Dear Cam
Wow thanks for the information on calcuim do you have that all stored up in your head or do you have reference material I can look at if I need to make a point of it to some one. .
I would not argue this point with my manic friend though he would only make me insane doing so.
You do not win an argument with him.
And it would only put him into deep depression if he lost an argument.
I have decided to say to my friend that I have already bought many bottles of vitamins and that is true when I see them on sale I stock pile and I will say when I am out of my calcium.
I will take what he has to say under consideration and mean while he is searching for a certain kind of calcium and he does not have internet service and I will seek out a company that sells the kind he wantst and give him the information for the place to purchase that type calcium.
I will humor him.
So far he says Calcium citrate is what he is taking and he wants to find two other sources.
By the time he gets his catalogs he will move on to another thing to preach about.
My husband seen him last night and he got the calcium lecture also. My husband is a very patient person and understands this is part of our friends illness.

I like this what you said yes. Water even a drug if it is used to flush out bacteria etc.
As for herbs, one must consider them drugs. Just because they are natural, does not mean that they are totally safe (eg. opium and strichnine are natural, as is the cyanide contain in peach pits). Any product (animal, vegetable, or mineral) taken to attempt to alleiate and illness "must" be considered a drug. The substance that is taken is expected to elicit a therapeutic effect, thus it is a drug therapy. Even water can be considered a drug, when it is taken to try to flush out the bacteria and viruses of a cold.

So what do you have to say about the taking of high clonics deep water flushes for bowels my friends wife does that for people and they think it is very healthy way for every one to remove toxins for system.
My friend will not have a bowel block from calcium because he regularly takes high clonics from his wife.
