CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTATION, WITHOUT VITAMIN-D, MAY INCREASE CANCER RISKS IN COLO-RECTAL REGION AND OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY

(© 15 October 2015: Dr.V.M.Palaniappan, Ph.D.)

My 40-year study (references, at the end) shows that dietary supplementation of CALCIUM, without the addition of Vitamin-D, can actually INCREASE the risk for the development of cancers in COLO-RECTAL region and other parts of the body.

********
Even before we can discuss anything about the subject of adenomas or pre-cancerous polyps, or colo-rectal cancer, one should know what exactly we are talking about.  The following little but wonderful video explains that in simple terms: All non-medical people should see this:https://www.bowelcanceraustralia.org/what-is-bowel-cancer

********
The paper we are trying to evaluate today (references are given towards the end of this article) involved some 2,259 people, aged 45 and 73, who had colo-rectal polyps initially. 

Their polyps were removed, and were given dietary

supplementation with Vitamin-D and/or Calcium, or both.

.

The purpose of this experiment was to see if the Calcium and/or Vitamin-D could REDUCE the recurrence of the problem.

In the end, the Researchers found that these supplementations did not show any positive result.

******

It has been a big puzzle to all medical professionals as what exactly could be the RISK FACTOR for the development of this polyp or colo-rectal cancer.

(Let us get to know the basics, first:

(a) We know that Calcium, irrespective of its source, in the presence of Vitamin-D, gets fixed mostly as part of the skeletal system, thus increasing its development and growth from the stage of being an embryo until about the 20^th year or so. Subsequent input of Calcium (with Vitamin-D) tends to increase the bone density.

In reality, in the process of evolution, since the availability of Calcium mineral on earth’s surface has been abundant, our body has become accustomed to utilising it practically in every part of the body. 

However, such a fixation can occur only in the presence of Vitamin-D.

The natural source for Vitamin-D is sunshine.

Under normal conditions, humans and animals obtain their Vitamin-D, either by exposing their body to sunshine, or by consuming it from food sources*.

(* e.g., Cow gets its Vitamin-D from sunshine. When we drink its milk, we get it. An infant gets it from its mother’s milk.)

(b) The daily Calcium requirement of ADULTS is 450 or 500 mg. The same for children, because of their rapid growth, is about 900 or 1,000 mg.

(c) Calcium is alkaline, and its pH in consumables can vary between about pH 7.1 and 9.00, or so.). (In Baking Powder, it is about pH 8.5 or so.)

(c)  If there happens to be EXCESSIVE Calcium within the body, essentially due to over-consumption of Calcium-containing food/drinks, that would interfere in the normal functioning of the body.

The blood pH is maintained to remain at pH 7.4 by a hormone called Calcitonin, that is secreted in the Thyroid gland.

If there happens to be too much Calcium in the blood, that can raise its pH to more than 7.4, and that can result even in death.

(d) Therefore, all Calcium EXCESSES that enter the body are usually THROWN OUT as part of the URINE. Until such removal, the Calcium EXCESSES keep floating in the LYMPH DUCTS, as part of the Lymph FLUID.

(e) To expel all such unwanted EXCESSES, one must drink ADEQUATE WATER, and should ALSO VOID ADEQUATE URINE.

(f) If a person UNDER-URINATES, then, those Calcium EXCESSES will have no choice except to staying within the body.

The CELLS that make up the tissues/ flesh / muscles / organs become the STORAGE areas for these Calcium excesses.

(g) The cells in the tender muscles, such as the BREAST tissues in women, and the Prostate Gland in men, tend to attract these free Calcium EXCESSES.  In doing so, the brain tries to utilise the Calcium excesses for milk production in women and semen production in men.

If the woman does not feed a baby with her milk, and if the man does not ejaculate out the semen, then such Calcium excesses tend to give rise to lumps in women, and Prostate ENLARGEMENT in men.

(h) A continued accumulation of such Calcium EXCESSES tend to get stored in the soft cells of all other tissues (thus making the person overweight and obese), in the walls of blood vessels (thus making the walls thicker – forming atherosclerosis, and/or blockages in the heart), in liver (as cysts), in kidneys (as stones), and/or in any of the other organs (as tumours and cancers).

(i) If there is VITAMIN-D in EXCESS, then, the Calcium EXCESSES can form as SPURS (spine-like extra bone growth in the feet), or extra growth at the growing tips of long bones (thus forming Chondrosarcoma).

It can also thicken the skeletal system (thus increasing the bone density to become somewhat abnormal).

(j) Vegetables contain abundant Calcium. In order to prevent EXCESSIVE absorption of Calcium, the brain allows some 70 to 80% of the Calcium present in the vegetables eaten, to remain UNABSORBED, and then that gets EXPELLED from the body as PART OF THE FAECES that is defecated every day.

(k) If the faeces remains in an ALKALINE state, it will remain as a SOLID structure with a cylindrical SHAPE.

So, if a person defecates solid and shapely faeces, we can assume that such faeces has efficiently REMOVED the Calcium EXCESSES.

(l) If the person CONSTIPATES, the glandular cells present at the inner lining of the COLO-RECTAL region secrete WATER in order to make the faeces slimy/watery, so that it can be easily defecated.

Once the faeces turns watery, it enhances the Calcium EXCESSES to be absorbed by the same Glandular cells (called Adenomatous cells). This process enhances the ACCUMULATION of the unwanted Calcium EXCESSES.

(m) Thus, the Calcium EXCESSES from the faeces + the same due to UNDER-URINATION, together, end up as HUGE BULKS of the Calcium EXCESSES*.

(* As per my study, 28% of such accumulate Calcium EXCESS comes from the slimy. Watery faecal matter, 26% due to Erroneous Eating Habit, 24% due to under-urination, Calcium-ENRICHED FOOD & SUPPLEMENTATIONS: 22%: For more and exact details, please see my book “All about obesity in a nutshell”: Details towards the end.)

********
After knowing the BASICS described above, it would be much easier to understand and appreciate the LATEST news item that has been published in Medical Xpress (14 Ocotber 2015).

So, now we know that the accumulation of far too much of calcium, in the absence of Vitamin-D, would NOT contribute to the increase of bone density, or bone growth such as spurs or chondrosarcomas, but would only end up in the SOFT cells of various other organs / parts of the body.

The latter, of course, would give rise to lumps, tumours, cancers, stones, and the like.

The fact remains that all the Calcium EXCESSES that get released from the SLIMY FAECES at the COLO-RECTAL region would now get ABSORBED by the GLANDULAR CELLS present in the lining there.

I have traced that in a person who constantly defecates only SLIMY faces ALL the time, say, for FIVE years or so, the continued absorption of the Calcium EXCESSES tends to give rise to Polyps initially, and then to the development of COLO-RECTAL CANCER.

The story reads:

“Despite promise, vitamin D and calcium do not reduce colorectal cancer risk.

“Dennis Ahnen, MD, investigator at the University of Colorado Cancer Center, and colleagues, show no reduced risk of colonic polyps with vitamin D and/or calcium supplements. Credit: University of Colorado Cancer Center

“The New England Journal of Medicine reports results … that dietary supplementation with vitamin D and/or calcium after removal of pre-cancerous colorectal adenomas (aka polyps) does not reduce risk of developing future adenomas.

“… in previous, smaller trials, (there was a) strong evidence against the usefulness of these supplements in the prevention of future polyps. (“polyps” = small outgrowths-Dr.Palani.)

"… Unfortunately, this trial shows that taking vitamin D or calcium is probably not very useful in this setting," says Dennis J. Ahnen, … one of the paper's co-authors.

“The study included patients 45 to 75 years old who had colonic polyps removed and no remaining polyps at the time of trial enrolement. PARTICIPANTS AGREED TO TAKE DAILY DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS OF VITAMIN D, CALCIUM OR BOTH. … 43 PERCENT OF PATIENTS SHOWED ADDITIONAL POLYPS at the time of the second screening. (This did not occur in the control group… who had taken one or both supplements.)

" In lab studies, VITAMIN D HAS BEEN SHOWN TO SLOW THE GROWTH OF CANCER CELLS THROUGH INHIBITING THE GROWTH OF NEW BLOOD VESSELS REQUIRED TO FEED A CANCER'S GROWTH, AND ALSO BY DIRECTLY CAUSING THE DEATH OF CANCER CELLS…

“Similar is true of calcium supplementation: In population studies, people with higher calcium intake have lower incidence of colorectal cancer, and previous, smaller human trials have shown promise for calcium in the prevention of colorectal cancer.

“… the authors write that they have "no ready explanation" for these negative findings …”

******

Friends,

I am sure, after carefully reading the above news that appeared in Medical Xpress (that originated from New England Journal of Medicine) AND my story from the start:

You could have deciphered more meaningful interpretation of the results obtained by the current Authors.

To start with:

*  Calcium with Vitamin-D, would get impregnated into the

bones. So, there will not be any FREELY-AVAILABLE

Calcium to promote NEW Polyp formation.

• Calcium WITHOUT Vitamin-D, (essentially if it comes from the slimy faeces) would get impregnated into the Adenoma cells at the lining of the Colo-rectal part of the digestive tract, and thereby would produce Polyps - provided that this Calcium from the diet did NOT get absorbed in the earlier part of the digestive tract.
  
  
• Those 43% of the people who DEVELOPED Polyps later, must have either taken MORE Calcium through their food sources that had offset the potentials (beyond the saturation point) of the Vitamin-D (- this would have very little influence), OR could have ACCUMULATED A LOT MORE CALCIUM (without Vitamin-D) through their UNDER-URINATION habit, AND/OR could have also defecated SLIMY faeces most of the time (probably by taking too much of chocolates, over-ripe fruits such as papaya, biscuits, bakery products, etc. – these were NOT monitored in the present study.) So, THAT EXTRA and EXCESSIVE Calcium could have given them the polyps (- these 2 factors could have had greater impact).

(Based on my observation in several cases of this kind earlier, all those 2259 patients must have had their polyps at the start, essentially because of DEFECATING SLIMY FAECES nearly all the time - could have been for three years or so.)

*  After the removal of the polyps they had, may be the 57% of the people who did not get the problem again, could have started defecating solid and shapely faeces because of the alkalinity of the Calcium (with or without Vitamin-D) supplementation, and THAT could have stopped the release of Calcium from the faeces, and thereby the Adenomatous cells at the lining of the colo-rectal region did not get a fresh supply of calcium for the recurrence of the polyps there.

* It is said that in some studies, the supplementation of Calcium had helped in the prevention of polyps.

* This could have been due to the following phenomenon:

When people defecate SLIMY faeces, the previously unabsorbed Calcium from the VEGETABLE MATTER, would get absorbed, thus increasing the potentials for developing polyps. 

* The SLIMY faeces will become SOLID and SHAPELY in the presence of Calcium (or any other alkaline substance). If this happens, the unabsorbed Calcium would not become available for absorption (to give rise to new polyps), but would stay intact in the faeces, and would get defecated.

* Based on this, the 28% of the Calcium (in my study) that must have gone out in the faeces because of the presence of the Calcium supplementation, could have REDUCED the incidence of new polyp formation. 

*  For that matter, by chance, THIS particular group of patients could have URINATED LIBERALLY, thus voiding out the 24% of Calcium (as found in my study). This too could have helped in the PREVENTION of new polyp formation.

*  Apart from these two sources, their calcium-enriching Erroneous Eating Habit too (as found in my study), again by chance, could have been the Correct Eating Habit losing another 26% of the Calcium (For details, please see my books: “Obesity: causes, cure, and prevention” that has statistically-treated data, and “All about obesity in a nutshell”.)

******

The statement:

“Vitamin D has been shown to slow the growth of cancer cells through inhibiting the growth of new blood vessels required to feed a cancer's growth, and also by directly causing the death of cancer cells…”

The above EXPRESSION may have to be modified in the following manner:

• “If there happens to be far too much of Calcium excesses meant to be stored, cells divide mitotically and store them.
  
  
  Since the Vitamin-D must have fixed the Calcium excesses in the bone, new cells need not form (to store the Calcium excesses).  If new cells are not forming, then, there will not be any need for extra blood supply, and therefore, new blood capillaries will not be needed.”
  
  
  (We have to note here that: (a) there is no such thing as “special cancer cells”. (b) Again, none of the cells die. It is just that no new cell will form, simply because, there will not be any need to store Calcium excesses. That is all to it.)
  
  
  To sum up, as per my study/finding:
  
  
  Calcium excesses, when absorbed essentially from the faeces that turn slimy (or watery) for any reason, will give rise to polyps in the first place.
  
  
  Continued absorption of the calcium that way for a prolonged period of about five years or so, may give rise to Colo-rectal CANCER.

Dear Friends,

I hope this critique of mine must have enlightened you on the reality of things concerning Colo-rectal polyps and cancers, in relation to Calcium and Vitamin-D supplements.

CONTINUED OVER-COSUMPTION OF CERTAIN CHOCOLATE TYPES MAY INCREASE TYPE-2 DIABETES IN THE LONG RUN

CONTINUED OVER-CONSUMPTION OF CERTAIN CHOCOLATE TYPES MAY INCREASE TYPE-2 DIABETES IN THE LONG RUN

(© 28 Januray 2014: Dr.V.M.Palaniappan,Ph.D.)

 The current hot news in the healthcare industry appears to be related to the consumption of chocolates for the prevention of type-2 diabetes.

I read this news for the first time in the Malaysian Tamil Newspaper “Nanban” (Wed., 22 January 2014, p.16).

When I keyed in “Chocolate prevents diabetes” in the Google search engine, I could see numerous publications carrying the story. You can try clicking the following sources:

https://www.google.com/#q=chocolate+prevents+diabetes&start=10&tbm=nws

 https://www.google.com/#q=does+dark+chocolate+prevent+diabetes

They have nice news, most of them research-based, and hence, mostly acceptable.

Several researchers have highlighted the positive benefits DARK chocolates (and probably some others as well) offer. 

Well, I don’t doubt all these.

However, what I have found in my observation appears to be exactly opposite to this finding.

I should admit straight away that I did not distinguish the differences between the chocolate types. That could have been due to my failure to explore the composition of the chocolates.

Let me explain the science of the matter here:

To start with, I have already established very well that it is CALCIUM (in excess) that paves a way for the INITIATION of Type-2 Diabetes in people.

I have explained as how this happens in my book “Diabetes: Causes, Cure and Prevention” (that came out in 2012), and also in my recent book that is awaiting its launching, entitled “ALL ABOUT OBESITY, IN A NUTSHELL” (Nov., 2013).

To create some amount of analytical thinking in your mind, let me highlight just one point, and that will initiate your thinking process:

White sugar comes from sugarcane plant.

Some sugarcane plants raised in a certain kind of soil tastes very sweet, whereas those raised in some other land tastes bland, and yields very little sugar.

Have you ever contemplated over the possible causes for this difference?

Well, the soil that is rich in CALCIUM will make the sugar cane much sweeter.

That which grows on soil very poor in its calcium content will have less sugar in the plant.

In other words, if you added calcium to the soil, even the bland sugar cane would become much richer in its sugar content.

This proves the point that the sugarcanes do NOT derive their sugar content from the SUGAR FERTILIZER – the farmer does NOT add sugar as fertilizer*.

(*Drinking blood will NOT become blood directly in us.)

Likewise, when we consume FAR TOO MUCH of sugar, we’ll NOT get Type-2 diabetes!  (The sugar, if left unutilised, will only keep floating in the blood for a while, until it is eliminated from the body, through urination)

THE TYPE-2 DIABETES DEVELOPS ONLY WHEN A PERSON CONSUMES EXCESSIVE CALCIUM , and when it ACCUMULATES WITHIN HIS BODY.

The beta cells in the pancreas react to the excessive calcium.

Once the beta cells in the pancreas REDUCE insulin production, ONLY THEN, the sugar that is ORALLY CONSUMED remains in the blood serum in an UNDIGESTED and/ or UNUTILISED form, thus giving rise to HIGHER SUGAR LEVELS when the serum is tested.

******

REDUCING SUGAR CONSUMPTION will NOT cure him at all!

However, excellent curative results can be had only:

1.   IF THE FREE CALCIUM IN THE BODY FLUIDS IS ELIMINATED, and

2.  IF FRESH INTAKE OF CALCIUM IF AVOIDED.

****************

THE ABOVE BEING THE CASE, LET US EVALUATE THE CONTENTS IN CHOCOLATES and their effects:

Chocolates are said to contain OXALATES, and these can form stones in kidneys, etc.

Schroder, Theresa; Vanhanen, Leo; Savage, Geoffrey P. (2011). "Oxalate content in commercially produced cocoa and dark chocolate". Journal of Food Composition and Analysis 24(7): 916. doi:10.1016/j.jfca.2011.03.008;  IN: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate#cite_note-89.

 Y. Ogawa, S. Takahashi, R. Kitagawa (1984). "Oxalate content in common foods". Acta Urologica Japoinica 30 (3): 305–310. In: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate#cite_note-89

I have repeatedly observed outgrowth of several polyp-like dark-coloured cylindrical skin structures, measuring about 3 or 4 mm, around the neck area in people who consume chocolate on a daily basis.

Chocolates can give rise to OSTEOPOROSIS in elderly people. (Hodgson, J.; Devine, A.; Burke, V.; Dick, I.; Prince, R. (2008). "Chocolate consumption and bone density in older women". The American journal of clinical nutrition 87 (1): 175–180.PMID 18175753. edit. In: http:// en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ Chocolate#cite_note-94). 

I have explained the science of this, as why and how the osteoporosis happens, vividly in my book “Menses, Meopause, and Osteoporosis (Palaniappan,V.M., 2013).

As per my finding, excessive calcium in a person induces osteoporosis, in order to keep the bones in their right composition and density.

The extra bone grown that forms SPUR in many people stands as proof for my statement.

In the process of manufacturing chocolates, they are often added with MILK, which further enriches the chocolates with calcium.

The chocolate itself is said to contain only 1% of calcium (and the magnesium is about 10 times more!) (https://www.google.com/#q=calcium+in+chocolate)

The oxalates and magnesium present in the chocolate may suppress the absorption potentials of calcium.

Nevertheless, the excess calcium present in the added milk may become available for absorption by the intestine.

 *********

Based on the above details, the chemical constituents of the chocolates themselves may NOT contribute for the accumulation of excessive calcium within the body.

It is something else that tends to damage the body!

**********

Nearly ALL foods contain calcium, but to varying amounts.

However, most of the calcium that are present in the consumed food items does not get absorbed by the body.

Calcium that is already present in a soluble-state in the foods and drinks we consume may get absorbed directly and easily.

Some 80% of the calcium that is present in, especially the vegetable matter, does NOT get absorbed.

SUCH UNABSORBED CALCIUM FORMS PART OF THE UNDIGESTED MATTER, AND GOES OUT OF THE BODY IN THE FORM OF FAECES.

If all the calcium from all of the food we eat gets absorbed, then, we’ll be in great danger of developing stone diseases, heart blockages, type-2 diabetes to an uncontrollable level, different kinds of cancers, and the like.

In order to protect us from such a misery, our brain regulates the absorption of calcium in the intestine itself. 

That is why some 80% of the calcium from the ingested foods gets eliminated.

********************

Now, let us find the link that exists between consumption of chocolates and excessive calcium absorption:

The 80% calcium present in the faeces keeps it in an alkaline state. That helps the faeces to remain solid in cylindrical shape.

When the faecal matter is defecated in a solid and shapely form, the unabsorbed calcium gets discarded easily.

Excessive HIGH FIBRE contents in certain foods would soften the faeces, and some of them make the faeces shapeless and SLIMY – somewhat watery.

When the faeces turns slimy, BACTERIA begin to grow there luxuriously.

This bacteria turn the faeces in to an ACID state.

When acidified, the hither-to locked-up, unavailable calcium gets released for easy absorption.

The glandular cells, called Adenomatous cells, absorb all these calcium.

Most of the calcium thus absorbed  gets passed on into the body fluids (mostly through the lymph fluid), while some of it tends to stay within the cells that are present near to the colo-rectal region of the large intestine, which, on repeated accumulation, may give rise to COLON CANCER.

All the calcium that has entered into the body fluids would either get fixed as part of bone – if there happens to be enough Vitamin-D (i.e., if the person exposes his body to sunshine), or may remain as FREE calcium (in the absence of vitamin-D).

It is this FREE CALCIUM (that behaves similar to the sugar substance), that would induce the pancreas to react - REDUCE the insulin production proportionately.

Upon this, we get Type-2 Diabetes.

Thus, regular consumption of plenty of certain* chocolates tend to induce the development of Type-2 diabetes.

(* Further and intense research will have to be done to find which particular kind of chocolate, and at what quantity of its consumption will form the risk factor for the development of type-2 diabetes.)

********

I gathered the following interesting information:

“FIBRE CONTENT in Cocoa Powder & Dark Chocolate33g (133% DV) per 100 grams2g (7% DV) per tbsp (5 grams)” 

This fibre content is considered very HIGH.

Read more at http://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/foods-high-in-dietary-fiber.php#b6m5q7ebJGCPEvR4.99. 

*************

If so, how did the researchers get the result that chocolates have a tendency to reduce type-2 diabetes?

Well, the following explanation may help us to understand the phenomenon to some extent:

*********

When one develops severe constipation, call it “Acute Constipation” for a prolonged period (I don’t call it chronic constipation, as has been misunderstood by many),  the glandular cells (Adenoma) in the lining of the colo-rectal area oozes out water.

That water turns the faeces SLIMY.

We know that the slimy faeces that turns acidic would release the ‘locked-up’ calcium for absorption.

When that happens, we also know that such increased calcium absorption would increase the blood sugar level (see description above).

if and when a person eats (smaller quantity of the) chocolate, it would just SOFTEN the hard faeces, and that enhances easier defecation.

When faeces is removed from the colo-rectal region (without becoming slimy or acidic), the ‘extra’ calcium will NOT get absorbed.

As a result, the serum sugar level either would stay as it was before, or can even get reduced a bit.

Such short-term results may give the false impression that eating chocolate reduces the serum sugar level.

The problem would arise only if the faeces turns, not just soft, but SLIMY, for soft faeces would still remain alkaline, but, it is the slimy nature that turns the faeces acidic to the extent of releasing the unabsorbed calcium from the faecal matter.

**********

I have often noticed, clinically, that the serum glucose level increases and worsens the diabetic status in people who consume plenty of assorted* chocolates, daily!

(* As said earlier, I did not record the kind of chocolate that was consumed by these people.

Therefore, as it is, it appears that there is a need to differentiate between chocolates and re-conduct similar observation to confirm my findings.

Whatever, when you eat some chocolates the next time, just check to see if you are defecating SLIMY faeces the next morning.  If yes, you may want to evaluate the suitability that chocolate for you.)

So, friends, I think, it is important to remember what I  used to say:

WHATEVER YOU HEAR, FROM WHOM SOEVER IT MAY BE,

EVALUATE THE TRUTH IN IT, BEFORE ACCEPTING IT.

(Warning:  The purpose of all my discussions in my blog is meant to provoke the thinking habit in people, and is NOT at all prejudiced in any manner whatsoever.

Often, my findings, even if they appear to be logical, may require further and intense research before they can be considered as conclusive.

Further, the readers of my articles should not apply or practice any of my suggestions given in any of my articles in this Blog, without the prior approval of your regular Registered Medical Practitioner.

It would be better for you to wait until the World Health Organisation approves all my findings – which may happen soon.)  

With best wishes,
