WE need some written proof one way or the other, it may or may not be
true... Defintiely if ther eis any kind of kidney problem I would be more
inclined to agree...

Knew this, was never a question. However by important I mean that Ca and P
are responsible for bones, muscle, heart, and lots of other things...
Was just trying to limit this discussion to Ca P.

I still don't see any proof but like Tom am open to discussion and new ideas...
I still think a normal kidney can handle extra Ca. NOw, if it were shown
that a dehydrated kidney couldn't do anything I could buy this, but so far
all I am sure of is that everything still works even when dehydrated, but
concentration of urine occurs... Body is trying to conserve water.
