hey guys dr. Burke here in this video

we’re gonna talk about something called

spinal stenosis okay stenosis is the

Greek word that means narrowing you can

have stenosis of the arteries we’re

going to talk about stenosis of the

spinal column

you know the spine that goes from your

head all the way down to your lower back

this condition basically there’s just

not enough space in that column so it

prep that presses on the spinal cord all

right so it’s narrowing of this space

pressing on the cord causing pain and it

could be in the neck it could be in the

low back it could be in the mid back or

sciatica down the legs or even pain down

the arms okay so that’s pretty much what

it is now what is the cause of this okay

if you look it up it’ll say the cause is

age-related you’re just getting older

bone spurs thinning of the discs which

kind of collapse the space as well

arthritis okay that’s what it says but

what is the real underlying cause of

this because a lot of people have this

and they don’t really know what to do

about it other than surgery okay so what

is the actual cause of spinal stenosis

okay

now normally there is a certain factor

or a certain chemical that is supposed

to inhibit bone spurs and the formation

of calcium deposits in the soft tissues

normally there should not be an excess

of calcium deposits and the ligaments

around the spinal column and when that

occurs it can constrict and narrow the

spinal column

okay well that factor is called MGP long

word for it is carboxylated matrix GLA

protein if you really want to know that

so when you’re deficient in MGP you’re

not going to be able to get rid of the

spur formation or the excess calcium

deposits so MGP is a potent inhibitor of

not just vascular calcification that

makes your arteries hardened but joint

calcification as well it basically helps

you bind calcium and

move it in places that it shouldn’t be

and puts it in the bone where it should

be okay so the question is why is this

missing it’s really not missing it just

isn’t it’s missing the activator there’s

a certain activating a vitamin that is

missing that’s supposed to turn kick

this and turn the thing on and that’s

called vitamin k2 okay

you probably heard of vitamin k1 vitamin

k2 is all about triggering this compound

to then mobilize calcium from the wrong

place and put it into the correct place

okay vitamin k2 is usually deficient in

the diet because many people do not

consume grass-fed products because it’s

it’s really only in the grass-fed animal

products it’s in the grass-fed dairy

grass-fed meats

it’s in egg yolks from chickens that are

grass fed like pasture raised not grain

fed any animal products that are fed

grains you’re not going to see a lot of

vitamin k2 so you definitely want to do

the grass-fed now if you’re a vegetarian

you might want to consume something

called NATO which is a fermented soy

product which you will see by the Mackay

• so one of the factor that could be

diminishing the absorption would be your

gall bladder or your liver is damaged

because you need normal bile to absorb

this fat soluble vitamin k2 alright so

if there’s not enough bile or goblet

problem or don’t have a gall bladder

that could be the reason why so I put a

link down below of the natural version

of vitamin k2 which is called mk7 I

don’t recommend doing the mk4 version

that is synthetic alright and I also put

some research down below for additional

information about k2 but just make sure

you start consuming more grass-fed

especially if you have spinal stenosis
