hi I’m back and we’re gonna talk about

vitamin k2 and something called

pathological calcification okay now what

is pathological calcification this is a

condition in your body where calcium is

developing in the wrong places it’s

usually involved in plaquing in the

arteries it could also be the

calcification of part of your stomach

kidney as in kidney stones or even

calcification in Pawleys cystic kidney

disease it could also be calcification

in your lungs

there’s calcification in the breast

tissue calcification of the cornea of

the eye so it’s calcium deposits

involved in certain disease states now

there’s a lot more to know about this

condition but I just wanted to give you

some of the basics so we have this

calcium that is developing in the soft

tissues of the body not in the bone this

calcium could be developing as a need to

act like a band-aid because there’s

oxidation in the vascular system or a

certain part of the body and let’s say

you don’t have enough vitamin E to

protect that oxidative lesion or

selenium which is a very powerful

antioxidant involved with glutathione

which is the main antioxidant of the

liver then you have the added ischemia

which is a lack of blood flow that

combination of low nutrients damage to

the tissues low blood flow calcium will

tend to invade and start to actually

heal the area at the expense of clogging

an artery now the other interesting

thing about this is calcium will tend to

accumulate in certain parts of the body

and involving the control of pH like the

kidneys like this stomach so the stomach

makes hydrochloric acid and if you’re

not making enough hydrochloric acid and

that stomach tissue becomes a little too

alkaline you’ll have calcium deposits

because of that then you have nano

bacteria which is the smallest known

bacteria they’re very tiny and you have

these little microbes that hide in these

little calcium shells or a little egg

loose to protect themselves as a

survival mechanism

almost impossible to kill with

antibiotics and they’re involved in so

many diseases that have calcification

connected to it like periodontal disease

or calcification the arteries or even

kidney stones

sometimes gall stones and just as a side

note if you suspect a nano bacteria

because you have calcification in any of

these locations I would recommend taking

folic acid and something called EDTA

this is the natural key later now let me

just shift gears to vitamin k2 vitamin

k1 has everything to do with clotting

okay preventing bleeding vitamin k2 is

completely different it’s involved in

about 17 different proteins involving

the movement of calcium out of the soft

tissue back into the bone out of the

soft tissue into the teeth for example

now there are other functions too for

example one being involved in the

mitochondria and this is one of the

reasons why if they have enough vitamin

k2 they have a lot of energy I

personally notice when I take vitamin k2

I’m much stronger when I work out so it

has a lot to do with building up the

mitochondria especially with skeletal

muscle and providing endurance so

vitamin k2 has about stopping some type

of bleeding going on the body vitamin k2

is the transportation of calcium and

then comes up the question is vitamin k2

a common vitamin deficiency and the

answer is yes absolutely many people are

deficient in vitamin k2 and it could be

for various reasons but vitamin k2 is in

organ meats it’s an egg yolks it’s in

butter it’s in hard cheeses it’s in

goose liver so if you’re in a low-fat

diet you may be deficient now it’s also

in fermented soybeans for example

there’s a product called NATO but in

America very few people consume

fermented soybeans as NATO unless you

live in Japan you’re probably not going

to consume that on a regular basis but

if you did you would get vitamin k2 now

you could take it from a supplement and

get vitamin k2 very easily but I just

wanted to point out

it was discovered in 1994 that if you’re

deficient the body will convert to

vitamin k2 and in 1998 it was discovered

that vitamin k1 could convert to vitamin

k2 without the bacteria like in your

flora because your microbes make

vitamins definitely vitamin k1

but even without this bacteria you can

actually make some k2

now here’s the problem what if you’re

also deficient in vitamin k1 what are

the common vitamin k1 foods the leafy

greens so for those people who don’t

consume enough greens or foods that have

k2 they are going to be deficient now I

also want to mention that antibiotics

will deplete vitamin k2 a low-fat diet

could be the reason why you have a low

vitamin k2 of course if you’re not

consuming the fermented soy nado if

you’re on statins that could be the

reason why you have low vitamin k2

mineral oil will deplete vitamin k2 GI

tract issues irritable bowel syndrome

celiac can cause malabsorption and lower

your k2 and if you have liver damage

let’s say you have a fatty liver that

could also be the reason why you have

low vitamin k2 and there’s another

important point that’s quite interesting

professor Bruce Ames developed something

called a triage theory and that theory

goes like this if you the subclinical

vitamin deficiency and let’s say you

have some of the vitamin but you don’t

have the full required amount the body

will then ration out what it has only

for those actions involving short-term

survival and it will not allocate that

nutrient for all of the functions that

don’t involve short-term survival so

when we talk about vitamin k1 and let’s

say you had a subclinical deficiency of

vitamin k1 which means you didn’t have

enough of it the body’s going to

allocate that to coagulation first which

is going to involve the stopping of any

type of broken blood vessels or bleeding

internally before any is Alec

to the calcium removal and I really

think this right here is the reason why

so many people have calcium building up

in the wrong place simply because they

either don’t have enough vitamin k1 to

convert to k2 or they’re not consuming

enough of the k2 or they’re on

antibiotics or they might be in statins

or they have digestive issues or a fatty

liver those are the more common reasons

why we have this problem it can also be

a low vitamin E combined with adding a

lot of sugar to your diet and high carbs

which create the oxidation in the first

place which then can even make you

susceptible to certain types of bacteria

which make things worse so in summary if

you have calcification what you need to

do is take some of this some of this

right here make sure you start taking

vitamin k2 because if you’re trying to

get this from food probably is not going

to be enough you want to take larger

quantities to start actually reversing

some of this damage right here and I

would definitely start beefing up no pun

intended vitamin k1 by consuming more

leafy greens and if you don’t have any

symptoms of any type of calcium buildup

as a preventative measure I would do

healthy Kido which is large amounts of

greens healthy fats to get your k2 and

your gonna be totally bulletproof thanks
