My mother was advised by her doctor for years to take calcium supplements, and 3 years ago she had a stroke. She was always healthy for an eighty years old, ate from home most of the time, lots of veggies and good proteins, plus she went to the gym twice a week. The stroke changed everything, and I always wondered why this happened to her! Now, I have a better understanding! I can't say for sure the calcium supplements caused it, but I do have my doubts.

Dr berg my Doctor told me to take calcium and after 5 day I didn’t felt good, somethings told me to stop take calcium, and now i know that I was right. Thank you you are the dr for all the world, every country respect you and love you. God bless you and your family.💗

My knee was an unexpected result. I used the apple vinegar and water like you suggested. Thanks a lot for your advice.
Thanks for letting us know this Dr Berg. I've been reading labels. I see almond milk and coconut milk all have added CALCIUM CARBONATE. I was using these on the keto diet. Not going to use anymore, as I've had some of the symptoms you mentioned.
My former doctor told me to take calcium carbonate for the rest of my life, my ankle hearts so much now I can't move & my kidney hearts a little bit so as soon as I can function I will go make calcium test , I hope it's today, thanks doctor, that was very helpful
No, he won’t unless he gets paid for it. Either you pay for the consultation or buy his extremely expensive supplements. These days he is not even treating, he strictly only does seminars or videos.
Dr Berg puts of invaluable information that is worth volumes, I noticed you’re on here getting information you’re not paying for and also he is not forcing anyone to buy his supplements which are some of the best in the world, he has thousands of videos on his website which covers almost any subject you may be wanting him to answer on here, he is a precious honest source of yes FREE information, shame on anyone complaining about not getting one on one free information, he is busy researching to transfer his hard work on to us to save our lives, go to your regular MD and get your this kind of valuable information, ain’t gonna happen

I have excess calcium. I have had a stroke. Both carotid arteries are blocked , left completely, right 60 % blocked. Neurologist say there's nothing they can do. I take Krill Oil and Magnesium daily. What else can I do to get rid of my excess calcium?
I don’t know what to believe. Previous to this video, I saw a researcher from a medical university who said their research just came on a new discovery-that calcium carbonate in the “environment “ of their dish of cancer cells stopped cancer cells from growing. When they stopped the calcium cabonate, the cancer came back. Also a study on vertigo showed that balancing calcium carbonate with Vitamin D improved patients with vertigo by a huge percentage. Too much confusing information.
Thanks Doc. I’m taking Calcium and noticed bad things happening. I saw someone’s comment to watch your vid so I did. It make sense. Thank you again! I’ll follow you
What about eggshells? They are made of calcium carbonate yet many Doctors recommend using them as a calcium source (by boiling and baking them to sterilize and then grinding them up into powder). So does this video also apply to eggshells?
just as the note to add, calcium carbonate is the cheapest! pharma saving $$$$ on expensive vitamins supplements. Notice as well micro milligrams off more more $$$$$ vitamins in you daily suppl.B12, b6, k, etc.dr. Berg is actually use the education in proper way ! Tremendously appreciated from me.
Just think about things and you'll get there. For example: Eat fat, you get fat. We all know this is false. Insulin determines fat storage, not fat. Sugar impacts insulin far more than fat. Now, alkaline: just because you eat alkaline, does that make your body alkaline? And if so, what part of your body is alkaline? Stomach? Sm-Intestine? Lg-intestine? Saliva? Skin? Blood? Ingesting alkaline food doesn't mean you get alkaline. Your ph is determined by your body's homeostatic systems. Blood ph does not change (7.35-7.45) no matter what you eat, or else you'd die. It does affect urine ph, but urine is how your body maintains homeostasis: it excretes whatever you have excess of. This is the way it is supposed to work.
dobra malinovica the research shows that the keto diet is very unhealthy actually. The only diet shown to prevent, treat and even reverse diseases like cancers, heart disease and autoimmune diseases is the whole food plant based diet.
+Rube i dont care about reasearch. I see the result on my body. I loose weight, any sickness, lot of energy and feeling great. I never believed in "reasearchs". Dont forget that "reaserch companies" works for pharma companies...
Rube, we cant have a nutrition discussion without vegans flooding us with mis-information. The vegan or Whole Food form of veganism has not been proven superior at all. When corrected for confounders, meat eaters do just as well. There is absolutely nothing harmful about a keto diet that is done properly. Check your facts.
I've always taken smaller amounts of Calcium Citrate with D3/K2 & Magnesium, but after checking this out I think I will dump the Calcium and keep the rest. Thanks Dr Berg
I’ve been put on Calcium carbonate with vitamin D3 due to being started on 60 mg Prednisolone a day for Minimal Change disease (kidneys). I was told this would protect my bones? I’ve also been put on Lansoprazole 30 mg to protect my stomach. Could this actually be beneficial in this circumstance?
Your absolutely correct. Both parents took calcium supplements for years. They both had hypercalcemia of the aorta and arteries both needed heart surgery and the surgeon said they were full of calcium And ironically both got cataracts.
I noticed Dr. Berg uses calcium lactate in his supplements. He also recommended calcium citrate instead of calcium carbonate in another video he posted on PMS.
Calcium carbonate is basically Tums. So taking that every day is going to mess up the stomach lining because of the rebound acid as well which will more than likely lead to histamine intolerance.
Hey doc what about calcium from egg shells. I've seen people crush egg shells and use it as a calcium supplement. (after they clean them and boil them for a few minutes to kill bacteria) Would that be a good source of Ca or no? Some soak them in lemon juice overnight...
Thank you Dr. Berg for your effort. I agree about calcium. Since i was 3 years old, doctors started to told that my bones are weak and that i should eating more calcium supplements. Now i am 33 year old. And they stil are saying the same, but I do not see abu result of it. So few years ago i was enough of these calcium using advices and i decided to use a hair expamle test (i sent example of my hairs to laboratory for micro and macro element test). After few weeks i received a results of test - it was amazing, the calcium in my body are 150% calcium more that human need, so I told that my doctor but he said that is not possible. At that point i deciced to go for natural nutritions and search by myself how to balance process in my body to be more healthy. And one of very good information source in this process are your videos dr. Berg
The only way to make your bones strong is through load bearing exercise. Obviously if you have weak bones start very slow, but this is how you build strong bones. The body navigates more calcium to the bones when they are under stress.
Thank you for all you do to help people understand and get healthier ! What do you think of diatomaceous earth ? Among so many other benefits, when I read it can help clear blocked arteries, I jumped on board! I usually add it to a smoothie but now I've read that since it absorbs everything, you shouldn't take it with any thing you're trying to get nutrients from LOL always learning
I'm 75. So what do I do for my bone density problems? Testosterone therapy? Been taking calcium citrate and vitamin d3 for about 12 years. I play tennis regularly and do exercises with kettle bells and dumbbells. I have osteopenia, iron deficient anemia, and Crohn's disease (in remission for 2.5 yrs due to Humira). They wanted me to take alendronate, but I refused, figuring that I don't want to slow the disposal of old bone, but rather speed up the production of new bone. Never had any sort of stones. I will try the flax oil and all the other stuff you mentioned. Thanks for your helpful videos. Thumbs up and subscribed. By the way, I get all my in person medical help from the Veterans Administration Healthcare system. It could be better, for example they don't seem to be real big on preventive medicine, but I can't complain and am very thankful for it, as they saved my life.
Is tricalcium phosphate less harmful than carbonate or are they similar? Can you please do a video on this? They have this instead of carbonate in Almond milk. I drink a lot of this and no dairy milk ( unless it's raw and fermented kefir )
I've been consuming way too much of the calcium carbonate accidentally as it's in a lot of vegan milks! It's what makes the oat milks taste extra creamy and I was drinking about a carton a day which is 150% rda of calcium carbonate. Is there a way to flush this harmful substance out of my body?
Vitamin F = EFA essential fatty acids btw: Vitamin K2 Update would help the video You wanna combine Magnesium, Potassium with Calcium Would appreciate if you could refer to Dr MD Wallach findings
More calcium does not mean better bones. It is a fact that countries with greater intake of calcium have worse osteoporosis. This is a fact that doctors won’t tell you.
Since stores are not selling romaine or leafy greens due to the stupid ecoli bacteria scare which now includes ground beef, what do we get out veggies from and I'm taking 600 mgs. Betaine hcl with 1 tsp acv about 1/2 hr prior to my meals, how much betaine shpuld we take?
I'm not sure how you could get excessive Vitamin D3. The current recommendation today is to take about 10,000 IU of D3. So unless you are deliberately jacking up your supplement intake on purpose, i don't think the average person will experience any situation of excessive Vitamin D3.
Hi, i would have a question about replacement for Carbonate, like Calcium Citrate, what do You say about Citrate as a Supplement, is it better or worse wenn we taking it?
If your blood calcium levels are high which would be shown on a routine blood test, then forget all these supplements and natural cures go to an endocrinologist and get your parathyroid levels checked. Chances are you have a parathyroid issue and this could be cured with an extremely simple surgery. I just had this surgery 3 days ago and I am going back to work on Monday. Then I won't have to worry about calcium levels at all because people, this is a cure not a treatment
i found this book amazing, i am taking high dosage of vit c powder and tablets and have just ordered the liposome vit c , the magnesium oil vit d3 and vit k2 so i am taking this daily and juicing i am using ayurdedic oils and taking saunas, i tried shock wave therapy, i am on a waiting list for surgery as i have been bearing this dibilitating pain for 10 yrs, i couldnt find veggie capusels for vit a, i found it a lot of information to digest for me, a numpty ! but read the book twice and stopped drinking milk from supermarkets, i rarely drink milk now but if i do i take only raw milk, i would not even give my kids supermarket milk as its full of antibioitcs etc, its not easy trying to get rid of calcifications and i have got rid of one but have got more, so may ebd up with surgery but am still delaying and trying this protocol, great book, i believed most of it and found it to be life changing and i will definately make a dairy products treats rather than at 3 meals a day thanks for a great book
Calcium carbonate is in your drinking water, we humans have been consuming it for thousands of years. It's perfectly safe if you take calcium carbonate with magnesium or vitamin C. Vitamin C aids in the absorption of calcium(and iron) and is in calcium citrate.
Yep...as he mentioned in the video, plants are used to break down rocks which create a mineral for the plant to absorb it. Much of the calcium occurs in the rock-forming mineral called "plagioclase feldspar." Over the years, I've noticed whenever I put rocks underneath my plant pots, I water the plant and similarly the rock/stones provides a rich mineral that really grows the plant. We shouldn't be consuming the rocks or drinking water with calcium carbonate. Several epidemiological investigations have demonstrated the relation between risk for cardiovascular disease, growth retardation, reproductive failure, and other health problems and hardness of drinking water or its content of magnesium and calcium.Calcification is a very dangerous thing.
@@sadrien If you are able to digest and absorb the nutrients. And the soil where the food grew still had the minerals. Or if you eat plenty of dairy and do not have dairy issues. Hard cheeses would be best, to get vitamin K2. Jarlsberg/gauda etc. Vitamin K2 is very important!
Yes! Need acid to leach out the mineral matrix from the shell ! Put bits of cleaned shells (or grind into powder ) into soup & stews together with tablespoon or so of ACV and cook together ~ every day ~ excellent organic combo.
This is so educating. I so didn't realise that you need vitamin D with calcium and then you need vitamin F to aid vitamin D. I will be looking to get my calcium from Sea Kelp or Coral Calcium. Except with Coral Calcium it's a case of which is the better of Fossilised or Non. Shan't ever get the carbonate form that's for sure.
@@sadrien I take a K2 supplement that contains "calcium phosphates" (plural). Came to this video to see if that is good or bad, but am none the wiser...
ok so in Sept of 2014 i had appendix rupture while 26wks pregnant. Thank God all went ok after being very throughout the rest of the pregnancy. Docs did ultrasound and cat scan (the one where they inject iodine? it feels like a warm flush. then was put in to a big tube)... well my point is that they did a full check because i was in horrible pain and only noticed my appendix swollen, but because of my pregnancy my appendix was behind my right rib cage. close to my liver. at first they actually thought my liver was the problem because it seemed swollen 😳 that would be worse... anyhow the point is they checked well. Got the surgery done and then had my baby on December 3rd. natural🙏🙌. then on mid 2015 i had another 2 ultrasound where i had surgery because i would have pain there. TURNS OUT they found gallstones! now how did it happen so fast! like 6months after😳. ever since i have to watch what i eat or it will hurt. if i eat super healthy it doesn't hurt. i did have like 5 to 6 antibiotics in a 3mo period(because of constant UTIs that was getting worser every time after surgery. before i would only get once a year). I always had my expensive maternity multivitamin. i did go through some stress during tht time... so idk what caused to build gallstones that fast. i mean that area of the gallbladder was cheked a good 3 times with ultrasounds and 1 scan on Sept 2014... do you have an idea what happened?
So I am taking both calcium (as calcium hydroxyapatite, citrate, aspartate, alphaketoglutarate, lysinate ) along with magnesium, phosphorous, and potassium. I aslo drink raw milk once daily for a protein shake which uses natural egg protein. I am taking 4,000 iu of D3 as well. None of this is for making bones stronger etc. I am taking these for my muscles to help them work well as I do my strength workouts. At 65 yrs I am building muscle much better than I would have thought possible. My pancreas do not produce insulin so I am taking that with meals or when glucose is high. I am very insulin resistant so I take about five times more than most diabetics do to reduce glucose levels. All this insulin results in weight gain, which is why I resisted doctors suggestions of taking insulin for so many years and I tried many other things. I am trying to leverage the insulin's steroidal properties to make sure some of the weight gain is muscle, figuring I may as well get some good out of it. I was raised on raw milk and I still drink it daily and I have been taking one 500mg tablet of the calcium for activating the muscle cells, so is this OK, or am I in danger of too much? I do want to get maximum muscle cell activation for contraction.

Questions: 1- What chemical content is there in medications against cardiac arrest and other heart diseases? Why some patients msut take regularly? - Is heart arrest the same as infarct, or heart attack? - Do the doctorfs know there is not only cholesterol, but also calcium; in the plaque in the veins and arteria? - Do they know that consuming calcium without vitmaines F; cause creates plaque? 2 - What is the function of the vitamine K2 (if it is the vitamine F the one which takes the calcium plaque and moves it to the bones)? Is it magnesium with vitamine K2 which takes calcium plaque from teeth, heart, veins,. brain; and moves it to the scelet? Or, is it vitmanie F? 3 - It seems that it is all these three vitmaines together D, K2, F and magnesium; which help move calcium plaque to the scelet. Is it correct?
Dear Dr. Berg, thank you for all of your super videos! I am now starting the keto diet and I love love love spinach, and was very happy to see how high it is in potassium, magnesium and calcium. However, I found out that spinach and lots of other green veg contains oxalate which binds to the calcium so not only stops you from absorbing the calcium, but can also form kidney stones. Please advise.... thank u!
Apparently one of the side affects is " narrowing vessels" with calcium. We didn't know and found out after, after my husband had a stroke and has a narrowing vessel on the right side of his brain. We found out and he refuses it now but still has multiple mini strokes and surgery is too risky. First stroke was in 2021.
i truly see some good questions here... hopefully someday youll make a segment to answer some or it would be better if they were answered here😉👍👍 BIG thanks for sharing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
He has made new videos that answer all the questions. Magnesium D3 and K2 is what most people need. Some need calcium too, if they have digestion problems etc. Zinc and vitamin b6 (in the form of p5p) is also very important for magnesium. (That is why they made the "ZMA" supplement. ZMA has the normal type of vitamin b6, get p5p to be sure.)
He would get thousands of questions a day if he answered them on here and then he wouldn’t have time to do any new videos, or research anything new. Think about it. He could have a whole team of people answering questions and they still wouldn’t get through them all.
I’m sitting here looking at my CVS bottle in horror 😳 so what can I use them for that’s not ingesting them ? Cleaning ? Making cement, glue ? Before I throw them away 😭
Is Red Algae based calcium supplement a safe and good form of calcium. My doctor said my blood calcium levels were too low, so I've been taking 600mg at night, I've noticed my eye sight getting worse which may be something else, ?
Does it matter how much you take in, such as small doses compared to large doses? Does vitamin f make calcium carbonate less harmful? Or should it be avoided at all costs? I am taking Soylent 1.4v and I am stressed now that I could be doing more harm than good.
People use calcium carbonate from ground-up egg shells .... I grind the egg shells up with a mortar and pestle, fill up a pill capsule (size 0) and take one per day after meals. Adds about 300mg to the calculated 1100mg I get from my diet, so (hopefully) not going overboard with the calcium. Also taking Vitamin D and Vitamin K2 (MK7; 200ug/day) to get the calcium into the right tissues ...
At 719 guy said something really genius that only a phd chemist or organic chemist can tell. A rock based miner like in your Utah trace minerals cockatiel vs organic plant based minerals that can be absorbed by body(electrons spin clock wise just like your body) I give this guy 9/10 on his knowledge
Wow very interesting information very helpful. I have a question, so calcium carbonate is not good for us to take as a supplement, which type of calcium would be good for us to take with better absorption, if we really have to supplement calcium? Calcium citrate, calcium malate, etc? I have seen "calcium complex", mixture of calcium carbonate/ citrate/malate, etc. Are those go for us? Thanks Dr Berg
Algae calcium is possibly the best option. (Lithothamnium calcareum) Is from an algae that is 34% calcium and also loaded with other minerals, including a decent amount of magnesium.
My Dr wants me to take vit d and calcium together. Because my latest dexa scan shows I am close to osteoporosis. Do you thunk I should ask for vit k2 supplement instead?
Hello Dr.Berg and team. It would be rather helpful to have an annual safety update. Specifically which supplements should *-not-* be taken without prescription/testing. For example, iron. Yes, I see you are busy. This is an idea of a shortish update, with links to more detailed video, if any. A disclaimer could be added in front. This could be saving lives. Thank you for your serious contributions.

When they stopped the calcium cabonate, the cancer came back. Also a study on vertigo showed that balancing calcium carbonate with Vitamin D improved patients with vertigo by a huge percentage. Too much confusing information.
БлагодарюВас!
Agreed!!!!
Thanks Doc. I’m taking Calcium and noticed bad things happening. I saw someone’s comment to watch your vid so I did. It make sense. Thank you again! I’ll follow you
I have never been So Happy. He is the Most Incredibly Knowledgeable Caring Doc Ever, & Constantly Saving Lives. 🥰
What about eggshells? They are made of calcium carbonate yet many Doctors recommend using them as a calcium source (by boiling and baking them to sterilize and then grinding them up into powder). So does this video also apply to eggshells?
so many health experts recommend alkalization, and others suggest the opposite. nutrition is so controversial and confusing.
just as the note to add, calcium carbonate is the cheapest! pharma saving $$$$ on expensive vitamins supplements. Notice as well micro milligrams off more more $$$$$ vitamins in you daily suppl.B12, b6, k, etc.dr. Berg is actually use the education in proper way ! Tremendously appreciated from me.
Just think about things and you'll get there.
For example: Eat fat, you get fat. We all know this is false. Insulin determines fat storage, not fat. Sugar impacts insulin far more than fat.
Now, alkaline: just because you eat alkaline, does that make your body alkaline? And if so, what part of your body is alkaline? Stomach? Sm-Intestine? Lg-intestine? Saliva? Skin? Blood?
Ingesting alkaline food doesn't mean you get alkaline. Your ph is determined by your body's homeostatic systems. Blood ph does not change (7.35-7.45) no matter what you eat, or else you'd die.
It does affect urine ph, but urine is how your body maintains homeostasis: it excretes whatever you have excess of. This is the way it is supposed to work.
dobra malinovica the research shows that the keto diet is very unhealthy actually. The only diet shown to prevent, treat and even reverse diseases like cancers, heart disease and autoimmune diseases is the whole food plant based diet.
+Rube i dont care about reasearch. I see the result on my body. I loose weight, any sickness, lot of energy and feeling great. I never believed in "reasearchs". Dont forget that "reaserch companies" works for pharma companies...
Rube, we cant have a nutrition discussion without vegans flooding us with mis-information. The vegan or Whole Food form of veganism has not been proven superior at all. When corrected for confounders, meat eaters do just as well. There is absolutely nothing harmful about a keto diet that is done properly. Check your facts.
I've always taken smaller amounts of Calcium Citrate with D3/K2 & Magnesium, but after checking this out I think I will dump the Calcium and keep the rest. Thanks Dr Berg
Yes good. Get it from Kiefer
How did it go
He didn't talk about Calcium Citrate. Maybe the Citrate kind is fine.
take cod liver oil (vitamin f), vit d3 (4000iu - 6000) /k2 and dose of calcium together (300-500mg). Calcium sources like kefir,raw milk and sea kelp.
I’ve been put on Calcium carbonate with vitamin D3 due to being started on 60 mg Prednisolone a day for Minimal Change disease (kidneys). I was told this would protect my bones? I’ve also been put on Lansoprazole 30 mg to protect my stomach. Could this actually be beneficial in this circumstance?
Your absolutely correct. Both parents took calcium supplements for years. They both had hypercalcemia of the aorta and arteries both needed heart surgery and the surgeon said they were full of calcium And ironically both got cataracts.
Wow 😮
Some people do need it I myself for ex but some people need magnesium and are given calcium which is dangerous
Is that the same as having a prominent aorthic button and with calcified atheromous plaques??
Both my perents got cataracts and they don't take calcium supplements
I noticed Dr. Berg uses calcium lactate in his supplements. He also recommended calcium citrate instead of calcium carbonate in another video he posted on PMS.
He mention spinach in this lecture, which is also a good source of calcium.
Algae calcium. (Lithothamnium calcareum)
The calcium lactate is also rock based, I just bought his electrolyte powder but I’m gonna stop using it because of this 🥲
@@ShroomadeI use Dr Bergs electrolyte powder. The one thing he mentions specifically about the powder is they do not use Calcium Carbonate (the rock).
Calcium carbonate is basically Tums. So taking that every day is going to mess up the stomach lining because of the rebound acid as well which will more than likely lead to histamine intolerance.
Dr. Berg truly save a lot of lives. You are a true blessing thank you so much.
i just bought 600 carbonate tabs to 😱 but so far in my keto journey everything has made sence and seen the benefits, i shall switch 👌
Great as usual , always with the answers to our burning questions included , thank you , doctor ¡
Hey doc what about calcium from egg shells. I've seen people crush egg shells and use it as a calcium supplement. (after they clean them and boil them for a few minutes to kill bacteria)
Would that be a good source of Ca or no? Some soak them in lemon juice overnight...
I also want to know
Wow, now I want to know too!
It's bad
..Or soak them in Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar until they dissolve, then drink the mixture..
Thank you Dr. Berg for your effort.
I agree about calcium. Since i was 3 years old, doctors started to told that my bones are weak and that i should eating more calcium supplements. Now i am 33 year old. And they stil are saying the same, but I do not see abu result of it. So few years ago i was enough of these calcium using advices and i decided to use a hair expamle test (i sent example of my hairs to laboratory for micro and macro element test). After few weeks i received a results of test - it was amazing, the calcium in my body are 150% calcium more that human need, so I told that my doctor but he said that is not possible. At that point i deciced to go for natural nutritions and search by myself how to balance process in my body to be more healthy. And one of very good information source in this process are your videos dr. Berg
Thank you for sharing your story. Glad we can help.

The only way to make your bones strong is through load bearing exercise. Obviously if you have weak bones start very slow, but this is how you build strong bones. The body navigates more calcium to the bones when they are under stress.
Thank you for all you do to help people understand and get healthier ! What do you think of diatomaceous earth ? Among so many other benefits, when I read it can help clear blocked arteries, I jumped on board! I usually add it to a smoothie but now I've read that since it absorbs everything, you shouldn't take it with any thing you're trying to get nutrients from LOL always learning
I'm 75. So what do I do for my bone density problems? Testosterone therapy? Been taking calcium citrate and vitamin d3 for about 12 years. I play tennis regularly and do exercises with kettle bells and dumbbells. I have osteopenia, iron deficient anemia, and Crohn's disease (in remission for 2.5 yrs due to Humira). They wanted me to take alendronate, but I refused, figuring that I don't want to slow the disposal of old bone, but rather speed up the production of new bone. Never had any sort of stones. I will try the flax oil and all the other stuff you mentioned. Thanks for your helpful videos. Thumbs up and subscribed. By the way, I get all my in person medical help from the Veterans Administration Healthcare system. It could be better, for example they don't seem to be real big on preventive medicine, but I can't complain and am very thankful for it, as they saved my life.
Is tricalcium phosphate less harmful than carbonate or are they similar? Can you please do a video on this? They have this instead of carbonate in Almond milk. I drink a lot of this and no dairy milk ( unless it's raw and fermented kefir )
It is in my orange juice too! Is it ok, Dr. Berg?
Can you make a video about people who have had their gallbladder removed please?
I've been consuming way too much of the calcium carbonate accidentally as it's in a lot of vegan milks! It's what makes the oat milks taste extra creamy and I was drinking about a carton a day which is 150% rda of calcium carbonate. Is there a way to flush this harmful substance out of my body?
Wet cupping is the only way to detox poisons from your body
Citrates
Vitamin F = EFA essential fatty acids
btw: Vitamin K2 Update would help the video
You wanna combine Magnesium, Potassium with Calcium
Would appreciate if you could refer to Dr MD Wallach findings
Such great advise thank you.
More calcium does not mean better bones. It is a fact that countries with greater intake of calcium have worse osteoporosis. This is a fact that doctors won’t tell you.
4:46 vitamin d takes the calcium from your stomach and puts it into the blood it concentrates it into the blood
Since stores are not selling romaine or leafy greens due to the stupid ecoli bacteria scare which now includes ground beef, what do we get out veggies from and I'm taking 600 mgs. Betaine hcl with 1 tsp acv about 1/2 hr prior to my meals, how much betaine shpuld we take?
another fantastic, informative video. Thank you.
Thx. It always helps by full details when u explain it.
I'm not sure how you could get excessive Vitamin D3. The current recommendation today is to take about 10,000 IU of D3. So unless you are deliberately jacking up your supplement intake on purpose, i don't think the average person will experience any situation of excessive Vitamin D3.
Thank you Dr. Berg, I really needed this video 😊❤️
Hi, i would have a question about replacement for Carbonate, like Calcium Citrate, what do You say about Citrate as a Supplement, is it better or worse wenn we taking it?
I can’t find anything bad about calcium citrate. It’s easily absorbed and actually helps prevent kidney stones by binding to oxalates in your food.
Thank you Dr Berg you’re always so helpful.
You're welcome. Happy to share this information.
If your blood calcium levels are high which would be shown on a routine blood test, then forget all these supplements and natural cures go to an endocrinologist and get your parathyroid levels checked. Chances are you have a parathyroid issue and this could be cured with an extremely simple surgery. I just had this surgery 3 days ago and I am going back to work on Monday. Then I won't have to worry about calcium levels at all because people, this is a cure not a treatment
I dont have a thyroid, i always take cAlcium 3 to 4 times a day.
i found this book amazing, i am taking high dosage of vit c powder and tablets and have just ordered the liposome vit c , the magnesium oil vit d3 and vit k2 so i am taking this daily and juicing i am using ayurdedic oils and taking saunas, i tried shock wave therapy, i am on a waiting list for surgery as i have been bearing this dibilitating pain for 10 yrs, i couldnt find veggie capusels for vit a, i found it a lot of information to digest for me, a numpty ! but read the book twice and stopped drinking milk from supermarkets, i rarely drink milk now but if i do i take only raw milk, i would not even give my kids supermarket milk as its full of antibioitcs etc, its not easy trying to get rid of calcifications and i have got rid of one but have got more, so may ebd up with surgery but am still delaying and trying this protocol, great book, i believed most of it and found it to be life changing and i will definately make a dairy products treats rather than at 3 meals a day thanks for a great book
Calcium carbonate is in your drinking water, we humans have been consuming it for thousands of years. It's perfectly safe if you take calcium carbonate with magnesium or vitamin C. Vitamin C aids in the absorption of calcium(and iron) and is in calcium citrate.
Wrong
Yep...as he mentioned in the video, plants are used to break down rocks which create a mineral for the plant to absorb it. Much of the calcium occurs in the rock-forming mineral called "plagioclase feldspar." Over the years, I've noticed whenever I put rocks underneath my plant pots, I water the plant and similarly the rock/stones provides a rich mineral that really grows the plant. We shouldn't be consuming the rocks or drinking water with calcium carbonate. Several epidemiological investigations have demonstrated the relation between risk for cardiovascular disease, growth retardation, reproductive failure, and other health problems and hardness of drinking water or its content of magnesium and calcium.Calcification is a very dangerous thing.
Take more magnesium than calcium and always take some D and K2 with your calcium, that should create a good balance.
You can also buy "Food State Calcium" which is plant based and not cheap chalk as in Calcium Carbonate
StyrbjornStarke which magnesium??
@@ritalafleur3079 Magnesium Bisglycinate is a good bio-available source.
You don't need to take calcium at all. You get plenty from your food.
@@sadrien If you are able to digest and absorb the nutrients. And the soil where the food grew still had the minerals. Or if you eat plenty of dairy and do not have dairy issues. Hard cheeses would be best, to get vitamin K2. Jarlsberg/gauda etc. Vitamin K2 is very important!
7:45 cheese is also made from pasteurized milk unless you get from europe or raw cheese.
Im hearing that ground organic egg shells are a good source of minerals. Can anyone shed light on this?
I know a story when Egg shells+fish oil cured TB
Yes! Need acid to leach out the mineral matrix from the shell ! Put bits of cleaned shells (or grind into powder ) into soup & stews together with tablespoon or so of ACV and cook together ~ every day ~ excellent organic combo.
Certainly good for dogs
Calcium-carbonate, whether it's good is up to you to decide.
This is so educating. I so didn't realise that you need vitamin D with calcium and then you need vitamin F to aid vitamin D. I will be looking to get my calcium from Sea Kelp or Coral Calcium. Except with Coral Calcium it's a case of which is the better of Fossilised or Non. Shan't ever get the carbonate form that's for sure.
Oh my gosh!!!! I just bought a bottle of Calcium and it says (as Calcium carbonate)
Throw it out. Don't take calcium supplements. Just take vitamin d and k2, and krill oil supplements.
@@sadrien I take a K2 supplement that contains "calcium phosphates" (plural). Came to this video to see if that is good or bad, but am none the wiser...
@@Vingul probably fine, it's at least balanced with phosphate (competing elements).
@@sadrien thank you!
ok so in Sept of 2014 i had appendix rupture while 26wks pregnant. Thank God all went ok after being very throughout the rest of the pregnancy. Docs did ultrasound and cat scan (the one where they inject iodine? it feels like a warm flush. then was put in to a big tube)... well my point is that they did a full check because i was in horrible pain and only noticed my appendix swollen, but because of my pregnancy my appendix was behind my right rib cage. close to my liver. at first they actually thought my liver was the problem because it seemed swollen 😳 that would be worse... anyhow the point is they checked well. Got the surgery done and then had my baby on December 3rd. natural🙏🙌. then on mid 2015 i had another 2 ultrasound where i had surgery because i would have pain there. TURNS OUT they found gallstones! now how did it happen so fast! like 6months after😳. ever since i have to watch what i eat or it will hurt. if i eat super healthy it doesn't hurt. i did have like 5 to 6 antibiotics in a 3mo period(because of constant UTIs that was getting worser every time after surgery. before i would only get once a year). I always had my expensive maternity multivitamin. i did go through some stress during tht time... so idk what caused to build gallstones that fast. i mean that area of the gallbladder was cheked a good 3 times with ultrasounds and 1 scan on Sept 2014... do you have an idea what happened?
@ faithlilis ..following this, I am curious too. God Bless
Great info Once again! Family physicians and general practitioners are so clueless. It's probably them giving a thumbs down! LOL.
what about calcium phosphate??? is the healthy to take?
Wow! Thank you Dr. Berg!
This is so informative and such important information for everyone.
👏🏻👍🏻
You're very welcome!
So I am taking both calcium (as calcium hydroxyapatite, citrate, aspartate, alphaketoglutarate, lysinate ) along with magnesium, phosphorous, and potassium. I aslo drink raw milk once daily for a protein shake which uses natural egg protein. I am taking 4,000 iu of D3 as well. None of this is for making bones stronger etc. I am taking these for my muscles to help them work well as I do my strength workouts.
At 65 yrs I am building muscle much better than I would have thought possible. My pancreas do not produce insulin so I am taking that with meals or when glucose is high. I am very insulin resistant so I take about five times more than most diabetics do to reduce glucose levels. All this insulin results in weight gain, which is why I resisted doctors suggestions of taking insulin for so many years and I tried many other things. I am trying to leverage the insulin's steroidal properties to make sure some of the weight gain is muscle, figuring I may as well get some good out of it.
I was raised on raw milk and I still drink it daily and I have been taking one 500mg tablet of the calcium for activating the muscle cells, so is this OK, or am I in danger of too much? I do want to get maximum muscle cell activation for contraction.
9 year ago and i am watching now 😳😳 my favorite dr i am from pakistan.. More power to you. I follow u when u have 1.5 OR 2M and u just boom near 9m congratulations and thanks for helping.
Thank you very much for your support through the years. Greatly appreciate you.
@@Drberg i will always support because after watching ur videos i treated my mother fatty liver and my asthma we can't control environment but u help us alot. Apple cider vinegar, vitamin d, milk thistle, you are savings lifes because here dr prescribed many test but still they can't treat patients if they prescribe antibiotics and steroid they never any prescribed anything for kidney and stomach with that but they effect other organ i am my self found of researching things.. More power to you.
most doctors support 2000-4000 international units the sun vitamin ...hopefully you are ABSOLUTELY right on vit d ....they say vit d3 is very anabolic.....
wow - thank you Tonya
It looks as if he is describing everything im doing wrong and the digestive issues im having: taking too much antiacids(calcium carbonate), poor digestion, problems digesting fats, stress, etc. Ok, but what options do i have with constant acidity? The proton pump inhibitors i ve read are not good options. 😕
I am taking a Red Marine Calcium that made from Red Algae. I hope it’s ok?
my cholestrol medicine (atorvastatin) has inactive ingredient of Calcium carbonate in it...I'm going to have to talk with my doctor about this.
THANK YOU DR BERG
Questions:
1- What chemical content is there in medications against cardiac arrest and other heart diseases? Why some patients msut take regularly?
- Is heart arrest the same as infarct, or heart attack?
- Do the doctorfs know there is not only cholesterol, but also calcium; in the plaque in the veins and arteria?
- Do they know that consuming calcium without vitmaines F; cause creates plaque?
2 - What is the function of the vitamine K2 (if it is the vitamine F the one which takes the calcium plaque and moves it to the bones)?
Is it magnesium with vitamine K2 which takes calcium plaque from teeth, heart, veins,. brain; and moves it to the scelet? Or, is it vitmanie F?
3 - It seems that it is all these three vitmaines together D, K2, F and magnesium; which help move calcium plaque to the scelet. Is it correct?
Dear Dr. Berg, thank you for all of your super videos! I am now starting the keto diet and I love love love spinach, and was very happy to see how high it is in potassium, magnesium and calcium. However, I found out that spinach and lots of other green veg contains oxalate which binds to the calcium so not only stops you from absorbing the calcium, but can also form kidney stones. Please advise.... thank u!
Eggs have calcium!
@@bhigley no it doesn't, quit lying
@@MarquosXoloVanda according to the International Osteoporosis Foundation, eggs have 27 grams of calcium. Who’s lying?

Apparently one of the side affects is " narrowing vessels" with calcium. We didn't know and found out after, after my husband had a stroke and has a narrowing vessel on the right side of his brain. We found out and he refuses it now but still has multiple mini strokes and surgery is too risky. First stroke was in 2021.
you may have saved my life. ty doctor
Vitamin k-2 supplement for moving cal out of The cardiovascular system....?
I was told to take a CalMagZinc supplement and did - briefly - but threw the bottle away. I thought it was too much and not helpful.
i truly see some good questions here... hopefully someday youll make a segment to answer some or it would be better if they were answered here😉👍👍 BIG thanks for sharing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
He has made new videos that answer all the questions. Magnesium D3 and K2 is what most people need. Some need calcium too, if they have digestion problems etc.
Zinc and vitamin b6 (in the form of p5p) is also very important for magnesium. (That is why they made the "ZMA" supplement. ZMA has the normal type of vitamin b6, get p5p to be sure.)
He would get thousands of questions a day if he answered them on here and then he wouldn’t have time to do any new videos, or research anything new.
Think about it. He could have a whole team of people answering questions and they still wouldn’t get through them all.
🙏🙏 Thanks alot dr Berg.Lucky for me I have not talken it
Glad it helps!
Needs mention of taking K2 with a proper calcium source, such as algae.
Every time he said "vitamin F" i just think he must have MEANT vitamin K2
My KD supplement has calcium phosphates in it, not sure if that's acceptable or not.
I’m sitting here looking at my CVS bottle in horror 😳 so what can I use them for that’s not ingesting them ? Cleaning ? Making cement, glue ? Before I throw them away 😭
Great piece of info
Thanks Dr. Berg
Is Red Algae based calcium supplement a safe and good form of calcium. My doctor said my blood calcium levels were too low, so I've been taking 600mg at night, I've noticed my eye sight getting worse which may be something else, ?
Does it matter how much you take in, such as small doses compared to large doses? Does vitamin f make calcium carbonate less harmful? Or should it be avoided at all costs? I am taking Soylent 1.4v and I am stressed now that I could be doing more harm than good.
hi dr.berg i wondered if you could make a video about fillers like stearic acid , magnesium stearate , calcium stearate and many more... ?
What about Calcium citrate?
People use calcium carbonate from ground-up egg shells .... I grind the egg shells up with a mortar and pestle, fill up a pill capsule (size 0) and take one per day after meals. Adds about 300mg to the calculated 1100mg I get from my diet, so (hopefully) not going overboard with the calcium. Also taking Vitamin D and Vitamin K2 (MK7; 200ug/day) to get the calcium into the right tissues ...
At 719 guy said something really genius that only a phd chemist or organic chemist can tell. A rock based miner like in your Utah trace minerals cockatiel vs organic plant based minerals that can be absorbed by body(electrons spin clock wise just like your body) I give this guy 9/10 on his knowledge
Excellent and very important information. Thank you very much
You're most welcome.
Wow very interesting information very helpful. I have a question, so calcium carbonate is not good for us to take as a supplement, which type of calcium would be good for us to take with better absorption, if we really have to supplement calcium? Calcium citrate, calcium malate, etc? I have seen "calcium complex", mixture of calcium carbonate/ citrate/malate, etc. Are those go for us? Thanks Dr Berg
Citrate
@@katenkaren6692 isn’t calcium citrate just calcium carbonate mixed with citric acid?
Algae calcium is possibly the best option. (Lithothamnium calcareum) Is from an algae that is 34% calcium and also loaded with other minerals, including a decent amount of magnesium.
My Dr wants me to take vit d and calcium together. Because my latest dexa scan shows I am close to osteoporosis.
Do you thunk I should ask for vit k2 supplement instead?
Hello Dr.Berg and team. It would be rather helpful to have an annual safety update. Specifically which supplements should *-not-* be taken without prescription/testing. For example, iron. Yes, I see you are busy. This is an idea of a shortish update, with links to more detailed video, if any. A disclaimer could be added in front. This could be saving lives.
Thank you for your serious contributions.
Hi there. Thanks for the suggestion.
My 23 years urticaria..100 doctors failed to cure after eating all the medicines..you know what cured it? 20,000 IUs of Vitamin D daily..as suggested by Dr.Eric...thank you so much doctor..! God bless!
How about calcium lactate. Dr Berg recommended this. It was fine to take this even children for cough mucus. I bought some.
Is there a specific test to ask for to verify all the vitamins level ..?
Very informative, presented well, great video.
