Dr. Page’s Calcium Phosphorus Ratio and Cancer
Typed manuscript of a lecture. Undated.

Most people are aware that it takes calcium to build strong bones and teeth. Some are aware that the calcium floating in the blood is vitally necessary for muscle function, nerve function, the release of insulin from the pancreas, protein transport, and many other life-sustaining processes. Volumes of information have been compiled over the centuries about the beneficial functions of calcium. Very little has been said about the poisonous effects of non-functioning calcium.
Fifty years ago, a then obscure Dentist (Melvin E. Page), in Muskegon, Mich., while researching the problem of how to stop tooth decay and bone loss around teeth and under artificial dentures, found that in all this wealth of knowledge about calcium, there was one extremely vital missing link. What was missing then, and today, is the correct interpretation of the relationships of the minerals to each other as they circulate in our blood. It was known then as now that if an individual is to be healthy and resistant to the stresses and strains of life, a certain amount of functioning calcium is needed in the blood. It was believed then and still believed now by the vast majority of those in the healing arts that the amount of calcium showing up on the blood test was also the functioning calcium. Dr. Page, after much testing and research experience, found that this belief was not based on experience. He found that the functioning calcium depended on the amount of blood phosphorus in ratio with the calcium. The importance of this point was not realized then and is still not realized, understood or accepted by the majority of the healing arts today. Equally important then, as to what determined the functioning calcium, was Dr. Page’s developing awareness of the poisonous potential of the non-functioning calcium. Some graphics are needed at this point.
Example: Blood sample. 10 mg. % of calcium found, 2.4 mg. % of phosphorus found.
The Above is Classic Upset Body Chemistry
Around these two research discoveries, Dr. Page developed a new approach to the healing arts called BALANCING BODY CHEMISTRY. Dr. Page and others have spent the last 50 years examining all the things modern people do in their modern lifestyles that upset their calcium-phosphorus ratio and all the other standards of body chemistry. The human body is a maze of chemical and energy reactions and relationships. The calcium phosphorus ratio is just one example of balanced or unbalanced body chemistry. Fortunately, it is a major and vital one that can be used as a standard. In the early years of Dr. Page’s clinical research when he was becoming increasingly successful at helping cooperative people stop their tooth decay and bone loss, he found that these cooperative people were able to heal themselves of anything if they continued to keep their body chemistries balanced.
We know now that people choose to upset their body chemistries in three broad areas of their lifestyles. #1. Those food items and liquids we know upset body chemistry which they choose to eat and drink. #2. Those structural problems we know upset body chemistry, which they choose to put up with. #3. Those strong emotions, especially negative, that we know upset body chemistry which they constantly choose to expose themselves to. Realize that an individual has to keep his body chemistry in a constant state of upset a long time before his body shows any signs or symptoms of illness.
Civilized people have been upsetting their body chemistries more and more through the generations. This is resulting in genetically weaker and weaker people. Genetic or inherited weaknesses are different in different people. If you wish to find out what your genetic weakness is, live a lifestyle that keeps your body chemistry constantly upset and your inherited weakness will, in time, surface. One person’s genetic weakness, triggered by constant upset body chemistry, will manifest itself as arthritis, another as cataracts, another as hardened arteries, another cancer, etc. Can disease be explained that simply? Yes. What is more shocking, is the frustration and despair of the seeker of true healing (by whatever approach) who has not studied or been shown all of the known ways there are to upset body chemistry.
Conversely to the above if you live a lifestyle that keeps your body chemistry balanced most of the time, you will never realize or manifest your genetic or inherited weaknesses. Can health be that simple? Yes. And possible!
Our bodies are made up of individual living units called cells. Each of your cells is intelligent, has an outside skin or membrane and does three things. #1. It carries on life processes such as taking oxygen through its membrane, excreting carbon dioxide out of its membrane, taking food through its membrane, and excreting waste out of its membrane. #2. It reproduces itself. #3. It performs a function; muscle cells contract, kidney cells clean the blood, etc. When the body chemistry around your cells is balanced they function beautifully and are resistant to the stresses of life. What happens when we constantly upset our calcium-phosphorus ratio or body chemistry with chosen upsetting foods, chosen upsetting emotions or chosen unattended to structural problems? The illustrations shown speak for themselves.
Balanced Chemistry – Happy Cell
Unbalanced Chemistry – Unhappy Cell
Constant Unbalanced Chemistry – Very Unhappy Cell
Let’s look at just the blood calcium to phosphorus relationship as a measure of balanced or unbalanced body chemistry. As the functioning calcium goes down, the nonfunctioning calcium goes up. If your lifestyle constantly creates this situation, day in and day out, this non-functioning calcium will do one of two things depending on your genetic coding. It will leave the body, in which case the bones will eventually start to lose their reserve supply of calcium, or this non-functioning calcium will deposit into tissues as poisonous calcium impairing the life processes of cell membranes. The interesting irony of either situation is that if you consume calcium tablets to stop either situation and if you don’t stop whatever you are doing that is upsetting the functioning calcium and creating poisonous calcium, the benefit of the calcium tablets will be short-lived at best and experience has shown that most of the calcium tablets will become more poisonous calcium.
Whether your body chemistry is balanced or unbalanced determines whether or not your body develops disease. And, once it does exhibit disease, whether or not you can experience lasting true healing. If you sincerely desire to stay healthy, the responsibility for your balanced chemistry is totally yours. There is no magic pill or cure-all, as evidenced by this most advanced, knowledgeable, technological, degenerated society the world has ever known.
This article is too short to delve into all the things that we know upset body chemistry. However, the following general statements will assist those persons who are ready to start accepting responsibility.
Avoid any food that contains refined sugar, caffeine, refined flour, preservatives, artificial colorings or flavorings, or those foods that have been cooked too much. Avoid sweet drinks, cold drinks, drinks that contain caffeine or caffeine-like substances. Practice turning every negative situation you encounter into a positive situation. Jesus Christ preached it. Very few people do it. Love everything; especially yourself. The person who indulges in the above things does not love himself. If you have structural problems, seek up to date professional help.
The ill person needs to do much more. The ill person has had an upsetting lifestyle for a long, long time. Cancer is a situation where normal healthy cells have become tired of living in an environment of unbalanced chemistry and decide to go out on their own. No virus or cigarettes cause your cells to turn cancerous. The person who constantly upsets his body chemistry with refined food, unattended-to structural problems, constant fear or guilt, or other chosen negative emotions, sets the stage for his cells to start living on their own (cancer). As an example, cigarettes simply determine the location of a person’s cancer. A great many cigarette smokers do not develop cancer. That is because these individuals keep their body chemistries relatively balanced.
Realize, starting now you are totally responsible as to whether or not your body chemistry stays balanced. The reward for a lifestyle of constant body chemistry upset is disease and a death with pain. The reward for a lifestyle of balanced body chemistry is a disease-free life, full of energy to explore and experience all that this life has to offer, and a death that amounts to no more than your body not awakening while your soul passes on to a new experience. Your body is the Temple of God; whether you kept your chemistry balanced in the past and whether you keep it balanced in the future is important, most important is whether you keep your chemistry balanced NOW.
