STOP Taking Calcium Supplements (What to Know) 2024

[@marthaferguson9244]

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.

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

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.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

same here none of this crap works!

[@pabloblanco2656]

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

[@angelicafreund8551]

You are so correct about Fosamax

[@angelicafreund8551]

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

[@pabloblanco2656]

@@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.

[@teresaminick1169]

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.

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

[@susansimpson2423]

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.

[@dorsetboronia2570]

@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!

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.

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).

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.

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

I couldn’t lose weight, so I started following intermittent fasting (by way of Dr Jason Fung) but my pudgy endocrinologist doesn’t accept the studies showing it’s safe & helpfull. I lost 47 lbs‼️. I’ve been able to get off several medications & I’m not hungry. The video that plays after yours says we’re dying from too much fat. He also believes a calorie is a calorie. He also advises a low fat, low calorie diet. He says women need less than men & short people need less. So according to him, I will lose a pound a week on a 1400 calorie diet or less. Did you know that? How does he explain my weight loss? With intermittent fasting, I can eat whatever I want (fat & calorie wise) and I’m still losing albeit more slowly. Also, I’m NOT hungry!

I have been taking calcium for about 10 years. July 2021 I had a coronary artery calcium score test and my number was 225 in my aortic. I still took a calcium for a year after that beause a heart doctor told me to just eat low fat foods and do cardio. I have learned so much in the last few months it's mind boggling. My husband also took the calcium score test. He eats mostly whole 30 foods. His score was 18.

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 !!

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.

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.

ONE QUESTION: Do you have any patients who have undergone roux-en-y surgery for weight loss? I am 29 years post op and MUST take a boatload of supplements because the surgery creates malabsorption issues as part of the weight loss/control mechanism. I was prescribed 1500mg of calcium citrate daily as part of my supplement regimine. I hope others in my situation think hard before stopping their calcium supplements without speaking with their own doctors. It is a real shame that medical doctors don't get enough education in nutrition and staying healthy. I am no expert but have created some puzzled looks and silent responses when I ask most of my doctor's about food/nutritional issues. Kudos to you for taking an interest and doing your research. And yes, kidney stones ARE more painful than anything medical I have experienced, and I am a 68 year old "chubby chick with bad bones" (4total joint replacements this far) and numerous surgeries.

[@H.C.Q.]

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

I fully believe that if I had been given a calcium supplement as a child, instead of just a child multi-vitamin, I would not have had a mouth full of cavities. My mother did not let me eat candy or drink soda, but I still had cavities. After my first pregnancy, 28 years ago, I had to have nine fillings re-done. With my second pregnancy, I took a calcium supplement (which had magnesium and D) and only had two fillings which needed to be re-done. In both cases I took a pregnancy multi-vitamin.

My husband has had kidney stones three times since he turned 40 nine years ago. He's also had an MI and has A-fib. He was in the hospital just a week and a half ago and they were literally discussing the possibility of bypass surgery in his near future. Not once during any of these incidents did they mention Calcium. I now feel terrible that I've had him on a 500 mg Calcium supplement for months. I hope that was not the reason he wound up in the hospital this last time. Of course, even if it is part of it, I know it's not the only reason. His Cardiologist always pushes Vegetarian eating and especially low-fat. He tried that for a few months but it did nothing but make him gain lots of weight, so he gave up trying to eat healthily. After that, he became a serious sugar/starch addict, to the point of consuming more than 200g of carbs a day sometimes (most of it being processed sugars). Our PCP told him a few months ago that he is now pre-diabetic, but it did nothing to change his habits. Luckily, three weeks ago I started on Keto and he's been witness to the results. After this last stint in the hospital, he has decided to try it with me, even against his Cardiologist's advice (that doctor REALLY hates Keto...). In just over a week he's already lost 10 lbs despite not being as strict with it as I have been. After he tested for ketones today and saw he had none after his carb-fest the other day, he has promised to become more dedicated to it, though, so I suspect his results will come even faster soon. I wish I could have results like his, but he's 70lbs heavier than me, only drank sodas before going into the hospital, and does not have to inject insulin like I do, so it makes sense he would lose faster than me, especially at the beginning. I'm just happy he's trying. I never thought I would be able to get him to give up sodas, but I suppose talk of cracking his chest open was enough to scare some sense into him.

[@Pecan215]

The healthiest way of eating is moderate protein, lower carbohydrate, higher healthy fats, which puts us into ketosis, or a fat burning state. For clairification: This means that it burns off the fat on our bodies (same as weight loss)d, it's not referring to burning the fat we are eating. Think Dr. Berry promotes KETO (or ketosis way of eating). Low fat was another one of those medical schemes that was started back in - I think it was likely started in the 60's. However, there has been a huge amount of new research that shows that higher healthy fats do a world of good for all kinds of health issues, including diabetes. One of the best sources from an expert is Dr. Jason Fung, who has his own KZbin channel....look him up. He is an internist who specializes in kidney disease and could not understand why his kidney and diabetes patients never got well, in spite of all medial treatment. He figured out that the problem was the way these people were eating. Read his stories on KZbin because you will be blown away by his work. Believe his work is the basis for the KETO movement today. The pharmaceutical companies really do not like KETO because it heals people's diabetes and that means they don't need to buy all the RX drugs for diabetes. Another phase people often go to is called Intermittent Fasting. Depending upon how you do your fasting, it can cure a lot of illnesses through a phase called "autophagy". Autophagy activates our growth hormone and people start looking a lot younger. I did. Read up on that.

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.
