Calcium to Phosphorous Ratio


Dr. Joel Wallach


From the Book
"Rare Earths Forbidden Cures" p.299

Up to 75% of consumed Ca is lost in the feces and 2% in the urine and sweat (this can double or triple in athletes). Bone spurs, heal spurs, and calcium deposits, always develope at the sites of insertions of tendons and ligaments during a raging osteoporosis. Bone spurs, heel spurs, and calcium deposits can be reversed and eliminated by supplementing with significant amounts of chelated and colloidal calcium sources. Not only are our soils and foods deficient in calcium, but the American diet is rich in P (phosphorous) which is found in just about everthing we eat (NPK fertilizer and food additives).

Ideally, the Ca:P ratio in our diet should be 2:1. However, this ratio is not possible (you would have to eat 25 lbs of broccoli every time you ate a 16 oz steak!!). The only possible way to approach the 2:1 ideal is to avoid, as much as possible, the high P content items and supplement with plant-derived colloidal calcium.
