Sango-Coral:

Drink a cup of Longevity!

One of the best measures of health is longevity. Several areas around the world have been noted to produce increased longevity, many of them in mountainous areas such as that inhabited by the Hunzas. In glacial areas, mountain streams carry a fine silt of crushed rock dust, providing a high level of alkaline minerals such as calcium and magnesium in the water. These mountain streams also tend to carry a negative electrical charge, making this 'milk of the mountains' into a natural antioxidant to protect against the ravages of free radicals that cause both aging and disease.

The nation with the highest longevity of any on earth today is Japan. And within Japan it has been noted that the people on two particular islands, Okinawa and Tocunoshima, live an average of 10 to 15 years longer than in the rest of Japan's 47 prefectures, despite the similarity in culture and diet. In fact, in 1979, a British journalist for the Guinness Book of World Records travelled to Tokunoshima to interview Shigechiyo Izumi, the oldest documented living person at that time at the age of 115. After submitting to and passing a medical checkup, Mr. Izumi was asked how someone his age could be so healthy. "Simple," he said. "I've drunk water all my life - gallons and gallons of it." Mr. Izumi lived to be over 120 years old, and also happens to hold the world record for the longest career, despite years of smoking and drinking alcohol! Japanese researchers have traced the cause of the increased longevity to the drinking water, which is alkaline and reduced (like alkaline Microwater), in contrast with the acidic water found in most of Japan. After studying over 500 rivers in Japan, and correlating acidity with death rates, Professor Jun Kobayashi of Okinawa University reported in 1982 that the more acidic the water was, the higher the incidence of serious disease became. Yet, Okinawa Prefecture stood alone, isolated from all other points on the graph. This becomes understandable when you realize that the pH of the water there is a very alkaline 8.6, compared to acid pH's elsewhere below the neutral point of 7.0. Not long after this, additional research from 17 European cities also confirmed the link between mineral content in the water and heart attacks.

The reason for the exceptionally healthy water in Okinawa is the coral-calcium sand through which the water percolates, making a unique "milk of the ocean." This particular sand is derived from the Sango Coral, a special species of coral unique to that area and no other coral has been found to duplicate the same therapeutic effects. There are only two suppliers of this coral worldwide. The Coral-Calcium carried by Starfire International is the one actually used in the research, and is processed with significantly less heat, thus retaining its vital electromagnetic health qualities. Overheating of coral simply turns it into chalk. Professor Kobayashi himself, born in 1909, has been monitoring the effects of Coral-Calcium on his own physiology. His blood pressure was 145/90 when he started using it, and it has steadily decreased to its present level of 125/75. He has not suffered from any disease, either major or minor, since using Coral-Calcium. He believes that Coral-Calcium also cures morning sickness and helps assure deliver of health babies. In fact, he even gives it to his cats, who live to ripe old ages up to 21 years!

The number two association with human lifespan is the health of the sensitive crystalline lens of the eye. Of all the Japanese, the Okinawans have the fewest cataracts despite their location 800 miles south of the southern tip of the main Japanese islands, thus receiving more UV sunlight than in any other part of Japan. The remarkable health and longevity found in Okinawa has been attributed primarily to the distinctly different drinking water found in those coral reefs, which is alkaline and anti-oxidant, compared to the acidic, oxidizing water found in the volcanic islands of the rest of Japan. Okinawan Sango coral is available in sachets, like little tea bags, as well as in a finely ground powder, for treating water. It converts chlorine gas into chloride ions in seconds and eliminates most other toxins from water by a combination of electrolysis and adsorption. Alkalinity released, primarily due to the dominant Calcium and Magnesium carbonates found in coral, as well as the broad spectrum of 72 trace minerals including rare earth minerals are stable in the resulting water over long periods. The electron content providing anti-oxidant properties, however, reaches its maximum in 5-10 minutes and then dissipates over a period of about 24 hours. Corals from other parts of the world have similar effects, but not as potent as the Sango coral of Okinawa. This coral water is called "milk of the ocean" just as the milky high mineral content water in mountainous areas renowned for their high longevity is known as "glacial milk."

Since the discovery of the link between Coral-Calcium and longevity, over 4,000,000 Japanese now benefit from drinking water made with a small tea-bag of our Coral-Calcium each day. The tea-bag is simply placed in as much as 2 liters of water for at least 5 minutes, with no heating required, and then used for drinking within 24 hours. It is best stored in a covered container, and may be refrigerated or frozen if desired. The Coral-Calcium also combines with any heavy metals in the water, such as aluminum and cadmium, and stimulates a redox reaction that changes toxic chlorine gas into physiological chloride ions. It even balances water containing bacteria, algae, fluoride, and chloroform. This makes it a perfect treatment for the water served in most restaurants or wherever untreated tap water is served! Just plop one in and its ready to drink in a minute due to the small volume! The same applies to tea, coffee, reconstituted orange juice, beer, wine and any other beverages made with water. Because the coral sand, derived from a once-living coral animal, carries life-giving electrons, it comes in a protective foil pouch to prevent exposure to electromagnetic pollution from depleting its energetic antioxidant properties.

The calcium and magnesium supplied by Coral-Calcium are in ionic form and highly bio-available, even more so than colloidal minerals, most of which are huge particles thousands of times larger than ions, simply suspended in water. In the bloodstream, which must remain slightly alkaline to support life, increased alkalinity of 0.15 pH units also has the effect of increasing available oxygen by 65%!!! In fact, researchers have found that the reason acid rain kills all life in lakes and streams is that in acid conditions, all the oxygen is so tightly bound to hydrogen that it becomes bio-unavailable!

Coral-Calcium was brought to the world market by Rolf Ericsson of Sweden, who's daughter-in-law is from Okinawa. After four years on the product himself, he now looks about 20 years younger. Since Coral-Calcium has become a phenomenon worldwide, even notable people like Mel Gibson and Sean Connery are putting the Coral-Calcium in their drinks!

In this country, an MLM company with over 20,000 members had the exclusive distribution rights for Coral-Calcium until now. But then Starfire International, a little company in Hawaii was been chosen as one of just 5 select companies to carry the product. Why? Worldwide distribution is through Rolf Ericsson's company based in Sweden, and when they decided to terminate their relationship with their former distributor here, they asked their representative to find 5 good, solid companies to run with. Well, it turns out that the man who brought Coral-Calcium to this country, Fred Kaufman, was well aware of Starfire because his mother, Dorothy was a distributor for Starfire. What a small world it is... You see, in the early '80's Dorothy had been 'given' 6 months to live by Mayo clinic, diagnosed with terminal cancer. After extensively researching natural health alternatives, they found a number of remarkable products, including the multi-vitamin which is now exclusively available through Starfire as Star Gold! The best part was that when six months had elapsed, she was found to be totally free of cancer! The doctors at Mayo Clinic started calling her "the Miracle Lady." Then, starting from an article published in their local newspaper, Fred began to receive calls from all over the country. He shared information with many people, and began lecturing as well. In fact, he was even invited to speak at an alternative cancer meeting in Sweden, and that is how the Swedish company with the Coral-Calcium found him to bring their product here!

Coral-Calcium has some amazing properties. By increasing availability of oxygen, damage to the muscular lining of the arteries, as well as other tissues, is prevented. As a result, the rates of stroke, heart disease, digestive problems, skin complaints and even cancer in Okinawa and Tocinoshima are radically lower than those found throughout the rest of Japan. According to the Japanese research, alkaline conditions reduce both cardiovascular disease and cancer, the major killers of our time, by a factor of 10! In fact, cancer cells die within 3 hours in alkaline conditions, while healthy cells thrive. The work of Otto Warburg, responsible for his winning the 1932 Nobel Prize, showed that viruses, harmful bacteria and fungi all require low oxygen conditions to grow. Calcium itself is also one of the most important elements to life, being involved in more functions than any other element. Other forms of calcium require hydrochloric acid production in the stomach to ionize them first before they are utilized. Since deficiency of HCl, a condition known as hypochlorhydria, becomes increasingly prevalent with aging, the provision of ionized calcium in Coral-Calcium water is a boon to the elderly as well as anyone concerned about osteoporosis and other calcium deficiency symptoms like bone spurs, arthritis and other degenerative tissue changes. About 150 diseases are caused by calcium deficiency. For example the highest rates of stroke and heart attack occur in areas with the lowest levels of calcium in the soil! Some of the symptoms that Coral-Calcium is frequently reported to improve include hiatal hernia, indigestion, gastroenteritis, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, joint pain, morning stiffness, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, bone spurs, and cataracts. For example, Dr. O. J. Braenjord of Norway says "The best results so far are without any doubt those with rheumatoid arthritis. Among 70-80% of my patients are improving. Also my cancer patients appear to get a better quality of life." Dr. B. Ogeus, President of Pain Hospice in Soderhamm, Sweden reports "It seems to me that Coral Calcium has a positive effect on people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, allergies, angina, and fibromyalgia." Egyptian-born researcher, Dr. Michael Abdou, believes that coral calcium is the best solution yet for women at risk of osteoporosis, with none of the side effects of hormone replacement therapy. In addition, his own problem with acidity was eliminated with Coral-Calcium, and he says "My wife used to have headaches, but she had a dramatic recovery within a week of taking coral calcium."

Arthritis in particular seems to respond, though in varying degrees, to Coral-Calcium without fail. After treating over 800 people, the Brittish medical doctor who wrote the book Coral Calcium - Arch-Enemy of Arthritis, reports that "...no arthritis sufferers have taken it without experiencing considerable benefit - which cannot be said for any other remedy or treatment." One Coral-Calcium user comments, "After six weeks of taking it religiously every day, I find I am no longer struggling to get out of bed and I hardly need my braces. Also, I have not taken a painkiller since starting the coral calcium regime."

More people report the benefits of Coral-Calcium:

• James, age 50, suffered from chronic hyperacidity, and says "My condition was getting steadily worse, and causing a great deal of concern. Since taking [coral calcium] daily, my condition has improved dramatically, and I even noticed an immediate improvement."
• Linda, with arthritis in her hips and shoulders, plus spondylitis of the vertebrae, found that after 10 weeks she could put her tights on easily, cut her toenails and tie her shoelaces, all of which had been impossible before.
• Laura, age 60, reports "I have just completed my first 12 weeks' supply of coral calcium and would like to tell you how thrilled I am with the results. After more than a dozen years of pain in all my joints I have at last found some relief."
• Kathleen, suffering from severe arthritis, says "After taking it for eight weeks, I have noticed a remarkable change and can now walk without pain. I have recommended it to a lot of people as a result."
• Ruth reports being able to walk to the local village for the first time in four years.
• June writes "I have felt much better - better than I have done for a long time. I can use my legs and feet much better, after suffering years of agonising pain."
• Angela, age 45, who has already had to have both hips and both knees replaced due to arthritis, says "After six weeks I found such a great improvement in my health that I have been able to cut out all of my painkillers and two of my anti-inflammatory tablets, leaving me with only one tablet a day instead of six. I feel better than I have done for a long time and have recommended it to friends who are also sufferers."
• Daphne, who suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, writes in her fourth month on Coral-Calcium "the pain and inflammation have reduced considerably."
• David, age 60, reports "Having taken coral calcium for 10 weeks I feel like a new man. In the past, doing simple things, that most people take for granted, such as climbing stairs or even walking a couple of hundred yards to the shops was a nightmare. Thanks to coral calcium I can now get out to meet friends."
• Christopher, age 59, says "I have a problem with crumbling vertebrae and am in constant agony. It is very uncomfortable, even with lots of painkillers. However, after two weeks of taking coral calcium, I found the pain has completely gone, and I can now quite comfortably walk up and down stairs. It is wonderful to be pain-free, and to feel generally better in all respects."
• Ellen, who was suffering from arthitis at age 64, experienced some increase in discomfort during the first 3 weeks due to detoxifcation but reports that "...after three weeks I could go up the stairs without any trouble and do my shopping. I have no pain at all."
• Mike says "I have been taking coral calcium for seven weeks and yes, it is a miracle. I feel I have a new lease of life, having just reached my 85th birthday."
• Alison, who suffers from osteoarthritis, comments "It has helped me so much. I have more energy and my joints do not hurt so much."
• Peter, at age 52, has already had multiple surgeries on his spine and knees. He says "I've been in agony for as long as I can remember." After four weeks, he had'nt yet noticed any difference, but his wife made him continue the Coral-Calcium. "Two weeks later, I said to her, 'I think its working.' She replied, 'I've known that for the past two weeks." Now he is not only pain free, he is actually able to run again! "I was going to have an operation to remove my wrist bone - I even think I'm going to be able to cancel that now," he reports.
• Ethel, age 79, who suffered from osteoporosis and stabbing pains following a fracture to her cheek bone, experienced complete pain relief within weeks, and says "friends who haven't seen me since I started taking my 'sand' are absolutely amazed at my mobility."
• Helen, from Essex, England, raves "I would not like to be deprived of this wonderful product which has helped me so much and on which I have grown dependent. It is now, in fact, my new walking-stick! It is high time everybody knew about the marvelous benefits of coral calcium."

In contrast to Coral-Calcium which relieves aches and pains by supporting healing, anti-inflammatory drugs have actually been shown to reduce the ability of the body to repair tissues such as cartilage in the joints, and corticosteroids can even cause osteoporosis. Up to six bags a day of Coral-Calcium may be used for relief of acute symptoms, with no more than 4 bags in each 2 liters. Some doctors suggest adding elder flower tincture when flavoring is desired. Aromatherapists also report that Coral-Calcium adds to the benefits of their treatment protocols. Physiotherapist and former international athlete, Leonard Walters, is convinced that Coral-Calcium is the most effective treatment for sports injuries as well. A former skeptic, he reports "I had been in constant pain since a bad injury at the age of 28, and had all the high-tec treatment going. I also tried every kind of painkiller, but I was never really free from pain. Coral calcium was suggested to me by a Swedish doctor, and the pain disappeared completely within six weeks. I was so amazed, I tried it out on my patients, and have a 70 to 80 percent success rate." Since there are no drug interactions or side effects, it is recommended for anyone with dealing with painful symptoms.

A graphic demonstration of the effects of Coral-Calcium can be made by using a liquid pH indicator. When added to water or a clear alcohol like gin or vodka, it shows the acidity of the solution by its amber color, with a pH under 7. Then simply drop in a bag of Coral-Calcium and watch the color change to blue, indicating an alkaline pH of about 8.5! Now, don't drink the water or alcohol, because the pH indicator dye is toxic, but people report when adding Coral-Calcium (the water, the bags, or even ice cubes made with the water) to wine or other alcoholic beverages that it prevents hangovers and other negative after-effects! Strong spirits like gin and vodka will actually take on a blue color just by adding Coral-Calcium. A study at Columbia University also showed that smokers find it easier to quit when they increase their alkaline intake.

Since coral grows in the sea, in addition to providing calcium and magnesium, Coral-Calcium provides all the trace minerals found in ocean water, which is very similar in chemical composition to blood plasma. Some of the most exciting include minerals like yttrium which increases lifespan, and praesodymium, which actually doubles the lifespan of animals! Coral is also considered one of the best sources for naturally concentrated m-state minerals that feed the light body. Coral-Calcium is an indispensable part of your daily health regime.

Trace-Minerals

Coral has been used in medicine at least since the 1st century after Christ, as recorded in Persia. Out of 204 prescriptions, several types of coral were included in Al-Kindi's Medical Formulary (ca. 870 A.D.). This knowledge was brought to Spain in the eighth century, where the oldest pharmacy (est. 1685, A.D.), now a museum, records the inscription, "The blond coral is the only coral used for medicine" as well as the fact that coral benefits the heart and elevates the mood.

Over 70 minerals are found in coral, even though some of these trace minerals are not found at detectable levels in ocean water, which contains 84 minerals.
