I was in the grocery store last Saturday and ran into a
former co-worker (Barb).
We spent a few minutes getting caught up, then Barb told
me her doctor said she's losing bone mass and is on her way
to osteoporosis.
The doctor wants her to take Fosamax, but she's scared.
Before I could say a word, she continued, "I just don't
understand this. I've loved milk ever since I was a baby
and drink it all the time! How could my bones be getting
brittle?"
She was shocked at what I said next.
"The milk is your problem. And your diet overall."
Huh?
I've known Barb for over 25 years, so I know what her
dietary habits have been. And I gently explained this to
her:
Calcium is the number one mineral needed by the body (by
quantity), and it is alkaline. But the calcium must be in
a usable form--otherwise, not only is it worthless, but
it's harmful (more on that below).
The usable form of calcium is called ionized calcium.
The calcium found naturally in fruits and vegetables is
ionized, but the diets that most people have (including
Barb) don't include a lot of fresh produce. Instead their
diets are mainly acidic, horribly combined meals that load
the stomach, body and bloodstream up with acid.
And if you don't get adequate ionized calcium from your
foods, your body has to get it from somewhere, so it takes
the calcium from your bones in order to neutralize the acid
in your body. Biology 101.
Many people, like my friend Barb, skip the fruits and
vegetables, thinking they'll get calcium from dairy
products.
True, dairy products DO have calcium. But it's not usable
by the body. You can thank pasteurization for that.
Pasteurization, while it does have certain benefits, kills
and destroys everything of worth in milk and dairy
products, including ionized calcium. Science 101.
Plus dairy products are by their very nature extremely
acid forming to the body.
So not only do you not get the benefit of the calcium in
dairy products, but they make you MORE acidic--therefore
your body must use up even MORE calcium from your bones to
neutralize the acid.
Talk about a Catch 22.
Is this making sense? I hope so, because this is important.
Is it any wonder that my friend Barb, the milk lover, is
being prescribed a powerful drug for osteoporosis with
powerfully negative side effects at just 56?
And if you're someone who relies on calcium supplements,
unless you change the acidic nature of your diet, you're
spending LOTS of money and getting absolutely
nothing...actually, you're harming yourself.
Here's what I mean.
If your body is acidic, it can't possibly use the calcium
you take in, no matter how many capsules you swallow. An
acidic body cannot effectively absorb vitamins and minerals-
-period. Not from food. And not from vitamin supplements.
The excess calcium that can't be used by the body is not
just harmlessly eliminated.
Oh, no--it's MUCH worse.
Instead it's picked up by the bloodstream and deposited in
the blood vessels, skin, eyes, joints and organs.
Unused calcium bonds with fat and cholesterol in the blood
vessels and forms atherosclerosis (hardening of the
arteries).
Calcium build-up in the skin leads to wrinkles (another
thing my friend Barb has a lot of).
Excess calcium in the eyes makes cataracts.
In the joints it crystalizes and forms arthritis.
And in the kidneys--OUCH! Kidney stones. Pain like
giving birth for hours and hours.
Are you starting to think a little differently about where
you get your calcium and what you're eating? I hope so.
Now, if you're in the same boat as my friend Barb and have
some doctor pushing Fosamax at you, know this:
The side effects of Fosamax can include:
1- Osteonecrosis--loss of blood flow to the jaw bone that
causes incredible pain and a "dead jaw."
2- Heart arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation). This in turn
can cause palpitations, fainting, fatigue, or congestive
heart failure. They can also lead to embolic strokes.
3- Unusual thigh bone fractures
4- Painful eye inflammations, and
5- Cancer of the esophagus
No wonder my friend Barb is scared.
Who wouldn't be scared?
If you want to make sure you get the calcium your body
needs and prevent osteoporosis, you just need to do ONE
thing--use Great Taste No Pain.
- http://www.greattastenopain.com/great.asp
The information in the Great Taste No Pain manuals will
help you achieve and maintain an alkaline pH, so your body
can use the vitamins and minerals in your foods and your
supplements and will stop leaching calcium from your bones.
Plus it has lots of scrumptious fruit and vegetable
recipes that will make getting your ionized calcium a true
joy. Best food you've ever tasted, frankly.
Don't let big pharma, well-meaning but narrow-minded
doctors and the dairy industry lead you one step further to
osteoporosis.
Fosamax, drinking milk and gulping supplements are NOT the
answers. If they were, osteoporosis would be decreasing--
not on the rise like it is.
Do what REALLY works. Make your pH alkaline. Get your
ionized calcium naturally.
PS: Mery's stomach is at peace now, after 1 day of Great
Taste No Pain:

Dear Sherry:
I want to thank you for your Great Taste No Pain program.
I was suffering so much and thank God I found you. Since
the first day I tried your program I noticed right away the
difference. I didn't have gas any more (I didn't think
that was possible) and my stomach is in peace now.
