In order to facilitate a quick understanding of the massiveness of the scientific documentation on calcium and disease, a summary of scientific statements from the book “Let’s Cure Humanity” on several diseases will be given along with unaltered quotes from some of the world’s best scientists. After reading them you will conclude that indeed all of the disease mentioned can be cured with God’s nutrients, even though every scientist was very careful not to use the “cure” word. You will also think that what Barefoot said on his infomercial was timid compared to what the scientists are saying.
As there are over 17,000 scientific articles on calcium and its relationship to cancer in the US National Library of Medicine, why has the FDA and FTC taken no action to protect the American public from disease. Unfortunately, doctors don’t have time to read and the FTC and FDA don’t read. The following will provide dozens of these articles for calcium and cancer, high blood pressure, kidney stones, bone fractures and premenstrual syndrome.
NOTE: Despite all of these massive scientific claims regarding the health benefits of calcium to cancer, blood pressure, kidney stones, bone fractures and menstrual disorders, Barefoot making reference to these facts in his infomercial has been outlawed by the FTC which refuses to accept any of the scientific substantiation.
