Under normal conditions, the level of calcium in the blood is carefully controlled. When blood calcium levels fall (hypocalcemia), calcium is released from bones to restore proper blood levels. When blood calcium levels rise (hypercalcemia), the excess calcium may be stored in bone or passed out of the body in urine and stool. This control depends upon the:
Amount of calcium in the diet.
Amount of calcium and vitamin D absorbed by the intestines.
Amount of phosphate in the body.
Production of certain hormones, including parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, and estrogen.
Vitamin D and certain hormones (such as parathyroid hormone and calcitonin) help control the total amount of calcium in the body. They also regulate the amount of calcium absorbed from food and the amount removed from the body by the kidneys. The blood levels of phosphate are closely linked to calcium levels. They usually work in opposite directions: As blood calcium levels rise, phosphate levels fall.
Getting enough calcium [at least 1000 mg(1 g) a day] in the diet is important, since the body loses calcium every day. The main sources of calcium are dairy products (milk, cheese), eggs, fish, green vegetables, and fruit. Most people who have abnormal blood calcium levels do not have any symptoms. Usually, calcium levels need to be extremely high or low to cause symptoms.

Here is a recipe from my grand mother:
Put few eggs in a jar and cover them completelly with pure squized lemon juice.
Keep in the fridge and daily slightly shake the jar.
Be careful not to break the eggs.
In about a week, you will se that the eggshell has disolved completelyy and the eggs remain just covered by the soft membrane.
Remove the eggs carefully and shake now the lemon juice and the dissolved calcium deposit and take daily a spoonful.
Hope you believe in natural medicine.
