hey guys dr. Burke here in this short

video I want to talk about calcium

magnesium so let’s talk about the

function first of all calcium yes we

know it’s for your bones it’s for your

teeth but really it’s for the muscles

the nervous system and mainly cellular

communication it’s one of the main

minerals that helps the cells

communicate okay and so many people have

either too much calcium or not enough

okay if you have too much calcium you

have soft tissue calcium you have heel

spurs kidney stones tartar on the teeth

hardening of the arteries you’re going

to get blood pressure that goes up

you’re going to get stiffness in the

joints you’re going to get arthritis

bursitis tendinitis all the itis and

that’s coming from too much calcium now

if you did not take enough magnesium

with it the calcium will build up in the

body that’s why you should always take

it together so for someone to take just

straight calcium I would never recommend

that okay so because you need magnesium

to help mobilize and make calcium

function so it controls the muscle the

nerve function even blood clotting as

well so magnesium on the other hand

helps the muscles relax helps the nerves

transmit especially in the heart if

you’re deficient in magnesium you’ll

typically have arrhythmias atrial fib

and problems with the nervous system in

relationship to connection with with the

muscle itself it’s a central nervous

system brain relaxer okay so it’s great

for sleeping so now in order to absorb

these two minerals you need vitamin D C

people are associated by Dan in D

absorption with just calcium but you

magnesium needs it just as much as

calcium so what is vitamin D do it helps

absorb calcium magnesium by 20 X in

these in the small intestines so it

absorbs it and it brings it up into the

blood and by the way as a side note when

you’re deficient in vitamin d3 you can

get nosebleeds and you can have

excessive bleeding of the menstruation

like the menstrual cycle

so just realize one of the remedies to

help heavy bleeding or nosebleeds is

take some vitamin d3 you can get it from

the Sun or just take it as a supplement

okay so that’s what vitamin D does it

helps to transport these minerals and up

into the blood but you also need to go

further into the bones right and to do

that you need another vitamin called

vitamin k2 okay vitamin k2 is a fat

soluble vitamin so vitamin d3 so vitamin

k2 is different than vitamin k1 it

transports calcium from the joints from

the arteries into the bone so if you

have soft tissue calcium buildup it

could be that your magnesium is fine

it’s just that you need vitamin k2 so

how do you become k2 division well just

avoid all fats because vitamin k2 is in

all the grass-fed butter in animal

products okay it’s also in a vegetarian

product called NATO which is a fermented

soy make sure you get non-gmo but the

point is that vitamin k2 is essential in

the full transportation of these two

minerals into the right place okay so we

need we need these two in a certain

balance we need these two in the body

but we also need this last thing right

here which is an acidified stomach so

many people as they age if they have

heartburn GERD constipation they have an

alkaline stomach it’s too alkaline they

need an acidic stomach to be able to

absorb these minerals so if you have

heartburn for example or indigestion we

know your stomach doesn’t have enough

acid and that valve won’t close so if

the valve won’t close the acid comes up

so if you have a nice enough of strong

acid in your stomach the valve closes

and everything is cool but if you have

that problem that means you don’t have

enough acid so you can’t mobilize these

minerals and they don’t really get

absorbed so what you have to do is take

some upside of vinegar pills or the

actual apple cider vinegar and some

water drink with a straw and start to

acidify the body to pull these minerals

into the tissues okay

now what are the ratios calcium

magnesium number one you know people say

well you need two to one ratio too much

too

• two times as much calcium as magnesium

well I disagree because so many people

that I’ve come across they have I

already have too much calcium they’re

like they have their stiffness they have

joint issues they have Spurs they have

all sorts of calcium issues we dumped

more calcium into the body we’re going

to have a problem unless they have

osteoporosis if they bas prosess I might

do a two to one but everyone else I

would do 1:1 ratio

why because not very many people get

enough magnesium because they don’t have

enough leafy greens that’s where you get

it from all the vegetable family you get

calcium from broccoli and other things

but realize that broccoli and even kale

have they’re a little bit higher in

oxalates so sometimes that might block

the absorption of calcium so an even

spinach as well so that’s why you need

the lemon juice I have that in the other

video so there’s a I don’t want to

confuse you but here’s the point I like

to get my calcium from a little dairy so

maybe there are some grass fed you know

cheese or something like that a little

bit each day and you have enough calcium

so I don’t like to take too much calcium

but if you’re going to take it take a

small amount one-to-one ratio and you

can take more of it if you’re doing some

program or detox or you know you have

osteoporosis or you’re maybe you’re

trying to sleep or get rid of a cramp in

your calf which that’s an indication

that you need this but the point is that

I want you to understand that there’s a

lot of different factors involved in the

balancing of these two minerals the

absorption of these two minerals from

the stomach having the stomach pH it’s

not just a matter of oh I’m going to

take this vitamin because someone told

me to take it you have to think with it

and take it when you need it and so

you’re not taking too much alright so I

just wanted to kind of review all that

I’ll put some notes below and definitely

continue to watch my videos and make

comments below I’ll see in the next
