Author	Topic: Calcium/osteoporosis question for ReformedRobotMan
Ganesh 05-19-2003 12:44 PM	Apologies for asking a fairly casual question here, but I was directed to this forum by 'BC' from Barbelith. I recall a looong thread - or series of threads - on the connection between calcium and osteoporosis, and I know you were trying to contact a variety of specialists with a view to interesting them in conducting research to test your hypothesis that calcium causes osteoporosis. Has anyone started researching this?

In return, my late apologies for the 'tight leather attack' back then, it wasn't personal, but merely to draw attention. Sorry about that. quote: I recall a looong thread - or series of threads - on the connection between calcium and osteoporosis There were a lot of comments made by us in various threads, indeed, and there was also one thread specifically about that issue. Simultanously, we had kept a similar thread going on for 3 years on the Guardian forum (with input from some well known scientists) quote: , and I know you were trying to contact a variety of specialists with a view to interesting them in conducting research to test your hypothesis that calcium causes osteoporosis. Has anyone started researching this? Well, maybe they do, but I'm certainly left in the dark about this. Actually, 3 different scientists said that they would investigate it, but they never reported back to me, and didn't respond to any of my emails later. Maybe no-one will research, or nobody will publish any results, but, in that case, I will do so myself. I'm planning on going back to university, to start doing a study that allows me to do the proper experiments myself. I'm busy trying to finance the whole thing. RRM

It took me a while to disentangle the constituent parts of that ReformedRobotMan, but I don't think I ever really took major issue with the biochemistry/nutrition stuff. If anything, it interests me - and I think you were right that it's a growing field within Medicine. It's a pity no researcher's stayed the course with your calcium theories; I'd have liked to see that hypothesis properly tested.
