Eileen/Karen,
I guess I'll requalify my statements from before.
Coral Calcium is a gimmick. Sure, you may get some calcium which is good for you (though in its in organic state no one really knows any long term effects on the body). Calcium is good for bones, it can help alkalize your body (consequently helping out the liver and possibly helping you lose weight as well as provide a less kind environment for cancer), and will help with other things, but you can get much better calcium from other forms. That is all I'll say.
Some of the best ways to get it...broccoli, brussell sprouts, spinach...just a couple. The difference in absorption between Calcium carbonate and calcium citrate is almost inconsequential. You want to have magnesium and Vitamin D with your calcium as both help with absorption. Your need for calcium will go WAY down the more alkaline your diet is as well (get rid of sodas, too much meat, too much sugar). I've read in a couple of places that the highest rates of Osteoporosis are directly proportional to the highest rates of dairy consumption in the world as well. They may or may not be related, but that is interesting as all you ever hear from the Dairy industry is that it is GOOD for osteoporosis...things that make you go hmmm.
Hope that helps a little.

I believe that each individual needs to find the right balance of vitamins and alternative medicines that will work with their unique body chemistry. We all know that no two people are exactly alike. It is like a science test in determining what is wrong in the body and finding the right solutions.

So, it is hard to determine if fibromyalgia is indeed what I have. Sometimes it gets a little overwhelming trying to decipher and sort through all the material that is available now.

It all started with the Bob Barefoot guy, and the stuff he said was about as hokey and made up as anything I'd ever seen. I once saw a quote of his on how the Okinawans (where the "Coral Calcium" came from) had an average of 250,000 mg of calcium a day! Are you kidding me? They'd have kidney stones in a week. So, I kind of lost respect for most of the Coral Calcium stuff out there. I know of a couple that are pretty good though, if you'd like to check any out.
