George, in the case of the "coral calcium" all I can think is baloney. It has been brought up on PIEN in the past few years that anyone who is looking for a cure or any magic solutions should look carefully at who is making the claim, what are their credentials and what do they personally have to gain from touting some product? In the case of coral, I know it supposedly is from Okinawa and claims it is 100% marine grade pure. I don't know what that is supposed to imply that somehow coral is exempt from heavy metals as calcium from oyster shell can contain? I am suspicious of any claim that can not be substantiated by proof or by unbiased scientific study. I wonder why they are allowed to harvest coral when I was under the impression that it is protected by international law? To make the claim that they cure any illness that isnt caused by lack of calcium is clutching at straws. As the website states: "This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Please consult your doctor for any serious condition." I look at this company's claims as pure hype intended to make a lot of money at the expense of those who need hope. Save your money and buy a common calcium tablet! Audrey The bed-- I know nothing concerning its value or help.
