Gland Material Adds
Calcium to Blood
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEN

Editor, Journal OF the American Medical Association.
and OF Hygeia, the Health Magazine
The food you eat supplies calcium to your body, by
way Of the parathyrod glands. II your body can't
get calcium that way. 1t draws the mineral from your
bones.
When the parathyrcid material goes into the body.
1t raises the calcium and lowers the phosphorus In
the blood.
If an excess amount Of parathyroid material is
taken into the body or put into the blood from the
parathyroid glands, the amount Of calcium in the
blood viii get too high. As a result. the kidneys may
be damaged.
The amount Of phosphorus In the blood win rise
and abnormal deposits OF calcium viii occur in the
soft tissues. These deposits form stones In the kid
neys and in other places
When. therefore. parathyroid material is admins
tered. its effects must be watched with the greatest
care. The effect may be determined by measuring
carefully the amount Of calcium and phosphorus in
the blood.
1t Is customary to give parathyroid material by in
lection directly into the blood. Within four hours
after the correct amount is injected, the amount OF
calcium In the blood begins to rise and the curative
effects begin. These effects last about "A hours. fol-
lowing a single injection.
1t Is possible. Of course. to inject calcium directly
into the blood.
SO important Is this mechanism to health that
numerous factors are involved in its control. For
instance. vitamin u. when given In the form Of cod
liver oil or ~viosterol, or when developed in the human
body through the effects Of ultraviolet rays. also
serves to raise the amount Of calcium in the blood
over a period OF days.
This effect, when once established. is maintained In
the body for at least two weeks after the administra-
ton Of the vitamin. Thus vitamin d in the form Of
viosterol. when given in large enough amounts. has
about the same effects on the human body as para
thyroid extract.
The chies advantage Of the parathyroid treatment
over the vttamin d treatment is that the parathyroid
effect begins in a few hours. whereas vftamin d ef-
feet may take several days TO establish.
The principal uses Of parathyroid extract nowadays
are in cases Of commissions due to overexcitability
OF the nervous tissues, in certain conditions affecting
the bones and muscles, and in cares in which there
are abnormal deposits OF materials In the human
body which are affected by the administration Of
parathyroid.
1t is said that. In cases Of radium poisoning and
lead poisoning, the administration OF parathyroid will
help remove the poisonous material from the body.
