Although
Mr. Barefoot has been publicly claiming for more than two decades
that nutritional deficiency, especially calcium, is the cause of
many degenerative diseases, it has only been recently that medical
journals (New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of the
Medical Association) have been quoted in the popular press (Readers
Digest, New York Times and U.S. World News Report) as validating
that "the humble mineral calcium plays a major role in health
and well being". This means that calcium, coral calcium, and
nutrition are finally being recognized and that the medicine of the
21st century should include nutritional therapy.
Mr.
Barefoot is a chemist who has published several scientific research
articles on analytical chemistry and mineral diagenesis. He is the
author of "Barefoot on Coral Calcium -- An Elixir of
Life", Wellness Publishing, Inc. He researched enhanced
hydrocarbon extraction in the petroleum industry and metal
extraction in the mining industry, for which he obtained numerous
international patents, and is still active. His use of biochemistry
in these fields led him to research the relationship between disease
and nutrition, writing his book on Coral Calcium and appearing as
guest speaker at health conventions and on radio and TV talk shows.
Mr.
Barefoot gives a detailed technical defense to the concept that
degenerative diseases are caused by mineral and vitamin deficiency.
Scientific evidence provided by some of the world's most renowned
scientists is tied together into one cohesive scientific argument
that demonstrates that nutritional deficiency is the cause of many
diseases.

A Note to the
Reader:
The author of this book is not attempting to provide advice on the
treatment or prevention of disease. Whilst the health benefits of
dietary supplements are reviewed, it is not the intention of the
author to provide an alternative to the orthodox physician / patient
relationship. Rather, it is the objective of the author to expand
the dimensions of orthodox medicine itself by provoking more
interest in remedies of natural origin. Food is being incorporated
more into medical practices in the 21st Century, where diet and
lifestyle will play a predominant role in preventive medicine. This
book was not written to endorse the use of specific products or for
any treatment purpose. The conclusions in this book represent the
authors? opinions of medical, scientific, folkloric and lay writings
on the various topics discussed.
The publisher and author accept no responsibility for the use of any
agents mentioned in this book. Before any individual self-medicates,
he or she is advised to seek the advice of a qualified health care
professional. The author does not support unsubstantiated claims of
health benefits of foods or dietary supplements. This book must not
be interpreted as product labeling.
PREFACE
Coral calcium from Okinawa, Japan has become one of the most popular
dietary supplements in the US. Consumer confusion about this dietary
supplement prevails and clarification about its source, properties
and potential biological effects is required. The development of
interest in coral calcium as a food supplement reminds one of other
phases in the popularization of some nutraceuticals (dietary
supplements) where ?hype? may have transcended science. This
circumstance tends to threaten any valuable category of dietary
supplement. A dietary supplement can become damaged by over
promotion and the propagation of misleading information. I am not
necessarily describing a circumstance where individuals have given
intentionally misleading information on the subject of coral
calcium. Some opinions on healthcare matters are zealous whereas
others are balanced. The enthusiasm for promoting a dietary
supplement sometimes overtakes ?hard? facts. This has happened and
continues to happen with many classes of dietary supplements, much
to the detriment of the nutraceutical industry.
In this
short book, my writings have moved towards investigative reporting,
as I try to educate myself and others on the science of remedies of
natural origin. I do not know all the answers to questions posed on
the subject of coral calcium; and I must make it clear that my
interest in coral calcium as a supplement was fuelled more than ten
years ago from an initial position of almost cynical skepticism. My
interest in coral calcium has graduated to the point of belief in
this dietary supplement as powerful, poorly understood, promoter of
health and well- being. In this book, I explore how and why coral
calcium could work to benefit health, but I can only speculate on
its potential biopharmaceutical actions. Steeped in folklore,
arguments, rhetoric and emerging science, coral calcium is playing
an increasing role in America's wide array of putative,
health-giving food supplements.
There is no doubt that the interest in coral calcium has swept the
nation. From humble beginnings as means of purifying water, coral
calcium has been promoted in network marketing, radio shows, books,
articles and more recently national TV infomercials. In the dietary
supplement industry, one witnesses a repeating phenomena with
product promotions, where the use of the supplement is driven more
by the charisma and personality of the promoters, than it is by the
clinical science behind the product. I stress that we have little in
the way of controlled clinical studies on the benefits of coral
calcium, but there are thousands of testimonials concerning its
benefit. Marine biologists have clarified much about the habitat and
composition of live coral and its fossilized remnants that have been
called "coral calcium."
This book attempts to sort out science (or facts) from speculation
on the subject of coral calcium from Okinawa, Japan. When it comes
to coral calcium, many people ask, "Where's the beef?"
This metaphor refers to a quest for "clear" facts about
the health potential and benefits of coral calcium. The many
anecdotal reports of the benefits of coral calcium are screaming to
be further explored in scientific studies. However, much uninformed
rhetoric about its origins characteristics and biomedical
applications must be questioned. I have committed myself over the
past three years to examine the origin, quality and biological
characteristics of coral calcium in order that people may make
informed judgments about its use and potential benefit.
There is a risk, as my publishers keep telling me, of writing books
that nobody wants to read. There is more than "a measure of
truth" in the statement that "the truth hurts."
This reasoning should not apply to our quest for knowledge about the
benefits of remedies of natural origin. Without open dialogue and
rational arguments, there will be no material advances in "natural
medicines."
Let me brighten the horizon of this book by stressing that I believe
coral calcium to be a valuable, rediscovered remedy of natural
origin with potential to promote health and well being. Coral
calcium is a natural, holistic mineral supplement that supplies many
elements or micronutrients (minerals) that are absolutely essential
for the chemistry of life. In fact, the name "coral
calcium" does not do justice this remedy of natural origin.
Coral remnants or coral calcium appear to have much more to do with
general micro-mineral supply to the body, rather than being
merely another source of calcium in our diet.
Please read this book with optimism. It will give you some insight
into how difficult it is to sort science or fact from speculations
(or rhetoric) when it comes to potentially valuable dietary
supplements. The nutraceutical revolution is now part of main stream
medicine and a much greater burden of scientific proof has to be
placed on scientists involved in developing supplements and also on
supplement purveyors. I hope this book will encourage people to
select the right kind of coral calcium supplements and trust
that it may dispel some of the myths and fallacies that have crept
into the biomedical application of one of natures greatest treasures
-- fossilized or remnant coral from the sea and land mass of the
Rukuyuku Islands of Okinawa, Japan.
