I would believe the protocol to be a long term problem IF one was taking the calcium alone OR without complexing it (mixing) it into a carbon based plant
Sugar like BSM and a little acid like the ACV or lemon. I DO believe and always have just on instinct alone that taking calcium supplements in pill form without food = bad, especially in light of the needed complexity of balance with other minerals being offset with no compensation.
Even then there is obviously a variable need in the protocol, moreless and invincible both have stated this and it is why I think ML drills into to people on the forum to use common sense... there may be time for more, or less (pun intended) depending upon health of the individual.
I used to be one who thought if a little is good, more is better... this IS NOT TRUE and can lead to serious problems with any protocol.
I also do not believe in the use of vitamins much except in the case of severe depletion and recovery, and then they must be whole foods based.
As you know, you can drink yourself to death on water; too much of anything is not that good for us.
