Calcium and the Body

Importance of the chemical role of Calcium in the body.


Importance of the chemical role of Calcium in the body

Just as there is more electricity in a high voltage line than in a light bulb, there is much more calcium in the skeleton than in the rest of the body, and despite this, it is outside the skeleton that its action is vital.
The skeleton, in addition to its role as a supporting structure, serves as an active reserve to supply calcium to every cell in the body.

Because calcium intake is often deficient,
because it is believed that magnesium is more important,
because the role of calcium amplifiers (sodium and sulphur) is underestimated,
the body shifts into illness.

The importance of the chemical role of calcium throughout the body requires a permanent adjustment of its level via the thyroid: Calcitonin or PTH.

The Thyroid and Parathyroid are detectors of chemical elements. Their biological reactions will alert other parts of the body of the adjustments to be programmed to avoid calcium deficiency or to eliminate excess calcium.

The blood, recycled in the liver and kidneys, carries calcium and red blood cells which begin their life in the bone marrow.
Throughout their activity, red blood cells are associated with calcium.
Sulphur, present in plasma albumin and in red blood cells, therefore accompanies calcium.
Calcium is stimulated by vitamin D3 which develops on the skin that is activated by sulphur.
Sulphur and Calcium work together and wherever calcium plays a role, sulphur is active.
The Pancreas, which participates in calcium regulation, produces insulin for the liver.
This hormone thus regulates calcium in the liver.
Sulphur regulates bile production by adapting to the insulin provided, so that calcium does not disturb the bile fluid, thus preventing stones (calcium salts).
Sulphur is an acidic non-metal that has the remarkable property of promoting the expression of bases derived from alkali metals.
In the liver, sulphur maintains calcium in the blood by selecting the exit of sodium towards the bile.
Sulphur is therefore present wherever calcium acts: bone metabolism, lymph, endocrine glands, liver.

There is great reactivity between these two elements due to their nature: Acidic Sulphur and Alkaline Calcium.
This electrical reactivity leads to nerve impulses (calcium being an important actor in nerve cells) where Sodium and Potassium are the two main actors going as far as muscle contraction caused by Sulphur and Calcium.
Calcium, in the nerve impulse, occupies the place of a generator that supplies electricity to the various accessories of the electrical circuit.
The skeleton then represents, by its presence in all parts of the body, a network for distributing charges, thus contributing to overall balance.

The endocrine glands also participate in calcium regulation in the body, so emotions will modify in real time the level of calcium available in the body.
The consequences are immediate in the spine, pelvis, shoulders and sternum.
Emotions can therefore only be expressed if the calcium reserve (skeleton) is able to supply the useful Calcium.

Let us recall that the adrenal glands are stimulated by manganese stored in the bones.
The adrenal glands are not internally oxygenated by the blood.
Calcium, in the endocrine glands, replaces iron to bring oxygen to the cells.

Similarity with the brain: “The brain of the belly”
Why are so many hormones produced in this area to react impulsively to stress?
An emotion arises, the manganese stored in the skeleton will be called from the bones to the adrenals.
Osteoblasts will be activated and release calcium.
As the calcium level increases, the thyroid will be stimulated (action from the brain to the reproductive glands).
Emotions tighten our throat…

Metabolisms are always stimulated by hormones which are wrongly considered as exclusive agents of chemical reactions.
In fact, the cause justifying these reactions is thus ignored: the acting metals and the acid/base exchanges they bring.
This is the case with the triggering of childbirth where the role of the Sulphur-Calcium couple is ignored.

A brief reminder of how the eggshell is made would be very useful…
Sulphur present in the skin, which ensures its functioning, is found in bone metabolism by regulating osteolysis (balance between osteoclasts and osteoblasts).
Vitamin D production requires exposure of the body to UV (thus the skin).
The liver and kidneys will use vitamin D to stimulate calcium assimilation in collaboration with the Thyroid regulating blood calcium.
The thyroid will command the integration or release of calcium in the skeleton reserves.
This calcium cycle shows sulphur at the beginning of the action (skin) and at the end (bones).
The diagram of a cell shows us that the sodium pump mechanism (system of opening and closing the cell) actually uses Calcium as a key to open cellular exchanges.
Phosphorus is also active there, hence its storage in bones.
The involvement of sodium (NaCl) is important.

How can Calcium enter the cell in case of Sodium deficiency? Far from causing cellular retention, Salt opens the cells. The Sulphur and Calcium relationship would then be a hidden key for water retention? Calcium sulphate = Gypsum (Ancient Egypt).

The consumption of chemical elements must always be combined according to the functional complementarities of these elements.
Phosphorus in the body is conditioned by well-regulated blood calcium as well as by the state of the bones.
Phosphorus with Adenosines (ADP/ATP) is the energy generator for all metabolisms.
It is present during bone formation (apatite).
Phosphatine of old used to strengthen babies because it was composed of cereals (calcium-phosphorus-sulphur… and manganese)
The synthesis and separate intake of these elements leads either to uselessness (non-assimilation of the isolated element), or to mass storage (disrupted organism).
Hence the return to natural foods: natural association and dosage of foods.
