Calcium Deposits

Q I have calcium deposits in my hips. What would you recommend for the reduction or elimination of this calcification? I have had cortisone shots in the past and would prefer not to repeat the process.

A You need to find out why this is happening. Are you low in magnesium? Are your vitamin K levels low? Why are you not absorbing calcium? You should get a blood test to check out your parathyroid hormone levels, ionized calcium, vitamin K and magnesium. Also, get an acid base test. You may not be able to break down and absorb calcium, which then gets stored in your bones and other places. As far as getting rid of the calcium that is currently stored, you could try ACID-A-CAL. When taken as directed, this product works very well for bone spurs.
