Much has been said and written about the significance of calcium for our bodies. Calcium is one of the most important minerals in the human body, and the most plentiful in it. Without calcium, neither our bones, our teeth, nor the greater number of our body cells could exist. Hence the need to eat plenty of foods containing it. What is more, calcium plays an important part in our body’s resistance to infectious diseases, especially diseases affecting the respiratory organs. Children who lack calcium are prone to infectious diseases, quickly develop swollen glands and are unable to ward off primary infections. When the body is deficient in calcium there is a constant struggle to fight sickness. Nature provides us with a good comparative example. Meadows that are short of lime always have a quantity of moss growing in them. If, however, you give them a lime dressing, you neutralise the acidity of the soil and the moss disappears. Parasitic plants thrive in calcium-deficient soil. From this we can draw a parallel to what goes on in the human body. Where there is a calcium deficiency all sorts of diseases, especially the infectious kinds, will thrive. Of course, this fact has been known for a long time and various calcium preparations are on the market. But all those phosphoric, carbonic and lactic acid combinations of calcium have actually failed to serve their purpose. Calcium deficiency continues to be a problem.
