I. INTRODUCTION

Calcium and magnesium are among the most deficient elements in today’s population, especially adults. Causes for this are:

- Diets of refined foods

- Overall lower mineral levels in modern foods.

- Improper eating habits that interfere with nutrition,

- Digestive difficulties in a majority of adults and many children today,

- Consuming soda pop or soy products. These actually bind and cause the removal of calcium, magnesium and other minerals from the intestines. This reduces available mineral levels even further.

- Nutritional interference by the alien group some call the thugs, crud, rogues or satans. It may sound amazing, but they put worms and other creatures inside people that can steal or tie up calcium and other nutrients. They also keep people fearful, which damages digestion. They also tell some people they may not eat healthy foods that contain calcium and other nutrients.

For this reason, everyone on the development program receives a supplement of calcium and magnesium.

Paramin is a calcium/magnesium supplement that we formerly recommended. However, in April 2026 it was changed and we can no longer recommend it. It does not test as well, perhaps because it is in a capsule made of hypromellose.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Adults need about 750 to 900 mg of supplemental calcium daily. Children definitely need supplements as well, but less depending upon their size.

There are a number of decent supplements. One we like is a Calcium/Magnesium by Country Life. We prefer the one that contains phosphorus. About 3 are needed each day.

Another good product is Bone Up by Jarrow. Adults needs to take 6 a day of these. We don't like algae calcium or coral calcium.

II. MORE ABOUT CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM

CALCIUM

Few foods today contain a lot of calcium. Among the best calcium foods are sesame tahini, almond butter, cooked carrots, carrot juice, a few other vegetables, and some dairy products. Most people do not eat nearly enough cooked vegetables.

However, pasteurized and homogenized dairy products may not supply calcium because the processing alters it. Raw dairy products are better, but not as easy to find.

Raw dairy was a staple in America for 200 years, especially for babies and children. More recently, large dairies pushed for laws to outlaw it because certified raw dairy products require healthier dairy cows.

Pasteurization allows inferior milk to be “cleaned up”, so it can be sold. With this method, farmers don’t have to work as hard to keep the cows healthy and the milk clean. Certain large dairy interest prefer things this way, so they had the laws passed, putting their competition, the higher quality dairy farmers, out of business. It is time to change this law. For more details, read Calcium and The Calcium Shell.

MAGNESIUM

Magnesium is deficient in most people. Newer strains of crops have less, and many people live on refined grains that have had most of their magnesium stripped away. White bread, white rice and white sugar have all had a large amount of magnesium stripped from them.

Cooked, not raw vegetables are another good source of magnesium. However, most people do not eat nearly enough of them. For more details, read Magnesium.

III. USES FOR CALCIUM/MAGNESIUM SUPPLEMENTS

FAST OXIDATION

Fast oxidizers eliminate and thus lose excessive calcium and magnesium in the urine as part of the fight or flight response.

Supplemental calcium and magnesium help replenish calcium and magnesium and help reduce sympathetic nervous system activity in fast oxidizers.

They also help sympathetic dominance, or the tendency to overuse the sympathetic nervous system.

SLOW OXIDATION

Calcium and magnesium also help those with a slow oxidation rate. When the hair tissue calcium level is high relative to sodium and potassium, one loses calcium into the tissues. It precipitates into the tissues because low sodium and potassium levels cause calcium to come out of solution in the blood.

Sodium and potassium are required to solubilize or maintain calcium in a soluble or ionized form in the blood. When sodium and potassium are deficient due to weak adrenal and/or thyroid activity, some calcium drops out of solution and precipitates into the tissues including the hair.

As calcium leaves the blood and precipitates into the tissues, calcium may be withdrawn from the bones to replace the calcium lost from the blood. If this continues for years, one develops osteoporosis.

Calcium and magnesium also help maintain the bones, help reduce anxiety and irritability, improve sleep, and relax the muscles and nerves.

ALKALINITY

A calcium/magnesium supplement also helps balance the pH of the body. Calcium and magnesium are extremely alkaline-forming minerals. They buffer acids and help convert lactic acid to calcium lactate.

This is needed most when the body is in a more acidic condition. However, today most bodies are in this condition.

REST AND SLEEP

Calcium/magnesium supplements help promote sleep and rest. One can take more at supper, bedtime or in the middle of the night if one awakens to help one rest.

More may also be taken at any time of the day to assist with feelings of anxiety, nervousness, tachycardia, premenstrual syndrome, muscle cramps or irritability. It is safe and can be most effective for these purposes.

FOUR LOWS PATTERN

The greatest amount of calcium/mgnesium is recommended for those with a four low electrolyte pattern. Dr. Paul Eck discovered that these individuals require extra to “put the adrenals to bed”.

Note that too much during the day can cause sleepiness in some cases. In that case, we give more of it in the noon and evening doses to make up for giving less in the morning to reduce tiredness feelings. For much more information about this pattern, click on Four Lows.

SYNERGISTS

In order for any calcium/magnesium product to work well, it must be given with adequate vitamin D. also, adequate digestion and stomach acidity is useful to help chelate calcium in the stomach to assist its absorption.
