hi guys dr. Berg here in this video

we’re going to talk about vascular

calcification now this is the number one

cause of death and chronic kidney

disease it’s also the best predictor of

heart attacks way better than high

cholesterol or anything with LDL so

calcification what happens is the valves

the arteries the aorta is becoming

calcified is becoming stiffed there’s no

more elasticity and that leads to you

know heart heart attacks and the other

thing that it’ll do is it raises blood

pressure so that’s kind of a precursor

and if you’re getting blood pressure

from calcification of the arteries your

blood pressure will stay high it doesn’t

come down like some types of blood

pressure come up and down this one just

stays high because the arteries are

becoming calcified your arteries are

basically becoming bone so there’s a key

vitamin vitamin k2 responsible for

inhibiting calcification and making sure

that the arteries state arteries and the

bone stays bone so it drives calcium

from the vascular into the bone itself

so it’s good for off to ProSource

osteopenia and it’s a kind of a

calcification inhibitor so vitamin k2 is

always deficient in dialysis patients

you know end-stage renal failure

vascular calcification they’re always

going to be low in vitamin k2 it’s a

relatively new thing for people people

haven’t heard about it but it’s probably

going to be very popular in about 2 or 3

or 5 years from now because it’s amazing

actually it’s a it basically can reverse

hardening of the arteries so you want to

do your own research on that now the

other thing that works with vitamin k2

is d3 a vitamin d3 is also always

deficient in chronic kidney disease as

well as vascular calcification and

probably the reasons why bloating kidney

is because d3 the active form of d3 has

to be converted through the kidney and

so if that doesn’t happen you’re not

going to absorb it so therefore you’re

gonna have a lot of calcium issues

okay what do you get k2 well you can get

it from sauerkraut you can get it from

other fermented vegetables there’s also

a fermented soy in Japan called nado you

can get that even as a supplement it’s

also in all the grass-fed dairy butter

cheese it’s in grass-fed meat it’s in

grass like pasture-raised eggs egg yolk

so it’s in actually the fatty foods the

very foods that doctors have been

telling people to avoid because of heart

problems which is interesting but

vitamin k2 is an amazing decalcification

vitamin and if you’re on warfarin or a

cumin cumin which is basically a blood

thinner unfortunately that blocks this

whole process so you’re going to be

deficient in k2 so here you are

preventing a clot but that you end up

getting calcification so it’s really a

situation so hopefully the doctor can

give you other options but that is a

situation so I just wanted to summarize

if you go to the doctor and you’re

checking your cholesterol levels always

have them check for calcification in

your arteries and the carotid and see if

it’s a situation and if it is start

loading up with k2 I’ll put some links

down below to get some more data Thanks

what’s the next part what am I going to

say take 5 do it and where am I going
