Calciul levels in soft tissues of the body

Hullo chemists. Perhaps this is more biochem: Recently I had the following letter in Weekend Post (South Africa):
Dear Editor,
In response to the letter "Teachers can also be cruel" (Weekend Post 5 March), as far back as 1985 STOPP (society of Teachers Opposed to Physical Punishment) stated that corporal punishment could cause arthritis (BasicFacts About Corporal Punishment).
Adelle Davis, in Lets Get Well, tells us this:
"It is now generally accepted that severe crippling arthritis is a psychosomatic illness resulting largely from unconscious accumulated anger" (for example, the beaten pupil is not allowed to express his anger to the teacher beating him or her).
Dr Hans Seyle found that emotional stress (corporal punishment is very stressful) and harm to soft tissues produced by hitting and so on can cause calcium to be laid down in the soft tissues of the body of animals. Dr Seyle produced the counterparts of such human diseases as arthritis and hardening of the arteries in this manner.
By law corporal punishment was not supposed to be carried out in a cruel or degrading manner and was only for bad offences. Instead it was often used indiscriminately
What I would like to know is how much it would cost to measure the amount of calcium in damaged (by corporal punishment) soft tissues. Could this be used for court cases (not too expensive?) Corporal punishment is illegal in South African schools but some teachers use it.
