Also, how effective are mineral compounds like magnesium or potassium citrate at preventing the negative effects of oxalic acid.
You recommend 2000 mg Calcium per day ---- a concern expressed by other nutritionists is that the calcium may not go into the bones, but into the soft tissue and other places causing systemic damage over time. If one does take your suggestion: what are other prerequisite actions or physiological cell metabolism assumptions you are making? For example, are you assuming the person takes Vitamin D, Vitamin K and has proper thyroid function which stimulates production of adequate CO2 (which apparently takes calcium out of the cell). Please explain in detail so I can understand your recommendation in proper context.
