"From the very beginning of Dr. Carl Reich's medical career, he had postulated reasons for the importance of calcium in human health.  As he began to treat patients successfully in increasing numbers, his convictions grew even stronger, and he began to see even more connections between disease and calcium deficiency.  This led him to postulate a 'Unified Concept of Disease' involving calcium deficiency...he was not aware of the truly massive amount of research being carried out on cellular calcium in the scientific community, giving credence to his postulations" (1).

Dr. Carl Reich is now known as the father of Preventative Medicine.  It was his belief that ailments should be prevented, not treated.  Throughout his career, he cured patients with a variety of diseases simply by reversing the calcium deficiency these patients possessed.  He did not treat them with drugs or surgical procedures, he simply provided their nutrient-starved bodies with the nutrients needed to properly function and maintain good health.  Dr. Reich was extremely successful at inducing the body to return to good health without traditional medical therapy - so good that his medical license was taken away because he proved that those medical treatments, in most cases, were unnecessary.

When the body is deprived of calcium and at the same time a diet and lifestyle are maintained which lower the body's pH toward a more acidic level, many diseases inevitably result.  Calcium neutralizes acid, and so as your acid level increases, the calcium levels decrease as calcium is used to try and raise the pH of the blood, tissues and organs to its normal healthy level of 7.4.

Most people are unaware of just how crucial calcium is to the functioning of every cell of the body.  Calcium is responsible for regulating the openings in the wall of every cell, and for transporting nutrients through those openings.  Calcium also helps provide the slightly alkaline, oxygen-rich extracellular and intracellular fluids which the cells must be bathed in for life to be sustained.  Without sufficient calcium, your cells are literally starved for food and oxygen.  In addition, your DNA cannot replicate properly and produce new tissue to heal you.

Dr. Reich determined that chronic asthma, hypertension, heart spasm, illeitis, peptic ulcers, diabetes, osteoporosis, rhematoid osteoporosis, cancer, constipation, Enuresis, dysmennorhea, migranes, chronic myostis, Alzheminer's, Parkinson's, Lou Gherig's, HIV, AIDS, and much more happened as a result of calcium deficiency.  He also found decreased levels of infectious diseases when the body was well nourished with calcium. 

Calcium deficiency and acidic pH is the basis for all degenerative disease.  Don't let yourself be convinced by doctors or proponents of traditional medicine that you need drugs or surgery before you try this simple alternative.
