The clock is running out on 2011, but it looks like there’s still time to squeeze in one last phony vitamin panic.

In this one, researchers claim high levels of vitamin D will boost your risk of serious heart problems — despite what their own study REALLY found: that LOW levels of the sunshine vitamin will up your odds of heart failure, high blood pressure, kidney failure, and diabetes.

Of course, they didn’t want to talk about any of that.

Instead, the presentation at a recent American Heart Association meeting focused on the most freakish conclusion of the entire study: Patients with the highest blood levels of vitamin D — 100 ng/ml or higher — had a bump in the risk of atrial fibrillation.

Why is it freakish? Because I’ve been called an extremist for recommending blood levels of HALF that — 50 ng/ml — and even people who live in the tropics and get constant sun exposure all day long generally hover at around 60 ng/ml.

In other words, these just aren’t optimal or even realistic levels of vitamin D3 — and I’d bet that very few of the 132,000 participants in the new study actually fell into this category.

We don’t know for sure, because the researchers didn’t actually break it down for us.

We also don’t know how many patients fell into the next-highest category, between 80 and 100 ng/ml, but I’d bet this was the next-smallest group — yet these patients actually had the LOWEST A-fib risk of anyone in the study.

That means we’re supposed to believe that 100 ng/ml will prevent the condition — but 101 ng/ml will cause it.

PUH-leaze!

Ignore the panic and take your vitamin D3. Not only are “high” levels safe, but studies have repeatedly found that the sunshine vitamin will boost everything from your cardiovascular health to your immune system.

Winter is here, the sun is low — and you need your D now more than ever.

The chemical balance in the oceans supports life in complex ways. Therefore, one cannot be surprised by scientific reports that many marine life forms and their environmental waters or habitants, such as coral reefs, produce substances that have potent and versatile biological actions in nature. Marine compounds of various types have been found to be antifungal, antibiotic, anticancer, antiviral, growth inhibiting, analgesic, cardio-stimulatory (or inhibitory) and antangiogenic in their actions.

To add to our appreciation of the health secrets that the oceans contain is the recognition that four fifths of all life on our planet (about one half million species) lives in water. Massive amounts of suspended organic matter are incorporated into the food chain of marine organisms. Furthermore, marine organisms, such as living corals or mussels, process or expose their life cycle to thousands of tons of water. In one estimate, a small colony of mussels (ten million) can process one square mile of sea water that is 25’deep. As “big fish eats little fish” or marine organisms are used in complex food chains, the permutations of transfer of active molecules become limitless. Humankind joins this complex harmony of planetary life when it harvests the offerings of the oceans.

Coral Calcium is a true gift and benefits us greatly as a natural form of minerals and other natural components that we so desperately need to achieve optimal health.  We are not destined for pain and discomfort as we age, we are just led to believe that this is normal.  It’s not! Learn More…

About 80% (four fifths) of the total animal life on the planet exists in the seas. Plant life is also abundant and seaweeds (especially kemp) are among the fastest growing most prolific plants on earth. The biomasses vary in density throughout the ocean. The deepest parts of the ocean supports life forms about which we know very little. The concept of “biomass” is important in oceanographic studies and it refers to the amount of living matter found per unit area of the sea. Underwater sea forests of kelp and coral reefs are rich biomasses that support a high concentration of living organisms. Coral reefs grow over thousands of years and mature into rich ecology where nutrients and elements are concentrated. If the oceans are considered a soup of life, the underwater forests, the coral reefs and the sea beds are the dumplings in the soup. These “dumplings” are huge “vitalistic” aggregations.

Whilst we are exploring the landmass of the earth, the oceans hold many secrets that are relatively inaccessible. This under- explored frontier of waters of the worlds surface has a volume of 42 million billion cubic ft or 286 million cubic miles. This calculates out to be 460,000,000,000 ounces of gold or over 100 times the gold held in the world’s vaults. Thus, the oceans are an enormous collection of metals, minerals, and chemical substances that sustain life. The seas contain many factors that are produced by its own living organisms.

An analysis of sea water shows variable results depending on the site of collection. However, it contains a striking array of organic compounds derived from plant and animal life. These compounds include organic acids, sterols, carotenoids, various free enzymes and variable amounts of macro and micronutrients (fats, carbohydrates, and proteins). Aggregations of life forms in the oceans, such as coral reefs, concentrate these complex compounds. It is easy to appreciate that the coral reefs are composed of, or exposed to, all nutrient classes known to man.

The sea rich in salt (sodium chloride) and every natural element known to man is present at one or other location. The contents of the sea are determined to a major degree by its residents, but oceans have many citizens who live in different geographical locations with distinct climates. Thus diverse ecology in the sea mirrors the diversity of life that is encountered on landmasses of the earth.

For more information on the details of coral calcium and how it can assist you in attaining a healthy life see a listing of my books on Coral Calcium, Vitamin D and the benefits of mineral and vitamin supplementation.

In brief we can learn from the experiences of the inhabitants of Okinawa, who have among the best health and longest lives in the world, which include ten times as many centenarians as area found in the United States.  They also have large numbers of robust individuals in their eighties and nineties.  Whilst, many factors may operate to create this desirable circumstance, I, like the Spanish explorers before me, believe a key to this circumstance is the use of coral calcium as a food supplement in this highly blessed community of people.

Some people may dismiss this phenomenon as a chance observation, there are new scientific and medical discoveries that give a credible, scientific basis for the use of coral calcium for health.  One key constituent of coral calcium is readily absorbable calcium and magnesium, but other factors within coral, including its highly balanced mineral content and the occurrence of microbes, may account for observed benefits.  Beyond these issues are speculations about other components of coral and a clear recognition that many of the minerals are present in a “chemical form” that is highly desirable for use by the body.

If you want the best in coral minerals, Bob’s Best Coral Calcium 2000 is the right one for you!

If you ask the media, the answer is: Sure, everyone knows that! You’ll get the same answer from the medical elite. But what does the hard data show?

A recent study from the annual report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers, published in the journal “Clinical Toxicology,” found no deaths from vitamin/mineral supplements. Once again, that is ZERO deaths.

A friend of mine collects data for both pharmaceutical-related deaths and natural supplement-related deaths. Several years ago, he found that there were about 100,000 deaths per year for pharmaceutical drugs and none for natural supplements.

To put this into perspective, over a 10-year period, pharmaceuticals kill 1 Million people — that is, more than all the Americans killed in World War I, Wold War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Gulf War — combined.

Despite this glaring disparity, the government and the medical elite think we need to outlaw over-the-counter, natural supplements because they are just too dangerous. For more information on the dangers of medical care by elites see the book “Death by Modern Medicine” by Carolyn Dean.

Study Shows Asthmatic Kids With Vitamin D Insufficiency Have Poorer Lung Function

March 3, 2010 (New Orleans) — Many children with asthma have low blood levels of vitamin D, and the insufficiency seems to place them at risk for more severe disease.

In a study of 99 kids with asthma, 47% had vitamin D insufficiency. Compared with children with normal levels of vitamin D levels, those with vitamin D insufficiency:

* Had poorer lung function
* Had higher levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE), an immune system protein the body makes in response to allergens that tells you the likelihood that you’re allergic
* Were more likely to need inhaled and oral steroid medications to reduce airway inflammation and mucus production
* Were more likely to need long-acting beta-agonist drugs that relax muscles in the lung’s airways, improving a patient’s ability to breathe freely and reducing asthma symptoms.

Further studies in the lab showed that vitamin D has an anti-inflammatory effect on cells and enhances the activity of inhaled steroids.

About 21 million Americans suffer from asthma, which is caused by inflammation and swelling of the airways. The inflammation, in turn, can cause excessive mucus production and narrowing of the airways, resulting in asthma symptoms such as shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing.

The findings were presented at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology annual meeting.

The study doesn’t prove cause and effect. And it’s not clear whether low vitamin D causes more severe asthma that requires treatment or whether more severe asthma lowers vitamin D levels, says study researcher Daniel A. Searing, MD, of National Jewish Health in Denver.

Also still unknown is whether vitamin D supplements would improve asthma control and lower the need for medication, he tells WebMD.

Still, a number of studies now suggest that low vitamin D levels are associated with allergies and asthma, says James Gern, MD, vice chair of the committee that chose which studies to highlight at the meeting and professor of pediatrics at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.

If a person has vitamin D insufficiency, “we need to correct it anyway. So it will be interesting to see if the supplements help improve asthma symptoms,” he tells WebMD. Gern was not involved with the work.

In the study, vitamin D insufficiency was defined as levels below 30 nanograms per milliliter of blood.

In his latest study, Gregory A. Plotnikoff, MD, of the University of Minnesota Medical School found a much higher incidence of vitamin D deficiency in the patients with unexplained muscle and skeletal pain than expected, regardless of their ages.

All of the African Americans, East Africans, Hispanics, and Native Americans who participated in the study were vitamin D deficient, as were all of the patients under the age of 30.

The researcher says it was a big surprise that the worst vitamin D deficiencies occurred in young people — especially women of childbearing age. The findings are reported in the December issue of the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings.

Vitamin D deficiency is believed to be greater than 85% of the population in North America!  People who are deficient in Vitamin D are subject to decreased health and wellness.

In Bob’s book “Barefoot on Vitamin-D” he tells a story! Barefoot stands for Vitamin D as being a unique and valuable bio nutrient for health as well as, in his opinion, the best vitamin supplement available.  Vitamin D is a “Powerhouse of Health” giving nutrient supplementation that combines to support all body chemistry.

Excess Acid is KILLING YOU!

Your body is an amazing thing.  At birth you have the perfect pH balance and everything is working in metabolic harmony.

The miracle of life, cells creating new cells, causes your cells to burn nutrients for fuel. The result is highly toxic acid waste!

Over the years, this acid waste can build up and cause your tissues to become acidic. Your balance has changed and you are now the perfect breeding ground for one or more of the thousands of illness caused by over acidity.

Over 70 years ago Nobel Prize Winning Scientist Dr. Linus Pauling upset the medical community when he proclaimed “You can trace EVERY sickness to a mineral deficiency.”

What this means is that any health issue that you are experiencing now could be improved or eliminated by bringing your body back to pH balance. Joint pain and stiffness, digestive problems, memory problems, mood swings and age related issues may now be a thing of your past.

Energy and stamina from your youth, stronger bones and mental alertness can now be yours. Better yet, your body may be able to start repairing the damage done from years of acid overload.

You will likely feel 10 or 20 years younger… The science behind the discovery is remarkable but incredibly simple.

But don’t be fooled!

Most coral calcium products today are made from inexpensive fossilized coral that is dug out of the ground. It has virtually no magnesium and most of the trace metals and marine microbes have been washed out by thousands of years of rain.

The authentic products by Bob Barefoot only use the true high grade, marine coral calcium called SMP 44 or Sango Mineral Powder 44.

The Japanese government commissioned studies to determine why the people of Okinawa live ten years longer than mainland Japan and why they are virtually disease free while having youthful bodies.

All three studies concluded that it was due to the calcium in the coral water, “coral calcium”. Remember that marine coral calcium has been consumed for hundreds of years by hundreds of millions of people.

It has the perfect biological 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium, and it is loaded with trace minerals and marine microbes to help digestion.

Bob’s Best Coral Calcium only uses quality nutrients including the Highest Grade of Coral Calcium from Okinawa Japan.
