when you do research on calcium deposits

in your body you’re going to see this

word that comes up over and over and

over and that word is idiopathic what

does that word mean it means unknown

cause there’s a lot of unknowns about

calcium deposits in your body but today

we’re going to talk about what we do

know and potential solutions to that and

I’m talking about bone spurs kidney

stones

osteophytes which are just like calcium

projections from your joints tartar in

the teeth calcium in the arteries

calcium that builds up in the brain or

the breast tissue or your skin or even

on the eyes or on the nerves what could

be behind all this calcification on your

tissues if you had an injury okay or an

infection or some type of surgery or

trauma chances are you may have Scar

Tissue chances are you have inflammation

in that area that can develop calcium

deposits in a joint from an old injury a

couple things that you should know you

need to keep the joint in motion the

more that you immobilize that joint the

more the calcium is going to start to

fuse it so motion is the answer to the

buildup of calcium in your joints also

there’s other things you can do like

things that will reduce inflammation

vitamin D as well as omega-3 fatty acids

now the next factor that relates to

calcium building up on your tissues is

the pH so normally your blood should be

slightly alkaline if the pH goes too

high and becomes too alkaline then

you’re going to have what’s called

alkalosis and that’s what I want to

touch on calcium tends to come out of a

solution in an alkaline environment very

similar to the spigot you have in your

backyard you may see calcium deposits on

the receptacle if the pH of your water

is to alkaline if your cortisol is too

high from years of chronic stress or

you’ve eaten a lot of sugar in your life

those two things can can bring you into

a state of alkalosis and what might

happen after that is you might start

developing calcium on the nerve tissue

first okay and that can show up in

tetany twitching like sometimes you have

this little twitching underneath your

left eyelid that’s kind of a sign of

alkalosis and this means that you need

to acidify your body a little bit more

so apple cider vinegar would be a really

good solution or start working on your

stomach like betaine hydrochloride your

pH problem might come from maybe years

of antacids or certain medications but

the real way to balance your pH is just

to eat healthy and avoid things that are

bad for you and your body will come into

the right pH it needs to be and there’s

one product that also works great if you

know you have a problem with alkalosis

and it’s a standard processed product

called cal ammo it has certain natural

compounds that acidify you so it

systemically acidifies your body and

it’s it’s really good for arthritis

alcohol this is calcium deposits number

three if you have high levels of calcium

in your blood it’s called hypercalcemia

you could potentially get deposits of

calcium through the body and it could

show up as kidney stones as well this

could occur if you’re consuming a lot of

calcium supplements or if you’re

consuming a lot of milk and this calcium

has nowhere to go and so it starts to

accumulate through the body now another

cause of this could potentially be

vitamin D toxicity taking way too much

vitamin D but I want to just mention

something about this I’ve done a lot of

videos on this it’s very rare to have

that happen

and honestly you’d have to be taking

hundreds of thousands of international

units of vitamin D for you to develop

hyper calcium so for someone that has

high calcium in their blood I would

really make sure that the person is not

consuming too many dietary calcium

supplements if any at all number two if

they have any problem with the

parathyroid gland I would definitely

increase vitamin D3 I wouldn’t decrease

it unless the person is taking a massive

amount of vitamin D3 for many many

months which is highly unlikely the more

likely cause would be something called

hyperparathyroidism which I’m going to

get to next but I do want to mention uh

two last points on this hypercalcemia

this high calcium in your blood

situation when someone has cancer or a

tumor they can start having high levels

of calcium in the blood which that’s

going to be more rare so I wouldn’t

necessarily look at that as a primary

cause I would first look at the dietary

calcium situation and this parathyroid

problem that’s actually just working too

fast so let’s just touch on

hyperparathyroidism okay you have four

parathyroid glands okay and they’re

located around your thyroid gland right

you can see it right here the base of

your neck okay

and so the parathyroid regulates calcium

and when your vitamin D is low okay

vitamin D has everything to do with

helping you absorb calcium it’ll

increase the absorption of calcium by 20

times right so if your vitamin D is low

like the majority of the population on

planet Earth well then your parathyroid

gland is going to have to work harder

to look around for calcium so it’s going

to look around and it’s going to go into

your bone and borrow calcium from the

bone

and grab it and bring it into the blood

and that can create a hypercalcemic high

calcium in the blood situation which is

interesting because we have vitamin D at

both spectrums one at the high level and

one at the low level but indirectly

causing the parathyroid to dump and

release a lot of calcium from the bone

into the blood so that is the mechanism

so this is why if you have some calcium

deposits when you take vitamin D okay

you may find that they improve they

might get better they might go away why

because then the parathyroid stops

having to work so hard and it stops

dumping all this calcium into the blood

now there’s other reasons for this

parathyroid gland to work excessively it

could be that you’re taking Lithium that

could be one side effect it could be

that you’re taking diuretics diuretics

can speed up your parathyroid or it

could be you have a very small tumor on

one of the glands that’s causing it to

work too fast it’s something to be aware

of and it should be in your radar you

know you can get it checked get an

ultrasound see if there’s a problem and

the good thing about the parathyroid

glands is let’s say you have a small

little

benign tumor on one of the glands well

guess what you got four so you have some

spares the best way to do with this is

to start it taking more vitamin D3 now

let’s talk about another reason why you

might have deposits and this has to do

with low phosphorus phosphorus is in a

lot of our different foods but more in

animal products than other products and

we need phosphorus for our DNA for our

energy for ATP 85 percent of all the

phosphorus is in our bones so it helps

to make the bones very strong and

phosphorus works with calcium too it

also works with vitamin D and so when

the phosphorus is low in the body

now we have a lot of free calcium that

is free to do whatever it wants to do

and it can actually start accumulating

on different tissues can accumulate

anywhere so by adding more of this

phosphorus you could potentially

dissolve some of these calcium deposits

because it keeps the calcium in check

and the type of phosphorus that I’m

going to recommend is from a company

Standard Process I recommend them a lot

I have no affiliation no Kickbacks or

anything like that there’s a product

called a phosphood liquid works great on

calcium deposits I used to use it in

practice and there’s a whole series of

other symptoms related to low phosphorus

that you can identify and the last

reason why you might have calcium

deposits is biofilm now what are

biofilms biofilms are little small

igloos that microbes make to hide from

you and so they can go underneath the

radar and it’s kind of like a community

of microbes that have and together to

survive and this is why antibiotics

don’t kill biofilms you can have

biofilms as tartar on your teeth you can

have biofilms in your arteries as

plaquing on the arteries you can also

have biofilms in your joints now vitamin

K2 vitamin K2 works with vitamin D3 K2

directs the calcium to go into the bone

so that way it works with vitamin D

vitamin D brings it into the blood K2

takes it from the blood into the bone to

make your bone really solid so if you’re

lacking vitamin K2 you could potentially

start having all sorts of deposits and

vitamin K2 is in hard cheeses soft

cheeses it’s in butter eggs and even

sauerkraut I forgot to mention one last

Point magnesium helps to reduce the

calcium deposits magnesium comes from

leafy greens if you’re doing a lot of

leafy greens you don’t have to worry

about get enough potassium you can also

get potassium from electrolyte powder or

things like that but potassium also

helps to regulate this calcium excess

problem but it’s not probably the

biggest common reason why you have

calcium deposits so I didn’t emphasize

it so I’ve given you a series of things

to look at to identify to see

potentially what could be your problem

but I would like you to learn a little

bit more about this vitamin K2 and if
