| National suveys have shown that the majority of Americans are not consuming enough calcium. Women are supposedly consuming less than half of what their daily recommended amount of calcium is. In the United States alone, calcium deficiencies are overwhelming which is why there is such an importance of biological calcium in our diet. The history of coral calcium is the following: According to the legend, the Okinawan people discovered that chickens that pecked at coral reefs laid twice as many eggs than those chickens that didn't, and the eggs were superb. They then fed the ground up coral that they found on the seabed to their animals and the animals flourished. After putting coral in their soil as well, they discovered that their crops had increased by 300%. They also noticed that when using coral the people of Okinawa became healthier as disease started to be less common. This secret for a healthier and longer life, was coral calcium. |

| So how much calcium is necessary? This answer can be determined by examining the diet of millions of people around the world who take in over 100 times the Recommended Daily Allowance, RDA. Those people live 40 years longer than we do, aging at half the rate that we do and avoid cancer, heart disease, mental disorders, diabetes, arthritis, and all other degenerative diseases. These people are the Armenians, Azerbaijans and Georgians in Russian, the Tibetans, the Hunzas and the Bamas in China. For all of these people, they live at high altitudes above 8000 feet. Their source of water is melting glaciers, and the glacial water is so white with ground up rock that it is called the "milk of the mountains". Each quart includes over 17,000 mm of calcium and many other minerals. So if they drink a lot of water ever day, no wonder they all live to be 40 years longer than us! |

| The scientific evidence that calcium is key for a long healthy life, is huge. The fact that so many diseases, including cancer, can just by changing your diet is mesmorizing. This is why coral reefs are so essential to our world and existance. Not only do they help produce coral calcium, but now coral skeletons are being used as bone substitutes in reconstructive bone surgery. THe pores and channels in certain corals resemble those found in human bones. Bone tissue and blood vessels gradually spread into the coral graft and eventually the bone replaces most of the coral implant. Coral reefs help us in so many ways, but we have to be extremely carefull not to overuse and ruin these precious structures. |
