It is important to recognize that two broad, but distinct types of coral calcium, are used as health giving supplements by the Japanese and many people throughout the world.

The first type is fossilized coral calcium that has been deposited on the land mass, or washed up on the beaches. The second type is taken directly from the sea bed. The sea-bed coral calcium is the coral that has dropped from the reef or is processed by reef inhabitants. This type of “coral sand” has been washed to the ocean floor by wave actions. Marine coral calcium is closer in composition to the living forms of corals, because the marine microbes are still active and many minerals and organic elements are retained, in comparison to fossilized, land-based coral.

These are important differences in composition between fossilized (land-based) and marine (sea-bed) coral calcium. Marine coral calcium contains more magnesium, and the balance of calcium (24%) to magnesium (12%) content of this second type of marine coral is close to 2:1. This 2 to 1 ratio is the ideal ratio for calcium and magnesium intake in the human diet.

My research has led me to believe strongly that the natural, magnesium enriched, marine coral calcium is to be strongly preferred as a health giving supplement over land based (fossilized coral), which contains less than 1% magnesium. This superiority of the marine coral is due to its retained, ideal, ionic balance of calcium and magnesium in a 2:1 ratio, and the fact that for the fossilized type, a host of other nutrients were also washed out during weathering processes.

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…

6 Important Health Tips by Bob Barefoot

(Click the Video Player Below to Start)

Video interview provided as a courtesy by ActorsReporter.com

Medical researcher and expert Bob Barefoot shares Health Tips for Actors – from the cancer preventative perspective. Here’s a list that we can use on a daily basis:

1) Calcium (coral calcium to be exact) and Vitamin D are two of the most important tools to put into your tool box. We can go down the list from there…

2) Get some Sun – one of the most important things you can do is get your Vitamin D the natural way…

African Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans should be especially vigilant to ensure that they are getting a greater exposure to the sun than others. It just takes longer to get the proper amount of absorption due to the melanin in the skin.

3) Eat properly – for example here is a short list of Anticancer Foods that are grouped in different categories under:

Proteins you have fish, shellfish (selenium, Vitamin D, and long chain omega-3) especially salmon, mackerel, whole anchovies, sardines, eel, cod liver, and occasionally white albacore tuna (canned in water)

Vegatable proteins – lentils, peas, beans, chickpeas, mung beans.

Grains and Carbohydrates you have multigrain or sourdough bread, whole grain rice (or basmatic or Thai rice), quinoa bulgur, oatmeal, muesli, All-Bran, sweet potatoes, or yams.

Fats you have olive oil, flaxseed oil, cod liver oil (Vitamin D), canola oil.

Vegetables you have cabbages, brussel sprouts, bok choy, Chinese cabbage, beta-carotene-rich vegetables – carrots, sweet potatoes, yams, squash, pumpkins, beets, tomatoes, spinach, and mushrooms (Shitake, maitake, enoki, portobello.

Herbs and Spices you have tumeric, curry, marjoram, oregano, parsley and celery cinnamon and ginger.

Probiotics – organic yogurt and kefir, sauerkraut and kimchee.

Prebiotics – garlic, onions, tomatoes, asparagus, bananas and wheat and Seaweed – Nori kombu, wakame, arame.

Fruits – berries of all shapes and sizes and cherries and citrus fruit and persimmons and apricots Dried fruits – Walnuts and hazelnuts pecans and almonds.

Desserts – Dark Chocolate – more than 70% cocoa And for drinks Red wine, filtered water, all green teas and gingerroot infusion

4) Get some exercise and

5) Get some rest

6) Get help as soon as you need it….don’t hesitate see your doctor and clear your mind.

No healer would doubt the essential nature of calcium, which is the most abundant mineral in the human body, for health, especially related to its role in signaling biochemical processes in cells, controlling muscle contractions, initiating DNA synthesis, and building bones. However, the general level of calcium intake in the Western diet is much lower in many people than is required for optimal health.

Furthermore, there are many other ancillary actions of calcium, such as critical control of the pH (acidity or alkalinity) of the body fluids. This is demonstrated by the fact that body fluids become more acidic with aging when calcium is lacking, in the diet. This results in the expulsion of oxygen which can lead to numerous diseases, such as cancer, according to two time Nobel Prize winner Otto Warburg.

I have referred to calcium as the “King of the Bioelements,” where deficiency of this element is invariably associated with a whole host of diseases. Calcium, however, does not act alone in the body. It has to be present in abundance with other minerals and cofactors (especially magnesium and vitamin D), in order that it can play its pivotal role in health. The secrets of coral calcium for health become unwrapped as we begin to explore the role of coral minerals in supporting the chemistry of life.

It is easy for a chemist (like myself) to see the body as a universe of interacting chemicals. Whilst this perception provides an incomplete picture of life, it is a good start to understanding the importance of minerals as a vital component of a diet for health, as each mineral must serve at least one specific biological function. With the exception of aluminum and silicon, the human body is made up of the same minerals, including gold, in differing amounts as the Earth. Mineral balance (especially calcium) in the body is an absolute prerequisite for health and longevity, but I trust this important advice will not be taken in isolation of instructions on a healthy lifestyle.

I recommend Coral Calcium and Vitamin D3 as a way to supply your body with the essential minerals and nutrients that we need for optimal health and longevity.

Bobs Best Coral Calcium 2000 and Bobs Best Vitamin D3 are the perfect solution. Just take one of each with every meal.  You will experience a great benefit.

In Search of Health and Youth

I share everyone’s quest for health and longevity. Whilst humankind has been denied a simple “fountain of youth,” modern science is pointing us towards the possibility of using nutrition to help secure a long and healthy life. In this new millennium, the limitations of allopathic (conventional) medicine have become increasingly apparent.

Coral Calcium and Health

The proverbial quest for the “fountain of youth” did not begin with the Spanish explorer, Ponce de Leon, but it is more than a coincidence that coral calcium and health was introduced as a important treatment agent in the oldest pharmacy in Europe that is located in Spain. This pharmacy is now a museum in Penaranda de Duero in Northern Spain and it was established in 1685. The introduction of ground coral as one of the first pharmaceuticals in Spain may have occurred from earlier occupation of the Iberian Peninsula by the Moors (Arabs).  In this Medieval Pharmacy ground, stony coral is prominently displayed as a treatment. The dispensing container of coral bears several inscriptions that describe its beneficial effects on the heart and brain.

The use of coral calcium and health in early forms of allopathic (conventional) medicine was based on little more than empiric (trial and error) use with evidence of benefit. When the Spanish found the inhabitants of Okinawa to be unusually healthy and long living, they recognized that the ingestion of coral sand, later to be renamed coral calcium, was the prime ingredient. In contemporary medicine, we still operate by trial and error, but we are convinced that we can better measure outcomes using modern scientific principles of research. Whilst I do not doubt the ability of modern science to identify the safety and effectiveness of modern medicines, the precedence of the successful use of coral calcium and health speaks for itself.

Coral Calcium and Health

It is foolish to propose that any single agent will promote health and longevity in a consistent and simple manner. After all, aging and disease development are highly complex biological events with a multitude of contributory factors. However, it should be noted that coral cannot be considered a “single agent,” as it is composed of thousands of different skeletal organisms that leached nutrients out of the ocean for millions of years, thereby containing all of the mineral nutrients contained in the human body. Setting these technical thoughts aside, humankind has been on a perpetual search for one potion, lotion or elixir that will guarantee eternal youth. Whilst this miracle eludes discovery, some of the secrets of health and longevity may be much more simple than hitherto supposed.

Bob Barefoot Speaking on Coral Calcium and Health

Barefoot says that Vitamin D3 is a critical nutrient that the vast majority of us are not getting enough of.  He reports that after the medical industry (led mainly by Dermatologists) initiated a nationwide scare some 30-40 years ago, warning us to avoid the sun, we saw a major increase in Vitamin D deficiency.  Most of us know that Vitamin D helps build strong, healthy bones.  But Barefoot tells us that’s only a very small part of the story; explaining its role for cell function, brain development, and overall good health and disease prevention.

Recent studies conducted by top medical institutes as well as the US Government show that Vitamin D3 can actually help ward off a host of diseases.  In a recent article published on the US Government’s National Center for Biotechnology Information website states: “There is enough evidence that severe deficiency of vitamin D may lead to skeletal and nonskeletal disease. Both children and adolescents seem to be in high risk of low vitamin D status especially during winter. Having a diet higher in calcium and vitamin D as well as oral supplementation with vitamin D may be necessary for children and adolescents not only in the absence of sun exposure in winter time but also in preventing other diseases such as diabetes type 1, cancer and cardiovascular disease.”

Bob points out that when our skin is exposed to natural sunlight, the penetrating UVB rays generate huge amounts of vitamin D; as much as 50,000 international units (IU) in as little as 30 minutes.  But most of us do not get enough sunlight or exposure on a regular basis, to guarantee we’re producing enough Vitamin D3.  He also states that the vitamin D in our foods is usually Vitamin D2, which is not useable by our bodies.  So that leaves supplements to pick up the slack.

Bob Barefoot has been selling “coral calcium”, calcium derived from the coral reefs in Okinawa, Japan, and promoting its health benefits as well as researching the link between calcium and vitamin D for many years.  In the recent infomercial, where he’s interviewed by Kim Estes, he offer’s viewers bottles of “Barefoot Free Vitamin D3” with 90 tablets each containing 2000 IU of Vitamin D3.  The vitamin D is free and his callers pay only a very small shipping and handling charge.

Barefoot routed all the calls to his Navarre, Florida call center which is managed by BarefootAndHealthy.com.  Owner Brad Riley reported that the response to the infomercial was overwhelming and tells us:  “With the recent press and media concerning the importance of Vitamin D and calcium, I feel that we’re clearly in a position to help America become healthy again, and then help the world!”

Watch the Infomercial

The need for Vitamin D3 as a supplement to our diet is clear.  Now Bob is offering a One Month Supply of Vitamin D3 for a small Shipping and Processing charge of $5.95 per bottle with a maximum of 3 bottles per household per month.

The Schedule for the Launch of the Infomercial is below.  If you live in one of the regions below, please make sure you watch his newest work.  If not, then please go to the front of the website at http://www.barefootandhealthy.com and watch the infomercial online.  You can also order the Free Vitamin D along with his other supplements right from our site.
