STOP Taking Calcium Supplements (What to Know) 2024

- čas přidán 2. 06. 2024
- 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.
Martha Ferguson That’s because they feed it to their young.
Martha Ferguson Another vegan nutcase...
Martha, I'm a layman when it comes to medical and nutritional matters, but what you say seems SOOOOOO right.
Dr.
Dr Berry and Niesha on Sunday night's
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.
Genetics 🧬
Why in the world was she bed-ridden for so long?
Eating a cup of cottage cheese is about the same a drinking a cup of milk.
She got her calcium from cheese, which was good for her genetics
Actually, cottage cheese has far less calcium than milk or yogurt.
Thank u Dr Berry for changing our thinking patterns with your valuable knowledge.👍🏼
Thank you...I'm 61 and have been taking one everyday for years...going to through them out right now!!
I came across this straight after I read a top uk newspaper on my phone saying that it causes strokes, heart attacks and dementia. Then I noticed that you put this out 3 years ago. You have a new subscriber. Thank you.
Years ago I was told post menopause to take calcium. I noticed I didn't feel "right" after a while. First I cut down the dose but finally cut it out. With the new info I'm glad I listened to my body.
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.
@Susan Simpson Oh! Wow! Your mother sounds a wonderful woman. How sad for her to suffer that way. And youu too. My own mother was so clever and gifted, she died with Parkinson at 86. Was so conscientious
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! Our duty is to do our best for our health as a tribute to our mothers.
Susan Simpson o
Susan Simpson, that tough. My condolences. She was low in glutathione. People should never get surgery without raising glutathione effectively, first. The poor lady's body couldn't take the trauma. I trust that you are doing well.
my mum is 96 and drinks milk in her tea, takes calcium daily....my Granny lived to be 101, same thing...my great aunt drank milk daily because she liked the taste, lived to be 103.
Milk/calcium is not the problem. It is ALL contributing factors plus genetics.
This "Dr." does not know any more about anything than any other doctor- and they all argue about everything.
@@lesliemccormick6527 Your family's genetics take precedence over the calcium issue. No one said that milk will KILL anyone--only that it is not required to keep bones healthy.
Wow! Thank you for clarifying this information Dr Berry. I just talked to my primary doctor and she recommended me to take calcium supplement. This is straight forward explanation and I am not taking the calcium.
My mother she is taking calcium and I will talk to her about this information as well.
Thank you this educational video. I don’t understand why doctor recommended supplements and don’t talk about negative health impacts in our health.
I am glad that somebody educating us!
Thank you again !!!
Dr. Berry, I am a nutritiional consultant and have been researching this topic from every source possible and you made the most sense...thank the Lord for your wisdom and it so makes logic. Thank you so much for your passionate heart for truth. 4/8/22
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
Thank you for sharing your experiences too. Much appreciated.
Thanks doctor for the information
A similar thing happened to me when I took calcium supplements.
Dr Berry, I realise I'm sharing a bunch of your great videos, so today I liked and subscribed, as the least I could do. You manage to sum up in a few succinct minutes (which is a skill in itself) what I've learned over the last 20 years of research and nutrition education, and I hope you reach many, many people that would like help, who are willing to learn, but just have been completely blindsided by mainstream for years. I hope you stay healthy, and keep up the good work. Best wishes.
Thanks Doctor for your advice. My husband and I will refrain from drinking milk starting today. God bless 💗💗💗.
I was looking for information to share with a friend who’s been taking calcium. I wanted her to understand the dangers. I should have known that you’d have it all presented perfectly in a video! I shared it with her and decided to become a patreon. You’re only the second content creator I’ve ever done that for. You are so worth supporting! Thank you Dr. Berry!
Your speech makes high sense. Thanks .I agree 100% the most important having a good strong quality bones rather than having a good density bones. We need either one in well being
I worked with a guy who was going to school to be an EMT 10yrs ago. He told me that too much calcium was a major cause of heart attacks. Lifting heavy weights increases bone strength
Jason Montgomery
Yes! I agree about weight lifting me.
Thanks for sharing!
Yep. My mother who is 81 does weight lifting. Nicole
You need calcium but i think you should mix the calcium supplement with vit d and k
@@daleskac4483 I Googled it and most say not to eat it at the same time - like many hours in between. My cal/mag also has D3 BTW.
@@daleskac4483 Yes you need calcium but not nearly in the amounts recommended. The only time in your life when you should need to take milk for it's calcium is when you're growing, and to stop it before puberty hits. 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.
Thank you so much, Dr. Berry, for taking time out to educate us. Your videos are so informative!
Great advice! I joined a local gym and starting lifting weights and bought some bone broth and collagen. Good to know about the calcium supplement dangers.
I wonder how many years before they change their mind on this one, too. If you live long enough you start noticing that!
Thank u for this very informative video .had a rising calcium level .was taking calcium supplement & astorvastin calcium per physician. Physician said that had nothing to do with my calcium level .I told her I totally disagreed & refused to take supplement & astorvastin calcium . Wonder how many are walking around with elevated calcium levels having physicians who refuse to continue to learn or think outside the box .thanks again ! We need u physicians who continue to grow & learn .God bless u
Hilarious!!! Thank you for the honesty and humor you put in your videos
Calcium screwed up my para thyroid, now I have to have surgery, it’s been HORRIBLE, the muscle cramping as the result
I take all my clients OFF calcium but for all the reasons you listed (I know my situation is unusual)
Dr. Berry, I thank God for you! This is life changing information. So grateful for you.
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 !!
Hi I am totally subscribing to you and getting on your Patreon support... You are saving people's lives and quality of lives and saving medical resources and man power in various regard into other useful things. Now we need to translate you into other languages so I can share your videos with my parents....
I feel so vindicated‼️ I never gave up real butter, sour cream, whipped cream etc❣️
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.
same here none of this crap works!
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
You are so correct about Fosamax
In our perio surgery office..we witnessed women who could not be candidates for implants because they were experiencing necrosis of the jaw bone due to their long term use of Fosamax. 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
@@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.
Your the only Doctor online thats believiable. Thank you.
Awesome.thanks for giving wonderful suggestions and helping us to save our lives by giving right direction
Thank you doc for sharing ..God bless u
Thank you for all your life saving insights! I hope you'll live forever! 🙏🏼 😊 💪🏼
Only happens in Jesus!
I appreciate the sacrifices to your life that you have endured to make these videos! THANK YOU!!!!!
This showed up with perfect timing, I mostly cycle which isn't great for bone strength and was thinking I should start taking calcium. I just need to run more, keep taking vitamin D, and walk. Thanks!
D3 and k2 help put calcium to the bone , not leaving calcium in heart arteries and kidneys. Take a good kind of calcium supplement, about 300 mg a day, plus eat lot of prunes and green leafy vegetables.
Omg, I knew it. My Dr told me to take it every day years ago but I heard how it caused heart attacks so I stopped taking. But my mother took it faithfully along with the medication foe her bones. She was always worried about her bones. She died of ovarian cancer. The Drs were so surprised she got it at 79. I have been tested genetically because I had stage 1 uterine cancer and the genetics test came back negative. But what you said now makes so much sense. THANK YOU. Our entire family has been switching over to Keto. My son was over weight, had kidney stones, guess what he was always eating milk products. It was his wake up call. Sorry such a long comment but you are really helping our family out here in Southern Calif
Raise your glutathione.
I just saw your another informative video "Reverse and prevent Osteporosis ". May be it provides clues to what I had asked for additional information yesterday. With new medical science studies on side effects of supplements like Calcium, we are going back to basics to source it mainly through our food products. Regards.
Thank you for warning people for this 🤙❣️
Thank you for taking the time to help others. It is a special gift that you have. I really needed to hear this video because my doctor tries to push calcium on me. Thank you for all your help!!
How can you missed out on your recommended daily intake of calcium? It cant be zero. Why not use Vit D and calcium?
Thank you for loading up this video. I started 2 months of CITRACIAL calcium supplement. Now I will stop.
My dad has drank milk all his life. Is healthy and will be 98 this year.
Men on the average do not get osteoporosis as bad as women but I have seen the studies show big large mass of calcium supplement actually
Agreed
I drank about 7 pints of milk one day in Jr. High School and threw up out of my nose...LOL! no lie
Some people that smoke can become centenarians but that does not prove that smoking is good for you!
Lol its a good thing *your dad* didnt get cancer. Not really sure where anyone asked though. Especially since there are plenty of scholarly sources out there for people to educate themselves.
Many thanks for all the information you share. Blessings to you. 🥰
thank you kindly for your wonderful advise...best regards from sunny Australia
Thank you Doctor. Would it be the same for a patient that's taking prednisone long term weakening his bones?
I developed an unbearable itch, I couldn't work out what it was , eventually through internet research one of the side effects of ,Marine Calcium , was Itch and build of of plaque in the the arteries, .thank you for this advice, and confirmation 😷😇
Thank you for this video. I just stated upping my calcium, now I will stop.
Wahooo, very vital information. Thank you so much, May God bless 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 you.
Oh my word! I have been told to take large amounts of calcium for decades now. The whole time, I have been scared about the calcium building in my arteries but I was told that it was either take the calcium and risk a heart episode, or don’t and risk osteoporosis. Like that is a choice.
Dang it’s cool to see a doctor putting himself out there!
Thank you very much Doc for telling this matter to us.
May God bless you and your family as well. I shared your video to orhers especially to my family for them to know the risks of taking calcium. Your follower from the Republic of the Philippines. Mabuhay!
Love your videos, Dr. Berry!
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.
hrt
When you try to get estrogen from a gyn they told me no It can cause cancer because I had A huge lump in my breast and they refused to take it out Said high blood pressure and cancer no estrogen But my hair falling out and nails brittle and teeth and jaw bone deteriorating No density scan because no broken bones So six years later now have cancer take lump out and said want to zero out my estrogen Because of cancer The pills are horrible side affects bones joints swell ache and sores on my lower back and blood dripping out of me 7 months No tests for what is wrong and no exam refused So I quit taking Feel better now Stopped calcium supplements and high blood pressure gone and take some good food and drink protein whey powder and some natural herbs Thus far no cancer I know of and no blood dripping no weird sores and no pain and swelling and no bacterial infections of my bladder when you need estrogen they say no And then when you need better different medications they refuse that too Side affect of pills uterine cancer But no tests exams so just keep taking so cancer will not come back is the manure you get So good to tell someone the truths about these awful pills to stop estrogen Deteriorating your whole body and causing infections

I was diagnosis with osteoporosis and my doctor said vit D only forget the calcium. I also
started on collagen protein powder from the bovine [taken from beef hide]. Collagen is an
important staple since body doesn't produce much with age. Much safer than taking a
pill like fosamax or inj of prolia. Too many side effects from these drugs.
Thank you Sir for this great presentation. Much appreciated
You're an Eye opener, Thank you doc
I'm glad I saw this video. I was just about to start taking calcium supplements. Very helpful information.
Me too
Same here
Me too!!! Exercise, vitamin B and no Milk (it's good that I dont drink milk), let's do it!
Calcium carbonate is totally different than Red Mineral Algae calcium !
Same here
Love the videos Dr. Don't stop! Calling my Mom right now! Thanks.
Good luck with that because most people who take calcium swear by it. It’s harder to convince someone to get off of calcium then it is too have them just not take it
Doc thankU 4 ur ❤ of caring 4 us with all ur fearless research, knowledge & wisdom
THANK U DOC . I was thinking about getting some not ANYMORE! 🙌🏼🙏🏼🗣️
Wow. Thank you for this video. Saved me from making a mistake
Thanks for this video Dr. Berry. I thought I'd watched all your videos and don't know how I missed this one. I've been taking the brand Kalsio for at least 3 months, but didn't think it had anything to do with the increased pain I've been having in my hip area. I'm tossing as soon as I get home.
Thank you very much for this informative health tips.
Dr. Berry, thank you, thank you, thank you for this caution about calcium supplements. This video is one everyone should watch! I'm sharing this video with others.
Yeah, I had my heart attack at 56 after having taken a magnesium/zinc supp that came with calcium in it. Now I have a high/bad CAC (coronary artery calcium) score. Stopped taking calcium after the heart attack. Now I take a straight magnesium glycinate supp.....
Vit d3 and k2 will prevent calcification in heart arteries and kidneys.
Thank you for this!!! I was an avid milk drinker up until 1.5 years ago. I stopped it cold turkey and feel so much better!
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.
Not required it's the caregiver decision
Forget milk, that's only a minor issue compared to the tens of things you and the vast majority of people are doing wrong. Like farming, eating "vegetable" oils, eating refined sugars, drinking coffee, eating excessive carbohydrates etc. Not to mention the literal poison known as soda.
None of those are natural and none of those are good for health. None of them were there 20,000 years ago. Look at the big picture.
I have not drank milk since I was very young. I just don't like it. I am 69 with zero health problems. 🙂💯
Thank you for all these information 👍
Thank you SO much for this video
Thank you Dr. Berry! I have been taking Calcium supplement for years! After watching your video about Calcium, I threw my supplement immediately. Tomorrow, I am brisk walking!
Remember to take all unwanted drugs and supplements to the pharmacy where they will be properly disposed of. Otherwise they end up in the water.
Oh my, you are amazing. Thank you for all of your confirmations that pills are too readily prescribed. We need a lot more of your kind of Doctor to educate us 'gullibles' 💝
Awesome Dr. Berry! Thank you so much :)
Merry Christmas Dr ken happy new year
I do remember here in Australia (a few years back) that they did link Calcium supplements with heart attacks but I don’t remember it being explained. Thanks Dr Berry 🙏🏻🇦🇺❣️
He didn't explain it at all.
Doctors don't advice calcium anymore , bit sad , as if you have osteopenia etc, calcium is a good idea but only combined with K2 and D3, those take care the calcium ends up in the right place, your bones and not your arteries.
Its annoying their conclusion is that calcium supplements are bad while if you take it with k2 and d3 its a great idea
I don't ever drink milk, I've never taken calcium even though my pcp has been after to do so, you were in the back of my mind telling me no and I don't regret it, I think more Dr's should have your common sense and compassion, thankyou so much!! 😊
I love 🥛 with chocolate 🍫 cake 🎂
Fantastic video - many thanks!
Good topic. Good video! Thank you.
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.
Vitamin k2 is really good for your bones also.. helps direct calcium to the bones and teeth
@@coopsy222 so if you take k2 , you can take calcium as well ?? As that directs calcium to bones
@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.
@@coopsy222 its plant calcium, would that be different though?
@Lisa oh ok that's different then and perfect 😀 dark leafy plants are very good for you in general.
Any chance the links for the big studies are available for us to look at the research?
Incredible, just got my mind BLOWN away with this upload... everything stated makes for a sound logical point indeed... just Subscribed, and shared this with everyone on my Facebook account. Thank you, Dr. Barry 👍
Tnks so much Dr. KEN BERRY, learned so much with your info re taking Calcium...n what milk can do to us...well ecplained...am from the Philippines, 74 yrs old n always find time following health infos...may God bless you n your family more...
Please provide specific references to the medical journal or journals that support your statements in regard to the risks vs. benefits of calcium supplements. I am interested in reading for myself, the medical evidence that lends credence to your opinions.
Dr. Berry I'd love to contribute & agree with you most of the time! It would be nice if you would discuss calcium carbonate (vitamin rocks) compared to Red Algae calcium. Also- what is the importance of Strontium? I've heard other Drs (on videos) say strontium is needed more as we get older. I'm interested in your opinion on these supplements? Thank you for your time !!
Yes, I would like to know the answer to this as well. Is the algae and strontium ok to take?
@@lindafuchs8498 i watch dr kareem ali he take algae everyday
He mainly wants iodine i don’t remember the rest
I wonder about the calcium carbonate that food producers add to other products, such as soy milk and almond milk. Are these are also harmful? If you have hard water, you also have a lot of calcium carbonate in the water. Do these ways of intake result in the same outcomes as taking supplements?
@@mikemiloch653 calcium carbonate is bad. It is chalk. Do not take it.
@@lesmorley9628 it is scary. We do not know what they put in our food and supplements anymore. Thanks.
Thank you Dr. Berry for your great advice. I’m sharing your video on my Facebook page. The calcium supplement’s I take will be in trash.
Thankyu so much Dearest Doctor God bless your life
I've never been a milk drinker and actually have a problem with lactose. But having recently been diagnosed with Osteopenia (moderate Osteoporosis), I am taking Melatonin, Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 for bone repair and building. 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.
How old are you?
And what's your diet look like.
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.
@@norwegianzound Thanks! I'll look for kefir at my grocery store.
Wow! My Doctor just last year told me to take calcium with my anti seizure meds to prevent migraines. I had quit the anti seizure meds a couple weeks ago because they have caused more negatives than positive. Now I will toss the calcium. Thank you for sharing! I will pass it on as well.
Look into magnesium, there is a book called the magnesium miracle that explains that 80% people are severely deficient and helps with all kinds of ailments!
This is the absolute BEST video! I've always suspected this, as I really hate milk and fought my mum through my whole childhood about this topic! So I barely ever consume milk. But when I gave birth to my child, and had a terrible time breastfeeding, my mum said it was my fault because I hadn't consumed enough cow's milk! 😂😂😂 anyway thank you for reaffirming exactly what I thought was true. I take Vitamin D3 daily, and have started training and will be increasing weight training too. Awesome video 🇦🇺
Thank you very much. Great info!!!
Oxidation is much more likely to contribute to a heart attack. Id like to see you do a video on oxidative stress. Cheers
WOW!! I just found you and I will be watching more videos.
Thanks
That is amazing information as it is life saving.
Thanks for this video. Very informative I'll bin my calcium supplement now
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. Bonnie Mitchell
What strengthens bones is BORON, vitamin D3, vitamin k.
And the Drs still prescribe it! it's $$$
Or they are uninformed on what biophosphonates do to your bones
@@terrimobley6067 thanks
How sad for you! Fosomax should be off market !
I'm glad that I decided to view this video before placing an order on Amazon for calcium supplements.😊
Omg same here .. 😕
Dr Berry Thankyou!!do vibration machines increase bone density? Or is that a gimmick!? Appeciate you❣️
Very helpful. I fully agree.
Pat on the back, l get a physical every 3 or so years, my gyne put me on caltrate years ago. I probably took half a bottle. So glad I never listen to my doctors. Love your channel and will listen to you.
Thank you for your great videos Dr Berry! Love them! Can you please tell me, do we need the 1000mg or so of calcium per day through food? It is SO hard to get this amount per day without milk or taking supplements. I'm not having dairy products or supplements but am a little worried about this big number!
i have been saving eggshells, they are supposed to be 95% calcium and 5% collagen/minerals including some magnesium zinc boron, i am really wondering what dr berry's opinion on eggshells is. i commented already but no replies yet. lets have some opinions?
Thank You for this video that.s exactly what happened to me
I was taking calcium supplement now my both kidneys have a kidney stones and my kidneys are going bad
may God bless you for letting people know..
You are exactly correct. I had been taking calcium supplements for years, got kidney stones and my nephrologist told me to stop taking them.
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 !!!
Drinking milk calms you down because calcium is a natural mood leveler, leasing wide swings, much like a closely related mineral, lithium.
I've just dumped my calcium supp! I had a feeling about this for a while...
Me too!
All that matters is to take 1:1 ratio of Calcium and Magnesium Bisglycinate intake, along with Vitamin D3 in the morning (natural sun or supplement) and K2 in the evening.
@@rajikarzai6434 I’ve read 1000mg calcium to 500mg magnesium. Correct or not? This is confusing! One doc says don’t take calcium, another doc says we should. Calcium has always been pushed on me. My former doctor said I need 1200-1600mg of calcium. I have osteoporosis and OA
Thank you going to do all that you advised..
Wow Thank you Dr. Berry didn’t know that about calcium and milk that’s scary , I’m stopping immediately !, appreciate you ! 🙏🏾💜
I discovered this by experience - I was told I had osteoporosis, took the perscription meds and extra calcium for several years, but at each yearly bone scan my bones had not increased density!!! All the calcium supplements ever did for me was give me constipation which led to nasty painful problems in my nether regions! No more for a good while now, and no breaks either. I discovered the whole osteoporosis thing is an industry.
Which osteoporosis meds did you take? I was just advised to take one but I don't like the sound of all the possible side effects.
So, the big question I have is - what is the actual daily requirement for calcium? Is it zero? If not, what is the best source of calcium? Does your milk recommendation include raw milk too?
Almonds, spinach, sea kelp, cheese each have good sources of calcium.
Raw milk is dairy.
Well..done....with..good..information...thanks
