X-Message-Number: 19808 Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2002 07:06:41 -0700 From: James Swayze <> Subject: Can this be true? "The Calcium Factor" by Dr. Robert Barefoot Barefoot claims that most disease can be cured with calcium, the right kind of course--that conveniently he sells, and two hours a day of sunshine and plenty of water. His reasoning is that high acidity makes a good environment for unhealthy cells and cancer. A high PH, he claims, allows the body's mechanisms to fight disease and rebuild diseased cells--even Parkinsons. Wild claims to be sure but he claims science backs him up. Some quotes: "[Calcium is] The common trigger [that] precipitates biological events as diverse as the contraction of a muscle and the secretion of a hormone."--The Calcium Signal, Scientific American, November 1987 "Calcium Deficiency is the universal property of all cancer cells."--Calcium in Biological Systems (Volume 1, 1985, CRD Press Inc.) "The early work of Otto Warburg, some 60 years ago (Cause and prevention of cancer; Biochem Zetis, 152: 514-520, 1924), showed clearly that cancer was associated with anaerobic (deficiency of oxygen)conditions, resulting in fermentation and a drop in the pH of the cell.(Low pH Hyperthermia Cancer Therapy, Cancer Chemotherapy Pharmacology 4; 137-145, 1980). Moreover, the production of mutation receptors cannot occur with the pH of the cell in the healthy, calcium buffered 7.4 to 6.6 range." "Several years ago, Congressional document Number 23476 stated " there is not enough minerals in the soil to support health for our bodies." "Dr. Linus Pauling who won the Nobel Prize twice said ":... every disease is directly linked to a mineral deficiency. 2/3's of our intake daily must be minerals." http://www.life-solutions.net/ Any opinions?
