==== Calcium Phosphate ==== Calcium phosphate is produced by the body in quantity as a response to viral infections or mycoses. Calcium phosphate supplementation works very simply and effectively against the onset of a virus.{{citation needed}} Too much supplementation of calcium phosphate will result in fatigue. :[[User:Notjusttired]] If this was true in all cases and the improvement in symptoms was significant, then wouldn't calcium phosphate be sold as an anti-viral treatment? As I understand it, some viruses don't have any specific treatments that are effective for them (although I may be wrong here). I feel this is overgeneralizing [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 15:27, 28 April 2019 (EDT) Calcium phosphate precipitate causes muscle fatigue https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2278904/ :[[User:Notjusttired]] The article proposes a possible theory or explanation but does not provide evidence that this actually happens. It states (highlighting is mine): <blockquote >"We '''propose''' that''inorganic'' phosphate (Pi), which increases substantially during fatigue, '''may'''enter the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), combine with Ca2+ and form an insoluble precipitate of calcium phosphate (CaPi), leading to reduced SR Ca2+ release and a consequent ''decline in muscle performance'' as originally suggested by Fryer et al. (1995)."</blockquote > :This refers to inorganic phosphate being generated by the body - oral intake of phosphate cannot be assumed to have the same effect, nor can calcium phosphate supplements be assumed to cause this effect, or the assumed muscle fatigue. Both calcium and phosphorus are essential minerals in the human body - anything implying they cause fatigue in all circumstances would be outside the [[Science guidelines]]. :Because complex primary sources can be hard to summarize or fit into existing knowledge it is better to work from a book (try Google books preview) or a summary article that cites very clear evidence from tests in humans.

However, symptoms of nausea, poor appetite, vomiting and constipation may be present with mild increases in blood calcium levels. Moderate high levels of hypercalcemia may produce fatigue or excessive tiredness. Heart rhythm abnormalities, increased urinary frequency, and kidney stones may also be present. With higher levels of hypercalcemia, patients may experience muscle twitching, anxiety, depression, personality changes and confusion. With very high levels of hypercalcemia excessive sleepiness, coma even death may occur. The severity of symptoms for hypercalcemia depends not only on how high the calcium level is, but also on how fast the rise in serum calcium has occurred.“ http://chemocare.com/chemotherapy/side-effects/hypercalcemia-high-calcium.aspx https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hypercalcemia/symptoms-causes/syc-20355523 A person suffering from a complication from having had a flu virus such as fatigue will observe significant addition to fatigue supplementing with calcium phosphate(calc phos http://www.hylands.com/products/calc-phos) though sniffles and sneezes will be taken care of almost immediately. The body’s response to the onset of a virus by producing calcium phosphate in quantity continues long after the viral infection is dealt with. :[[User:Notjusttired]] product sales pages are not suitable as scientific sources in the [[Science guidelines]] unless there is no alternative, independent source. Supplements are not licensed or restricted so often contain false or widely exaggerated claims. There are [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/calcium%20phosphate] a number of different calcium phosphates, it is unclear if all have the same effect[[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 15:27, 28 April 2019 (EDT) The body produces calcium phosphate to assist the primary immune response by impeding viruses from using macrophages as a transmission method. A long term response to multiple viral infections over a lifetime is observable by small fractures that don’t heal, or perhaps a jaw bone that does not entirely close after a tooth is pulled. Since Bile Salts contain calcium phosphate, supplementation after a period of 25-30 days will probably result in a very obvious resumption of post-viral complication such as fatigue. This would be a metabolic change and a sign to stop supplementation. Once supplementation is stopped, it will take several days to normalize.{{citation needed}}
