    In full agreement with you Dr Berry. Been trying to tell my family forever. Haven't drunk milk since I was 2. Im 59. I told them, humans are the only "critter" to drink milk past infancy. Good gracious...Adult cows MAKE milk, but do not drink it. They eat their greens. Not a Dr or RN. A retired CNA, with a little common sense. Loving your videos.

    My mom never drank milk nor took calcium supplements. She did eat a cup of cottage cheese regularly and ice cream occasionally throughout her life tho. She was also practically completely bedridden for decades. She fell twice in her 90s. The dr couldn’t believe she didn’t break anything. She lived until 97.

    Dr Berry, Thank you for spreading the word! I wish I’d found your channel sooner. Perhaps it could have extended my 88-yo Mom’s life. She drank milk daily and took daily calcium supplements for severe osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Earlier this year, she fell, broke her hip and, post surgery, was gone within 24 hours. Scans revealed severe coronary artery calcification and a evidence of a heart attack before after the fall (or during surgery). She was slender, non-smoker, non-drinker who avoided exercise and loved her (“diet”) cookies and ice cream. She was of the generation that bought the hype that (nutritionless) low cal, low fat, high-carb processed diet food was “healthy.” She suffered from numerous systemic diseases, including acid reflux, hiatal hernia, hypothyroid, diverticulitis, depression, IBS, retinopathy and spinal stenosis. She spent the last 2 years of her life in a wheelchair, visiting doctors. Yet she had 5 MD specialists (cardiologist, pulmonologist, internist, gastroenterologist, ophthalmologist and pain management team) who failed to collectively put 2 + 2 together and diagnose her with insulin resistance and systemic inflammation. My living tribute to her is to take your advice, educate myself and others and avoid her mistakes. She was an artist whose mind was sharp until her final day. Following your plan, she might have lived to 100, as she was SO (blindly) conscientious about her health, and did everything her doctors recommended. I will certainly share your channel with others.

      about diet. Believed them all. Was lied to all her life. With macular degeneration she was virtually blind for her last 5 years.

    This is absolutely true. I used CalCMag for +/- 6 years. I am 67 and in good health. All of a sudden I got some nasty pains in my lower back. I had it for about 6 months and being health conscious tried to do some research by myself. I started with the CalCMag and discovered that my kidney tubes were block due to the calcium making a lining in my tubes. I immediately stopped it and after 3 days the pain went away. I had to clean the kidney tubes with beer to wash away the build-up that caused a very uncomfortable urination. Since then I have been healed. My nephew drinks calcium for years and was always complaining about his prostate. He is 54. I warned him against calcium, but he would not listen. Then one day he said that he has heartburn, which he never gets. It turned out to be a heart attack in the making. 3 days later he got the attack. He had to undergo surgery for 4 stents in his heart. He bought CalCMag again after the op. I fought with him every day and finally said to him that I am tired of fighting and asked him to watch your video. He finally believed me and said that it makes perfect sense what you say, after I forced him to watch and listen to your video. Thanks Dr Berry, it was very interesting

Post menopause, she was diagnosed with osteopenia. A few years later she was prescribed Fosamax, only to fall and brake a hip. Do NOT drink milk, take calcium supplements or take bone-enhancing drugs.

      True about calcium supplements but NOT true about milk. They are COMPLETELY different. Milk is in part what makes babies bones grow (and sleep too). When was the last time you saw a baby drinking plants ? Calcium that comes from milk is in natural form so it's not bad for you. Calcium supplements on the other hand are not natural. They are synthetic and they cause kidney stones because they usually are manufactured from limestone rock and form carbonate whereas there is no rock in milk

Just make sure it's not commercial milk which would be the store brand. It's not milk that's bad for anyone - it's the poison the jackass farmers inject the cows with to increase their profit. If you drink milk make sure it's organic. My grandmother drank milk her entire life and NEVER had a single fracture and lived to be 95 years old. What more proof does anyone need that milk is not bad.

You need barely any calcium from your diet as an adult, you've got tons of it in storage that your body can just pull from in case there's an increased demand and during stages where calcium is available in the diet, it'll be stored.

    I just found this video and about had a heart attack. I’ve been taking calcium supplements for about 5 years. I switched to calcium when I took myself off of fosamax. I was on fosamax for 12 years because I was told that I had osteopenia. Wake up call was when I was just walking into my kitchen my femur snapped in two and I landed on the floor. I now have a rod in my femur to hold it together because the break has not fused 100%. Only about 60%of the bone fused. Took me 10 years and 6 orthopedic doctors before one would listen to me about feeling pain around the fracture. It’s in your head they said. Finally found one who took X-rays, MRI, CTs and really Looked at them. He looked at me and said you have a Bisphosphonate fracture. I literally cried because someone validated what I had known for years. The year before I had a small fall and shattered my wrist. No more calcium for me. Thank so much for these wonderful videos.

    I'm 77, a month ago fell hard, full body weight, onto my left knee on concrete, caught myself with hands, knee hurt like a son of a gun!. Nothing broke, a bit of swelling, a slight bruise showed in 2 days, no pain in activity at all, no compromise of function, but I did stop jogging just in an abundance of caution. Only some lingering tenderness on the point of impact for maybe 3 weeks. I did a bit of ice packs, did compression wraps a few hours a day. So I have been on a very low carb to carnivore diet for many years, almost no milk, just HWC in coffee, always vit D, never calcium supplements. I've been a jogger, hiker, walker for 50 years, plus lots of heavy outdoor work and horses...still going strong. I'm only a single case, but I do prove his points.

    It’s disappointing that there was no mentioning of peri- and post-menopause and their effects on bone health in this video. Women need to know that estrogen loss causes major bone loss. This is established scientific fact. Yet most women are not aware until they sustain a fracture. This doctor missed an opportunity to reach women here and put it on their radar for further exploration, if nothing else. Menopause and its consequences for a woman’s long-terms health is still a very neglected topic.

Anyway, a friend of mine gave me some kettle bells and dumbbells, so will increase exercising with those. I also play tennis as often as possible. At least two or three times a week. Every day if it's not raining. I don't use milk at all, and have never had kidney stones. I'm glad I found this out about calcium. Thanks for your video(s).

    The problem with current Calcium supplements is that the biodisponibility is very low. Less than 30% of the calcium you take, goes into your bloodstream. The rest, that's 70% goes to your linphatic system, your kidneys.
    As soon as a new technology for calcium biodisponibility is available, I agree with this video. But I've heard that a new calcium supplement is on its way. ..

(Ie: Who are “they“ who did these “BIG studies“ @ 3:02 in Video ??? - Which Studies??? )
    Also we are depleting our soil’s of Calcium at a rate of about approximately 1% a year… I would be curious to hear his advice for how we could correct for this loss of calcium in our diet - now and more so in the future… or perhaps re-mineralizing our soil with Calcium (and other essential minerals) will be the ultimate solution???
    Dr. Berry, Thanks for the info, but please cite your sources of studies below your video (or at least one or two studies)... So that your viewers don’t have to solely rely on YOUR “Expert Opinion” alone. Thank you.

    My question is, what age do you recommend for children to stop milk? I have a Day Care and we are required by the state to serve milk twice a day. If they are over 18 month we are required to serve 1% milk. I can honestly say 90% of the kids have chronic constipation. I am positive it’s from the milk they drink (along with the pop tarts and bagged muffins they bring in everyday)
    One of my son in laws was raised on a dairy and he totally believes in drinking milk. Just the thought of drinking milk now turns my stomach.

I have never been informed about calcium not being good for my heart and I've seen many cardiologists and done cardiac rehab 3 separate times. So much for the bone density tests they do on you for a physical. I did weight training and cardio for most of my life. It's just in the last few years because of health issues that I stopped weight training. Guess I'll be getting back into the gym for weight lifting. I do take vitamin D daily as I'm aware of the need for that. Thank you for sharing such good info Dr Berry. I think I'll be watching your videos more now.

    Dr. Berry, I use to take a calcium supplement, but for some reason just quit, and after watching your video, I'm glad I did. However, I was a huge milk drinker and would drink a least a half a gallon a day. I was told when I was young, that when I went through menopause, my symptoms would be hardly nothing, and I had no hot flashes or anything that goes with menopause. I just quit having a menstrual cycle and that's it. Since menopause however, I don't want milk or desire it. A gallon now lasts me about 2 weeks or I try and drink it before the expiration. I do love a glass of very cold milk from time to time. I know there is something that they add in milk, that calms you down. I have very bad nervous and when there really bad, I drink some milk and it calms me down. I do take mediccation for it as well. If you could give me some feed back on this, I'd appreciate it.

    The video that plays after yours says we’re dying from too much fat. He also believes a calorie is a calorie. He also advises a low fat, low calorie diet. He says women need less than men & short people need less. So according to him, I will lose a pound a week on a 1400 calorie diet or less.

Just had a bone-density test and I was scored a 98% density. No porous or brittle bones at all. Never had a bone fracture in my life. But I've cut back on milk recently because of mild kidney issues. Magnesium, on the other hand, is one of the best minerals on planet earth!!!😉

      Most Americans are deficient in magnesium. We need magnesium, calcium, D3 and K2 taken together.
      The K2 de calcifies soft tissue and directs calcium away from soft tissue and towards bones and teeth. D3 also helps with this process.
      Do NOT take calcium without the supplements I listed above according to many knowledgable doctors.

    GREAT VIDEO and INFORMATION. I had my bone density test about 1 month ago and was told that my spine T-score was a negative -1.67 and my hip T-score was negative -0.6. So based on that their diagnosis was osteopenia. I was advised to increase my consumption of vitamin D3 to 4000 and my calcium to 1200. Back in 2014 my bone density was normal. I am confused because I was brisk walking about 3 times a week with very little weight lifting along with taking Vitamin D3 and a vegan multi-vitamin. I am post- menopausal but not taking any HRT. So my questions are:
    1. Should I take the Vitamin K with the Vitamin D3
    2. What could have caused the mild bone loss at my age of 49
    3. Is it reversible with heavier lifting weights?
    4. Will eating foods high in calcium help with making stronger bones too?
    I am not going to take the Calcium anymore but want to make sure that I am doing everything right to not have the osteopenia develop into osteoporosis. Please advise and thanks in advance.

Over the last 2 years i was not able to afford organic vegies so i stopped eating large amounts of leafy greens, beetroot. I now only make bone broth occasionaly. Stopped eating tinned sardines, liver, kidney, heart meat and mullet because the amines give me fibromyalgia and severe leg cramps.

      A medical doctor's "strength" lies in their ability to write prescriptions for medications. Why would any of us go to a main stream doctor - this excludes Dr. Berry, of course - for help with this bone strength problem? We need real solutions not RX prescriptions. Dr. Berry is offering these suggestions because they work. Many other functional/integrative medicine doctors (these are M.D.', too, just more enlightened, results-oriented M.D.'s) also recommend this same method as Dr. Berry...but those who only offer prescription medication solutions aren't advocates of functional medicine.
