This book is novel, new, controversial and thought provoking. Based on thirty years of personal research, Robert R. Barefoot, a renowned chemist, presents a powerful argument for the wide-ranging health benefits of marine coral minerals (coral calcium) from Okinawa, Japan. Steeped in mystery, folklore, credible testimonials and emerging science, this book describes how coral remnants collected from the Okinawan ocean floor provide a powerhouse of versatile health benefits of coral minerals and calcium from Okinawa, Japan, when they are used as a dietary supplement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marine Coral Calcium worked for me..........., February 11, 2003

By 

Kenneth W. Gust (Gladwin, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Barefoot on Coral Calcium: "An Elixir of Life" Health Secrets of the Coral of Okinawa (Paperback)

This book is well worth buying...I had a 2 year condition with my knee that at times I could not crawl off my sofa and ended up using a walker....it was extremely painful and exhausting. Mr. Barefoot is right on as far as I am concerned because I took his advise and bought some and took it the same night at 9pm and by 3am the next morning I was running and jumping....something I could not do for nearly two years...this is no exageration...I would not believe it myself if I had not gone through it......Perhaps those of you who have used Coral Calcium have not used the real McCoy....whenever there is a product out there that really works there are those who try to imitate it but fail to get the same quality.....also there may be other factors to consider for your condition.....perhaps the toxins in your system are at a higher level and need to be expelled.....perhaps unforgiveness or stress....there are physical and spiritual reasons for folks getting sick...I refused surgery and the typical drugs for my condition because of the side effects and asked God to give me wisdom and he led me to Marine Coral Calcium......Just because the coral calcium did not work for you why should those of us it does work for suffer because you would like it taken off the shelf.....because what Marine Coral Calcium has done for me I tell everyone and many of my family members are taking it including my 72 year old mother.....since she has taken it, she has lowered her blood pressure as well as helping her with her energy and moods....so please folks refrain from trying to take this great product from those of us it does help......thank you....CL Gust

I don't know whats wrong with you guys you probable never even took this your self. I have seen some results the short time I've known about this product. my neighbor is taking this, he said he had pain in his leg bad. now since he's taken this product he has no pain at all. my friend at work is taking this product and she noticed in 2 weeks that she has more energy and her boyfriend noticed that her spiderveins in her legs were dissapering. what ever is in this product has to be better than all the chemicals in all the medicine that people are takeing.

4.0 out of 5 stars See For Yourself..., February 8, 2003

This review is from: Barefoot on Coral Calcium: "An Elixir of Life" Health Secrets of the Coral of Okinawa (Paperback)

I've applied calcium to my diet and I'm looking forward to living a long, cancer-free life. As with anything, read for yourself and make your judgement.

I do recommend picking up this book not only to understand the benefits of taking "proper" calcium suppliments, but to become aware of the pharmacudical companies who may not have YOUR best interests in mind. If something like natural vitamins and minerals cannot be pattened, you can't monopolize the produt and make huge money doing it. I strongly believe that the way the harsh reviews below are written, they sound like "Pharmecudical Big-Brother" politics driving you away from natural vitamins and into chemical dependancies. Don't be too influenced by reviews...even this one, decide for yourself.
