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.

CRITICAL EVALUATION OF CERTAIN STUDIES THAT FOUND CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTS MAY REDUCE

CRITICAL EVALUATION OF CERTAIN STUDIES THAT FOUND

CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTS MAY REDUCE

THE INCIDENCE OF COLO-RECTAL CANCERS.

 

(© 13 November, 2013: Dr.V.M.Palaniappan, Ph.D.)

Of late, it has become fashionable for manufacturers of food and drinks to claim that their products contain ABUNDANT CALCIUM.

Now-a-days, even a child knows that he/she has to take plenty  (?)of calcium if his/her bones, teeth, nails, and the entire body are to grow well, and remain healthy.   

As a result, almost without exception, ALL the drinks (beverages, orange juice), whether that be for children or for adults, are made rich by the addition of calcium.  

Where possible, the food manufacturers too do likewise (e.g., biscuits, corn flakes, etc.).

They convince us with the so-called scientific evidences. Daily minimum requirement of calcium is often used as a selling point.

In this process, both the manufacturers and the consumers appear to be overlooking TWO important aspects.

(1)   Their particular food item may meet certain percentage of the daily calcium requirement of a person.

What happens if the person takes double or triple servings of THAT product?

What would happen if THAT person consumes several other products that may contain ‘plenty’ of calcium, but to the level suggested by the Daily Minimum Requirement program?

Will they not add up to ENORMOUS quantities?

(2)   The universal truth is “Anything in EXCESS will be dangerous!”

*    *    *    *    *    *

Well, what would happen if a person consumes far too much of calcium?

According to Arabic Health Encyclopedia (2013: His Majesty King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz (http://www.kaahe.org/health/en/334-calcium/334-6-calcium-calcium-toxicity.html)

Getting too much calcium can cause constipation. It might also interfere with the body's ability to absorb iron and zinc.

In adults, too much calcium from dietary supplements might increase the risk of kidney stones.

Although I am not too sure of the constipation aspect, I fully subscribe to the above statement.

In fact, there are a few more problems as well.

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium (Oct., 2013):

...  movement of the calcium ion Ca2+ into and out of the cytoplasm functions as a signal for many cellular processes. As a major material used in mineralization of bone, teeth and shells...

MY OWN FINDINGS (Palaniappan, 1998-2013: 13 books):

1.      In the first place, calcium that goes into the body through natural food products and drinks, even if they happen to be rich in it, may not do much harm, provided the person voids adequate urine on a daily basis.

2.      Calcium supplementations would harm well-urinating people to a minor extent

3.      Even natural food and drinks would harm the under-urinating people.

4.      If under-urinating people take calcium supplements, they would end up with major diseases, such as type-2 diabetes, kidney stones, hypothyroidism, heart blockages, brain tumours, cancers, and the like.

5.  Likewise, if people whose faecal matter is SLIMY all the time (due to the intake of very high fibre or eating over-ripe fruits such as papaya, and the like), and if they take calcium supplements, the situation can become WORSE.

6.      It is true that excessive calcium, being highly alkaline, suppresses the utilization of iron from food, thus can cause iron-deficiency anaemia.

7.      Excessive calcium in the body makes a person dull-headed and lazy, owing to the above-indicated iron shortage.  Memory failure becomes a common complaint.

8.      It is true that excessive calcium within the body results in kidney stones, thickening of blood vessels, and also the heart blockages.

9.      Excessive calcium with adequate Vitamin-D (either from sunshine or from enriched consumables) gives rise extra bone growth, such as SPURS, or even to start off Chondosarcoma (cancer in the long bone).

10.      Apart from all the above, EXCESSIVE calcium enters into cells, and ENLARGES THEM,  resulting in the enlargement of the entire organ: e.g., Prostate Gland.

(I have observed this problem in nearly all those who consume excessive SOUPS: e.g., 14 bowls of any soup, every week.)

(After all, soups are  extracts of all water-soluble substances from vegetables or meats / bones, particularly the calcium.)

11.  Continued accumulation of such excessive calcium within the cells makes the cells HEAVIER as well. Collectively, the body becomes overweight / obese.

12  Such accumulations in the thyroid gland gives hypothyroidism.

13.  Too much of calcium gives early menopause to women.

14.  AGAIN, TOO MUCH OF THIS WILL GIVE OSTEOPROSIS IN MENOPAUSAL WOMEN. (Calcium deficiency does NOT give osteoporosis to women, instead, the brain sheds of the excess – I will discuss this elsewhere, again). (See Palaniappan, 2012: Menses, Menopause, and Osteoporosis”.)

15.  Too much of calcium increases the SIZE of the sperms, and reduces number of sperms and sperm motility in the seminal fluid.

16.  Far too much of calcium within the body (in the cells of the soft tissues, of course) gives rise to lumps / benign structures initially, which, upon further accumulation,  turn into cancers (See Palaniappan, 2010: Cancer: Causes, Cure and Prevention).

17.  Excessive calcium in the lymph ducts give rise to cancer there.

18.  Excessive calcium in the blood gives rise to blood cancer.

19.  Excessive calcium in the intercellular spaces in the brain of those people who sleep without a pillow (or positioning the head at a lesser level than rest of the body), gives rise to brain tumour.

20.  The same in the colo-rectal region gives rise to colo-rectal cancer, and so on.

At this, some of you may want to refer to a recent study that said that increased calcium intake has reduced the chances of colo-rectal cancer occurrence.

Some studies have reported that calcium intake may prevent colo-rectal cancer.

The following papers have relevance to this finding:

After reading the above articles, you may want to counter-argue with me.

The above end-result should be true!  

I do not deny that.

That is, calcium supplementations could have reduced the incidence of colo-rectal cancer.

Let ME explain how the phenomenon could have occurred in this case.

I have established earlier (Palaniappan, 2010: Cancer: Causes, Cure and Prevention) that the glandular cells called adenomatous cells that make up the lining of the intestinal tract (at the colo-rectal region, in particular) absorbs ANY FREE CALCIUM AVAILABLE there.

About one-third of the calcium present in the food (especially the vegetable matter) eaten does not get absorbed, and is thrown out of the body as part of the faeces. The brain does this kind of management job.

If a person eats food that contains FAR TOO MUCH of FIBRES (e.g., as in most of the over-ripe fruits, such as mangos), or over-ripe papaya, and the like, the faces becomes SLIMY and ACIDIFIED by faecal bacteria.

When the faeces turns ACIDIC, hitherto unutilised / undigested / unabsorbed calcium present in the faeces in a ready state for defecation at the colo-rectal area (such as Calcium oxalate, for example) becomes FREED from the bound or locked-up state.

This freely available calcium gets absorbed by the glandular cells at the lining of the colo/rectal region, and gives rise to CANCER THERE.

The above being the case, IF A PERSON TAKES CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTATIONS AT THIS POINT, THAT WILL NEUTRALISE THE ACIDITY CREATED BY THE FAECAL BACTERIA.

When the ACID faeces turn ALKALINE (because of the fresh oral intake of calcium), the slimy faeces would get consolidated and turn to be a solid and shapely structure, thus preventing the release of the locked-up calcium as a free substance.

Thus, the availability of calcium TO THE ADENOMA CELLS AT THE COLO-RECTAL REGION WILL GET DRASTICALLY REDUCED, or stopped nearly totally.

As a result of reduced calcium accumulation, naturally, cancer would NOT occur at the colo-rectal region.

This is how the research study must have yielded a significant reduction in the rate of colo-rectal cancers.

At this, you may want to ask me another question:

If I said that it is excessive calcium that gives rise to cancer, how come that the calcium supplementation in these studies have actually lessened the incidences.

The following answer should justify this questioning:

If calcium is absorbed and retained in the cells present in the colo-rectal area, then, cancer would develop there.

In the case of calcium supplement intake, that calcium gets absorbed at a MUCH HIGHER LEVEL IN THE INTESTINAL TRACT (and not at the colon), enters into the blood stream, (and the excesses may get expelled into the lymph fluid as regulated by the calcitonin, since the lymph network being the drainage system to contain all the unwanted substances).

The calcium that had entered into the blood (or lymph) tends to get distributed to ALL parts of the body.

If Vitamin-D is available at that moment, this calcium excess would get fixed in the bones, and may even turn into SPURS.

If and when such a bone-fixation occurs, naturally for want of calcium excess, cancer will not occur at the colo-rectal region. Even the chances of cancer development in other parts of the body would become much less.

This will form my explanation/ interpretation for the findings reported in the following paper:

      Lappe, JM; Travers-Gustafson, D; Davies, KM; Recker, RR; Heaney, RP (2007). "Vitamin D and calcium supplementation reduces cancer risk: results of a randomized trial". The American journal of clinical nutrition 85 (6): 1586–91. PMID 17556697.

In the absence of Vitamin-D, the calcium from the blood (or lymph) may end up in ANY of the SOFT tissues in the body (e.g., breast, prostate gland, liver, pancreas, or any such organ).

If such excess calcium from the supplements get distributed evenly into other parts of the body, naturally, COLON or RECTAL region TOO would receive only a small, relatively insignificant share of the calcium excess.

Being in such a small quantity, the calcium in the colo-rectal region may not be enough to form a cancer there.

HENCE, THE ABOVE STUDIES HAD YIELDED A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN THE COLO-RECTAL CANCER INCIDENCE.

If the above researchers monitored carefully the exact* body weight of the samples (the people who were used for the testing), they would have almost certainly noticed, an OVERALL INCREASE in the body weight of those people – due to the addition of the calcium excesses in the cells of various organs in the body.

(* Ref: How to take EXACT body weight: The weighing should be done without clothes, AFTER toileting, after voiding urine, before breakfast, all the time - i.e., daily. Only then, any two readings will become comparable.)

DO YOU KNOW WHY PEOPLE OFTEN DEVELOP CANCERS AT THE COLO-RECTAL REGION, AND NOT IN THE UPPER PARTS* OF THE SMALLER INTESTINES?

It is because, although calcium gets absorbed in any part of the small / large intestine, that calcium does NOT stay accumulated in the cells present at that location.

On absorption, such calcium is simply passed on to the liver for further distribution and use.

Whereas, it is in the colo-rectal region the faeces stays (for much longer duration) with unutilised calcium, and that contributes to cancer development  when the faeces turns acidic, as described earlier.

(* During daytime, the food keeps on moving in the smaller intestine.  However, if a person constantly and habitually eats very late night dinner, say after 10 or 11 p.m., the food would get stagnated in the upper parts of the intestinal tract, owing to the cessation of the peristalsis action.  

The peristalsis that resumes the next morning would push the food further.

Such over-night stagnation enhances the absorption of calcium by lining cells in the stomach itself to yield stomach or pancreatic cancer.

This does not seem to occur in early diners)

This would form one additional evidence to prove my point that it is calcium (from the acidified faecal matter) that gives rise to colo-rectal cancer, and not any other ‘magic’ substance or anomalous cell.

MY FINAL CONCLUSION IS THAT, IT IS CALCIUM EXCESS THAT GIVES RISE TO CANCER, NO MATTER WHAT PART OF THE BODY IT DEVELOPS, AND, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “CANCER CELLS”.

On this, you may want to question me as why and how the chemotherapy and/or radiations heal  some of the cancers in people.

I will write an appropriate and acceptable answer to this question in my next posting.

It is so because, I do not want to make this article too lengthy to read.

I sincerely hope that I have given an excellent answer to some of the disturbing questions that are faced by the mainstream medical professionals, particularly the oncologists.

Now, it is up to the World Health Organisation (WHO) and related research-oriented organisations to evaluate my findings with some amount of open-mindedness, for the benefit of mankind.

Well, friends, I sincerely thank you for reading such a hard-going critical analysis of the subject.

With best wishes and thanks.
