Hi,

I would like to check with you if you can help on my health problem. After taking quite a large amount of calcium supplements in the past (under the misunderstanding I was deficient), I have a problem eating foods high in calcium. I break out and develop rashes when I consume such foods. But I went through blood testing and they could not detect anything abnormal about my calcium or phosphate levels although I noticed that my phosphate tested on the low side of range based on 95% of the population. Phosphorus helps to lower my calcium problem by acting as an antagonist. I knew this through research and has verified this in real life by solving this problem with higher phosphorus intake. I realized that it is possible that high dietary calcium cannot be detected via blood testing according to Dr. Ronald Roth (from over 30 years of research):

"Intracellular and Serum levels of nutrients represent different physiological and pathological processes. Abnormal levels seen in one medium are not necessarily reflected in the other, so they need to be interpreted differently. For example:
High Serum Calcium = possible kidney or parathyroid disturbances, high Vitamin D intake, cancer... High Cellular Calcium = excessive dietary intake of calcium or lack of calcium co-factors, low stomach acid...

Calcium requirements are another of many other examples that cannot be established through conventional or routine blood tests, so recommendations are also based on population averages or estimates, instead of individual requirements. This of course can have disastrous consequences for patients who either suffer from any number of disorders that prevent normal calcium absorption, or for those who suffer from a calcium overload.

Acu-Cell Analysis is also better equipped to detect pseudodeficiencies, where an excessive amount of one trace mineral triggers deficiency symptoms of another interactive trace element, despite the level of the "deficient" element being in the "normal" range."

As a result, the doctors believe there is nothing wrong but I still have a problem with my calcium food consumption which I have tried to lower successfully with higher intake of phosphorus and caffeine (helps to excrete calcium; see http://www.healthy.net/scr/article.aspx?Id=799 and http://www.nutrition.com.sg/atd/atdcaffeine.asp) in the past.

Do you offer any diagnostic testing to verify that my cellular calcium (as opposed to serum calcium) may be imbalanced? What would you advise?

It feels really frustrating having to explain to my parents who go by my past doctors' word and going through this.

I understand that this falls under the category of orthomolecular medicine which is different from the conventional medicine practised. I have been trying to reach the author of this research Dr. Ronald Roth to comment on this but to no avail. From his LinkedIn page, it seems like he is located in Ontario, Canada.

I appreciate any help on this. Thanks for your concern and attention.

Best regards,
Cindy
