Sad But True

A good, honest, Internet friend of mine is not only sold on the concept and product, she, claims to be making money from uniformed money-hungry work at home enthusiasts that have not done, or even attempted, to research products they sell, for the companies they represent.

It reminds me of stories I read about "snake oil" salesman of the 19th century. Now its the "pills and potions" scam of the 21st Century. One of the most controversial is corral calcium. This cure-all is used to treat everything from athletic aches and pains to old age. Could this be a 21st Century placebo? Users actually claim it works.

What do professionals say about coral Calcium?

Alert! Coral Calcium Supplements Scam
healthcastle.com/coralcalcium-scam.shtml

"Coral calcium" is a dietary supplement said to be derived from "remnants of living coral that have fallen from coral reefs, as a result of wave action or other natural processes." It is also said to be mined from the old ocean beds at the base of the coral reefs in Okinawa, Japan [1:120]. Simply put, "coral remnants" are limestone, which coral organisms originally manufacture as a protective shell. Since coral reefs are protected by law, "coral calcium" is made by grinding up limestone that no longer contains live organisms." Stephen Barrett, M.D.

"The "discoverer" of coral calcium Dr Robert Barefoot claimed that the reasons Okinawans from Japan live longer was due to the fact that they have been drinking water rich in coral reef substances surrounding Okinawa. In addition, Dr Barefoot also suggested that coral calcium can "neutralize" the toxic acidity of our bodies as coral calcium is alkaline base. According to the coral calcium infomercial, taking coral calcium can cure up to 200 human diseases including heart disease, cancer, diabetes etc.

However, there is no evidence that calcium can cure any diseases. There is also no evidence that alkalinizing our bodies can stop cancer or reverse any ailments. In addition, coral reef is protected by international laws and hence it is likely that these coral calcium supplements came from fossilized coral beds i.e. industrial waste.

If you are concerned with your heart health, you may want to look at Omega 3 fatty acids and fish oils and vegetables instead of coral calcium. If you are concerned with cancer risk, you may want to look at your antioxidants and vegetables intake instead of coral calcium. If you wish to take calcium supplements to prevent osteoporosis, take the good old calcium carbonate or calcium citrate."

Claims, Benefits: Not only the best source of calcium for your bones, but also cure or treatment for everything from cancer and Alzheimers to diabetes, and lupus.

Bottom Line: There is no evidence that coral calcium cures or treats any disease, or that it is better than a basic, inexpensive calcium carbonate pill.

How to Sell a 5 Supplement for $1

Debunking the wild claims made for supplements is an ongoing battle. The latest cure-all is coral calcium, promoted widely in health-food stores and on the Internet. Its probably the most expensive calcium pill in history.

The Evidence About Okinawa Coral Calcium Supplements okinawaprogram.com/coral_calcium/coral-calcium.html

"Research from recent calcium studies has shown that too much calcium may not be helpful for preventing fractures associated with osteoporosis and may in fact be linked to increased odds of developing prostate cancer in men . . . . For a good summary see The Harvard Health Letter, which recently warned: "If you are looking for consistency in health advice, don't pay too much attention to the studies of calcium intake and cancer."

Most of the health claims being made about coral calcium from Okinawa are based on the fact that the Okinawans are among the world's longest lived people and supposedly drink water containing coral calcium. Although Okinawa may have the world's highest concentration of centenarians, as well as extremely low mortality rates from diseases common in the West such as coronary heart disease, breast and prostate cancers, research shows that it has very little to do with their drinking water, as we explain in detail in our book "The Okinawa Program". Although drinking hard water (high mineral content that includes calcium, magnesium and other minerals) gives the Okinawans a boost in their calcium intakes, they still fall far below the calcium intakes of most Western countries."

I could go on about the overstated claims and high priced coral calcium. But I won't.

Those involved in selling their coral calcium supplements will continue doing so. Those experiencing the placebo effect of this overrated, over priced supplement will continue to shell out their hard earned money to these "pills and potions" peddlers.

What have I accomplished? Peace of mind. I will not sell the product.
