There are many hard to believe
theories on the cause of bone/heel spurs. After many years of
hearing what works for different people, our conclusion on the
matter is this:
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body but may also be
the most deficient. The amount of calcium that we absorb from our
food varies widely. Our age is one factor. An adolescent may
absorb up to 75% of the calcium obtained from foods, while in
adults the maximum absorption rate ranges from 20% to 30%.
Even though our bones feel solid and seem permanent they're just
like any other body tissue - they're constantly being broken down
and formed again. In an adult, 20 percent of bone calcium is
withdrawn from bones and replaced each year. Thus, every five
years the bones are renewed.
Calcium is found in the extra cellular fluids and soft tissues of
the body where it is vital to normal cell functioning. Much of
the calcium in soft tissues is concentrated in muscle, although
it is contained in the membrane and cytoplasm of every cell.
When the body is deficient of calcium it begins to leach calcium
from the bones. In many people this happens to be in the heel of
the foot or some other weak area of the body. As the calcium is
being leached, it forms an eruption (similar to a volcano). This
eruption is the bone spur.
Many people that have suffered from bone spurs found relief when
they properly supplemented their diet daily with "good"
calcium. They found that providing their body with
"good" calcium along with other vital minerals stopped
the "leaching process" (calcium deficiency) thus
allowing the bone spur to shrink down and eventually disappear.
With the bone spur gone, the surrounding damage from the spur is
able to heal also.
Important: The calcium+ must be carefully
formulated to be easily digested to accomplish the
"good" calcium environment in building healthy
body/bone cells.
