Dr. Carey Reams taught that all calciums fell into 3 basic categories: Those that cause the urine/saliva pH to become acid, those that cause the pH to become alkaline, and those that are neutral in their effect. The analogy is like this: if you take a cup of baking soda and a cup of vinegar and pour them onto a bowl, there will be a lot of energy released. How about if you try a cup of baking soda and a teaspoon of vinegar? Not much energy released, because of the unbalanced ratio between the two. In the same way, the body needs both types of calciums, as the interaction between the two makes assimilation optimal. When the body is deficient in, say, acidic calciums, it expresses itself as an apparent excess of alkaline calciums. Without a balanced ratio between the two, the excess unassimilated calcium accumulates in places within the body, and you have "bone spurs" and "calcium deposits". Dr. Reams explained that the body extracts molecular energy from minerals, including of course, calciums. Neutral pH calciums (calcium citrate, gluconate, orotate, aspartate) are very easy to assimilate because they have a low level of what Dr. Reams called "Mineral energy", but they have no beneficial effect on balancing one's pH. In reality, we are not really concerned primarily with acid/alkaline, but cationic/anionic. An anion is an alkaline substance. One anion will contain from 1 to 499 Milhouse units of energy. It is a negative ion. An anion orbits in a clockwise direction (looking from above). A cation is an acid substance. One cation will incorporate from 500 to 999 Milhouse units of energy. It is a positive ion. It orbits in a counterclockwise direction. The resistance between these two releases energy, which our bodies utilize. (See http://www.panaminstitute.com/dipbionut.htm ) Anionic (alkaline) calciums (calcium carbonate, oxide, hydroxide and others) have much more of this "Mineral energy", and can be difficult to assimilate, especially oyster shell and dolomite. Bonemeal is a form of carbonate that is is not as difficult to assimilate. Cationic (acidic) calciums have several types, but the most common and easy to acquire is calcium lactate, found in every Health Food store. This calcium is the most powerful, and pulls the body's pH down out of the alkaline zone sometimes rather quickly. Call the Health Food stores around you and ask them if they carry pH paper from Greens Plus. It is much more accurate than the pH 'litmus' paper found in a pharmacy (which is worthless for this type of testing). I can send it to you if you cannot find it (shameless plug!). I can also interpret the numbers. I first started doing this in 1984. Contact me off-list if you have questions.
