Calcium. Vitamin D, and perhaps some other things, regulates how the body uses calcium.

I used to think I got enough sunlight for vitamin D but I’ve learned otherwise. Now I supplement.

Calcium is very important to most every function of the body. It is absolutely critical to muscles and the vascular system. This is why removing it is so dangerous. We have drugs that combine with calcium and then are excreted or filtered out, but the process can easily kill organs and stop the heart.

I can't regulate what I have because the excess calcium is floating around in my lymphatic system and absorbed and stored in the vascular system which is a normal and necessary function.

I don't know of anything I can do. I have Internet key word searches that return results automatically to my computer. I have joined a number of sites that are supposed to be restricted to medical professionals to gather information of recent research papers and the like, and I just can't find anything that could help....but I'd like to hang around for a while longer so I try.

I do appreciate your concerns and I wish vitamin D or something simple would work, but I literally have pounds of free calcium just floating about as a result of joint deterioration and resulting grinding of bone on bone......
