hey dr. Berg here in this video we’re

going to talk about the risks of calcium

supplements that’s right primarily the

supplement calcium carbonate now calcium

carbonate is a form of calcium that is

basically the limestone it’s rocks and

that’s in probably all of the most

popular traditional multivitamins and

calcium supplements that you get on the

market from CVS and it’s the most common

recommended calcium by doctors okay it’s

pretty much it’s rock stone you can

you’d be better off chewing on the

cement outside because it’s not meant

for humans alright there’s been some new

research that even says that when you

take calcium carbonate in vitamin D it

does nothing for bones I provided a link

in fact it will increase the risk of

cardiovascular accidents or incidents

now why is that because when you have

plaquing that plaquing is not just

cholesterol plaquing it’s calcium

plaquing but you don’t really hear any

anti calcium movement it’s more like

anti cholesterol which is very

interesting because if you have coronary

artery calcification which is too much

plaquing in those arteries your risk

factors for heart attacks go up by 1,600

percent and I really I think I know why

number one it’s the source of calcium

that you’re taking which is the wrong

source and then the other thing is that

every decade a person ages there are pH

in their in their stomach it gets weaker

and weaker and weaker now in its normal

stomach and and you can check on this I

created a gall bladder video you should

watch if you want more information on

this but the stomach should be between

one and three that’s if you ever studied

chemistry pH neutral is 7 and then it

goes down that’s more acid okay so if

it’s a 1 it’s so acidic it can dissolve

a razorblade

so it should be between 1 and 3 and

that’s very acid that’s why you need

this stomach very acid but every decade

you age you lose some of that acid when

you get into your 50s 60s 70s and 80s

oh my gosh there’s hardly any acid in

your stomach and that’s why you see a

lot of people when they get older to

start having indigestion

gasps heartburn that is not too much

acid that’s not enough acid and some of

the waste acid is coming up through the

lower intestinal tract splashing up here

and that’s why they’re taking things

like Bravo sack and tums which is the

exact opposite thing you want to do

because now we’re going to take out that

last bit of acid they had and they’re

not going to digest and they’re going to

just feel bloated and they have to keep

taking it so it’s not very corrective

but anyway when you lose your stomach

acids your blood pH starts becoming a

bit more alkaline - okay so when it

comes to alkaline now you can’t absorb

calcium calcium is very alkaline in

order to absorb it you need a very

acidic stomach and a very aslam the

correct pH in your blood you don’t want

it too alkaline

it’s called alkalosis calcium does not

absorb where does it go if it’s not

absorbing in the bone of the muscle it’s

going on top of the bone as arthritis

bursitis tendinitis on the joints is

it’s calcium deposits heel spurs

cataracts on the eyes on the nerve is

twitching on the left I get cramps in

the lower calf’s

you’ll get stones and the kidney stones

in the gallbladder calcification of your

arteries yeah that’s all from pH

problems so we have also what caused the

alkaline pH would be high levels of

stress or that high cortisol that

adrenal hormone again that can also make

your pH so alkaline that your calcium

won’t be really absorbed properly it’s

kind of like if you ever go outside and

your faucet outside you’ll see that

little calcium ring around the faucet

that’s because the pH is a too alkaline

in the water and that calcium comes on a

solution and deposits around the little

ring and it’s just a pH thing so again

your body’s people are becoming

calcified and especially because you’re

taking so much calcium carbonate all

right

another cause would be excess vitamin D

this is interesting because how many

people are taking vitamin D now now I

did create a video on vitamin D and you

should watch it if you have not I think

it’s under the new it’s in one of the

blog videos you’ll be able to find on

the page but here’s the interesting

thing about vitamin D vitamin D takes

the calcium from your stomach and puts

it into the blood it concentrates it

into the blood all right and then from

the blood vitamin F which is the helper

vitamin takes it into the tissues the

bones things like that so if you’re not

having enough vitamin F which very few

people even know what that vitamin is

and I’ll just buy them in D and calcium

carbonate and you’re older oh my gosh

you’re just like calcifying your meat

you becoming a rock you’re going to get

stiff you can have all sorts of stones

kidney stones what you need to do is

take a vitamin F vitamin F is in the

flax oil cod liver oil but flax oil is a

really good vitamin F source okay so

that would help you balance out vitamin

F I’m just having vitamin D so they both

work together another cause of excess

vitamin D would be stress because that

cortisol again depletes and blocks the

absorption of vitamin D these are all

just potential causes of problems with

with calcification on your arteries that

I want you to look at rather than just

having a one view point you know fixed

idea on it so we got low vitamin F

stress and low bile okay now we got

we’re back to the gallbladder again bile

is the detergent that breaks down the

grease it’s made by that liver it comes

with a gallbladder it helps you absorb

fats specifically fat soluble vitamins

and that would be vitamin D vitamin D is

a fat-soluble so if we have a liver

problem or gallbladder problem or no

gallbladder at all you don’t really

absorb vitamin D very well and so you’re

going to be taking all this vitamin D

but it’s not really going in your bias

being stored in the liver and the kidney

and that’s why too much vitamin D

causes more stones and kidney stones

things like that and just as a side note

vitamin A helps protect against kidney

stones as well and that would be in the

kale okay I remember that now there’s

two types of minerals you have rock base

minerals from the soil and then you have

plant based minerals the way nature is

intended is the plant is designed to

break down the rocks in the soil and

through enzymes and break them pull them

into the plant and convert them into a

plant base mineral that then we can

actually observe in our bodies that’s

how its design but people don’t pay

attention to that they just eat the

rocks like calcium carbonate I’m going

to recommend you get your calcium from

not necessarily milk because it’s

pasteurized unless you have a raw milk

because when you heat the milk you you

actually destroy the absorption of the

calcium but more in a fermented milk

source would be something like cheese

yogurt kefir or any of the greens like

spinach has a lot of calcium or almonds

or other nuts or sea kelp okay so I just

wanted to again bring your awareness up

on this darn calcium because if you

think you’re getting your calcium from

taking that calcium carbonate which the

bottle is like a paperweight it’s so

heavy it’s it’s a joke and now they’re

finding the calcium carbonate actually

causes you know heart heart heart

attacks it’s just insane so again we

boil down to the problem where if you’re

going to someone they’re not trained

properly in nutrition you may get the

wrong advice
