4 Key Questions

Q1. Is your Ca absorbed as nutrients and used for the formation of bone ?
Q2. Does your Ca increase Ca serum level abnormally and affect the disruption of normal level of Ca serum ?
Q3. Is your Ca inorganic which cannot be absorbed directly by your body ?
Q4. hat is the amount of Ca and Carbon in your Ca supplement ?

We can combat silent Calcium Deficiency problems with DONAN which becomes condensed in stomach fluids, which enables better absorption and effective calcium assimilation. When the fossilized coral calcium is oxidized, the coral calcium has characteristics of further micro-structured particles.

However, other calcium, like calcite, solidifies or becomes cemented. This may suggest possible cementation of calcite in the muscles and the nerve systems by taking other undesirable calcium compounds.

Correlation between Calcium Deficiency & Academic Achievement

Looking at the results of academic achievement tests by school children at grade schools and junior high schools in different areas conducted by the Okinawa Prefectural Government, the results show lower score in Yaeyama district but higher in Miyako. Many people may wonder why. Unless its cause is found, they may lay responsibilities on the students that the children in Yaeyama do not study hard enough, or tend to think in negative ways such as that the teachers do not teach well, the parents are not responsible enough and so on.

In searching for the cause, it has become clear that academic scores are higher in the area where they drink water with much more Calcium and lower in the area with less Calcium. It was known that Calcium was an important nutritive for the brain, but I did not assume the results of achievement tests were dependent on Calcium that much.

Then, I read five books on Calcium again.

The system that Calcium related to physiological process in bodies is complicated and I reflected myself that it was this much important nutritive. It says that brain works well (bright, clear and sharp) when Calcium is abundant in the blood, but becomes dull when Calcium lacks.

As if it proves the rightness of the theory of Calcium, you will soon find out by putting in order the scores of academic achievement tests in each district for the past two years from high to low that Miyako, Nara and Shimajiri where tap water is taken from ground water contained full of Calcium always compete to be the top: on the contrary, the districts such as Yaeyama, Kunigami and Nakagami which take tap water from rivers with little Calcium are always regarded as low academic achievers.

For proper treatment, I should present the amount of Calcium contained in tap water in each district, but to make it short, it is Yaeyama that has the least Calcium in tap water and its hardness (amount of Calcium and Magnesium in water) is 24.1/1 liter.

Next, it says that the hardness of tap water is Kunigami is 60/ 1 liter and in Okinawa city, it is 160 in ground water and 40 in river water in some cases.

As can be seen from this, in the districts where ground water with full of Calcium is used for tap water, they can easily absorb Calcium by drinking water of 7.5 times of Calcium compared to the tap water of Yaeyama. Drinking water with less Calcium as in Yaeyama, it seems to show a model that academic level drops.

20 years ago, academic achievement test scores of Yaeyama showed the highest in the Prefecture and many research people from different districts came to investigate its cause of excellent academic achievement in Yaeyama district. At that time, local municipal waterworks were just beginning to be implemented but still ground water from wells with much more Calcium was used and children were in excellent health conditions.

However, after then, water from wells were not used at all and they only use tap water with the least Calcium ratio in the prefecture, thus more children become restless and academic level keeps declining.

I can understand why it was easy to teach the students in the past who were only drinking water from wells, but not the students today.

Nakagami which also shows lower academic scores as in Yaeyame is the district that produced many distinguished scholars and educators in the educational field in the Okinawa Prefecture and also Kunigami produced well-known individuals in the industrial field and it is considered that the decline of academic level is not a mental one.

Therefore, mental education should be the most important factor in improving academic level of Yaeyama but it should also find out the cause of the decline of academic level from scientific point of view (cerebral physiology, dietetics and psychology). Even though water from well contains rich Calcium, we should drink water that pass though water analysis. The matter of foods and drinks has to be treated carefully.

Besides, I hope that parents themselves should have enough knowledge about what they eat and feed their children with proper nutritional guidance on daily foods with much Calcium or less nutritional and packaged foods that lose Calcium in their bodies.

Easy Delivery of Healthy Baby for the 3rd Time Charm

I am a 32 year-old housewife and started taking DONAN when the second baby was in the ninth month of pregnancy. I found out that DONAN was not a drug, it is food supplement for both of us.

My first baby received a special treatment due to blood group incompatibility and was afflicted with atopic dermatitis and asthma. The first baby was in and out of hospital quite often. My desire of having a healthy second baby was quite high and I searched through reading and talked with many experienced mothers.

Right after taking two packets of DONAN I found out for myself that I was able to reduce the fatigue related with expectant motherhood, although I was nine months pregnant. I was quite much more healthy without any common discomforts of the late pregnancy (3rd Trimester) compared with what I went through with my first baby.

I was advised by my doctor to take iron due to low haemoglobin but while I was taking DONAN, the level of haemoglobin was up and there was no need of my taking an iron supplement.

The second baby was born. I experienced very brief labour with less bleeding. I had an easy delivery. The baby was healthy with mild jaundice. The second baby had eczema after 2-3 months, other wise, the baby was healthy. I was quite surprised at the results of taking DONAN, I even started to take DONAN a month before the baby was delivered.

The third baby - after the second baby, I took a packet of DONAN every day. After pregnancy, I started to taking two packets of DONAN after every dinner. Of course, I expected easy delivery in confidence with a much more healthy third baby. No eczema with beautiful skin.

In retrospect, I was able to compare distinctive differences among my three babies.

As I have mentioned, there were three different results on the conditions of the babies at birth.

I really wish I had taken DONAN for my very first baby.

Oh, another thing I must mention is that our DONAN Baby sleeps very well! Everybody in my family is now taking DONAN every day. We are truly a DONAN Family in Japan.

Silent Baby Syndrome - The Baby at Birth

As soon as a baby comes out to this world, the baby should be lively and we should hear the first cry of a baby at birth.

The first cry should be loud and clear with a unique high pitch sound. When the baby is laid down on a bed, the baby should be able to curl his body and sleep.

As I heard from my gynaecologist colleague, the babies first cry is not as loud as they used to be and when we put a new born baby down on his stomach one hour after birth, the baby will not change to the stomach lie-down position.

On the other hand, A DONAN-fed baby was able to change to the stomach lie down position to lie-down back position by himself. Apparently, DONAN-fed new born baby has strength in his arms and legs.

I am still investigating "DONAN New Born Baby" and expect to write on the relationship between a pregnant mother's body and the development of the foetus with DONAN feeding and management of the infant from birth through the third year.
