Is there a diet to fight calcification ?

I have massive calcification in my right shoulder. What diet is
usually recommended to reduce it, or at least to slow it down ?

Do you know what caused the calcification?
How does it affect the use of your arm?
What does a doctor tell you about your situation?

Sorry for all the questions but answers might help in finding something that
will help you. IMO Diet is not your answer unless what you eat is very,
very high in calcium.

Only a doctor can recommend a diet, AFTER determining what is causing the
calcifiation.

Several items you omitted from your post:
(1) Gender
(2) Age
(3) Who determined you have calcifiation in the right shoulder? A doctor?

Sorry for the omissions. I am 44 male. Calcification is visible on
XRAY, the largest chunk is 2X2cm, total size is about 3X6cm.

As far as I know there is no known reason for calcification of the
shoulder and therefore no diet to slow it down. It can be disolved by
cortisone injections - very painful, but successful - I have had it
done! On the x-ray mine showed as opaque, the consultant said that if
it had been brilliant white on the x-ray then he would have had to
operate to remove it.
