After doing some research and talking wiht the chemist at one of the cleanest water departments in the US and here is the STORY... Your water... First there is an average of 3% medicine in the water that cannot be filtered out.. This being morphine, birth control, other hard drugs both experimental and everyday perscriptions are unable to be removed. As for the calcium is also in the water... I asked the technician soooo what about the calcium? Oh, is low an within the limits and I said what limit... By the day, the month? When you look at the bottom of the faucet you may see calcium, hard, white like crystal. Some of you may have seen it.
Anyways after drinking millions and millions of gallons for Sixty years or less it dosen't matter. You have stones. The organ wasn't designed to deal with so much calcium over the years. Sure for a day, a week or maybe a year but the truth is where do we get them- its our water. Just go out and buy a good water filter syster for drinking for about $100. Should do it. Yes they have $25. Too.

I did mention I have endeavoured to cut out/down dairy products for a few months now it's true. This was my goal after eliminating sugar and anything white in my diet, which I succeeded in doing to a great extent. "No sugar " was never going to be a problem, as I have never had a sweet tooth anyway! Conversely, here in N.Z, we are supposed to be the "Land of Milk and Honey" and people are saturated with dairy products from infancy. Not so fantastic in my humble opinion. They scare us by saying our bones will crumble if we don't "consume", yet our women suffer from bad levels of Osteoporosis. Strange in a country with high levels of dietary calcium! We should concentrate on trying to restore the Magnesium / Calcium balance which will be severely out of whack for the vast majority. This is a long-term therapy regime - I have seldom had any success with quick fixes and the Docs often cannot help. Your husband sounds in a bad way so my suggestions may be a little late in coming at his advanced stage. But secondly, the ACV regime as outlined on this site could help with the calcium problem and there is a herb called Chanca Piedra (sp?) or "Stone Breaker" which purports to be able to rapidly break down calcium deposits in the body where they are not required I.e. arteries and muscles etc. I stress I have no personal knowledge of its effectiveness or otherwise but please investigate this one further. We do need SOME calcium obviously and the occasional coffee with milk would surely serve to lift the spirits. It does mine! I make myself walk two miles to our nearest café and two miles back home- I feel I have earned my (single shot) coffee by then! Nano bacteria and micro plasma are possibly implicated in attacking joints and Ted of Thailand talks about this on this Site, so I shall not go into that here. This is quite new stuff but fascinating for those people with joint problems. My next target for elimination might have to be yeast but I am going to find that one very difficult. I am working on the assumption that the yeast is fuelling the "Bad guys"! I may go after the yeast rather than the gluten but they often go together. Life is complicated ! I hope for the best for you both.

For the last 3 weeks he's been drinking 5 mix (garlic, lemon, ginger, ACV, honey) and supplementing with mag. as his heart valve is calcified and of course dr wants surgery.... He is scared and believes doctors--but also believes me and doesn't want surgery (although he would have it if dr says he needs it). Anyway I am the one fighting here. I have just read wonders about vit. K2 which clears calcifications! Could it be? there is no separate section here for vit. K but it is mentioned sometimes and that's what I read now!

To help rid the body of excess Calcium, Sodium Thiosulfate seems to hold good promise.
Maybe I am stating the obvious, but almost everyone knows how important Vit-D is for Calcium absorption. I take 2,000 iu daily.

Sleep apnea would be great but unfortunately I think it is his heart. his shortness of breath doesn't come only when he is sleeping. Also he is very, very weak now. if it was 100% last year it is less than 1% now...

But his snacks were very salty too. And things he added to salad- lox, feta cheese, blue cheese
Anyway, he was taking 10 drugs! And on 12/17 had valve replacement surgery anyway... Will not take supplements as he finds them useless-not true but imo).
Of course calcified valve was only symptom.
Calcium is probably deposited in other places too, like arteries (he still needs oxygen sometimes or his joints (his hip hurts quite often)
I do not see the way to check magnesium in his cells--just assume deficiency (they found mag. def. in hospital but in his blood and gave him iv--better after it but it was before surgery--stress depletes magnesium...
I am giving him foods with magnesium and vit. k but it is too little as in rehab the nurse thinks their food is better for him.

Now quite by accident on my head CAT scan they found small calcium deposits in basal cell ganglia-no symptoms.
My dog and 2 cats died within 3-5 years after moving in here, first hind legs got really weak then all muscles. Water? Radon? Lyme? Something else? Or just coincidence?

I started using Topricin Pain Relief Cream yesterday and have been taking a 1000 mg of Magnesium the past two days for a calcium deposit in my right shoulder. I also plan to try the chanca piedra as well in tea or liquid form.
This recent attack of pain was probably due to a change in my ketogenic diet where I ate a crapton of refined enriched carbs this past week, upped my consumption of diary with homemade lattes, encountered a lot of stress, etc. The stress had to raise my coritsol levels I am sure. I go for 5-6 months and then wham, I have an attack of pain in the left shoulder.
Thank you to everyone that has posted their helpful suggestions. For the first time now, I feel like I can have some control over healing myself!
