawa, Japan to fit this bill in addition to several other cultures who have one thing in common: they live in areas where their drinking water is extremely rich in calcium and trace minerals.  This, in-turn, lowers the acidity in body which lowers the risk for virtually all degenerative diseases.  Having studied the benefits of biological calcium from Coral Calcium for over 40 years, Bob is regarded as an authority on the topic of the calcium and vitamin D relationship.

Barefoot concludes “There is a growing movement that wants to do more than just use chemicals and drugs to block the symptoms of disease.  Study after study has shown us those cultures such as the Okinawans, Hunzas of Pakistan, Bamas in China, the Tibetans, and a long list of others all live well past 100 years virtually disease-free.  And the common denominator among these cultures is their high intake of calcium as well as vitamin D either through sun exposure or natural diets.  It stands to reason that we should take note from the longevity of these people and try to emulate their habits.”

But for you who do not have any experience with the product, I will explain a little more.

Coral Calcium is a mineral supplement from coral that is harvested off the Islands of Okinawa, Japan.  Coral Calcium is the name for the bony structure of coral that has been replaced with new live coral.  The dead remains of the coral is washed off the reef and collects in shallow pockets far from the actual reef.

The above description is for the benefit of people who have heard that marine coral calcium somehow damages the live, living reef.  It does not!  The Japanese Govt regulates the harvesting of the raw material.

The other form of coral calcium that is used by most coral calcium suppliers is called “Fossilized” coral calcium.  This form is dug up from the islands and is called “Dirt” Coral by Bob Barefoot.

There is nothing wrong with this form except it is lacking in natural magnesium and void of most of the trace minerals and marine microbes.  It is just a lower and less quality form of coral calcium.

Bobs recommends that you use the high quality SMP 44 Marine Coral Calcium.

There are now more Americans suffering from an overly acidic pH than ever before due to the lack of minerals in today’s foods. Coral Calcium has been shown to be an effective solution for this condition.

Navarre, Florida (IPRWIRE) Monday, April 6th, 2009 –The U.S. Department of Agriculture has now announced that over 38 million Americans are suffering from acid overload. Bob Barefoot, author of The Disease Conspiracy states that the best way to relieve this condition is by supplementing with high quality coral calcium from the Okinawa, Japan.

Acid overload is when a person’s body pH becomes overly acidic which can cause serious side effects. Minerals and nutrients may be taken from the bones and muscles to be distributed to other areas of the body. This can lead to a weak immune system, lack of energy, and other problems. Dr. Linus Pauling, two time Nobel Prize winner, has stated that most health problems can be directly traced to a mineral deficiency.

Most Americans these days get at best 8 minerals from the foods we eat, reports Barefoot. This can be linked to a mineral deficiency in the soil, not to mention overly processed foods. Bob explains that the body needs the entire range of over 72 minerals in order to remain in optimal health.

The solution to acid overload is to restore oxygen and end the buildup of acid in the body. As the body’s pH changes from acid to alkaline, it will experience renewed energy, stamina, and flexibility. Barefoot reports that the quickest way to achieve an alkaline body is by taking coral calcium supplements. It is all natural, easy to use, and can effectively restore the body’s chemistry.
