I wish I could find doctors who are more sympathetic to encouraging exercise, diet, and supplements rather than just prescribing pharmaceutical drugs. You doctors on You Tube are such a help. Thank you.
Just went to my annual physical. My doctor was very angry with me when I questioned the industrial medical complex. I told him doctors and hospitals are captured by big pharma and agencies. He told my to stop listening the quack internet doctors
@@bradc6199 ….That’s true too. Common sense lifestyle is easy. I want to know from my doctor about the downside and validity of the drugs. I’m not sure he even knows. It’s a captured industry.
I got calcium score scan more than 10 years ago, it was 126. I have family history of heart disease, I had high blood pressure at 32 years old. At that time I was not that old, I didn’t really care about this number, and didn’t not understand how bad it was. As time passed by, my cholesterol level increased and blood sugar increased, doctors kept pushing me to get start medication for cholesterol, and I refused. Two years ago my cardiologist prescribed medicine for me, since in the part of the world I am living in right now all medical care is 100% free, I get the medication every time I go to my clinic pharmacy 😂 it doesn’t matter I take them or not. After a year, my cardiologist called me to follow up, I told him I had not taken the medication at all, he then ordered the calcium score and soft plug scan for me, and said that he wanted to convince me to take the medication by my scan results . The results came out surprised me, the calcium score was 3.9! And no soft plug at all. My doctor called me again, and his first sentence was “you win”, second sentence was “but you still have to take the medication down the road, I will give you 6 months, we will discuss this again”😂😂😂 I had been taken K2 and D3 for about a year and Berberine for about three months before the scans, I did a lot of three days water fasting and eating two meals a day, no refined carbs, no added sugar at all. Don’t know what worked, but the result is good, I will keep doing what i am doing, my next blood test is next week, I don’t know what is going to happen.
My calcium hangs around 11 and docs consider this action worthy. After a fleet of tests and scans, I'm getting one of my parathyroids removed (we have 4) as the cause
I think that's great, I'll personally never go on a statin, just too many bad effects elsewhere with it. Just to lower the cholesterol is no free lunch! Especially when it's just a 1% improvement over the placebo group. From 3% to 2%. I've lower my CAC Score 200 points or 30% on the Linus Pauling Heart Protocol. BTW K2-MK7 with D3 latest recommendation from Dr.Kate Rheaume-Bleue author of "K2 and the Calcium Paradox" is 100mcg of K2-MK7 per 1000i.u of D3. I take 2400mcg of K2-MK7 with 5000i.u of D3 summer and 10,000i.u winter. My D3 level is 60ng/dl.
90 mcg is not nearly enough to perform the functions you describe. I take Vitamin K2-MK7 who’s dosage is 600 mcg which is 2 times the therapeutic dose and it cleaned the plaque from my lower aorta and feet. I also took nattokinase daily. It shocked my vascular surgeon. All this I did after the implanted stents FAILED and Western medicine’s only remedy was chopping off both legs! I also found a natural solution for cataracts with no surgery, just NAC medicated eye drops. I went from the verge of surgery to 1% cataracts and no macular degeneration or dry eye. There is a wealth of natural remedies on UA-cam from qualified medical experts that I trust 1,000 times more than ANY md.
I was curious, how did you figure out it cleaned your aorta and feet? Was it the K2 or the natokanase that did it? How long did it take? Did you eat nato or is natokanase a supplement? I feel like I would like to clean out too, though I don’t know if I need to.
OCLUMED. NUTRITIONAL/LUBRICANT EYE DROPS. I bought it from Amazon but checked for it recently but it was removed. However, I found it on a simple google search. It was priced about $80 and lasts for about 45-60 days at 2-3 tines per day. Whatever it takes, try this stuff. I was diagnosed as being a short time until cataract surgery. I happened to have moved locations and, therefore, changed my Ophthalmologist. A few months later I had my appt with new Ophthalmologist. I told him nothing before my exam. When he finished his exam he shared that he saw 1% cataracts, no macular degeneration and no dry eye. Then I told him the back story and he was amazed. He asked how that happened but I did not share because when this type info (natural remedies) gets around, suddenly it’s not available anymore. I’ll just let him wonder. Anyhow, this is the real deal so get some and follow the directions.
Yes the taste of natto is not easy to accept. This is how I modify the experience, sprinkle with crispy bacon bits, some cilantro, a bit of cheese, I take it with breakfast two soft boiled eggs (soy sauce + white pepper), toast wholemeal bread with butter and black coffee, its great, try it you will enjoy it !
Don't forget that natto has nattokinase in it which is a very potent blood thinner. If a person is already on blood thinners like aspirin or clopidogrel or any of the other anti-platelet anticoagulant drugs, you should discuss it with your doctor before eating natto.
Thank you for this update the doctor didn't discuss: natto has a potent blood thinner called nattokinase which isn't K2. I take baby aspirin when i feel weird and natto might be a bad idea. I'm going to see my doctor and hopefully get a cardiologist referral and blood work. 54yo, 260#, sedentary except work, 140/80 bp, tachycardia, shortness of breath on minor exertion, hiatal hernia. Lately i get brief spells of tingling in my feet and hands occasional unexplained minor pinpoint pain in arms and upper chest
@@woodstream6137 Hope you have made an appointment to see your doctor, do it today. If it transpires that you have heart disease, have a look at Dr.Esselstyn. Best wishes, Ara
“discuss it with your doctor” 😂😂 Me: Doctor, you think I should take nattokinase? Doctor: What’s that? No you need to take more statins. My sons going to Harvard next month and I need some extra money.
@@jammin6816 nattokinese was suggested as a supplement to me because of a particular blood test that came back positive. From what I understand supposed to get rid of microscopic blood clots I’m not sure about the other kind.
I had a Japanese student who LOVED natto. He showed it to me and it smelled nauseating! I'm happy for him - he doesn't have to worry about his cardiovascular health. BUT I'm glad to find more palatable alternatives...
Eggs are one of the healthiest foods you can eat. It's a myth about cholesterol as dietary intake does not cause furring of the arteries. I've been eating 10-15 of our own eggs all my life and I'm fit as a fiddle.
I have eaten Natto for a few years, it does taste awful, but I have found a workable solution: I take a package out of the freezer, immediately take out the Natto and eat it frozen. This really minimizes the taste, 4 bites washed down with juice or water is all it takes. Not bad at all.
i wonder though. the k2 is actually in the slime part not the beans. so it is said to stir it 400 times with chopsticks. that makes the mucus like stuff with the vitamins.
My Mother and Father are over 91 now. I watch and observe how they eat. Mom has no knowledge of researching the internet. Dad has serious eye issues, si hes not savy to having conputer access. The bith geew up in a Country setting in East Texas. They still eat beans, greens and cornbread...and small amounts of meats. She cooks saurkraut with pork chops and apples and onions. Delicious. I've never bern able to repeat her calf liver dish from how I remembered from my childhood. I loved it! She sauteed it in bacon fat with onions, added a spoon of tomato paste at the end. I cook mine similar and my Husband likes it. But, I try to buy only calf liver, and not finding it lately. Thank you for this info. We had an advanced body scan in Houston. We are both Diabetic with a high calcium score. I will add foods from your recommendation more often and order the supplements suggested... I would try natto, asking a relative married to a Japanese woman if they consume in a paletable way... I first learned of stir fried rice from eating at their home as a child. I remember squid mentioned. Maybe... Texas Cowgirl kicking up the dust! 🤠
In my city we have an Asian supermarket, selling loads of products from China, Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia, Korea and... Japan. They sell the frozen natto in little styrene boxes, 50 g with tiny pouches of mustard and soy sauce. After thawing, and mixing the contents, the natto is pretty OK! I always enjoy starting to eat it, because I know it is so darn healthy, with the *vitamin K2* *and* the *nattokinase and* the *PPQ* My advice would be to check out whether there's a place like that in your neighborhood. I wish you success!
So living in the country life, lots of natural light. Sauerkraut for the gut also helps create Vitamin K. Pork chops is high in cysteine, one of the rarest and most important amino acids. They are doing well. God bless your family for tapping into ancient wisdom and living a long life as a result.
I hated natto as a kid in Hawaii and refused to eat it again until I was stationed in Japan. Went out to dinner with some locals one night and they asked me to try natto one more time. They mixed into the natto some spicy japanese mustard and tare sauce, green onions. To my surprise I found the natto they prepared so delicious. Yes natto alone is a bit repulsive. But try it with these condiments and some steamed white rice and you might be surprised.
Yes! It’s an acquired taste, but once you acquire it, you can’t get enough of it That’s been my experience. 9/10 of the time I go to my udon shop, I end up ordering the natto udon! 🍜
I eat it everyday. I actually crave it now. Try it with a spritz of liquid aminos, some dijon mustard, minced garlic, some wasabi, a drizzle of olive oil, chopped green onions on top. I don’t mix it, just layer it over the natto. Its really good. Oh, and its not just vitamin K, but vitamin K2 that you want, very important. I have a personal angiogram report of my artery going from 50% occlusion to 30% occlusion in about 6 months. It’s really good for your gut health too. You cant beat it. I would not like it served plain. Kind of like plain yogurt. But think of all the ways you can make plain yogurt taste great.
So are you saying you went from 50 to 30 percent blocked after eating this food? My mom had heart disease and she's in calcium and cholesterol pills. Should she be eating this instead?
Natto and D3 with K2. There are also Nattokinese supplements that are good too. Check out heartstrong Neutricuticles. Also, check out Plaquex treatment and supplements. Those combinations helped me. And yes, reduced the soft plaque in my arteries. I have the angiograms to prove it. Diet and exercise is needed too.
As a tip; DON'T throw out the sauce and the mustard the natto comes with! Add lots of freshly ground black pepper to the mix and put the whole thing on a buttered toast.😋🤤
I buy freeze dried Annatto. It’s called Natto Dry. I get it from Amazon. I use in my salad or home made soup so you don’t really taste anything bad, because it’s not all moist and slimy either.
I LOVE NATTO. GET IT AT A JAPANESE market in Torrance. and i like the kim- chee I make as well. I have now survived 7 years since heart attack and stint at 63.Doing ok. The fear screwed my arteries and Bp up. First at age 45, when I was accused of 30 crimes by a co- worker and spent 3 years in court. Second time was with a neighbor who started assaulting me all the time when I was 62 and soon started a big bogus law suit . That gave me the heart attack the next year. now i am avoiding trouble and taking good care in retirement. Avoid the legal system at all costs, this is my takeaway!
Will try to improve its taste by mixing with chopped (raw) liver and sardines and chopped up hard-boiled egg and lots of cayenne peffer (similar to a tuna salad). This could be the ultimate super food known to man. Also: If you do not like the taste of something, simply hold your nostrils closed. Guaranteed you will not taste anything (used to do that with prune juice). A big Thanks Doc ! Great information. I'll be sharing it with my family !!
Natto of course An acquired taste but tasty when combined with steamed jasmine rice Sliced green onion Cold pressed sesame oil Any premium hot sauce Delish!
Boron is a mineral and a hormone that removes calcium out of soft tissue in the form of stones and taking some chanca piedra nicnamed stonebreaker can reduce the discomfort . I also use D-3 with K-2 and magnesium and horsetail with other minerals and Himalayan salt with a good amount of water. I leave my water out for an hour as chlorine dissipates.
Was just in Japan a few months ago on business. Yes natto is popular in Japan but not every Japanese person eats it. It seems to be something mothers make at home, children grow up occasionally eating it. Most Japanese eat it; some hate it. Many foods the Japanese eat are soybean based. Along with matcha green tea and soaking in hot water (onsen) , these are the things the Japanese believe in. They have very good health and very good life expectancy.
@@thaddeusbialic7142 not sure if you’re aware of it but another countries they allow a higher normal level. Inbelieve both the US and Canada both had about 100 higher on the scale as normal a number of years back. Now they dropped the normal values and PUSH STATINS to reduce one’s cholesterol. the reason our cholesterol is up as we actually need it to be healthy. Our body makes it.
I've been eating natto for 38 years, since I started living in Japan. If you want to eat it like the natives you have to tone it down with other foods together. Commonly its eaten by mixing in diced long green onion, raw egg and a dash of soy sauce. Then it's whipped frothy and poured on hot fresh rice. It's very tasty once you get past your cultural inhibition to eating raw egg and the pungent smell of fermented soy bean.
An excellent video. I stared taking K2+D3 about 8 years ago because of my heart condition. Relatively "fast" my fingernails got stronger. This was my way to confirm that calcium started leaving my arteries. Unfortunate, my PD was not eager to do a CAC. Well, will ask again. Unfortunately, to my understanding, docs are pushing statins for financial reasons. I like a list of foods with K2 in this video. I was able to stomach duran so, I will try fermented beans ... with a bucket to throw up into. Anyway, we need doctors like Dr. Story. My subjective observation tells me that K2 works. Now, I will check the research area. Thanks!
I have heard once it's there you can't get rid of it. Had stents done. Emerg surgery. No I didn't even have high BP. But have had afib 7 yrs. Then 2 yrs ago got unstable angina. That was fixed by the stents. Very thankful. I do take K2 with D3.
The pill form of Nattokinase is a bit pricey, I just swallow small spoonfuls of Natto with gulps of water.I don’t need a CAC test, I know I got plenty calcification . Thanks for educating us to this highly beneficial content!
Thats good because Nattokinase has no K2 in it! Eat things like pasture raised eggs and saute them in duck fat, which is even higher in K2 than egg yolks. Also hard cheese such as gouda and cheddar but only if it comes from grass fed and finished cows. Same with beef and poultry, butter, ghee, milk - all of these have some K2 ONLY IF they come from grass fed and finished cows.
It's not just the taste, the smell is appalling as well. My Naturopath recently told me latest/best research from Japan is MK-4 at 15-45 grams/day. But also, nattokinase that is in natto but in BIG doses. Research showing best results at 10800FU/day. Do both! Nattokinase only stays in circulation for about 8 hours so I take that 2X/day
I’ve been eating Natto for years now. Tastes much better when you add chopped cilantro, green onion or salsa to it. It is certainly an acquired taste but I tend to eat foods I think I need over what tastes great.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:43 🍽️ *Natto, a Japanese fermented soybean, is rich in vitamin K2, which helps pull calcium from arteries to bones, reducing cardiovascular risk.* 01:51 🩸 *Calcium buildup in aging arteries can make them stiff, raising blood pressure and increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.* 03:14 💔 *A coronary artery calcification test assesses calcium buildup in heart arteries, indicating potential risks of heart attacks and strokes.* 04:20 🧀 *Alternative vitamin K2 sources include hard cheeses, chicken breast, meat, egg yolks, sauerkraut, and other fermented vegetables.* 05:29 💊 *Vitamin K2 supplements, around 90-200 micrograms per day, can be beneficial; the video includes links for further research and supplement purchase.* 06:25 🌞 *Vitamin D3 aids in absorbing vitamin K2; it's recommended to take them individually rather than in combined supplements.*
I am not a fan of the Natto taste but I mix it with Kimchi - another very healthy fermented food - which will mask the Natto taste and the mix is very edible. Benefits are certainly fantastic.
When I ended up with calcium plaques in my epidermis, I began taking Super K as a supplement. A year later, my skin has cleared up and I'm a lot less worried about heart disease.
You’re probably not taking enough vitamin D3. To fight my prostate cancer I needed to, get my vitamin D level up from 30ng/mL to at least 100ng/mL. So I megadosed 100,000 IU of D3 for two weeks, and it worked! my D3 level was 124ng/mL. Over the next year I took 50,000 IU of D3 a day and my blood serum level went to 235ng/mL(FYI: Vitamin D3 toxicity is a myth). I cut back to just 10,000 IU of D3 for the next four months and my blood serum level dropped to just 97ng/mL . Since I still had one tumor, I needed to keep my D3 level up above 100ng/mL, so I took my dosing back up to 40,000 IU a day. After more than six months, my latest blood test showed my D3 level was just 135. What all of this means is, my body is using the massive amount of vitamin D3 I am taking. I took 6000 IU of vitamin D3 for 12 years and my D3 level never rose above 30ng/mL! That meant, although my doctor didn’t recognize it, that I needed a hell of a lot more than 6000 IU of vitamin D3 a day! D3 is an amazing hormone that we have only just begun to study. Take as much as you need to keep your monster level at at least 100ng/mL. Or not. What do I know? I’m just a prostate cancer survivor.
The only problem is that, as you say, we've only started to study D3. Blood levels give a view of absorption combined with usage and they don't actually show how efficiently you are using D3 and for which purposes. Absorption and usage efficiency are effected by your genetics and possibly other things going on in your body.
El año pasado el cardiólogo me receto tomar 100.000 UI de D3 cada 15 dias, en una de las tomas, la dosis de 100,000 UI de D3, a las pocas horas tenia fiebre y taquicardia, duro solo 10 unas horas
I am German and love Sauerkraut. I always try natural stuff (food and remedies) but I also do rife frequencies ( z-app-rife with headphones pn VERY LOW volume) very effective
CAC test is B.S. does not tell you what's on the inside only the outside .... my score was 6300..... way over the max of 400 after all the heart scans treadmill no blockage in the inside take the test with a grain of salt and go see a cardiologist if you really want to know what's going on.
I ate all those foods, took all those supplements. STILL ended up with a HUGE roto - rooter job, with a STENT at the end. My " cardio meal "' at the hospital included 7 packs of regular sugar with every single coffee, French toast with some liquid sweet thing, muffin ( I think it was blueberry ), oatmeal, bagel, rice, potato, margarine, egg whites ONLY ! No salt, regular scrambled eggs, or boiled eggs, no bacon either ! I just had portion of it, still I didn't had this much carbs in 3 months at home ! Years ago I had an open heart surgery, with a double bypass and fixing two valves. Turned out ONE of the vein they used, it disappeared ! I never heard anything like this in my life !!! What happened to it ?! Where did it go ?! 😮 Oh and I have to take a small suitcase medication top of that !: Daily !!!
The problem is the clotting under the plaquing of the arteries. Nattokinase, (Proteolytic Enzyme, 2,000 FUs) can be purchased from the internet, it is a pill and not that muck Natto. It starts to take away a clot within hours of consuming it. There is another enzyme Serrapeptase is a type of enzyme produced by silkworms, cleans up scar tissue. The molecule needed is too big for the stomach lining, however the body does receive this. The aim is to make the arteries flexible and strong, without any plaquing or clotting. The skin on your body as an example is smooth, and has no scarring. The calcium is another matter, surely, the amount of calcium is taken largely by K2. The skin is fixed with true vitamin c, e, d, b the inflammation can be dealt with curcumin or turmeric. The stomach biome should be repaired first, leaky gut will send all sorts of nasties into your blood vessels. Breathing chemicals, eating cornstarch and wheat are too dangerous to consume when fixing the blood vessels. The reason for this is the lectins and the large amount of phosphorous/phosphates in these foods. They will make holes in the stomach lining. The penis is a blood flow organ, it is a symptom if you cannot stay erect. The blue pills might help, however you will need stronger and stronger pills to maintain it. Oils, come into play, olive oil, helps, castor oil helps. Topically and also digested. L-citrulline, L-argentine with pine bark extract might help by boosting up the flexibility of the vessels and promote healing and sexual health. Cavadex has been banned in Australia, for some reason, this could stave off the need for surgery. Good news is www.cholrem.com is the same item, however rectally inserted. A safe and effective sugar molecule which eliminates plaques and cleans blood vessels. It is a back door to cleaning out arteries. www.cholrem.com
I,m in the UK and ended up in hospital a lot of times due to heart problems no tests were done to find out how healthy my heart arteries are, I am reliant on American medical doctors for information for my health, this country is poor and getting poorer, thanks for the advice.

My CAC score was 220 in Sept '23. I tried Natto and thought it was OK. Put it on Rice with Japanese mustard and soy sauce ( low sodium). I also eat saurkraut and kimchi when I'm in Mexico and can't get these foods I take 2 capsules of 1000 d3 120 mcg k2 every day. I'm hoping my osteoporosis and CAC improve.
You have a start. But for me it's a little short changed. I would suggest Dr. Kate Rheaume-Bleue book "K2 and the Calcium Paradox " her latest recommendation is 100mcg of K2-MK7 per 1000i.u of D3. You can take more K2-MK7 as it's not toxic. Also check your D3 level and adjust from there. Mine is 60ng/dl and I take 2400mcg of K2-MK7 with 5000i.u of D3 summer and 10,000i.u winter. If you really want to work on osteoporosis I would take both K2-MK7 and K2-MK4. Dr. Kate recommends 45,000mcg of K2-MK4 per day. It has a short half life but it is different than K2-MK7 in that it strengthens bones internally better than K2-MK7. My wife has osteoporosis and her bone density has improved dramatically. Since I'm 68 I have decided to as well. What people and most doctors don't realize is that once you have a Calcium Score you litterially have a focal vitamin C deficiency. I got on the Linus Pauling Heart Protocol and have reversed my CAC Score by 30% after 30 months! Imagine that! When we are told routinely it's not reversible. But here's a link to what's going on.And not only that but many other benefits as well. Shocking! www.drrathresearch.org/drrath-discoveries/heart-disease
You CAC will never decrease. You can only slow its progression. Also, D3 is a form of Calcium. Look at the ingredients, “Cholecalciferol.” I take K2 MK7 but I refuse to add additional calcium via supplements into my arteries. I get vitamin D from the sun.
I purchased a vitamin D /UV sun lamp a couple of years ago I use it in the winter, and when the weather isn’t sunny closest thing to natural sunlight for vitamin D, the company is called SPERTI. Great video Adam
Great Video Doctor. What about taking Nattokinase 800mg / 4000fu as a daily supplement? I am taking it daily along with NAC and L-Arginine for heart health.
Nattokinase does not have any K2 in it. It must be Natto from fermented non-gmo soy beans, if you are trying to take Nattokinase for the K2. I take Nattokinase as well but not for K2. For K2, I take Australian Emu oil capsules.
Adam you can eat it. It took me only about 3 years to acquire a taste for it but I do in fact eat it every day M-F now. Just natto by itself, no soy sauce, no mustard, no rice, just pure natto.
This is the first time I've heard one of your videos I heard many others but I like yours straight and to the point not click here and have to lesion to long story's. so I subscribe look forward to your next video😊
I have been dealing with high blood pressure nd my doctor wanted me to see a heart doctor. The heart doctor did a calcium level test and my numbers were elevated. The heart doctor wants me to take a stain, and baby aspirin and see him again in 6 months. I am not wanting to get started on a statin and my ultimate goal is to try to get off the blood pressure meds through better eating, loosing weight and exercise. I started supplementing with nitric oxide supplement and was able to drop my BP more that 10 points on both ends so far. I am glad I came across this as I am defiantly going to add K2 to my list.
I am currently taking 4000 iU of D3 and 200 mcg of K2 as MK 7 also taking 100 mg of Co Q 10 along with other supplements. Trying my best to stay off of prescription drugs 😊
Ah dear Doc sauerdraut is again something that does take a while to get used to but hey it IS the highest form of Vit C we can eat!! plus its the cheapest form as well. so at age 77 I now have it daily along with my Natto. ... Love from the Gold Coast again! xoxox Julie
We moved into a HOA that has it's own community well water. It's full of calcium, noticed our hair and fingernails growing faster than normal. This is not an ad but the Zero water filter is the only one that removes calcium.
Thank you for this vital information. I have been researching so much! I am now taking K2 supplement in addition to foods as well as D3 and a hood multi. Very wise advice.
Doctor, I eat natto everyday plus take a K2 supplement. You get used to the texture of natto pretty fast and it is so healthy for you. I take it straight.
I buy natto at the asian grocery store. It would be in the frozen food section. It is sold in small stuyrafome containers. It is not expensive. @@libertybelle8244
There is a study where they took 10000 fu a day divided over the day on a empty stomach plus a baby aspirin and it reduced plaque I think it said by 30% over 6 months. I started taking it and after a week I noticed my BP went down quite a bit. If you’re not worried about plaque you might be able to take less. It also thins your blood so if you’re taking blood thinners be careful
Luckily i became used to Natto after eating it several times. The Japanese figured out that eating Natto with green fleshed Kiwi fruit it helps strengthen the bones in osteoporosis. For some reason the yellow fleshed Kiwi doesn't work. I mash the natto with a fork and swirl it together with the kiwi.
I heard a doctor on UA-cam say that kiwis help you to make new stem cells! So maybe yes there is something to research. I started making my smoothies with green kiwis for a while. Hard to keep up. Probably need to start again🤷♀️
I was so disappointed when I was diagnosed with osteopenia, they told me take extra calcium and vitamin D, not a single mention of vitamin K2 which I take for yrs now. I take vitamin D all the time sadly I’ve never been able to get my vitamin D past 46. And I mean I’m taking 5000 to 20,000 every day of a quality vitamin D I have a vitamin D receptor missing says my DNA report. So that explains a lot of my issues. And I have a family member who really needs to take vitamin K, but they listen to their doctor and their doctor never mentioned vitamin K to them either even though they have high blood pressure even though they have suspected artery issues. I will send him this. Thank you so much.
You're exactly right with vitamin k2, but you're missing out on another key factor which is D3. K2 removes calcium from arteries and d3 helps put calcium where it should go. I had a widow maker heart attack at 35 and have done a ton of research since
I have that too. My cardiologist told me he wasn’t worried about the calcification in the vein as it was holding back the soft hot plaque. He was more concerned with the other soft plaque without the calcification. I’m taking the D3 K2 spray bit concern ed what would happen if it removes the calcification holding back the plaque in the widow maker. Not sure what to think anymore. If you don’t mind me asking; what have you been doing to help with this issue?
D3 does NOT put calcium where it should go. K2 does that. D3 simply gathers up the calcium in your bloodstream but then does nothing with it. Thats why K2 is needed to move it to the bones. Without K2, the osteocalcin proteins will be inactive and the calcium gathered up by D3 will be deposited into the arteries instead of moved to the bones. K2 is the vitamin that activates the osteocalcin ready to move calcium to the bones, not D3.
I’m 71 yr old female and I had a silent heart attack 18 months ago. One major cardiac artery 90% blockage, almost no pain or symptoms. Anyway I was taken to cardiac emergency and had a stent inserted, receive a bucket of Rx drugs, including VERY high doses of a statin. I had a lot of side effects and got off those within 3 weeks and then began titrating the other drugs down with the help of my doctor. I was learning a lot about K2 f D3 and I got myself dosed double the K2 and 5000 D3 twice daily. A few days later I noticed my teeth were getting fuzzy, with soft plaque, especially on the front lower teeth, right next to major salivary glands. I was a dental assistant years ago and I take good care of my teeth so I was aware and cleaning my teeth several times per day. This lasted for about 5 months or so and has dissipated but not totally gone. Question: was this the calcium being pulled out of my arteries?? I had a full cardiac ultrasound, echo, etc at my 1 year post heart attack and they found everything to be in very good shape. I still take quite a range of anti-inflammatory supplements twice daily including the K2 and D3, and I don’t take calcium supplements or consume dairy. My doctor has no idea and I’m curious. Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately I don't have any ideas to answer your question. But I read that you wrote that 2x a day you take 5000 Vitamin D3 which is a total of 10,000 D3 per day. But this is really too much. You may have poisoning. Doctors recommend a maximum of 2000 D3 per day. You say you take anti-inflammatory supplements. Could you tell me the name of these anti-inflammatories you take? Thanks in advance 🙏
Have you had a CaC scan done? Keep the carbs, Refined foods, highly processed industrial seed oils down, or not at all possible. and then space she meals apart to bring the insulin levels down between meals. I would think that you have to go buy what works for your body. I know there’s other things out there that people do that say they reverse heart disease I don’t want to give you advice as I don’t know what would work best for you. different folks on different end of the spectrum of dietary habits have reversed heart disease.
Youre such a gem!! I love your honesty - hahah I am eating This and as I have a vivid imagination I seem to be able to handle it; however when I commenced it I have to say that I did have a few moments of eeeek can I do this! lol. Anyway I am sad you cant eat it but I do understand where youre coming from. I have their soy sauce with it. xxx Julie, GOld Coast
Try eating natto mixed with something else. There are all kinds of combos where it will seem just like an added teaspoon of hotdog-and-beans. Question: will cooking natto destroy the K2? If not, then there are even more ways to fix the ick problem.
I will continue taking natto capsules. It for sure thins the blood some. All I really know is that taking natto, beet root and citrulene have greatly improved my condition of having a weaker than normal heart.
I admire the finest standard pronunciation that let us enjoy the Hollywood films in the 50's or 60's as a starting point of modernism that died in postmodernism nowadays. The resting part will be added as a matter of fact.
I’d like to know this too. I’ve been an avid supplementer of both D and K and I have two tiny bony bumps in my gums. The oral surgeon says he sees this all the time so it’s probably not related. But I do think about this from time to time.
I discovered natto a few months ago and have taken to it like a carpet beetle to a rug. Now I eat it every day. Why not just disguise the taste a bit if you don't like it? I make an omelet out of it sometimes with a little cheese and greens. Or you might have it with kimchi. But then if you don't like saurekraut you probably don't like kimchi either. Well, then maybe a bit of mustard instead. Don't be such a fusspot. :)
I have a tip for people who doesn't like the taste of sauerkraut ( for a medium bowl or two handfull of sourkraut, the ratio is not strict). I add grated 1 bigger carrot or 2 small, 1 apple, 1 tbs sugar, a bit pepper and pinch of salt. Mix and squeeze with a hand, the best, until you get a juicy mix. I eat mostly with a fry fish and mash potato. Or you can find your own variations.
how about drinking a glass of warm water with a tablespoon of ACV with a tablespoon of lemon juice added daily first thing in the morning? Would that help with keeping out calcium in the arteries?
What about Nattokinase? What about vitamin K also improving blood clotting? Will that have the opposite effect in people that have to thin their blood?
Any studies or anecdotes from people that ate natto for 6 months, a year or any time frame and their calcium score actually going down? I see a lot of people that eat natto or supplements commenting but none that actually say they’ve reduced their calcium score.
I LOVE natto! There are many ways to tart it up so you can eat it without gagging! So glad to hear from you that natto is doing the job I've hired it to do. Can you take nattokinase instead of eating natto?
I wish I could find doctors who are more sympathetic to encouraging exercise, diet, and supplements rather than just prescribing pharmaceutical drugs. You doctors on You Tube are such a help. Thank you.
I always say UA-cam doctors are a HEAP better than the doctors we visit in person. It's a shame too!
Simple solutions for simple minded
Just went to my annual physical. My doctor was very angry with me when I questioned the industrial medical complex. I told him doctors and hospitals are captured by big pharma and agencies. He told my to stop listening the quack internet doctors
They aren't stopping you from eating properly and exercising.
@@bradc6199 ….That’s true too. Common sense lifestyle is easy. I want to know from my doctor about the downside and validity of the drugs. I’m not sure he even knows. It’s a captured industry.
I got calcium score scan more than 10 years ago, it was 126. I have family history of heart disease, I had high blood pressure at 32 years old. At that time I was not that old, I didn’t really care about this number, and didn’t not understand how bad it was. As time passed by, my cholesterol level increased and blood sugar increased, doctors kept pushing me to get start medication for cholesterol, and I refused. Two years ago my cardiologist prescribed medicine for me, since in the part of the world I am living in right now all medical care is 100% free, I get the medication every time I go to my clinic pharmacy 😂 it doesn’t matter I take them or not. After a year, my cardiologist called me to follow up, I told him I had not taken the medication at all, he then ordered the calcium score and soft plug scan for me, and said that he wanted to convince me to take the medication by my scan results . The results came out surprised me, the calcium score was 3.9! And no soft plug at all. My doctor called me again, and his first sentence was “you win”, second sentence was “but you still have to take the medication down the road, I will give you 6 months, we will discuss this again”😂😂😂
I had been taken K2 and D3 for about a year and Berberine for about three months before the scans, I did a lot of three days water fasting and eating two meals a day, no refined carbs, no added sugar at all. Don’t know what worked, but the result is good, I will keep doing what i am doing, my next blood test is next week, I don’t know what is going to happen.
Doctors have too much arrogance and pride. A really humble, truthful doctor is like the one in this podcast. May his tribe increase!
My calcium hangs around 11 and docs consider this action worthy. After a fleet of tests and scans, I'm getting one of my parathyroids removed (we have 4) as the cause
I think that's great, I'll personally never go on a statin, just too many bad effects elsewhere with it. Just to lower the cholesterol is no free lunch! Especially when it's just a 1% improvement over the placebo group. From 3% to 2%.
I've lower my CAC Score 200 points or 30% on the Linus Pauling Heart Protocol.
BTW K2-MK7 with D3 latest recommendation from Dr.Kate Rheaume-Bleue author of "K2 and the Calcium Paradox" is 100mcg of K2-MK7 per 1000i.u of D3. I take 2400mcg of K2-MK7 with 5000i.u of D3 summer and 10,000i.u winter. My D3 level is 60ng/dl.
Wow! That is an inspirational story! Thanks for sharing. Would love an update!
@EllisIsland2023 Yes, it is possible with just supplements as I have mine see my post above.
I always like to listen to ppl who look healthy. You look healthy
exactly
90 mcg is not nearly enough to perform the functions you describe. I take Vitamin K2-MK7 who’s dosage is 600 mcg which is 2 times the therapeutic dose and it cleaned the plaque from my lower aorta and feet. I also took nattokinase daily. It shocked my vascular surgeon. All this I did after the implanted stents FAILED and Western medicine’s only remedy was chopping off both legs! I also found a natural solution for cataracts with no surgery, just NAC medicated eye drops. I went from the verge of surgery to 1% cataracts and no macular degeneration or dry eye. There is a wealth of natural remedies on UA-cam from qualified medical experts that I trust 1,000 times more than ANY md.
I was curious, how did you figure out it cleaned your aorta and feet? Was it the K2 or the natokanase that did it? How long did it take? Did you eat nato or is natokanase a supplement? I feel like I would like to clean out too, though I don’t know if I need to.
Could you also share the eye drop brand please
Did you take with Vitamin D or by itself? Resiurces?
OCLUMED. NUTRITIONAL/LUBRICANT EYE DROPS. I bought it from Amazon but checked for it recently but it was removed. However, I found it on a simple google search. It was priced about $80 and lasts for about 45-60 days at 2-3 tines per day. Whatever it takes, try this stuff. I was diagnosed as being a short time until cataract surgery. I happened to have moved locations and, therefore, changed my Ophthalmologist. A few months later I had my appt with new Ophthalmologist. I told him nothing before my exam. When he finished his exam he shared that he saw 1% cataracts, no macular degeneration and no dry eye. Then I told him the back story and he was amazed. He asked how that happened but I did not share because when this type info (natural remedies) gets around, suddenly it’s not available anymore. I’ll just let him wonder. Anyhow, this is the real deal so get some and follow the directions.
@@chasvonplatten1298 Always with 10,000iu of vit D3.
Yes the taste of natto is not easy to accept. This is how I modify the experience, sprinkle with crispy bacon bits, some cilantro, a bit of cheese, I take it with breakfast two soft boiled eggs (soy sauce + white pepper), toast wholemeal bread with butter and black coffee, its great, try it you will enjoy it !
Don't forget that natto has nattokinase in it which is a very potent blood thinner. If a person is already on blood thinners like aspirin or clopidogrel or any of the other anti-platelet anticoagulant drugs, you should discuss it with your doctor before eating natto.
nattokinase is not K2
Thank you for this update the doctor didn't discuss: natto has a potent blood thinner called nattokinase which isn't K2. I take baby aspirin when i feel weird and natto might be a bad idea. I'm going to see my doctor and hopefully get a cardiologist referral and blood work. 54yo, 260#, sedentary except work, 140/80 bp, tachycardia, shortness of breath on minor exertion, hiatal hernia. Lately i get brief spells of tingling in my feet and hands occasional unexplained minor pinpoint pain in arms and upper chest
@@woodstream6137 Hope you have made an appointment to see your doctor, do it today. If it transpires that you have heart disease, have a look at Dr.Esselstyn. Best wishes, Ara
“discuss it with your doctor” 😂😂
Me: Doctor, you think I should take nattokinase?
Doctor: What’s that? No you need to take more statins. My sons going to Harvard next month and I need some extra money.
@@jammin6816 nattokinese was suggested as a supplement to me because of a particular blood test that came back positive. From what I understand supposed to get rid of microscopic blood clots I’m not sure about the other kind.
I had a Japanese student who LOVED natto. He showed it to me and it smelled nauseating! I'm happy for him - he doesn't have to worry about his cardiovascular health. BUT I'm glad to find more palatable alternatives...
Contains Vit K2:
- Natto and fermented food
- Hard cheese
- Chicken breast
- meat
- Egg yolk
Watermelon
Meat and Egg Yolks are not good because of cholesterol.
Cholesterol is good for you.
Eggs are one of the healthiest foods you can eat. It's a myth about cholesterol as dietary intake does not cause furring of the arteries. I've been eating 10-15 of our own eggs all my life and I'm fit as a fiddle.
@@FabulousIdea-xe8gt That is a huge misconception. Eggs and red meat are extremely healthy. Real butter, also.
I have eaten Natto for a few years, it does taste awful, but I have found a workable solution: I take a package out of the freezer, immediately take out the Natto and eat it frozen. This really minimizes the taste, 4 bites washed down with juice or water is all it takes. Not bad at all.
Clever!
i wonder though. the k2 is actually in the slime part not the beans. so it is said to stir it 400 times with chopsticks. that makes the mucus like stuff with the vitamins.
@@catea2551 Oh no, that makes it even more horrible, I assume that's some crazy Japanese masochistic thing.
By eating it frozen, you are killing the microbes.

My Mother and Father are over 91 now. I watch and observe how they eat. Mom has no knowledge of researching the internet. Dad has serious eye issues, si hes not savy to having conputer access. The bith geew up in a Country setting in East Texas. They still eat beans, greens and cornbread...and small amounts of meats. She cooks saurkraut with pork chops and apples and onions. Delicious. I've never bern able to repeat her calf liver dish from how I remembered from my childhood. I loved it! She sauteed it in bacon fat with onions, added a spoon of tomato paste at the end. I cook mine similar and my Husband likes it. But, I try to buy only calf liver, and not finding it lately. Thank you for this info.
We had an advanced body scan in Houston. We are both Diabetic with a high calcium score. I will add foods from your recommendation more often and order the supplements suggested... I would try natto, asking a relative married to a Japanese woman if they consume in a paletable way... I first learned of stir fried rice from eating at their home as a child. I remember squid mentioned. Maybe... Texas Cowgirl kicking up the dust! 🤠
*NOT One of these NarcistScumBags, wiLL Ever RePLy to You!!!!*
In my city we have an Asian supermarket, selling loads of products from China, Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia, Korea and... Japan. They sell the frozen natto in little styrene boxes, 50 g with tiny pouches of mustard and soy sauce. After thawing, and mixing the contents, the natto is pretty OK!
I always enjoy starting to eat it, because I know it is so darn healthy, with the *vitamin K2* *and* the *nattokinase and* the *PPQ*
My advice would be to check out whether there's a place like that in your neighborhood. I wish you success!
So living in the country life, lots of natural light. Sauerkraut for the gut also helps create Vitamin K. Pork chops is high in cysteine, one of the rarest and most important amino acids. They are doing well. God bless your family for tapping into ancient wisdom and living a long life as a result.
Calves liver and sauerkraut are both very high in vitK2.
I hated natto as a kid in Hawaii and refused to eat it again until I was stationed in Japan. Went out to dinner with some locals one night and they asked me to try natto one more time. They mixed into the natto some spicy japanese mustard and tare sauce, green onions. To my surprise I found the natto they prepared so delicious. Yes natto alone is a bit repulsive. But try it with these condiments and some steamed white rice and you might be surprised.
Preparation. In SF Bay Area we have all the cultures. So it’s easy to find.
Yes!
It’s an acquired taste, but once you acquire it, you can’t get enough of it
That’s been my experience. 9/10 of the time I go to my udon shop, I end up ordering the natto udon! 🍜
This dr is calm and looks healthy.
Great, very informative video! Thank you so much, Dr Story-you are saving lives with this information! 🏆
I eat it everyday. I actually crave it now. Try it with a spritz of liquid aminos, some dijon mustard, minced garlic, some wasabi, a drizzle of olive oil, chopped green onions on top. I don’t mix it, just layer it over the natto. Its really good. Oh, and its not just vitamin K, but vitamin K2 that you want, very important. I have a personal angiogram report of my artery going from 50% occlusion to 30% occlusion in about 6 months. It’s really good for your gut health too. You cant beat it. I would not like it served plain. Kind of like plain yogurt. But think of all the ways you can make plain yogurt taste great.
So are you saying you went from 50 to 30 percent blocked after eating this food? My mom had heart disease and she's in calcium and cholesterol pills. Should she be eating this instead?
Natto and D3 with K2. There are also Nattokinese supplements that are good too. Check out heartstrong Neutricuticles. Also, check out Plaquex treatment and supplements. Those combinations helped me. And yes, reduced the soft plaque in my arteries. I have the angiograms to prove it. Diet and exercise is needed too.
Try it with black pepper! So good! ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
Hello. You're my kind of food-flavour-fun creative person and healthy eater, so I greet you! Stay well.
@@crochethooksandbooks OF COURSE!!! Good luck with convincing her !
EXCELLENT. Thank You Doctor...Your Channel is the best health channel on youtube
As a tip; DON'T throw out the sauce and the mustard the natto comes with! Add lots of freshly ground black pepper to the mix and put the whole thing on a buttered toast.😋🤤
LOVE THAT thanks
I buy freeze dried Annatto. It’s called Natto Dry. I get it from Amazon.
I use in my salad or home made soup so you don’t really taste anything bad, because it’s not all moist and slimy either.
I LOVE NATTO. GET IT AT A JAPANESE market in Torrance. and i like the kim- chee I make as well. I have now survived 7 years since heart attack and stint at 63.Doing ok. The fear screwed my arteries and Bp up. First at age 45, when I was accused of 30 crimes by a co- worker and spent 3 years in court. Second time was with a neighbor who started assaulting me all the time when I was 62 and soon started a big bogus law suit . That gave me the heart attack the next year. now i am avoiding trouble and taking good care in retirement. Avoid the legal system at all costs, this is my takeaway!
Will try to improve its taste by mixing with chopped (raw) liver and sardines and chopped up hard-boiled egg and lots of cayenne peffer (similar to a tuna salad). This could be the ultimate super food known to man. Also: If you do not like the taste of something, simply hold your nostrils closed. Guaranteed you will not taste anything (used to do that with prune juice). A big Thanks Doc ! Great information. I'll be sharing it with my family !!
Natto of course
An acquired taste but tasty when combined with steamed jasmine rice
Sliced green onion
Cold pressed sesame oil
Any premium hot sauce
Delish!
Boron is a mineral and a hormone that removes calcium out of soft tissue in the form of stones and taking some chanca piedra nicnamed stonebreaker can reduce the discomfort . I also use D-3 with K-2 and magnesium and horsetail with other minerals and Himalayan salt with a good amount of water. I leave my water out for an hour as chlorine dissipates.
@@kayr4751

@@kayr4751 ok
Was just in Japan a few months ago on business. Yes natto is popular in Japan but not every Japanese person eats it. It seems to be something mothers make at home, children grow up occasionally eating it. Most Japanese eat it; some hate it.
Many foods the Japanese eat are soybean based. Along with matcha green tea and soaking in hot water (onsen) , these are the things the Japanese believe in. They have very good health and very good life expectancy.
... and live long with high cholesterol ... 🙂
@@thaddeusbialic7142 not sure if you’re aware of it but another countries they allow a higher normal level. Inbelieve both the US and Canada both had about 100 higher on the scale as normal a number of years back. Now they dropped the normal values and PUSH STATINS to reduce one’s cholesterol. the reason our cholesterol is up as we actually need it to be healthy. Our body makes it.
I've been eating natto for 38 years, since I started living in Japan. If you want to eat it like the natives you have to tone it down with other foods together. Commonly its eaten by mixing in diced long green onion, raw egg and a dash of soy sauce. Then it's whipped frothy and poured on hot fresh rice. It's very tasty once you get past your cultural inhibition to eating raw egg and the pungent smell of fermented soy bean.
Just normal American here. I discovered Natto on a visit to Japan. I love the taste. The texture takes some getting used to.
An excellent video. I stared taking K2+D3 about 8 years ago because of my heart condition. Relatively "fast" my fingernails got stronger. This was my way to confirm that calcium started leaving my arteries. Unfortunate, my PD was not eager to do a CAC. Well, will ask again. Unfortunately, to my understanding, docs are pushing statins for financial reasons. I like a list of foods with K2 in this video. I was able to stomach duran so, I will try fermented beans ... with a bucket to throw up into. Anyway, we need doctors like Dr. Story. My subjective observation tells me that K2 works. Now, I will check the research area. Thanks!
hi, can you please share which brand of k2 are you taking?
Sprig Valley lately. I was taken what was available in the last 8 years. Good luck. @@Jetsetrichinfo
in the description. There's a link
I think you can pay for a CAC yourself. It's about $150 I don't think insurance covers it yet.
Thanks. Will look into it. 🙂@@artspark7697
I have heard once it's there you can't get rid of it. Had stents done. Emerg surgery. No I didn't even have high BP. But have had afib 7 yrs. Then 2 yrs ago got unstable angina. That was fixed by the stents. Very thankful. I do take K2 with D3.
You said it correctly! Many specialists pronounce it as “nate oh” or “gnat toe” sadly. Used to dislike it but enjoy eating it now.
A good way to remember is ask yourself have I acquired a taste for natto (pronounced not-toe)? And response is not-toe yet. 😂
The pill form of Nattokinase is a bit pricey, I just swallow small spoonfuls of Natto with gulps of water.I don’t need a CAC test, I know I got plenty calcification . Thanks for educating us to this highly beneficial content!
Gross 😨🤮
You could try a.co/d/6i96Wom Also, they make natto freeze dried with eliminates the stringy gooey texture.
Thats good because Nattokinase has no K2 in it! Eat things like pasture raised eggs and saute them in duck fat, which is even higher in K2 than egg yolks. Also hard cheese such as gouda and cheddar but only if it comes from grass fed and finished cows. Same with beef and poultry, butter, ghee, milk - all of these have some K2 ONLY IF they come from grass fed and finished cows.
Could you please elaborate? The whole world is recommending Natto for an extreme amount of k2, and you're saying there's none?
It's not just the taste, the smell is appalling as well. My Naturopath recently told me latest/best research from Japan is MK-4 at 15-45 grams/day. But also, nattokinase that is in natto but in BIG doses. Research showing best results at 10800FU/day. Do both! Nattokinase only stays in circulation for about 8 hours so I take that 2X/day
I’ve been eating Natto for years now. Tastes much better when you add chopped cilantro, green onion or salsa to it. It is certainly an acquired taste but I tend to eat foods I think I need over what tastes great.
Thanks for the tips!
I was excited to see you talk about K2 and D3. My question is about taking L-lisine I'm trying to make sure taking combinations of vitamins is ok.
I enjoy natto on avocado and a little lemon juice, nice with a salad generally too.
Sounds great!

I'm with you. I won't eat natto. I really appreciate the scientific research info.
I am not a fan of the Natto taste but I mix it with Kimchi - another very healthy fermented food - which will mask the Natto taste and the mix is very edible. Benefits are certainly fantastic.
Kimchee is great with natto.
Never had it before. But would like to try it.
When I ended up with calcium plaques in my epidermis, I began taking Super K as a supplement. A year later, my skin has cleared up and I'm a lot less worried about heart disease.
Seriously? K2 clears calcium if had or have even you don’t know
You’re probably not taking enough vitamin D3.
To fight my prostate cancer I needed to, get my vitamin D level up from 30ng/mL to at least 100ng/mL. So I megadosed 100,000 IU of D3 for two weeks, and it worked! my D3 level was 124ng/mL.
Over the next year I took 50,000 IU of D3 a day and my blood serum level went to 235ng/mL(FYI: Vitamin D3 toxicity is a myth).
I cut back to just 10,000 IU of D3 for the next four months and my blood serum level dropped to just 97ng/mL .
Since I still had one tumor, I needed to keep my D3 level up above 100ng/mL, so I took my dosing back up to 40,000 IU a day.
After more than six months, my latest blood test showed my D3 level was just 135.
What all of this means is, my body is using the massive amount of vitamin D3 I am taking.
I took 6000 IU of vitamin D3 for 12 years and my D3 level never rose above 30ng/mL! That meant, although my doctor didn’t recognize it, that I needed a hell of a lot more than 6000 IU of vitamin D3 a day!
D3 is an amazing hormone that we have only just begun to study. Take as much as you need to keep your monster level at at least 100ng/mL.
Or not. What do I know? I’m just a prostate cancer survivor.
FYI: I take about 900ng of K2 a day, divided unequally between MK-7 and MK-4.
The only problem is that, as you say, we've only started to study D3. Blood levels give a view of absorption combined with usage and they don't actually show how efficiently you are using D3 and for which purposes. Absorption and usage efficiency are effected by your genetics and possibly other things going on in your body.
El año pasado el cardiólogo me receto tomar 100.000 UI de D3 cada 15 dias, en una de las tomas, la dosis de 100,000 UI de D3, a las pocas horas tenia fiebre y taquicardia, duro solo 10 unas horas

Facts.
I’m also obese and an insulin-dependent diabetic. Big influences on absorption.

Thank you Dr for your info. The calcium test usually you have to pay for it, insurances don’t pay for it
CAC test is B.S. does not tell you what's on the inside only the outside .... my score was 6300..... way over the max of 400 after all the heart scans treadmill no blockage in the inside take the test with a grain of salt and go see a cardiologist if you really want to know what's going on.
I ate all those foods, took all those supplements. STILL ended up with a HUGE roto - rooter job, with a STENT at the end. My " cardio meal "' at the hospital included 7 packs of regular sugar with every single coffee, French toast with some liquid sweet thing, muffin ( I think it was blueberry ), oatmeal, bagel, rice, potato, margarine, egg whites ONLY ! No salt, regular scrambled eggs, or boiled eggs, no bacon either ! I just had portion of it, still I didn't had this much carbs in 3 months at home !
Years ago I had an open heart surgery, with a double bypass and fixing two valves. Turned out ONE of the vein they used, it disappeared ! I never heard anything like this in my life !!! What happened to it ?! Where did it go ?! 😮
Oh and I have to take a small suitcase medication top of that !: Daily !!!
Hospitals have NO clue on nutrition. Serving cold dairy products to people with weak digestion. SMH...
Great advice. My kids don't eat things because of the taste. Reckon you can push through and do natto and sauerkraut.
The problem is the clotting under the plaquing of the arteries. Nattokinase, (Proteolytic Enzyme, 2,000 FUs) can be purchased from the internet, it is a pill and not that muck Natto. It starts to take away a clot within hours of consuming it. There is another enzyme Serrapeptase is a type of enzyme produced by silkworms, cleans up scar tissue. The molecule needed is too big for the stomach lining, however the body does receive this. The aim is to make the arteries flexible and strong, without any plaquing or clotting. The skin on your body as an example is smooth, and has no scarring. The calcium is another matter, surely, the amount of calcium is taken largely by K2. The skin is fixed with true vitamin c, e, d, b the inflammation can be dealt with curcumin or turmeric. The stomach biome should be repaired first, leaky gut will send all sorts of nasties into your blood vessels. Breathing chemicals, eating cornstarch and wheat are too dangerous to consume when fixing the blood vessels. The reason for this is the lectins and the large amount of phosphorous/phosphates in these foods. They will make holes in the stomach lining. The penis is a blood flow organ, it is a symptom if you cannot stay erect. The blue pills might help, however you will need stronger and stronger pills to maintain it. Oils, come into play, olive oil, helps, castor oil helps. Topically and also digested. L-citrulline, L-argentine with pine bark extract might help by boosting up the flexibility of the vessels and promote healing and sexual health. Cavadex has been banned in Australia, for some reason, this could stave off the need for surgery. Good news is www.cholrem.com is the same item, however rectally inserted. A safe and effective sugar molecule which eliminates plaques and cleans blood vessels. It is a back door to cleaning out arteries. www.cholrem.com
I,m in the UK and ended up in hospital a lot of times due to heart problems no tests were done to find out how healthy my heart arteries are, I am reliant on American medical doctors for information for my health, this country is poor and getting poorer, thanks for the advice.

Watch a lot of functioning medicine. This has really help. Uk doctors only treat symptoms not root of the problem
You're relying on the U.S? 😂😂😂

Been taking it for over 9 months and at age 78 bp is 122 over 69. Eat a lot of kale also.9 months ago had that test done and % 67 of artery blockage.Life style change was made.

@@captainadams7569 I wish people would explain what they mean properly. People can’t communicate effectively or answer questions properly. Including the doctors. It’s so frustrating.
My CAC score was 220 in Sept '23. I tried Natto and thought it was OK. Put it on Rice with Japanese mustard and soy sauce ( low sodium). I also eat saurkraut and kimchi when I'm in Mexico and can't get these foods I take 2 capsules of 1000 d3 120 mcg k2 every day. I'm hoping my osteoporosis and CAC improve.
You have a start. But for me it's a little short changed.
I would suggest Dr. Kate Rheaume-Bleue book "K2 and the Calcium Paradox " her latest recommendation is 100mcg of K2-MK7 per 1000i.u of D3. You can take more K2-MK7 as it's not toxic. Also check your D3 level and adjust from there. Mine is 60ng/dl and I take 2400mcg of K2-MK7 with 5000i.u of D3 summer and 10,000i.u winter.
If you really want to work on osteoporosis I would take both K2-MK7 and K2-MK4. Dr. Kate recommends 45,000mcg of K2-MK4 per day. It has a short half life but it is different than K2-MK7 in that it strengthens bones internally better than K2-MK7. My wife has osteoporosis and her bone density has improved dramatically. Since I'm 68 I have decided to as well.
What people and most doctors don't realize is that once you have a Calcium Score you litterially have a focal vitamin C deficiency. I got on the Linus Pauling Heart Protocol and have reversed my CAC Score by 30% after 30 months! Imagine that! When we are told routinely it's not reversible.
But here's a link to what's going on.And not only that but many other benefits as well. Shocking!

You CAC will never decrease. You can only slow its progression. Also, D3 is a form of Calcium. Look at the ingredients, “Cholecalciferol.” I take K2 MK7 but I refuse to add additional calcium via supplements into my arteries. I get vitamin D from the sun.
I purchased a vitamin D /UV sun lamp a couple of years ago I use it in the winter, and when the weather isn’t sunny closest thing to natural sunlight for vitamin D, the company is called SPERTI. Great video Adam
Great Video Doctor. What about taking Nattokinase 800mg / 4000fu as a daily supplement? I am taking it daily along with NAC and L-Arginine for heart health.
You are doing the right thing, keep it up!
can u take natto with k2?
Nattokinase does not have any K2 in it. It must be Natto from fermented non-gmo soy beans, if you are trying to take Nattokinase for the K2. I take Nattokinase as well but not for K2. For K2, I take Australian Emu oil capsules.
Nattokinase studies for bloodclots saying that you must have 10500 FU per day so 4000 is to low
Grew up on a grain farm. Smell and taste is no problem. Love it with onion greens over rice. Uh oh, I’m low carb so no rice.
Adam you can eat it. It took me only about 3 years to acquire a taste for it but I do in fact eat it every day M-F now. Just natto by itself, no soy sauce, no mustard, no rice, just pure natto.
This is the first time I've heard one of your videos I heard many others but I like yours straight and to the point not click here and have to lesion to long story's. so I subscribe look forward to your next video😊
Chaga is also good for keeping the blood in a good shape and it even increases the NKC by 300 % if you read about it.
I love natto! I add chopped kiwi on arugula and protein on top! ❤
I take EDTA and have done so for 20 years.
What brand do you use? Thank you in advance.

I have some Tetrasodium EDTA, can you share how you take yours and do you replace minerals every day too?

@@jansymons8646 I take mine at night with a bottle of water and then in the morning take a multivitamin
I have been dealing with high blood pressure nd my doctor wanted me to see a heart doctor. The heart doctor did a calcium level test and my numbers were elevated. The heart doctor wants me to take a stain, and baby aspirin and see him again in 6 months. I am not wanting to get started on a statin and my ultimate goal is to try to get off the blood pressure meds through better eating, loosing weight and exercise. I started supplementing with nitric oxide supplement and was able to drop my BP more that 10 points on both ends so far. I am glad I came across this as I am defiantly going to add K2 to my list.
I am currently taking 4000 iU of D3 and 200 mcg of K2 as MK 7 also taking 100 mg of Co Q 10 along with other supplements. Trying my best to stay off of prescription drugs 😊
I am doing the same. It is helping me. By BP this morning was in the 130s with only one medication.
Same thing here. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I take 40’000 iu daily of D3 mixed with K2.
What are the other supplements you are taking, please.
@@firstpestcontrol276😳
Ah dear Doc sauerdraut is again something that does take a while to get used to but hey it IS the highest form of Vit C we can eat!! plus its the cheapest form as well. so at age 77 I now have it daily along with my Natto. ... Love from the Gold Coast again! xoxox Julie
Sauerkraut is fermented and crucipherous as well. A double help.
We moved into a HOA that has it's own community well water. It's full of calcium, noticed our hair and fingernails growing faster than normal. This is not an ad but the Zero water filter is the only one that removes calcium.
try Reverse Osmosis filter...works really well.
I drink almost a quart of milk a day and have crappy nails
Thank you for this vital information. I have been researching so much! I am now taking K2 supplement in addition to foods as well as D3 and a hood multi. Very wise advice.
Glad it was helpful!
Doctor, I eat natto everyday plus take a K2 supplement. You get used to the texture of natto pretty fast and it is so healthy for you. I take it straight.
I buy natto at the asian grocery store. It would be in the frozen food section. It is sold in small stuyrafome containers. It is not expensive. @@libertybelle8244
Thankyou..simple and very easy to understand presentation.
Hi Adam,
Thank you this may help.
I eat my NATTO drink it down with water and it's fine 😅😊
Thanks for making this video. Please take care, everyone.
Natto kinase is a very good supplement for blood pressure and reducing blockages , since I have been taking it my BP is never above 115/75
can you explain it to me how much you take and how often and how long did it take to lower your bp?
There is a study where they took 10000 fu a day divided over the day on a empty stomach plus a baby aspirin and it reduced plaque I think it said by 30% over 6 months. I started taking it and after a week I noticed my BP went down quite a bit. If you’re not worried about plaque you might be able to take less. It also thins your blood so if you’re taking blood thinners be careful
I have no idea how many pills that is lol. I did buy some niacin today@@richardmoeller3143
Lumbrokinase and serrapeptase too.
Hello.
Any thoughts on the recent studies showing possible benefits of flushing niacin regarding heart disease?
Thanks Dr. I've never heard of that fermented bean. Can't stand sauerkraut. I'm 65 years old male. Bike 8 flat miles/ day. Five days a week.
Luckily i became used to Natto after eating it several times. The Japanese figured out that eating Natto with green fleshed Kiwi fruit it helps strengthen the bones in osteoporosis. For some reason the yellow fleshed Kiwi doesn't work. I mash the natto with a fork and swirl it together with the kiwi.
I heard a doctor on UA-cam say that kiwis help you to make new stem cells! So maybe yes there is something to research. I started making my smoothies with green kiwis for a while. Hard to keep up. Probably need to start again🤷♀️
I was so disappointed when I was diagnosed with osteopenia, they told me take extra calcium and vitamin D, not a single mention of vitamin K2 which I take for yrs now. I take vitamin D all the time sadly I’ve never been able to get my vitamin D past 46. And I mean I’m taking 5000 to 20,000 every day of a quality vitamin D
I have a vitamin D receptor missing says my DNA report. So that explains a lot of my issues.
And I have a family member who really needs to take vitamin K, but they listen to their doctor and their doctor never mentioned vitamin K to them either even though they have high blood pressure even though they have suspected artery issues. I will send him this. Thank you so much.
Also tell them to ASK the doctor. Often doctors don't mention it unless you ask.
You're exactly right with vitamin k2, but you're missing out on another key factor which is D3. K2 removes calcium from arteries and d3 helps put calcium where it should go. I had a widow maker heart attack at 35 and have done a ton of research since
Adam mentions the benefits of D3 at 6:25.
I have that too. My cardiologist told me he wasn’t worried about the calcification in the vein as it was holding back the soft hot plaque. He was more concerned with the other soft plaque without the calcification.
I’m taking the D3 K2 spray bit concern ed what would happen if it removes the calcification holding back the plaque in the widow maker. Not sure what to think anymore. If you don’t mind me asking; what have you been doing to help with this issue?
D3 does NOT put calcium where it should go. K2 does that. D3 simply gathers up the calcium in your bloodstream but then does nothing with it. Thats why K2 is needed to move it to the bones. Without K2, the osteocalcin proteins will be inactive and the calcium gathered up by D3 will be deposited into the arteries instead of moved to the bones. K2 is the vitamin that activates the osteocalcin ready to move calcium to the bones, not D3.
@@-xyz-012 Great question, actually the MOST important question that no one ever answers!
The BEST: Vitamin D3 + Vitamin K2 (MK7) + Magnesium + Small Spoon of Olive oil
I had a calcium CT scan of 1188 13 years ago, and have taken jarrow mk-7 since then, and so far no “events”, but it’s still early in the day.
I’m 71 yr old female and I had a silent heart attack 18 months ago. One major cardiac artery 90% blockage, almost no pain or symptoms. Anyway I was taken to cardiac emergency and had a stent inserted, receive a bucket of Rx drugs, including VERY high doses of a statin. I had a lot of side effects and got off those within 3 weeks and then began titrating the other drugs down with the help of my doctor. I was learning a lot about K2 f D3 and I got myself dosed double the K2 and 5000 D3 twice daily. A few days later I noticed my teeth were getting fuzzy, with soft plaque, especially on the front lower teeth, right next to major salivary glands. I was a dental assistant years ago and I take good care of my teeth so I was aware and cleaning my teeth several times per day. This lasted for about 5 months or so and has dissipated but not totally gone. Question: was this the calcium being pulled out of my arteries?? I had a full cardiac ultrasound, echo, etc at my 1 year post heart attack and they found everything to be in very good shape. I still take quite a range of anti-inflammatory supplements twice daily including the K2 and D3, and I don’t take calcium supplements or consume dairy. My doctor has no idea and I’m curious. Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately I don't have any ideas to answer your question. But I read that you wrote that 2x a day you take 5000 Vitamin D3 which is a total of 10,000 D3 per day. But this is really too much. You may have poisoning. Doctors recommend a maximum of 2000 D3 per day.
You say you take anti-inflammatory supplements. Could you tell me the name of these anti-inflammatories you take? Thanks in advance 🙏
@@vesnapejin2609 "Drs"
Most can't be trusted 😞 unfortunately
I take 5000 mg of Vitamin D3
I billion ppl world wide have very low Vit D levels
Have you had a CaC scan done?
Keep the carbs, Refined foods, highly processed industrial seed oils down, or not at all possible. and then space she meals apart to bring the insulin levels down between meals. I would think that you have to go buy what works for your body. I know there’s other things out there that people do that say they reverse heart disease I don’t want to give you advice as I don’t know what would work best for you. different folks on different end of the spectrum of dietary habits have reversed heart disease.
Sounds like you are doing perfectly fine, as confirmed by examination. Simply keep doing exactly what you observe is working.
@@vesnapejin2609bull! There is no such thing as a vitamin D overdose.
Youre such a gem!! I love your honesty - hahah I am eating This and as I have a vivid imagination I seem to be able to handle it; however when I commenced it I have to say that I did have a few moments of eeeek can I do this! lol. Anyway I am sad you cant eat it but I do understand where youre coming from. I have their soy sauce with it. xxx Julie, GOld Coast
Yes, Natto is one of the very few foods with K2. It is not that bad but has a slimy texture which people don't like.
When I was laid up healing from broken ankle, I was supplemanting with K2, my nails grew very quickly.
I love nattkinase... use honey and Wasabi sauce. Tastes good ❤
Sounds great!
Try eating natto mixed with something else. There are all kinds of combos where it will seem just like an added teaspoon of hotdog-and-beans. Question: will cooking natto destroy the K2? If not, then there are even more ways to fix the ick problem.
I tried it & stirred it & took it with some noodles & seasoning. Not so bad that way..
I will continue taking natto capsules. It for sure thins the blood some. All I really know is that taking natto, beet root and citrulene have greatly improved my condition of having a weaker than normal heart.
I admire the finest standard pronunciation that let us enjoy the Hollywood films in the 50's or 60's as a starting point of modernism that died in postmodernism nowadays. The resting part will be added as a matter of fact.
Excellent video summary! Does the appearance of a small bone bump or spur indicate an imbalance between D3 and K2?
That’s a great question. I always thought it just meant too much calcium and never looked further into it. Now I’m wondering what causes it.
I’d like to know this too. I’ve been an avid supplementer of both D and K and I have two tiny bony bumps in my gums. The oral surgeon says he sees this all the time so it’s probably not related. But I do think about this from time to time.
Nottokinase & Serrapeptase! thank you
I discovered natto a few months ago and have taken to it like a carpet beetle to a rug. Now I eat it every day. Why not just disguise the taste a bit if you don't like it? I make an omelet out of it sometimes with a little cheese and greens. Or you might have it with kimchi. But then if you don't like saurekraut you probably don't like kimchi either. Well, then maybe a bit of mustard instead. Don't be such a fusspot. :)
i agree. this just promotes the old western fussing....oh it smells and oh its gross. i can't do it waaaaaaaaa.
I have a tip for people who doesn't like the taste of sauerkraut ( for a medium bowl or two handfull of sourkraut, the ratio is not strict). I add grated 1 bigger carrot or 2 small, 1 apple, 1 tbs sugar, a bit pepper and pinch of salt. Mix and squeeze with a hand, the best, until you get a juicy mix. I eat mostly with a fry fish and mash potato. Or you can find your own variations.
Forgot about to add olive oil or different oil then mix. Thank you.
Has anyone mentioned taking oil soluble vitamins like D3 with a meal containing fat for better absorption?
Thanks so much
how about drinking a glass of warm water with a tablespoon of ACV with a tablespoon of lemon juice added daily first thing in the morning? Would that help with keeping out calcium in the arteries?
GOOD synthesis doc👍🏻
K2 and Berberine
A friend of mine has ordered the MK7-K2& D3 for me, I’m also taking magnesium and zinc & mega B. and zinc
Is K2 needed for absorption of vitamin D when that viatmin D is derived from sunlight exposure?
I love natto. I eat it everyday with fermented veggies.
What about Nattokinase? What about vitamin K also improving blood clotting? Will that have the opposite effect in people that have to thin their blood?
The research is in the description if you want to read it.
I prefer the LEF supplement in gelcap form. It hedges your as it provides multiple forms.
So I assume you are referring to hard plaque? What happens to soft plaque with k2 m7?
Many thanks for sharing. I love your videos
Any studies or anecdotes from people that ate natto for 6 months, a year or any time frame and their calcium score actually going down? I see a lot of people that eat natto or supplements commenting but none that actually say they’ve reduced their calcium score.
Cholesterol and triglicerides were off the charts. Calcium score was O so lucky. Lot of work on diet and fitness to do.
Very true!
I LOVE natto! There are many ways to tart it up so you can eat it without gagging! So glad to hear from you that natto is doing the job I've hired it to do. Can you take nattokinase instead of eating natto?
Yes you can. Just go online and look up Nattokinase supplements! 👍🏾
