Success Stories Over 65

Virginia Riker - Santa Fe, NM

I am 67 years young.  I have been an advocate for natural healing for many years. I once managed a health food store and heard many stories from my customers of remarkable healing using natural approaches. I myself have healed myself and my family members, over the years, using natural supplements and foods.

But, I realized recently that I had developed a sort of blind spot regarding calcium. I knew that most calcium supplements are made from oyster shells and are not fully utilized within the body and can contribute to calcium "deposits". So, I tended to avoid taking them. I figured I could get the calcium I needed in the foods I ate. However, I failed to consider that I was eating less calcium-rich dairy foods since I seemed to feel better when I avoided them.

About a year ago, I noticed that my lower back, left side, was becoming increasingly painful and sore when I bent over even a little. The pain grew worse and worse over time. Eventually, I could feel it spread to my hip joint as well. I tried using topical oils and lots of cod liver oil and vitamin D. But, it seemed like there was something missing from those that my body really needed to heal.

During a visit to the doctor for another internal problem, I had an X-ray. I overheard the doctor telling a nurse that the X-ray showed everything normal except for some obvious deterioration of the spine.

After hearing this, I decided to take action and find some supplements that would specifically help my bones and discs in my spine strengthen. I could actually "feel" the bulging disc when I pressed my fingers where the pain was in my lower back. I knew that further deterioration was likely if I kept ignoring the problem.

I went online and found several kinds of calcium supplements. Then I found AlgaeCal and really liked that it was derived from algae rather than oyster shells, which I knew could be assimilated by my body more easily. I also liked that it was shown to be effective in building bone density. I went ahead and ordered a bottle to try.

I started taking two capsules each morning and afternoon. I noticed that the pain was lessening on the third day. It was still there. But, it was not as intense. After the first week, my back definitely felt better. I started doing some simple stretches, hoping to lessen the bulging disc I could feel on my left side. I slowly improved and was able to stretch farther and bend more without pain. And to my surprise, the bulging disc began to subside.

I ordered three more bottles of AlgaeCal. Then, as an experiment, I went for a while without taking any and noticed that the pain started to return. So, I started taking the four capsules a day again, and to my surprise, the pain went away again.

I now have been taking AlgaeCal for about two months, every day and each day I have felt improvement. The bulging disc is almost imperceptible now. It has definitely been healing. I can bend and twist without any pain. In fact, I feel strong and flexible like I did when I was young.

As a result of this miraculous recovery, I am able to do yoga stretches on a regular basis. I know AlgaeCal was instrumental in bringing me to my current state of health and I am committed to taking it every day. Thank you so much for making a great product.

Hi, I had a DEXA scan bone density test in December of 2012. For the past year and three months, I have been taking AlgaeCal and Strontium Boost.

My latest DEXA scan in March showed a 4.1% increase in my bone density. This product reversed my bone loss, and I want everyone to know how pleased I am with it. Thank you.

My yearly DEXA scan consistently reflected a decline in bone mass. Even though I faithfully took calcium supplements, I exercised, and I tried to follow a pretty good diet.

I came across the AlgaeCal website, actually guaranteeing an increase in bone density, or double my money back. When I placed my order I found out that I would not be eligible for getting a refund if my bone mass didn't increase - simply because I was on thyroid medication, while I've been on Armour thyroid for 20 plus years.

But I thought you know what, why not give it a try? I was on all of these other supplements for a number of years, calcium supplements... What I thought, you know, were the best that that money could buy. But my bone mass continued to decline.

So I said, why not give AlgaeCal a chance. I didn't get a refund, you know, on calcium supplements that I had purchased. So why not give AlgaeCal a chance. And I'm so glad that I did.

I recently had another bone scan, and I'm thrilled to say it reflected an 8.1% increase in my spine and a 10% increase in my hip. My doctor was overjoyed, he was amazed, and I just thank God for leading me to the AlgaeCal website.

By the way, I have no pain or weakness in my hands and my nails are stronger than ever. And I'll look forward to getting even a better result on next year's DEXA scan. Thank you AlgaeCal.

Hi, I am 67 small boned, thin & bendy…. VERY active, I discovered I had mild bone loss when I was 62 the usual ankle test, so I upped my calcium citrate, & magnesium intake…. cal chews, dairy, did weight-bearing exercise.. in addition I am a healthy eater... Then after some time I had my first bone DEXA test about a year later and  I was told I have severe bone loss, I was in disbelief that I had gotten worse after supplementing and making a real effort.

A girlfriend said try AlgaeCal, I researched that, it made sense but it was the money back guarantee that sold me because it seemed the promise was real & that they stood behind their product 100%…which nobody does anymore. I insisted that I have another bone DEXA test from my doctor (which was hard to get) after 6 months of taking AlgaeCal 2 pills 2x a day and Strontium 2 pills 1x per day (not together, with considerable time in between)  my DEXA test T scores went up from …-2.7, -2.7, -2.9  to  -1.9, -2.4, -2.3 …better, improved!…. I continue to supplement with AlgaeCal, in the evening, some strontium in the AM and:

• I make kale lemonade w/my juicer
• Lots of green drinks
• And chicken foot broth
• Kale, spinach, black sesame seeds, almonds in my food
• I do Yoga 1 X per week & some minimal gym workouts

And hope my next DEXA coming up is even better!

My story goes like this. I’m a 74-year-old woman taking AlgaeCal. I had a bone scan and another a year later. The findings were fairly significant. The radiologists comments were: The current scan is compared with the previous one dated a year earlier. In the interval, there has been a:

• 5.8% increase in the BMD in the lumbar spine
• 13% increase in the right femoral neck
• 5.4% increase in the left femoral neck

Frohna, Brian, MD I can only attribute the results to AlgaeCal, a healthy diet and some exercise. I take no other meds except for a periodic baby aspirin. Thank you for a product that actually does what it says.

I am three months short of my 81st birthday. When I was forty-one I was diagnosed with low bone density. My chiropractor warned me to do everything to avoid falling because I would surely break a bone. Since then, I have broken many bones, mainly in my feet, ankle, wrist and discs in my spine. My height shrank from 5’8” to 5’3.”

In 2005, I moved to Virginia. In 2011, I had a new Personal Care Physician. Following my bone density scan that year, my new MD registered serious concern about the fragility of my bones. I looked into something new called AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium. I had brought her information on these two latter supplements I wanted to try. I ordered AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium.

My M.D. could not prescribe it for a host of reasons: it came from Canada, was not approved in her practice and was in the category of alternative medicine. I like this doctor. She did not stand in the way of my taking AlgaeCal. Six months after starting AlgaeCal, it happened to be time for my 2-yr bone density scan.

WITH MY RESULTS IN HAND, MY DOCTOR OPENED THE DOOR TO MY EXAMINING ROOM WITH A BIG SMILE ON HER FACE. “GOOD NEWS!’ SHE SAID. YOUR BONE DENSITY HAS IMPROVED 9%. She wrote on the results she handed me, “CONTINUE DOING WHAT YOU’RE DOING.” Well, I think that’s not a “prescription” but it’s certainly an endorsement!

I now have to wait until 2015 for another bone density test. I have great confidence that, come 2015, I will graduate from severe to mild bone loss. In the meantime, I enlist the help of team members “Good Diet” and “Exercise.” And I highly recommend the reading of Lara Pizzorno’s book, Your Bones. That’s where I discovered AlgaeCal and Strontium.

I learned about AlgaeCal from the Dr. Oz television program. It made very good sense so I ordered the 6 month Combination set. I took the AlgaeCal and Strontium Boost for 5 months. I have just opened my sixth bottle and it was time for my DEXA Scan. The results showed that I had gone from low bone density to normal in my left hip. I feel that was a great improvement in a very short amount of time. I will continue to use these fine products and can hardly wait to see what happens in my next scan in the fall of 2013. Keep up the good work.

Today I had my annual visit with the specialist treating me. He didn’t know I already had a copy of the results of the last test. So he announced to me the 17% increase, showed me the color graphic showing how I moved from the Orange area to the light Green area, skipping the Yellow area, and said: this is surely the result of my taking Strontium.

He also said this was EXCEPTIONAL results, even if sometimes there is the possibility of exaggerated or false reading, if we take 50% of that or a 8% increase in my bone density, it is still exceptional. I’m very happy to hear him admit quite freely that what I was taking was the cause of my getting so much better. He told me to continue with that. Regards, Andre Robert

- Hi, I'm George Smith. And this is my wife, Mary Roberts Smith. We live in Orem, Utah. I'm 75 and Mary is 72. So I looked far and wide for a supplement that I could take, a natural supplement. I tried several, and again, going back for a DEXA scan to let the doctor know where I was, none of these worked.

But in May of last year, AlgaeCal came to my attention. And I got their six month supplement of AlgaeCal and Strontium, and stuck with that through December. Went back for my DEXA scan in January. Lo and behold, my bone density had turned around and had increased by 9%.

The technician was astounded. She said, "What are you doing?" And I told her about AlgaeCal. And so delighted with the results. As I walked out, another nurse said, "Why are you smiling so much?" I said, "I've just had a 9% increase in my bone density." She said, "Well, she was 40, and she had the bones of an 80-year-old." I again referred her to AlgaeCal.

My experience here has been extraordinary. And thanks to Mary and her natural way of healing, we have come a long way in a relatively short period of time.

- I'm Mary Roberts Smith, a doctor of naturopathy, and author of the book, "Looking Younger and Living Longer." I was so impressed with George's results from AlgaeCal that it's now my calcium supplement, as well.

Everyone over 50 should be taking a calcium supplement. It is so essential to our health. Not only for strong bones and teeth, but for our nervous system as well. And contrary to popular opinion, the calcium from dairy products is not easily assimilated by the body.

The most easily assimilated calcium is actually from natural whole foods, such as green leafy vegetables, kale is a good example. The calcium supplements that are from rocks, shells and bones are not well assimilated by our bodies. And what our body cannot assimilate is deposited by our bodies in our joints, which then causes arthritis, behind our eyes, which then causes cataracts, or in our veins, which will cause hardening of the arteries.
