calcium

I am currently at home, because I got tested positive for COVID thrice lately and I was curious if there is a connection between COVID-19 severity and calcium metabolism (PTH, vitamin D, serum calcium, phosphate) and it turns out that there is something! "In a large group of SARS patients in...

I am interested in adding calcium to warm baths as a possible way of increasing my calcium intake to better my Ca to Phosphorus ratio without ingesting more supplements. Thinking of adding this calcium chloride dihydrate flakes: View...

"When there is adequate calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium in the diet, PTH is kept to a minimum. When PTH is kept low, cells increase their formation of the uncoupling proteins, that cause mitochondria to use energy at a higher rate, and this is associated with decreased activity of the fatty...

I can't consume milk or make egg shell power and buy it. What form of calcium is the most absorbable? I want to up my calcium to phosphate ration and my only source of calcium is sardines which gives me about 300mcg i think. Calcium Carbonate? Calcium hydroxiapatite? Which one, would appreciate...

Hello! I recently took a Food Intolerance test and I discovered I can't tolerate Goat's Milk, Cow's Milk, Sheep's Milk & Casein. The doctor told me to give my body a break from milk for three months so it can rebuild producing the lactase enzymes and see how I feel from there. In the meantime...

Hey, recently I took a test for vit D & PTH to check if I need supplements. Well, D came juste above the lower range, PTH came at the very low range, What I thought about this data was : that's good, PTH is low so it's good and this D is in normal range and seems enough to down the PTH so...

Looking for some advice on how I can get adequate calcium from sources that are non dairy, not supplements, and not nuts/seeds or greens. I know I have severely limited the options there to say the least, but all of those things make me constipated. I'm lactose intolerant so I typically drink a...

A few months ago I posted about a study discussing the role of lipid peroxidation in the COVID-19 pathology. While that study did not make any statements about effects of diet on the disease course/outcome, it did suggest lipid peroxidation blockers such as vitamin E would be therapeutic. Now...

An older study, but some great information in there. Not only does it call attention to the fallacy of progesterone being nothing more than a "sex" hormone, but it also warns about the fallacy of equating the synthetic progestins with bioidentical progesterone. At least, when it comes to...

I don't know when this started, but it's bothering me a lot. I have these pretty pronounced vertical ridge-like structures in my fingernails. It was pretty hard to photograph, but I tried my best at it and editing it a bit to make them more easily visible: It may not look like much, but they...

Anybody have a good source for a personal Ultrasound Therapy Device? I have a minor bone bruise that I want to give one a shot on.

I don't know if this has always been the case, but recently I've noticed that Ray tends to boil down his health advice to the following three pillars: a high ratio of calcium to phosphate adequate vitamin D levels (around 50 ng/ml) correcting thyroid function The suggestion being that if you...

I'm not a big fan of milk. It gives me excess mucus. However I do love yogurt and cheese. I also eat a lot of eggs every week, and I hear that egg shells are a good source of calcium. Could yogurt, cheese, and eggshells be used as a good source of calcium over milk? Or any other good sources...

While searching for the ideal calcium supplement I came across calcium alpha-ketoglutarate which I think has not been discussed on this forum yet and looks highly interesting. There is a study showing that calcium alpha-ketoglutarate extends lifespan and compresses morbidity in aging mice...

According to dental and skeletal remains, hunter gatherers were taller and healthier than early farmers. I'm thinking the most common foods (depending on location) if you were a hunter gatherer would be rabbit, fish, crustaceans, tubers, nuts, berries, leaves (many of which have oxalates)...

Peat has written many times in his articles about the long-distance communication among cells in a living organism. When a single cell is injured is sends a signal, which if strong enough, can traverse the entire organism. This mechanism is known to occur in animals yet medical science still...
