0:00 Introduction: Calcium for bone health
0:47 The risk of calcium supplements
2:32 Calcium channel blockers
3:13 Osteoporosis and scurvy symptoms
4:44 Remedy for osteoporosis and osteopenia
In this video, I'm going to share one of the biggest regrets I had in practice. I used to recommend 1200 mg of calcium, especially to post-menopausal women for bone health and people with osteoporosis or osteopenia.
People with osteoporosis lack calcium in their bones, but every osteoporotic person has excess calcium outside of the bone.
Fifteen independent clinical trials found that people taking an extra 500 mg of calcium per day had a 30% increased risk for heart attacks and 20% for strokes. One study that followed 61,000 people over 19 years showed that people taking over 1400 mg of calcium per day had a 114% increased risk of heart attack.
The average multivitamin is packed full of calcium carbonate. Coincidentally, ⅓ of all adults in America have calcification in their arteries. Consuming excess calcium doesn't mean it will go straight to your bones!
Calcium has a vital role in cellular communication. There is 1000 to 10,000 times more calcium outside the cell than inside the cell. Too much intracellular calcium leads to cell death. In fact, calcium accumulation is an independent risk factor of all-cause mortality.
Instead of taking large amounts of calcium for bone loss, vitamin C could help.
At least 6000 mg of vitamin C daily, broken up into 2 to 4 doses, may help improve bone health. Adequate vitamin C may help suppress osteoclasts-the cells that break down your bone. It can also help the absorption of calcium into the bone.

Thanks for watching! I hope this explains why I regret recommending calcium supplements for bone health. I’ll see you in the next video.
When was the last time any Doctor ever admitted that they made a mistake or didn't have the right information! This kind of integrity is what sets Dr. Berg apart from the rest! Maximum respect and salutations to Dr. Berg's great character!
Being humble enough to revisit topics you was misinformed about is why I sub to ur channel. That’s super humble of you Doc. 🔥🤝🏿🤝🏿 your content is way too valuable, we don’t even deserve you at this point 🔥🔥
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words and support. It means a lot to me to know that you find my content valuable.
I've learnt so much from Dr Berg that he's my 1st " go-to" channel everytime I need to research anything.
@@DrbergYes,Dr Berg, I'm sure a lot of us in our senior years say " if I knew then what I know now!" Thanks for your great videos. 👍💖
@@Drbergcould you do a video on Calcium and people with Achlorhydria? I was told that people with Achlorhydria have issues getting enough? Sometimes I think it is a problem, because if I get Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness from yardwork/other...if I start drinking A2/A2 milk is the ONLY thing that will help, otherwise it last for WEEKS...But if I drink up to a gallon over a day or two I recover in that time frame...and the "shift/benefit" starts within minutes to a half hour or so and just gets better the more I drink ... it's expensive to drink that much milk so regularly... I don't know what else might be better?
@@Drberg...also. I do take: electrolytes of: Celtic Sea Salt, Potassium Chloride, and ionic magnesium.... Wondering if you have any information for Achlorhydria and adding calcium chloride? I have some sort of severe reaction to manufactured Citrate/Citric Acid so I can't take normal/highly absorbable calcium like everyone else... (It's probably the Black Mold and corn they use to make Citric Acid from...I seem to be very sensitive to mold and currently seeking to get away from current home w same issues)
Wife just went to the doctor and they wanted to put her on calcium because she's in menopause. I said hold up I don't think so. Her calcium levels are normal on bloodwork, she eats plenty of dairy and leafy greens (we eat healthy whole foods), she resistance trains 4x a week for 2 hours at a time (read what that does for osteoporosis) and she supplements with D and K2 (plus other supplements including extra C) There's absolutely no medical necessity or reason for her to take a calcium supplements unless she wants to harden her arteries and have a heart attack but I'm kinda partial to having her around so nope.
Good job, Big Bad Wolfe!
So I'm guessing she does the resistance training to avoid osteoporosis? Or was she diagnosed with it and reversed it? Just curious, thank you😁
Excellent decision ❤
Well done. I've done the same for my mother as well and threw away her calcium tablets. The doctors gave her.
@maryfolks9368 Actually we lift weights for general health and to keep the muscle from atrophy and bone density is just a side effect. Also with resistance training you can completely avoid frailty most of the time
This is how science is supposed to work: New data emerges & if it disproves previous theories, the theories change. Nicely done, Dr. Berg! 😊
I recently had a bone density scan and my doctor was amazed ...said she has never seen such a wonderful bone density scan in a 60 year old... Never have I taken calcium. Vit D3 helps me with my bones.
Do you take K2 with yiur D3? Can I ask what amount you take of the D3?
@@maryfolks9368I personally use an Emulsified liquid D3/K2 drop from my practitioner it's excellent! 5 drops per day is 5000 IU's, been doing this for 12 years now 😊
Only vit D3 supplement did you take or any others supplement?
I take Berberine w Ceylon cinnamon complex 2000 mg, prenatal vitamins, advsnc d berberine hcl 500mg, milk thistle seed extract 1000 mg, magnesium citrate250mg, D3 125mcg, turmeric complex 500mg, potassium glauconite 595mg, Vit B12 1000mg, fish oil 1000mg w Omega 3/300mg, vit B6 100mg, black cohosh 40 mg, Vit E180mg, VitB1 100mg, B complex plus vit C, ( just saw this contains 175 mg calcium, vit c 300mg, thiamin /b1 15mg, riboflavin /B2 14.3mg, niacin 50mg, vit B4 5mg, pantotheric acid 10mg) I also do Reiki daily ( i am a master reiki practitioner of Sekhem-Seichim Reiki SKHM and Usui Reiki. )
@@maryfolks9368no. I have lots of other vitamins I take ... multivitamin of B's, but I do take a prenatal vitamin to cover anything I forget
Calcium without K2 and D3 present at the same time can be extremely dangerous.
Also use calcium citrate if you can. It's the most easily absorbed form.
I thought this video was going to be another public message regarding D3/K2. He didn't even bring it up.
Magnesium, b12
@@FredPerps Excuse me?
Interesting about the need for vit C
The main point, is that we are all here to learn and do research. At some point, we have all been either misinformed or lied to. Thank God we have the ability to continue learning, increasing our knowledge, and making those corrections when they occur. So please, we cannot dwell on our past mistakes... Dr. Berg, you have been instrumental in helping many people acquire and maintain our good health. Thank you for that. Keep looking forward - keep learning. LIFE - we're in this together !
Agreed and I’d like to emphasize the important fact you mention that everyone has been misinformed and lied to extensively. Knowing that, we can be more curious and steadfast in taking responsibility and trying things for ourselves.
00:14 💊 Excessive calcium supplementation, especially for postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, may increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. 01:50 🩸 Calcium doesn't just go to the bones; it has various functions including cellular communication. Accumulation of calcium can lead to cell death and is independently associated with higher mortality rates. 03:29 🍊 Severe vitamin C deficiency, as in scurvy, can lead to bone resorption and osteoporosis. Therapeutic doses of vitamin C, especially magnesium ascorbate, may help address osteoporosis by reducing pathogenic calcification. 06:28 🥛 Excessive intake of calcium supplements and antacids may contribute to soft tissue calcification. Magnesium, vitamin K2, and a balanced trace mineral complex are crucial for bone health, along with a diet rich in high-quality protein.
Too add, avoid any and all foods that are fortified with artificial calcium - Calcium Carbonate, Tricalcium Phosphate, etc, usually present on bottom shelf aisles and in commonly preserved foods in cans and jars.
Thank you for the summary!! Really appreciate
@@lars2894 Calcium Carbonate is also highly used in “Fortified” milk and dairy alternative products. Like almond, coconut, or oat milks.
@@FrenchCocoa369 It's only the bottom shelf nondairy milks that fortiy everything. Mid to top shelf brands are usually safe! Elmhurst, Malk, Hazelicious, and Three Trees are all good options, as well as "organic releases" from low-end brands like Califia.
@@amandavargas443 "He" is not a person. "He" is an aye eye tool.
Thank you for sharing this. Now I understand another reason my mother went down so fast. There's no limits on charges for murder, so WHY are these pharmaceutical companies not held liable for killing our loved ones? THEY KNEW the dangers OF EVERYTHING THEY CREATED. That greed makes them not care. 🤬
My Mom trusted the medical community completely. I finally convinced her to check with her doctors to find out if she was on too many meds; toxicity. Turns out she was. In the end, she died prematurely, I believe, because they were constantly subjecting her to one operation and unnecessary procedure after another. Heartbreaking
Yes calcium meds as studied years ago leads to heart failure & kidney disease sadly 😢
The entire system is serious orgsnise crime and they farm us like csttle from 'cradle to grave'. This is what we pay and work for.
at least 20 years ago i hrard a doc on tv talking about taking extra calcium causing jeart attacks. at the time noone paid any attention to the advice. this doc also said it was calcium consumed in youth and teens that had far reaching effects on levels later in life. i began to pass on what i heard only to find derision etc. slowly as time passed a few people began to medically acquire the same results.
I'm very sorry about your mom. @@ritafrahm4318
Foods rich in Vit C are: Bell peppers, strawberries, broccoli, lemons, kale, Brussels sprouts, parsley, thyme, sauerkraut among others 😊🫑🍋🍓🥦
Kimchi is delicious.
How about cabbage? Is this good for calcium?
@@NansGlobalKitchen cabbage is rich in calcium, folate, potassium, magnesium, vitamins A and K, and more.
@@mwilliams369Kiwis have a lot of Vitamin C and are good for detoxification. Supports healing from cancer and healing the liver.
While these are all healthy, good food choices, they do not carry enough nutrients to reach a therapeutic dose. Supplements or even IV infusions will provide the high levels of vitamin C that stimulate bone growth, combined with the other necessary vitamins Dr Berg highlights in his video. The book World Without Cancer, G Edward Griffin, backs up what Dr Berg is saying.
I never listened to all my doctors suggesting I take calcium supplements ! Thank goodness !!!
Great!
@@Drberg thank you for being wise & caring, a man that says 'i wish i had known' (like so many people do nowadays, right), is an intelligent insightfull person, to say the least, most 'doctors' continue with 'protocol' etc, i'm very ill & thank to wonderful people like you, we can help ourselves with trustworthy advice, blessings, from Belgium
Why not? I would of , just because I didn’t know better.
Your continuous dedication is highly appreciated. Thank you, Dr Berg 🙏🏻❤
Thank you kindly.
The One Big REGRET I have in KZhead was not subscribing to Dr Berg sooner! 😢
Same here bro
Perfect timing just recently my Doctor recommended calcium. Lemon 🍋 water for me& magnesium for me
I'm glad this video came at the right time for you.
Omg this is serendipity, I was just about to buy some calcium tablets, due to my osteoarthritis. So happy I came across this post

In fact, calcium accumulation is an independent risk factor of all-cause mortality. Calcium channel blockers are often prescribed for high blood pressure, but they can also help improve other chronic diseases like ALS, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer's. They can also decrease the risk of coronary artery spasms and angina. Research suggests that calcium channel blockers reduce the risk of all-cause mortality. Instead of taking large amounts of calcium for bone loss, vitamin C could help. Scurvy is a condition caused by severe vitamin C deficiency. Here are some of the symptoms of scurvy: • Bone resorption • Decreased synthesis of collagen • Osteolysis (destruction of bone) • Osteonecrosis (death of bone) • Osteopenia • Osteoporosis • Oxidative stress/inflammation • Calcification outside the bone At least 6000 mg of vitamin C daily, broken up into 2 to 4 doses, can help improve bone health. Adequate vitamin C can suppress osteoclasts-the cells that break down your bone. It can also help the absorption of calcium into the bone. Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍
What’s a natural calcium channel blocker ? .. magnesium
Note this everyone: look up dr berg- the best vitamin c and the worst vitamin c and also the 4 things about vitamin c that are quite shocking. While you’re at at it, check out all of his vitamin c videos
Wonderful sense of responsibility as always Dr. Berg. Each and every action of yours is appropriated always. Keep up the great work going. Thanks.
@@canadiantruthdefender2044 im not Dr Berg, im a fan of Dr Berg!
@@Duck72432 yes
I strongly appreciate that you officially acknowledge prior mistakes. Very good!
The people I trust the most in my life are the people who openly say what they “regret” and want to share so that they can help me. I have no patience or trust for people who put their own identity of pride before Loving others. I regularly tell my kids any time I learn something where I realize I would change the past… what I regret or wish I could do differently and let them know that I’m telling them in hopes that they can free themselves up by learning from my own learning! They’ve told me it’s one of the reasons they feel they can talk to me about anything as adults. Dr. Berg is WISE and always wants the best for us… even if it means letting us know he found something of his past learning that needs a shift!! Thank you, Dr. Berg and team!! We Love you!!
I RESPECT YOU DOC NOT ONLY FOR YOUR GOOD ADVICE BUT ABOVE ALL YOU ARE A VERY HUMBLE AND TRUE HUMAN, WE LOVE YOU.
It's okay dr. You still changed a lot of people's lives through your eye opening advices, especially mine and I am glad to have discovered your channel, first that popped up with actual substantial and thorough information
Do not feel too guilty, you were just given bum information and honestly did not know. You are one of few who admits anything relatively close, but also works to correct the medical community's mistake. You are a sweet heart, Doc. Thank you.
The human body is an amazing and complex group of systems always trying to maintain balance.
I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Yes, years ago, I got that advice too. I thought my heart palpitations and arrhythmia was because I was overweight. Took a long time before I made the connection. Thanks for your good work to properly inform people. The big shame is most GP's don't know this vital info. Bless you!
Thank you for all that you do. You’re a legend
Been watching your videos for four years now. you have mastered the art of explaining medical conditions in an easy fashion. nobody does it better than you Doc ❤
There's a bunch of post menopausal women with painful calcification in their uterus, I questioned my Gyn doctor about it her response was, "Oh! That's normal since they're post menopausal," My response! "If its a painful buildup that's not normal." Medicine has failed women, IMO!
Magnesium most women last that helps the hormones My Dr recommended it to me years ago with endometriosis Also primrose oil. Hope it helps ❤
"normal" should mean that something is common. Not necessarily healthy or good.
IN TODAY'S WORLD WHO GONNA ACCEPT THERE MISTAKES.....DR BERG ❤
you are such a good person, good heart! thanks for all the valuable information WE all so appreciate these great tips
Dr B, thanks for staying...and keeping your readers...up to date.
You are very welcome, thanks for watching!
You are very welcome, glad to be of help.
Appreciation and blessings from Sydney Australia .
I started listening to you since a year and a half,my health has improved and I preach your advice to many people. The credit of my better health goes to you ❤
Hello, this is wonderful to hear. Thanks for sharing your progress, very glad it is helping. Keep going!
20 years ago, after entering menopause & finding I already had the beginnings of osteopenia, I stupidly trusted the doctors & took calcium supplements . 4 years later, I developed an aortic valve murmur. Off to the cardiologist I went, who informed me that the leaflets on my valves were calcifying. I had mild aortic valve sclerosis. I did question if it was related to my calcium supplementation. Not to worry, the cardiologist said! Mine was hereditary. Blindly I trusted him. 10 more years of haphazardly taking my calcium. Then I just stopped. Too late... it had advanced...now I have moderate aortic valve stenosis. Ha! It wasn't hereditary after all. Per another cardiologist, who said it is never hereditary! Possibility now of needing valve replacement in the future.😢 Dr. Berg, do you know if any regimen that could reverse this valve calcification? Proteolytic enzymes? I am 70 now, & feel so betrayed by the medical system, and my own stupidity! I am on keto,(off/on for a year, due to caring for an elderly mother) down 40 pounds though! Feeling good, but need to lose 30 more. Thanks
I am 25 and broke my foot and ankle twice. I was recommended many many times to take calcium, but my primary care doctor would not provide a clear answer and how much calcium I should be taking and out of the fear of taking too much. I never took this supplement. I’ve been referred to cardiologist several times throughout the years due to palpitations so thank you very much for this video. Who knows if I would still be here today had I taken that calcium
Get your calcium level checked too make sure it's not high ..
Your humble there is so much to learn every day❤🙏
I always try to avoid supps that contain calcium, it was just common sense to me. If you think about, we are filtering tap water to get the calcium out of it, so that the water is not too hard. Why would we then feed it back to us through pills. Doesnt make any sense. Calcium that is in milk and dairy is sufficient and the natural way for the body to get what it needs.
Thank you, Dear Dr. Berg. It's a relief to acquire this information about our health. Your videos always help me and my family.
I'm shocked and grateful for this invaluable information, thankyou🔥🙏
You are very welcome, thanks for watching.
Thank you Dr Berg! You are so humble and transparent. This is so helpful. I was taking extra calcium for a number of years and stopped for some unknown reason. I'm over 50yrs old and glad I did.
Thanks for your continuous helpful content, Dr Berg ❤
I'm happy that you found it useful!
Thankyou Dr. Berg for acknowledging your mistake and sharing it here on KZhead with us.i wish you were still in practice.
Thanks! 😊
Vit c requires copper and zinc as cofactors. All 3 make collagen. Other things also build collagen. Boron is also important for calcium retention and putting it into the bones.
Best way to consume copper, zinc and boron?
@@DN-rg9nj search "The Copper Revolution"
Robzreelz would 11 mg of zinc and .5 mg of copper be enough to serve as effective cofactors? Thanks.
@@YosemiteLee 15 zinc to 1 copper, (15:1 ratio) is roughly the ratio when zinc depletes copper. So a lot of people made themselves copper deficient by taking lots of zinc over the past 4 years while ignoring copper. I prefer about 3-6 zinc to 1 copper ratio. I fluctuate depending on my symptoms. Initial low zinc symptoms is typically sneezing/increased allergies.
@@robzreelz that makes sense since zinc has become so popular. Thank you.
Besides the amazing content of your videos ( I’m a big fan) the visuals of your videos have increasing in awesomeness, clarity in presentation and pleasing educational info. ❤️🎉🎊
So much pluses and minuses with these vitamins. I do not know what to think anymore. Learning to cope. Thank you dr. B .
In my early 20's a doctor told me to take 1200 mg of calcium, to prepare for future. I thought she was nuts. Never took it
Same . Everyone would be telling me to take calcium . I never did .
Was told the same and I did for a while. It did not make me feel good. Constipated. Sometimes I think it’s best to just listen to our bodies rather than doctors who spent two years learning about pharmaceuticals rather than the body. Dr. Berg is a chiropractor and had four full years of learning about the body.
Instead I took it & ended up with severe osteoporosis , 14 horrendously painful vertebral fractures! Had I only known ! I finally cut out the calcium supplements & I’ve been taking 5.000 Vit D 3 daily plus 400 mg of K2 for a few years now & thankfully I’m finally seeing an improvement in my bone density!
We are lucky to have the information thanks

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind words and support.
thank so much for your honesty. i recommend that you nuke all old video about this topic so it doesnt cause misunderstanding
Doctor berg the saying is you are johnny on the spot. I have both of these osteoporosis And osteopenia. I love your channel your topics.We all need to hear so that we can try to better our insides and out.
Thank you for your honesty, I recently discovered that I have calcium sitting in my heart. I was taking it for osteoporosis and high blood pressure.
Dr. Berg, always giving us the best health info and I am so grateful!
I appreciate you kind words. I'm happy that you find my videos informative and helpful!
Dr berg I love your videos and your one of the most honest drs ever . Thankyou so much for all you do! I just wanted to say we need that allithiamine back please DR your the only one who provides that . And it’s help not only me but many people as a stand-alone vitamin everyone makes bcomplex but not allithiamine please considered bringing it back as a standalone! You’re the best Dr berg !!!

Whoever reads this., I pray to the universe to cure all your diseases and to remove all your pains from your daily life 🙏🙏🙏
Dear Dr. Berg, every day I watch your videos which are very useful to know what our doctors don't tell us. Thanks to you in previous videos I learned how important Vitamin K2 is, and today I also learned that it is equally important to add daily intake of Vitamin C and Magnesium. You are the best doctor on KZhead😃😃😃😃😃👍 You explain very well, you speak so calmly that everyone can understand what you teach us. My best compliments and greetings from Vesna from Italy ❤️❤️🌹
Love your humility, doctor!
Thanks so much, appreciate it.
You've helped me a lot with my health ❤. Thank you 😊.
You are very welcome. I'm glad I could assist.
I've noticed my blood calcium has been slightly high for years. I've asked my Dr and they said not to worry. I've also suffered from anxiety, depression and severe stomach pain and digestive issues (amongst other things) for years. I asked again about my calcium level. They FINALLY investigated. My PTH is 140! My mom also always said take calcium, glad i didn't listen.
Thanks for the research. Will try to apply.
Glad I could assist.
❤🙏great content and really informative topic. Thank you so much Doctor Berg ❤
It's humbling to hear this. This sounds like me as a teacher. I've admitted that I didn't do too well when I first started out. I'm proud to say I've improved greatly 😁
Dr Berg great info as always! Please do a video on the topic of Dr. William Davis and his work on L reuteri probiotic in the gut for overall health! The stuff is amazing 🙏🏼
Thank you Dr. Berg. Honestly, I’ve had some questions because many of your older video conflict with new ones. One in particular is the one on vitamin fillers, silica and maltodextrin and others. But, when I look at your products, you include these same harmful products. I love some of your products but, would like you to clarify this issue. Thanks.
Great information as always, thank you, Dr. Berg 🙏
Most welcome! Glad you liked it!
Thank you Dr. Berg! I've known about Calcium Carbonate from my Chiro Dr years ago, if you're not careful in reading food ingredients they slip that ingredient in your foods also!
Great information! THANK YOU dr. Berg!!❤❤
You're very welcome!
Agreed. I found out I was taking extra calcium hidden in a blend of exogenous Ketones. The BHB blend is a proprietary blend of BHB ketones, caffeine and other things- they don’t have to list the specific ingredients. I only found out by a deep search because I was worried about the whole calcium in my arteries thing. I understand calcium is used as some kind of binder or additive to many capsules and pulls. I have little hard lumps on my elbows. I pray my arteries are not hard like old crusty pipes.
The higher powers that be sucked is in buy prescribing this.. so don’t be to hard on yourself. At least you’re honest. Keep up the great work ..
Love you Dr Berg!!!!! You’re a God sent! ❤❤❤
❤ Thank you so much for excellent explanation Dr Berg ❤
You are very welcome, glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the video Dr ! - What about the plant based AlgaeCal supplements?
Very good video, very helpful info, thank you for this no doctor tells you 👍🏻
Thank you so much for this!
Anytime!
I share a simple recipe that I created recently very tasty and rich in calcium. It's a sandwich 🥪 that I take to work made with 2 thin slices of homemade bread that I make myself with my sourdough, a mixture of wholegrains organic flours and loaded with seeds (good fats) and I spread on it a good butter, tahina (sesame seeds roasted and processed), walnuts and a bit of maple syrup. It's delicious 😋 fulfilling and the sesame is rich in calcium!! I know that "bread" is a sort of forbidden word in this channel but I'm Italian...😊
Really good info Dr Berg! ❤ So does the acidic nature help to break the calcification down? What if you are already highly acidic and suffer from Gerd etc?
Thanks a lot Dr Berg.It's always useful as usual ❤❤❤❤❤
You are very welcome!
It takes guts to admit mistakes! Good on you Dr. Berg. Basic truths about nutrition are coming to light, and it always comes back to eating like our ancestors and producing food in a wholesome way that works with nature.
First, I want to say thank you for another very informative video. Dr. I'm wondering, I take Magnesium Citrite will that work the same way at the Magnesium Ascorbate? Can I take both? Should I take both?
Thank you, Team Berg!
I was diagnosed with ostiopinia in my 30's. My body REFUSED calcium supplements. Now I know why. I'm glad to hear about the magnesium because I swapped out using table salt for celtic sea salt which have 4 types of magnesium and many health benefits. Thank you
@Dr. Eric Berg DC thank you my friend
Excellent Explanation, Doc ‼️
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching.
Dr Berg. Please opine on Grow Bone Calcium (from organic algae) and strontium. On cautionary advice of my doctor to not take too much calcium, I only take half the daily dosage plus high D3 and K2 mk7. Also take Magnesium glycinate/malate, raw B complex. Omega 3, Elderberry w/vit C and zinc. I was diagnosed with vit c depletion following covid and refusal to eat fruits. Resulting in scurvy. Got that under control and eat fruits and berries all day long. Flowing scurvy, my Dexascan showed significant decrease in bone density. Doing OsteoStrong which increased my strength and hopefully vibration plates will help! Just concerned about calcium since I can"t do dairy (but eat my greens).
This video was highly informative we thank you
You are very welcome.. I'm glad you found it informative.
Thank you Dr Berg for sharing this wonderful video. May God blessed you and your family!
Glad I could assist.
Dr please recommend a supplement that has vitamin C, magnesium and all the other components that need to be taken together to be effective. It's very difficult taking dozens of pills and never knowing how much of each is the right combination to take 😢
Highly appreciate the updated information. Thank you Dr. Berg. 🩷
My 87 yr old mother just had her drs appt and they asked if she was still taking her calcium. She’s got congestive heart failure. Just put her on a statin with calcium in addition to her calcium and other meds. I don’t say anything because the dr is obese and has no clue about good health. Listening to her repeat the talking points the drug rep gives when pushing the drug just made me shake my head.
Wow, you’re too kind 🤣.
@@emh8861 She probably won't listen.
She DEFINITELY needs to be taking a good quality supplement of CoQ10 if she's on a statin. Statins deplete CoQ10, which is a necessary substance in the body for heart health
Wow, my mom is also 87 and I insisted she stop statins 8 years ago, somehow docs kept convincing her and every time I visited in summer I’d have to remind her what she’s not taking. They’re all drug pushers. They make it so hard to advocate for good nutritional healing for our elders. 😢 keep up the effort!
😂😂 I wouldn't listen to such doctor either 😅
Dr Berg I bought your Neck and Back Massage tool and it’s AMAZING!!! You’re truly a bless to humanity ❤️❤️
Thanks for highlighting this, I hope a lot of doctors get your message, Yes doctors always say take calcium supplements, specially with older folk, There's an abundance of calcium in our diets, definitely no need for calcium tablets or supplements,
Great helpful content as always, Dr Berg. Eating healthy nutritious dense foods, taking good quality supplements, getting some sunlight, exercise and practicing good habits while following your advice have improved my health. Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you so much, I'm thrilled to hear that you find my content helpful and that following the advice has improved your health.
That’s ok Dr Berg I wished like you I would know all this information before, I wouldn’t have been obese all my life and my health would’ve been a whole different story.
I dont do calcium never have ❤ Thank you For everything you share with us Dr Berg! You are one of my Hero's!!
Before I saw this video, I chewed 2 tums for heartburn ( daily thing) Oh & I just had a heart cath 2 days ago & my widow maker was 8O% blocked ( thankfully my heart Dr was able to stent it!) I also had 2 other blockages that he wasn’t able to stent. So glad I saw your video. I’ve got to cut back on Tums! Sometimes I take 6 daily. 😮 PS Ladies, I hurt in the center of my chest for almost 4 weeks before I went to my cardiologist! I’m blessed that I didn’t suffer a major heart attack. Please don’t ignore chest pain.
Dear Dr. Burg, I found you roughly 10 months ago, put your advice into practice the last 3 months and wow wow wow. I've never been so healthy and the compliments I receive daily prove the results. Plus the 30kg weight loss has been a nice benifit of being healthy 💪 Thank you, you are a God's gift 💕
Excellent. Keep up the good work. Would you like to share your Keto/ IF success story on my website? I'd be happy to see your story there. Feel free to upload your story here: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
I remember doctors telling me I needed to take calcium. I never bought into it and so I never took it. This is a great explanation.
Thank you for this awesome information 😊
You're welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
Oh, that famous table, featuring in now! 😊
We love you, Dr Berg
