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.

Did your mothers or yourself take Magnesium, Vitamin D3, and Vitamin K2 every day as well? And enough iodised Seasalt against demineralisation? B Vitamins high dose because of malabsorption with age? Drink enough but not too much good drinking water? Stress? Pain or Anxiety? Social Connectedness? No high-oxalate diet? Pray regularly to the good shepherd? Did she listen to her doctor and take any medicine like against high blood pressure? Instead of fixing gut health!, diet balance, nervous system function and cardiovascular membrane elasticity. If you read this and are interested it can’t hurt to check out Sally K. Norton and her 2023 book ‚Toxic Superfoods‘ about some ‚modern‘ Food Recommendations are unhealthy and why! She explains Calcium Metabolism too, I fixed kidney stones in a few month with her diet *optimisation* no new stone forming after 4 years of *stones* 😊

so many health experts recommend alkalization, and others suggest the opposite. nutrition is so controversial and confusing.

[@johnowens22]

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.

[@jefflebowski918]

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.

[@rickytarkowski2490]

Wrong

[@TheLeoLitCentral]

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.

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.

What about calcium Citrate Malate with vitamin D and Folic Acid?

[@heatherallingham7120]

Wow...thanks so much. Doctors have INSISTED I take this stuff. Not taking it anymore. I'm going to take the K2 for a couple of months and see what happens. Thanks so much

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?

How about calcium lactate. Dr Berg recommended this. It was fine to take this even children for cough mucus. I bought some.

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

[@shaharpaz]

hi dr.berg i wondered if you could make a video about fillers like stearic acid , magnesium stearate , calcium stearate and many more... ?

[@nilsolsen8727]

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.

[@rogana5158able]

I tried to flash mine or put them down the sink, but they wouldn't budge unless I poured boiling water on them at high pressure for four minutes. So I buried them.

[@NightStars1122]

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

[@katenkaren6692]

Citrate

[@murphsviews]

@@katenkaren6692 isn’t calcium citrate just calcium carbonate mixed with citric acid?

[@murphsviews]

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.

[@karlies.9857]

I take a serrapeptase supplement and one of the ingredients is "calcium from serrateric" the enteric coating. Is that ok to take or is that still a bad form of calcium?

[@JD-59]

Chalk is made of calcium carbonate. So, is calcium citrate the best form if supplementation is needed? Or is there another, better form of calcium???

[@shehnaztahir-q5y]

I have a Question, I was reading your blog, and the RDI for vitamin D is 1200IU but According to WHO, it is 600IU for adults? Which one is correct?

[@irfanraja308]

DR Berg What is your opinion about Algae Calcium, that is also plant based calcium but still calcium carbonate, please reply.

[@AlvinaRayne]

I am so sad that Cashew and almond milk are LOADED with Calcium Carbonate! I drink that stuff like a fish.... :-( I will start making my own now

[@iOwnzNubz1]

Fish drink milk?

[@SS-is9nv]
