Johns Hopkins Study: Calcium Supplements May Clog Arteries, Damage Heart

After 10 years of medical tests on more than 6,000 people in a federally funded heart disease study, researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine and elsewhere have concluded that taking calcium supplements may raise the risk of plaque buildup in arteries and heart damage, although a diet high in calcium-rich foods appears be protective.

In their report, published Oct. 10 in the Journal of the American Heart Association, the researchers say the results add to growing scientific concerns about the potential harms of calcium supplements, and they urge a consultation with a knowledgeable physician before using them.

An estimated 43 percent of American adult men and women take a supplement that includes calcium, according the National Institutes of Health.

According to Erin Michos, M.D., associate director of preventive cardiology at Johns Hopkins, “When it comes to using vitamin and mineral supplements, particularly calcium supplements being taken for bone health, many Americans think that more is always better. But our study adds to the body of evidence that excess calcium in the form of supplements may harm the heart and vascular system.”

The researchers examined more than 6,000 adults enrolled in a long-term research project, the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA). The participants, all between the ages of 45 and 84, were free of any Coronary Artery Calcification (CAC) — a risk factor for hardened arteries, or atherosclerosis. Ten years later the participants with higher levels of daily calcium intake were less likely to develop atherosclerosis. But when the researchers looked at people who obtained most of their calcium from supplements as opposed to diet, they found the exact opposite effect.

Taking total calcium intake and other factors into account, the researchers found daily calcium supplementation was associated with a 22 percent increased risk of developing CAC.

This discrepancy may arise from how different types of calcium are absorbed into the body.

Research elsewhere have shown that calcium supplements — particularly in older people — don’t make it to the skeleton or get completely excreted in the urine, so they must be accumulating in the body’s soft tissues.

“There is clearly something different in how the body uses and responds to supplements versus intake through diet that makes it riskier. It could be that supplements contain calcium salts, or it could be from taking a large dose all at once that the body is unable to process.”

“Based on this evidence, we can tell our patients that there doesn’t seem to be any harm in eating a heart-healthy diet that includes calcium-rich foods, and it may even be beneficial for the heart,” concluded Michos. “But patients should really discuss any plan to take calcium supplements with their doctor to sort out a proper dosage or whether they even need them.”

Nutritional Support for People with High Blood Pressure

If you have high blood pressure, magnesium is one of the most important nutrients you can take.

Magnesium must be combined with other minerals to be most effective in helping support healthy blood pressure levels. It is essential for cells to maintain proper balances of other minerals such as potassium, sodium, and calcium. When cells are deficient in magnesium, this balance is disrupted.

Rebuilding a Healthy Mouth - Addressing Loose Teeth

The first step to a healthy mouth is to handle any irritation, bleeding and puffy gums that comes from bacteria that has been creating this problem (Full info in Periodontal Disease).

Once the mouth is not infected, and gums calmed down and not puffy, you need to rebuild your mouth's health.

In order to rebuild the bone & ligaments that create loose teeth you need to build healthy bones and ligaments. The body needs minerals.

A Neuropathy Success - Most of the Symptoms are Gone

Getting along with pain in life caused by neuropathy can be quite challenging to say the least, especially when one has to live with the pain on a daily basis.

Fortunately, if it is given the correct nutrients this can be relieved as the body will build healthy nerve.  It needs the right nutrients to do so. These nutrients help address the cause of the neuropathy condition and give real relief.

Here's what some of our customers have experienced as a result of taking the Nerve Support Formula.

******

"I became a diabetic type II about 8 years ago. My neuropathy started after I pinched a sciatic nerve about four years ago. I tried everything under the sun to relieve the pain. I was at a loss for what I could do. Then I saw a doctor who explained to me how to treat diabetes through diet and exercise and what vitamins I should take along with the appropriate exercise to control diabetes.

"The doctor also recommended that I start learning how to cope with complications of diabetes. At first he put me on alpha-lipoic acid which relieved the neuropathy and left me without pain for about 3 months. The relief ended and the pain returned with a vengeance.

"Upon researching neuropathy online, I found the Nerve Support Formula.

"Within the first three months, I experienced 80 percent less pain. On my days off from work, I have no pain. The days that I work now are bearable. As long as I follow my diet and reduce or stay away from sugar and carb intake, I don't experience pain. I am able to walk further and exercise regularly each week.

"My own Doctor was shocked that I actually went back to normal for my toe sensitivity test in 9 of my 10 toes. The tenth toe showed remarkable improvement. My doctor now recommends the Nerve Support Formula. 

From John Tickner in the United States

"I did have a neuropathy problem several years ago. I used your Nerve Support Formula, and my pain went away. I haven't had a problem with my feet in months."

From Denis Nuccio in Illinois

*****

"One day in April 2008, I was standing in my living room and all of a sudden I had this excruciating pain in my right outer thigh. It was like someone was shocking me there with high voltage. Then I experienced numbness and tingling. The pain was so bad I had to sit down.

"I went through two months of trying to find what the problem was by getting various treatment for it, but to no avail, nothing relieved the pain. I finally went to an orthopedic doctor and he diagnosed me with nerve damage. He prescribed medication and I did not like the side effects so started doing some research and found the Nerve Support Formula.

"...... most of the symptoms are gone and I no longer have to take the prescribed medication. I highly recommend Nerve Support Formula for good results and no side effects."

From Emma Jeffers in Virginia
