  • Stop taking that calcium supplement, it's not helping your bones, and it IS increasing your risk of serious medical problems. I know, I know, we've been told for years it was vital for bone health, but it's not.
    Stop drinking more than one small glass of milk daily. If you don't like milk then don't drink it at all. It doesn't help your bones, and definitely increases your risk of serious medical issues.
    You don't need calcium supplements for your bones, but I will tell you what you do need.

    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. Ate margarine, no eggs, vegetable oils............ keto would have prevented. It breaks my heart, as it does yours. You are quite right!

    Perfect video. My mother was like you, a milk baby. She drank milk, age yogurt and cheese daily. She also took a calcium supplement daily, per her doctor's recommendation. 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

And I was horrified when I very reputable spine surgeon suggested I may need to take Fosamax and did not wish to concurr what I mentioned about the necrosis...I am so grateful for doctors like Dr Berry ..who are really concerned about and value the health and well being of patients. My son went through med school..took nutrition..always told me to try to get nutrients from good foods

    • @pabloblanco2656
      @pabloblanco2656 2 роки тому +2

      @@angelicafreund8551 yes your son is correct. Prescription drugs can NEVER give you nutrition and there is no better source of nutrients than food and milk is food. 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.

    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

    I wish I would have known this years ago. I don't drink milk anymore but I have been taking calcium supplements for years. I've had heart issues since I was 50 ( 3 stents and last year quad bypass) I am 64 now. 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. I'm going to pose the calcium question the next time I have to see my family Dr or cardiologist. I'm sure they won't be thrilled with me questioning their treatment !!

    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.

And have plans of increasing my daily exercise bike routine to include a good long walk which I think is the best exercise I can get for free.

      Well done. If you convert milk into kefir, you will remove nearly all the lactose (happens during the fermentation where the lactose sugars are converted to friendly bacteria). You will then be drinking one of the healthiest drinks going and helping your gut health hugely.

    This makes sense. So, I will continue with my vitamin D3 supplement, but discontinue the calcium citrate. I'm 75, and have been taking the calcium citrate for about two years after being diagnosed with osteopenia. They wanted me to take alendronate, but I found out that it can be harmful. 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). By the way, since learning about this, I've found other doctors who agree that the calcium supplements should be stopped. Thumbs up and subscribed.

      @Lisa I would never recommend taking calcium supplements even when taking k2. I'm not sure if there is any proof that k2 will remove calcium from soft tissues like arteries as many people claim. Best thing you can do for bones (in my opinion) is taking optimal levels of vitamin d3 with a quality magnesium supplement like glycinate or citrate and vitamin k2 of the mk7 kind as it stays in the system longer.

    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.

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.

    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. Thank you in advance !!!
