At the Mayo Clinic Website they say “The main cause of hypercalcemia is over activity in one or more of the four glands that regulate calcium in your body (parathyroid glands). Women older than 50 are most likely to develop hypercalcemia caused by overactive parathyroid glands. Other causes of hypercalcemia include cancer, certain other medical disorders, some medications and excessive use of calcium and vitamin D supplements.”

However it is believed by naturopathic doctors that hypercalcemia is caused by just the opposite – lack of vitamin D. This vitamin helps you absorb calcium and other minerals in the small intestine. When your body is out of balance and lacks minerals such as calcium, your body will pull calcium out of your bones. It does this when you have an acid body so that it can neutralize acid and supply your organs, when they are calcium deficient.
