"The Calcium Factor" by Dr. Robert Barefoot Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2002 17:09:55 -0400 Regarding "The Calcium Factor" Any opinions? ### A way of making a fast buck for the good doctor. There is no evidence that calcium supplementation helps in Parkinson's (and trust me, I am a neurologist specializing in movement disorders), at best shaky evidence for efficacy in osteoporosis, and its only clearly well-grounded use is in tetania (not to be confused with tetanus).
