The island of Okinawa has
Japan's highest proportion of people over the age of 100.
Why do they live so long?
Scientists have suggested that a major factor responsible
for their good health may be due to the fact that they drink water that has
flowed through the island's fossilized coral, which is a rich source of
calcium and trace minerals.
By now, we all know the basic benefits of calcium. We've
had it drummed into our heads by the Dairy Council of America! Calcium helps
give us strong teeth, bones, hair and nails.
But in fact, calcium is needed by every cell in our
bodies! Next to water and air, the most common substance in your body
is calcium.

Trick of the
Week
MEAT & DAIRY
Two weeks ago we talked about organic vs. commercial produce.
Today I want to discuss meat and dairy products.
Produce is pretty straightforward. Meat and dairy aren't
quite so simple.
When it comes to meat and dairy, you really have to do your
homework. Talk to your local butcher. They are asked these types of questions
every day. They know the ins and outs of what's organic, what's natural and what's
NOT!
Often times you can get reasonably priced meat that isn't organic,
but it hasn't received any hormones or antibiotics for a certain number of years
before slaughter. Then you have to ask about the feed. Were the cows grass fed
or grain fed? Were the chickens free range? Was the feed organic or was it sprayed with pesticides?
Sometimes local farms or small butcher shops will have organic
meat without the "stamp," meaning no hormones, no antibiotics, grass fed, but
they didn't want to jump through all the hoops and bureaucracy for the
"certified organic" stamp.
Some of the big commercial brands have even stopped using
hormones and antibiotics and it says so right on the package.
So take a day, shop around, read packages, talk to butchers.
It will pay off. You can find what I call "clean" food without paying
ridiculous prices.
Now we need to talk dairy. I haven't found "clean" milk
without the stamp. But you can get affordable milk and cream products at
the big superchains like Wal-Mart, Sam's Club and CostCo.
When it comes to cheese, if you can't afford organic, the
non-cow cheeses are your safest bet. Goat and sheep milk aren't nearly as
commercialized yet and are much "cleaner" than cow's milk.

Calcium is one of the most important minerals for maintaining
overall health. Unfortunately almost every person is deficient in this
vital nutrient.
To make matters worse, many of the items we consume regularly,
like soft drinks and coffee, block calcium absorption.
When your body is low in calcium, it affects everything
else. Bringing your calcium up to healthy levels, dramatically improves health,
including:
- Stronger bones & teeth
- Healthier hair and nails
- Helps prevent osteoporosis
- Keeps your muscles, nerves and blood working properly
- Dramatically speeds healing
- Increases weight loss
- Relieves PMS symptoms
- Helps prevent the 200 other diseases linked to calcium
deficiencies
In addition to the benefits of calcium, in general, I want
to discuss 4 benefits of coral calcium, specifically.
1) Coral Calcium Contains 70+ Trace Minerals
Calcium needs to work with at least eight trace minerals
in order to help your body. We believe it makes much more sense to take coral
calcium, which already contains these trace minerals, than to try to get those
trace minerals separately from diet or another supplement.
2) Increased Absorption of Coral Calcium
Unfortunately most synthetic calcium supplements do not manage
to reach the cells in your body where they can be efficiently utilized.
When minerals are digested and absorbed, one mineral can be
antagonistic to the action of another, making it difficult to achieve the correct
mineral balance.
Fortunately, the coral has already successfully completed this
job for you. Therefore coral calcium delivers the calcium and other minerals to
your body in the optimum ratio for absorbability.
A Japanese study published in 1999 compared the levels of
calcium in two groups of people, one taking coral calcium and the other a
standard calcium supplement. Blood tests taken four hours after consumption
showed that the calcium levels in the coral calcium group were up to twice
the level of those taking ordinary calcium.
3) Coral Calcium Helps Weight Loss
We would love to give you the news that one of the benefits
of coral calcium is that you will slim down automatically, without any effort.
However, there is no such thing as a 'magic bullet' for weight loss.
But, recent studies by the U.S. National Institutes of Health
showed that those who were overweight tended to eat smaller amounts of calcium.
Whereas those who lost a lot of weight, ate the most calcium.
So if you're trying to lose weight, consuming more calcium
may help with your weight loss. The NIH still has more studies to conduct,
but the initial results are promising.
4) Coral Calcium Improves Your Internal Acid/Alkaline
Balance
When you're a child, your body naturally maintains a perfect
pH balance. But age coupled with a poor diet, a reliance on highly processed
foods that are low in trace minerals, inadequate water intake, medication,
stress and exposure to pollutants can cause severe pH imbalances. A highly
acidic environment is the breeding ground for every kind of disease.
Many scientists believe that acidic body fluids lead to less
oxygen in your cells, and that less oxygen can cause disease and accelerated
aging.
"Dr. Morter discovered one of the greatest breakthroughs
for health assessment in the last 100 years. . . Dr. Morter's discovery should
have won him a Nobel Prize. Dr. Morter discovered the powerful truth that when
your body pH is acidic, disease such as cancer, diabetes, and MS thrive. He also
discovered that when a body's pH is alkaline, diseases such as cancer CANNOT exist!
Therefore, one of the most powerful and simplest ways to test your condition of
health and/or propensity for disease is to check your body's pH."

Natural Cures They Don't
Want You To Know About
Coral calcium contains high levels of alkaline minerals which
help to promote a more alkaline state. This means your body has more oxygen in
its body fluids to help prevent certain diseases and the ravages of accelerated
aging.
And because this is so important, this week we are throwing in a
free pH Test Kit with every order of coral calcium, for our newsletter subscribers
