My sister suffers from diabetes. Approximately 2 months ago she developed severe pain in the abdomen. Doctors told her it was calicum deposits and that they do no know how to treat it, except to give her pain pills. Since that time, she has started dialysis and her condition has worsen. Her abdomen is quite red and bruised. She cannot lay down because of the pain and her stomach is quite solid to the touch. She says the pain is 24/7 and cannot take it much llonger. Do you know what her conditions is called and where she can receive some type of treatment to at least alleviate the constant pain and perhaps relieve her of her problem. Thanks for any help you may provide.

Carol,
If your mom is being dialysed, her main problem is that her diabetes has destroyed her kidneys. The calcium is just one of the complications of this condition.
If she were MY mom, I would get her to see a local Chelating physician in conslutation. Call (800) 532-3688 for the nearest Certified Chelation Physician to her. All patients chelated by the international protocols see improvement in kidney function. She MAY not be a candidate but what do you have to lose? Be sure you take all her medical records so as to save time & money for the chelating physician to evaluate her on the spot.
Let us know what you find out. In the meantime she has no choice but to continue with the conventional treatment.
