New information contained in The Calcium LIE reveals just how dangerously wrong the conventional wisdom of the medical profession is on a wide range of life-and-death issues.

For example, bones are made of minerals, not calcium. Osteoporosis is a loss of minerals from the bones, not just calcium. Calcium hardens concrete!

Find out more about how excess calcium in the body's cells negatively impacts your health.

  Obesity

Conventional wisdom says: Limiting caloric intake and getting frequent exercise is all that is required for effective weight loss.

Now The Calcium Lie reveals:
Excess calcium in the body is an important contributing factor which leads to obesity. In fact, obese individuals are "starving" for other essential minerals and nutrients. Even exercising frequently and eating less will not keep weight off permanently. It always comes back unless you change the underlying metabolism. Find out how in The Calcium LIE...continue reading > >


  Type 2 Diabetes

Conventional wisdom says: Insulin resistance is a hereditary disease that is incurable.

Now The Calcium Lie reveals:
Type 2 diabetes is reversible if the body's balance of essential minerals is restored, and if the disease is caught early enough. It is caused by nutritional mineral deficiencies and imbalances, poor protein digestion, as well as improper eating habits, and nutritionally deficient foods, and is not a hereditary disease...continue reading > >


  Heart Disease

Conventional wisdom says: Following popular nutritional advice - including making certain that your diet is low in saturated fats and cholesterol, and rich in calcium - is the best way to prevent heart disease.

Now The Calcium Lie reveals:
Excess calcium in the body and an imbalance of other essential minerals leads to calcification and a hardening of the arteries (calcific plaque), increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease and hypertension. This condition often leads doctors to prescribe statins and other drugs which very often have dangerous side effects...continue reading > >


  Osteoporosis

Conventional wisdom says: Our bones are made of calcium, and adding calcium to our diet through supplements, plenty of milk, and foods to which calcium has been added is the best way to prevent osteoporosis.

Now The Calcium Lie reveals:
Bones are made of at least 12 different minerals, not just calcium - and excess calcium and a lack of other essential minerals can actually lead to an increased risk of fractures. Calcium hardens concrete, not bones. Excess calcium in our bodies has huge metabolic effects leading to a whole host of medical problems...continue reading > >


  Type 2 Hypothyroidism

Conventional wisdom says: Hypothyroidism is not a widespread problem, according to blood tests - the only reliable way to measure hypothyroidism.

Now The Calcium Lie reveals:
An overwhelming majority of people (especially women) exhibit signs of a new kind of hypothyroidism called Type 2 hypothyroidism (resistance to the body's naturally produced thyroid hormone), which can be diagnosed by measuring basal body temperature and having a hair tissue mineral analysis performed. These are much more accurate indicators than blood tests, which have been skewed to under report the prevalence of this condition...continue reading > >


  GERD (Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease)

Conventional wisdom says: Heartburn is a minor problem caused by excess acid production in a person's stomach, and is easily dealt with by digesting a Tums lozenge or a similar candy-like product. When problem becomes really painful, we "graduate" to proton pump inhibitors like Prilosec or Nexium to curtail excess acid production.

Now The Calcium Lie reveals:
In fact, heartburn is caused when we can't properly digest our food because of a lack of sufficient stomach acid, and most "anti-heartburn" medications actually worsen the problem by suppressing the production of needed stomach acid...continue reading > >


  Pregnancy

Conventional wisdom says: When it comes to minerals, all an expectant mother needs to be concerned about during pregnancy is to take plenty of calcium (through calcium supplements and foods to which calcium has been added) and iron. Then both she and her baby will have all the important minerals they need for a healthy delivery.

Now The Calcium Lie reveals:
An expectant mother needs to be certain to get an adequate supply of all essential minerals, not just calcium and iron, and in the proper balance, because her baby naturally takes 10% of her body's mineral supply. An oversupply of calcium, however, can have dangerous consequences...continue reading > >


  Gestational Diabetes

Conventional wisdom says: A blood glucose reading is sufficient to determine whether a pregnant woman has gestational diabetes, and the only other test she may need is a glucose tolerance test.

Now The Calcium Lie reveals:
A glucose resistance test is crucial in detecting gestational diabetes, and adding essential minerals and 100% whole food vitamins and supplements to the patient's diet when gestational diabetes is detected can quickly bring blood sugar levels back to normal during the course of the pregnancy...continue reading > >


  Birth Defects

Conventional wisdom says: One of the most effective ways for expecting mothers to prevent birth defects is to take prescription vitamin supplements, especially calcium for the baby's bone density.

Now The Calcium Lie reveals:
Expectant mothers can prevent birth defects most effectively by making certain they have sufficient levels of all essential minerals in their bodies, in the right balance, and by taking only vitamins that come from whole foods...continue reading > >


  Vitamins

Conventional wisdom says: A wide variety of vitamin supplements are commercially available, and most of them offer our bodies the vitamins and minerals we need for proper nutrition.

Now The Calcium Lie reveals:
Most so-called "vitamins" that are commercially available are synthetically produced drugs, and virtually none of them offer the important "synergistic" benefits to be found in true vitamins that come from whole foods. Some commercially sold vitamin supplements actually strip the body of needed vitamins, such as Vitamin C, that we obtain from natural sources...continue reading > >


  And a word about concrete...

When construction workers need to harden concrete, they add calcium. Imagine what it hardens in your body! Learn more about the many dangers of excess calcium in the human body by reading The Calcium Lie.

 The Calcium LIE - Reviews


Dr. Thompson and Kathleen Barnes have broken new ground in dispelling The Calcium Lie and other medical myths. It's about time! I congratulate them for challenging these deeply held beliefs that have no basis in science.

Sherry Torkos, R.Ph.
Author of The Canadian Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine

The Calcium Lie is a call to action to everyone who wants to become involved in and take responsibility for his own health.

Dr. David Watts, D.C., Ph.D
CEO of Trace Elements, Inc.



"This is a revolutionary book that asks all of us - doctors and patients alike - to re-think our assumptions about health and nutrition. It should dispel for once and for all the myth that calcium supplements will give us strong bones. It's a real eye opener!".

There is nothing mysterious or speculative about The Calcium Lie. It's based on the basic biochemistry that every doctor studies in medical school, yet never seems to apply. Sadly, most doctors have forgotten that mineral co-factors are involved in every biochemical reaction in our bodies. Mineral balance or imbalance is so crucial that having the correct balance can be a matter of life or death. Everyone should read this excellent book and for every doctor it's a "must read."
