Low and High Calcium Levels and List of Calcium function in our Body

Regarding High Ionic Calcium Levels:When patients have a liberal loss of bone from dentalinfections, they will generally have a high ionic calciumlevel in the blood. People who have freedom from toothdecay generally have an ionic calcium level of the bloodthat is normal or above normal. Individuals who usuallyhave high ionic calcium levels of the blood tend to havebones which are looserknit and less dense. They respondreadily to local anesthetics.People having high ionic calcium levels rarely havecondesing osteitis or spicules of bone work loose aftertooth extractions. Individuals with high ionic calciumlevels of the blood quite regularly develop periodontaldisease.Other Blood Systemic Changes: Dental infections reduce thebody's normal alkalinity reserve in the blood of patientsand animals. The removal of infected teeth in someindividuals results in an improvement of the blood sugarrelationship. The presence of dental infections increasesthe uric acid of the blood.Life in every form appears to be dependent upon free ioniccalcium. The functions of cells - whether excessive, belownormal activity, or in dysfunction - are either affected ordirectly controlled by the concentration of ionic calcium.A person's vital capacity and vital efficiency are bothinseparable from and dependent upon calcium metabolism.Most of these various discoveries will be as new to new todentists today as they were when Weston Price reported them.The subject which occupied most of Dr. Price's researchtime was the multiple roles calcium plays in the functionsof the body. These studies virtually forced themselves uponhim as medical and dental literature contained littleinformation about calcium and its important functions.A list of calcium functions follows:* Every cell is dependent on the presence of ionic calcium.* It is used in teeth and bones and the movement ofmuscles.* It is required for the rhythmic action of the heart andthe intestines.* It is essential for the clotting of blood.* It plays a role in infections, pregnancy,and in themaintenance of the acid-alkaline balance.* Its presence or absence is a factor in the formation oftooth decay, pyorrhea, and the degenerative disease.The great contribution made by Melvin Page, D.D.S., whichhave advanced some of the Price findings were discussed;for instance,how routine calcium and phosphorous blood testreadings can be used to balance body chemistry.Dr. Price showed beginning awareness of what Pagediscovered later when wrote, "What is important is not somuch the presence or absence of an available supply ofcalcium, such as the calcium in foods,as it is themechanisms that govern the metabolism of calcium".Another great finding was that of the relationship betweenthe thyroid gland's activity and that of the parathyroid.About the Author:Dr. George Meinig, D.D.S., F.A.C.D. is a Founder of theAssociation of Root Canal Specialists Discovers EvidenceThat Root Canals Damage Your Health Learn What to Do.
