Calcium is the cargo on a train. Vitamin D is the train, its a transport for the calcium. Vitamin K2 is the conductor. It takes calcium from places it shouldn’t be and puts it where it should be.
My dad was diagnosed with calcified arteries and given statins and pain medications. After doing research I realised statins would kill him in the long run. So further research led me to studies where K2 was able to reduce up to 25% of arterial calcification in a short period time. So that's what we did. My dad started taking K2 supplements for many months and today he is perfectly fine and still working at his advanced age.
My farther has been taking statins for 5 years. He had bypass surgery 5 years. 90 % of his arteries were pluqued. But he has high cholesterol not calcium build up. As far as I know statins are for hight cholesterol. Anyways how did you manage to safely to do it? I want to do it to.
@@quiztherapy6851 From what I know high cholesterol is caused by the body trying to heal over hardened arteries caused from calcium buildup. So, put the calcium back to the bone with K2 should lower cholesterol. But hey, I am not a doctor.
Over 8 months ago I had a CT scan for my heart and my results were terrible. Calcium over 250%, 99% stenosis etc.. I was morbidly obese at 280lbs. Have been struggling with autoimmune condition called Grave’s diseases. Had crazy palpitations that made me think I was having a heart attack. Had an angioplasty done and decided to take it seriously and look for ways to loose weight. I’ve been following Dr Bergs for the last 8 months and practicing most of what he’s been posting here. I’ve lost 80 lbs in 8 months and still loosing weight. Feel and look younger. I got to say thank you Dr Berg you have saved my life. It takes discipline to follow through but anyone who wants to live can do it. I’m now able to do OMAD multiple times a week along with keto and feel pretty awesome! Keep up saving lives! I know many doctors including cardiologist don’t have any idea of any of this and are clueless on how to really help their patients. They just pump you full of drugs and tell you not to eat red meats. They frown at Keto diets and even fasting yet I’ve lost 80lbs. I’ve lost my respect for most doctors.
Congratulations on your success with Keto/ IF! This is amazing! Dr. Berg would love to hear your success story. Would you like to share it? Feel free to upload your story here: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story -Dr. Berg's Support Team
Regardless of what anyone says...he saved my life early this year when I was so ill, I didn't realise I was close to organ failure. I came out of bed every few days, feeling fit ,as a fiddle, ate my normal well balanced meals always topped of with a jar of home stewed concentrated fruit spread, made only from friut cooked in its own juice and the water drops from washing the home grown plums, apples etc not a crystal of sugar in anything. I'd top of these delights ,with semi frozen Greek yoghurt and next day, I'd be back in bed for 2 or 3 days. While up, on my good day, I'd watch a hallmark Xmas video or 2 and over a period of a month I noticed a particular video jumping out at me. I took no notice, as I felt it didn't apply to me...until one day I was a tad clearer headed and thought...I think my Guardian Angel is trying to get me to watch this jolly video. So I did,and immediately realized I had glucose problem from all the overdosing on those beautiful fruits I'd condensed down to such a degree, I reckon there were about 100 plums in each jar I consumed every day. I immediately emptied my freezer and did a walk around my village, giving away my second freezer full of those goodies...plus I began keto experiments over the next 4 month, went to an endocrine specialist, over 500 miles away n early May and had every test under the sun. She found to her horror my glucose tolerance test was off the charts...and was headed for pancreas and liver probs, followed by diabetes if we couldn't head it off. 6 months later, I've just come back from my checkup and she was shocked again. This time, I barely made the low end of normal for blood sugars and just crept into normal, on the low side for insulin levels, an hour after eating. She said whatever you are eating, keep on with keto, and doing your mowing, gardening, house repairs, chopping etc.It helps your muscle density and is good for your bones. And I'm over 80 yrs old...and am really very fit, and starting back jogging in Nov, after collapsing and being knocked unconscious for over an hour, with bad concussion in Mid August from sunstroke. His vids saved my life early this year...and I'm very thankful. Xx
What a wonderful success story! Congratulations! Be careful in the sun. Heatstroke can creep up on you without you realizing. I rejoice with you over your greatly improved health!
So happy to hear your story! You are an inspiration and a strong human being to achieve what you have done. Just embarking on a non-sugar regime myself. Hope I can reverse a lifetime of bad habits. 😁 Thank you for your comment! God Bless! 💜
@@Lotus-Subliminals-Shorts Thankyou for the comment. Update...It has been about a year now and I was surprised over Christmas, I ate basically what everyone else ate, but consumed more meat than others, had trifle, icecream, moderate fruits, mangoes especially, in OZ with family, and yesterday, was a bit naughty too...and I think my pancreas may be healed, and the insulin resistance cured. I feel normal, had no problems, but see no reason not to continue eating keto for the rest of my life. The only thing is I need my bald spots to grow back! Happy Christmas Season and a healthy New Year to you and your family.
Several years ago I took Vit K2-MK7, Vit D3, and Magnesium for about 2 years before a recheck of my arteries. My coratid arteries had been around 80% calcified and came down to near 20%. This WORKS! And, saddenly, my doctor wasn't even aware of Vit K2. The cardiologist labeled my results as "unexplainable". Haha.
Some people criticize this man for whatever the reason, but all I can say is that he communicates VALID information far more thoroughly than most full fledged MD's could ever do on his platform. He looks and thinks outside the box in his research, outside the the restrictive gardens of big pharma companies and so on. I for one appreciate his advice and have seen results, results that have kept me from the wrath of some very detrimental side effect inducing medications in my life. Thanks Dr E B.
Exactly! He's the best doctor I've come across. I never go and see allopathic generalists now. No need! Moreover, I have zero faith in them as they are hand-in-glove with Big Pharma. Profit over health!
I agree completely. No doctor I have seen in person has the wealth of information he brings to the fore, and their knowledge of diet is so bad I'm surprised those doctors I drifted them have medical issues themselves. Even in their 30s. We need more like Dr. Berg.
I am grateful for you, my husband was put on a statin and we are completely against it but he is literally being bullied by his doctor by creating fear in him. I am grateful for your videos. I have been an ER nurse for almost 20 years and it is a shame what mainstream western medicine has done to our patients.
Wonder how much of this bullying of patients is caused by insurance companies. If a patient doesnt follow the recommended treatment, does the insurance company " ding" the doc, and is the patient labeled as non- compliant? Does this affect the ability of the patient to obtain insurance and the cost? Just Thoughts....
I heard Co-enzyme Q10 supplementation whilst on statins can help if you feel you must take it. But there is little proof in the literature that statins help anyone. I spent 9 years as a cardiology research coordinator. There is a high chance of developing diabetes, brain fog, severe muscle problems like rhabdomyolysis etc. Doctors tend not to mention this. And a recent study showed there was a higher incidence of developing breast cancer from being on statins for several years. Everyone should make their own decisions but the research is out there to discover. Dr Berg's nutrition advice is good for many medical conditions.
I’d need your consultation as in this city - they believe are brilliant - are just pretending to be excellent. After 3 years got checked about hyper parathyroids with high calcium in my blood they said it might not be it…
I was prescribed a statin several years ago because I had high triglycerides. After 2 days, my muscles started spasming, I couldn't sleep, and was constantly nervous. I quit it after 2 days. It took over a year for my spasming to stop. Once there was no real evidence that statins prevent heart attacks or strokes, I decided I'd rather die of natural causes rather than have my muscles disintegrate and have massive kidney failure.
Yes, while the claim that statins lower cholesterol, *by a meagre 1 or 2 percent,* the evidence shows that lowering cholesterol has *no effect* on fatalities, and actually is *protective against* cancer, and Alzheimer's disease.
Statins for triglycerides is criminal! Triglycerides are ALL a function of elevated SUGAR. That is 100% diet and lack of exercise. Good for you and good synopsis
One or your BEST VIDEOS YET!! VIT K2 WORKS! I had mild hardening if the arteries in my neck...I saw your videos, started taking vit k2 & vit D together. A yr and a half later had repeat labs and ultrasound of my neck..NO MORE CLIGGED ARTERIES, NY GOOD AND BAD CHOLESTEROL IS GREAT!! THANK YOU DR BERG ❤️
@@AussieChic968 Just to answer the first line, it is not about being rebellious, it is CLEAR to me nowadays that mainstream is MOSTLY deceiving. Everything mainstream is made to keep the MAINSTREAM in power.
Same for vaccines, Ukraine, global warming, ESG push .. main stream is in the hands of the Rothchilds and Rockfellers .. the greatest thieves and bandits ever.
Dr. Berg, I just wanted to convey my sincere thanks for your videos. My health and overall test results have improved so much that my doctor asked what I was doing differently. I told him about you and your informative videos. He stated he was impressed and will be checking out your work. Thanks again! Blessings!
I was a student of Dr. Berg and I can say he is always learning , evolving and teaching the latest and most relevant information related to health and nutrition science. He is literally saving you from your doctor's bad advice and the herd mentality.
I agree with this. A lot of videos about nutrition but he really has the perfect style for being understandable and encouraging. Of course, with a dash of humor here and there. XD
Video suggestion: related to your video topic is hypertension. Many people take calcium channel blockers, alpha blockers and beta blockers to deal with that. It would be interesting to get your take on how those medication’s adversely affect other body systems. For some the normal nutritional approaches are simply not enough
@@michaelwhite5255 Reading about people who are on kidney dialyse 3 times a week taking 360mcg K2 having benefit, less inflammation, no negative side effects. When your'e on 'old family' of bloodthinners (vita K-antagonists) you have to be very carefull and need a doc to gide you. Normally K2 does not interfere with metabolism of fatty-acids nor your cholesterol. Only "if they have had Cholecystectomy" is too little info. If you now the cause, what made removing necessary, inflammation or forming/ blocking stones..? Were there any gallstones, what did those stones consist of, calcium, cholesterol or bilirubin (breakdown product of red blood cells)If you find the cause, you can properly tackle and solve a problem. Now I think only one very nasty symptom (inflamed gallbladder) has been removed. - if you take extra carbonate calcium on doctor's advice, I would not use K2. Who knows, if one could have prevented all of that with a proper diet and taking K2...
My CAC score was ZERO!! And my doctor still was telling me I probably needed a statin, because she was using the incorrect way to calculate cholesterol, which I learned the correct way by watching Dr. Berg's videos on cholesterol. Thank you, Dr. Berg!!!
How should I correctly calculate my cholesterol. My dr. Just told me yesterday my ldl was 60. He said this is good but he didn’t know what my hdl was. I thought this was weird. Do you think so?
At 67, my calcium score was 0. I am grateful for my father's genes. Yes, he had a HA but not premature at 86, and he also neglected himself all his life, drink and smoked heavily. Regardless of his bad life style, he tended to look younger, dr said his organs were in decent shape with a bit of cirrhosis, but at 86 and drinking? My grandmother, dad's mom, pass in her late 90s f rom a fall. I do not remember she ever visiting a dr and taking any medications, only OTC for headaches. She also smoked heavily and drank black/unsweetened coffee all day. She was active until her fall. His sister was 99 at time of death from lung cancer; she also smoked. Her death, however, was a peaceful one. The issue of diabetes comes from my mom's side. Luckily I was on time to reverse pre diabetes, and that's what I did. Otherwise, I have been extremely healthy all my life. No, I do not drink/smoke, I hated it since my childhood; that bad habit almost got us kids killed. Be proactive with your health, blessings!
@@sethdaboss245 Thanks for your wishes. If I can live that long, I am grateful. My main goal is to have the best quality of life possible, walk till the end, and passing away peacefully and comfortably.
Thanks, nice beard! Started eating natto and doing K2 eight years ago after open heart surgery to have a calcified aortic valve replaced. Still here and healthier then i've been in the last several decades. I'm 76 now and am trying a full on carnivore diet after 8 years of on/off keto eating. Dr Berg, along with Ken D Berry have been my primary source of medical leadership. My obese Docs say to do statins and blood thinners, I'm thriving without them; and knocking on wood! :)
Bruce Prigge that’s great to hear, well done and may you live a long and happy life. My husband not yet 60 has had two aortic valves replaced for a congenital bicuspid aortic valve problem. The first was a biological valve in July 2010, he became winded by 2012 and coughing (unproductive). His second valve (same reason) was done end of August 2020, only 2 yrs end of August he chose mechanical & they have him on warfarin, his surgery was done in England he’s already feeling out of breathe using the stairs. I’m concerned warfarin is causing a problem, he believes he needs it, I can’t find any information which doesn’t go with the pharmacological narrative. May I please ask if your valve is mechanical or biological? If you prefer not to answer that’s okay, thank you for reading my comment. Mia.
@@msheart2 Hello Mia, mine is biological, it’s made from a cows pericardium. When I was doing research around the time I had the valve changed I read an article that stated anticoagulants advance calcification, that’s why I refuse to take them. I spoke to the medical people at the hospital were I had the valve changed, they said they had never heard of such a thing. Not surprising, they only know what the drug companies tell them. My aerobic capacity is below normal and has been since before the valve was changed but I don’t run any more so it doesn’t create much of a problem. I go to ‘Silver Sneakers’ a couple times a week and walk a mile a few times a week, the exercise part is very important, for me anyway. I live in Minnesota, USA, where the winters are very harsh. I have discovered that NOT doing aerobic exercise over the winter takes a very noticeable toll on my aerobic capacity. When I got back out walking this spring I could NOT walk a mile without a break. I stuck with it and within a month I was breezing through a mile without stopping. Body weight is also very important; any extra body weight really noticeably shows up as a low aerobic capacity. (Getting winded easily). Going low carb and now full on carnivore has really helped with the body weight. My surgeon, a lady with an Irish name, said that anticoagulants are very important with metal valves, not so much with biological valves.
@@paulcuddle664 Not for me. I shallow fry diced liver with chopped onions, garlics, and green peppers, or sometimes green chillies, with some spice and salt. That's the Middle Eastern way of cooking it ( usually it's lamb liver, which is more popular there) some people like to add herbs too: like dill or coriander/ cilantro.
I disagree. Seafood today is FULL of mercury and other stuff that is toxic so not recommended. Liver of animals - has nutrients but is also high in toxic elements bc after all liver is the filter organ of the body so really not as so many like to tout a healthy giving food. Better to stick with cleaner sources.
Funny to say this but in the late 40s when my sister-in-law was pills. And sickly (rheumatic fever) her mom couldn't get her to eat liver in any way cooked so she froze it & cut it into very small cubes and the girl swallowed it as if it were pills.
They put my mother on statins at 80 her memory eent overnight and her legs swelled she could hardly wslk She had been so active and fit..She ended up with huge legs it wss so so sad to watch convinced the statins caused the dementia
I absolutely LOVE the knowledge this man has and how well its communicated... even a pleb like me can actually digest and learn from the way Dr Berg structures this information.
The problem is that he is often totally wrong, and the information is incorrect. He has no training in anything, he is not a doctor. Check this video out; "Dr. Eric Berg gets fact-checked by MD PhD doctor". And realize that he has no clue about what he is talking about.
This is a totally useless comment like almost 90% of the top comments... You could instead be usefull and write a short description of the video so i dont have to waste 7mins of my life watching the vid...
The amount of research that Dr Berg do to deliver these small and powerfull information packets is insane. I have adopted lot of these learnings in my life and might have added 5 more years to my life. Thank You
i adopt everything i can from dr bergs teachings, i think i have my carb and sugar intake down to zero except for necessaries like leafy greens, nuts, seeds and those kinds foods, i think i am in ketosis all the time now
My optometrist said I had a "2 out of 10" cataract. After taking 1000mcg K2 a day, the fogginess in my eyes, cleared up. (along with other miraculous things) When I went back in a year later, the optometrist actually laughed when I asked about my cataracts. He said: "You have no cataracts". Also Nurses are always surprised and say: You have the blood pressure of a teenager. OK.
You have inspired me to go back to eating no sugar again (it works I lost 15 pounds last year just by cutting out sugar and felt so much better but then I just had a knee replacement two months ago and started eating it again and gained a little weight) and also going back to vitamins again that have K2 and Vit D. I needed a scare and this was it! ❤️
First, I am not a doctor. That does not mean that I know nothing. That said there are several things I have learned that I would like to share. First, there are two versions of Vitamin K2, one is called MK4 which you can get in various foods as well as what is called mega does K2. Younger bodies generally can metabolize the MK4 in MK7 which is the bio available and active form your body needs to remove the calcium from your plague. As you age, or with certain generic or other medical conditions your body cannot metabolize the MK4 version as well. Hence, you should supplement with the MK7 version, generally at a dose of 20mcg or less. Second, removing the calcium in the plague of the artery walls probably causes inflammation of the endothelia cells that are the lining to the arteries. This can be a real issue in terms of additional clotting as well as ulceration of the hardened arteries. The question I have yet to discover the answer to is how does the body best get rid of the remaining lipid components (cholesterol, triglyceride, and protein) that make up the rest of the remaining plague?
Great video! You mentioned statins causing issues with k2, but also some blood thinners will too. It’s sad that the medicines that are prescribed to help prevent heart disease and stroke are actually setting people up for worse events in the future, as my father discovered.
Another great video. Dr Berg finds the most relevant topics to talk about. In this case & with other videos “ I would have never known” is my usual reply. Both medical doctor & naturopathic practitioners that I have ever met, did not provide the facts with such clarity backed up by facts. I recommend Dr Berg to everyone I know. Keep up the good work Dr., you are saving lives.
Good info, thanks. Boron should also be considered as it regulates the parathyroid gland which in turn regulates the levels of calcium & phosphorus in the blood. Also, don't forget the importance of magnesium in affecting bone (& teeth) density.
I wish all doctors were trying help us like DR Berc ,most of them know nothing and they just prescribing more drugs without even trying to find the real problem 🤷
Just saw this video! Excellent information Dr. Berg! Incorrect diet is a huge part of many of our problems. Please do a video on Osteoporosis causes and proper treatment. We need more doctors like you! Thanks!!!
I take 10,000 IU D3 and 1,500mcg K2/MK7 a day. My ticker and BP, for a 61 yr old guy, BMI 24.8, are fine (121/82). A recent blood test showed a Vitamin D level of 89ng/ml.
You may want to look into vitamin d value of 89 and find out if it’s too high. Dr Pradip Jamnadas recommends vitamin d level not more than 60-70. He’s a cardiologist and talks a lot about fasting for health
ng/ml ? or nmol/L ? if it's the first one, that's high, if you are in the northern hemisphere drop it to 5,000UI or take a break 😅 i guess covid can't make you a scratch with that numbers Gerald hahahhahh
Most doctors still have no idea about this. They just hand out statins without offering any clue to patients about what they can do to stop the calcification. Thanks for the clear description of the issue and what you can do to prevent the condition.
I started off with 40,000 iu D3 / 400 mcg K2. After a year, I dropped it to 30,000/300. Second year and on, now at 20,000/200. No repeat CAC, metal stents in heart, so kinda leary.
Remember women can have different symptoms- just about any complaints above your waist. My mom had nausea and flu symptoms (way before covid). She never made it to the hospital.
A friend of 60+ years spoke to me of an episode she had of abdominal discomfort right beneath her breasts a week prior. She made a motion with her hands from side to side. Because I am a retired OR RN who scrubbed on the cardiovascular team I recommended that she report this to her MD. She did so and said that the MD told her it was related to her obesity and that she doesn't need to be concerned unless the pain is in her shoulder, jaw or arm. I have witnessed a woman's death from having unreported abdominal pain, later to be an MI.
After my heart attack, i was placed on statins and then began doing my own research and discovered the dangers of statins. I then discovered K2 and have been on it ever since. I told my cousin, who was having high BP, after taking D3&K2, his BP went down!
@@BRIANDER100 I take 100 micrograms 4-5 days a week. I am having problems finding a supplement with both MK4 and MK7, ECO brand used to have both. If anything this clip makes me want to check for a supplement with both variants
Doc Berg, my whole family now finally watches your information and we gleefully soak up the world class knowledge you share so generously ! Thanks again 😊😊
Aloha Dr Berg! Your videos are so VALUABLE and so EFFECTIVE! Your Presentation, the Subject Matter, your Teaching Methods, all the cutting edge Research; So much, so efficient, your videos are educating and saving people. You and your gifts keep on giving. It's true. Sharing is caring. I'm sharing how to pronounce Natto: Just link the words "not" and "toe" together. Natto is an aquired taste. Hot mustard or wasabi may increase it's palatability for some but try seasoning with cumin, chili powder, cilantro, salsa, lime, avocado and cheese or sour cream over greens. You may find natto heaven, but natto can become "addictive". Cooked soybeans innoculated with natto cause fermentation similar to the yogurt making process and also can be made at home. The resulting Natto kinase is a Serine protease of the subtilisin family, thus the Bacillus subtilis var natto: the potent, beneficial fibrinolytic enzymes that are known to survive digestion and remain viable when eaten. Mahalo Dr Berg (thanks in Hawaiian)! Your hard work is much appreciated!
Leona Roberts thanks for the added info on Natto. I became used to Natto taste quickly, even though I had been raised on a western pallette. So grateful the Hilo KTA always has it in stock, even an organic one.
Love the good Doctor Berg . I listen & educate myself each day. Try & live my daily life being healthy. This video is very important to me as lately muscle pain in the leg & swollen painful foot 😫 🏊♀️ swimming helps mind body & soul for me & not hard work 😅 lol 😆 🤣 😂 😅
I have cut sugar out completely I have taken your advice,also I’m a regular observer of fasting Mondays and Thursdays because I am a Muslim I see great result by removing sugar completely out of my diet also I have taken your advice at least once a day to take a cold shower feel great thanks for that! Love your videos
Dr. Berg, there are a couple of things you failed to mention. Osteogenic loads upregulate calcium bone uptake, and cortisol down regulates it. Therefore, under the proper nutrition, lifting weights will likely stimulate calcium to be drawn out of the arteries and into bone, while a high stress lifestyle will likely make any intervention slow or futile.
@@Carlosconga ; @J. Carlos Diaz H.; It does more than that. Magnesium well absorbed at the cellular level is responsible for 80% of known metabolic functions. It transports energy, transmits nerve signals, and relaxes muscles. The best way to take magnesium is transdermal IMO ;)
@@CVenza Taking 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in water increases absorption of most minerals, especially magnesium. Good to take this combo near bedtime to assist with sleep. Most people have too LITTLE stomach acid, not too much, to properly assimilate minerals. Dr. Berg talks about this.
@@1charlastar886; Everybody is different I suppose. Apple cider vinegar is very good but can interact with magnesium when taken together. Best talk to your doctor or nutritionist.
Hi Dr. Berg.. I'm so glad i came across this information. I have a terrible combination of health issues that create a seemingly impossible situation for me to lose any weight to improve my heart or even health overall. Im 50 now and, aside from having lifelong chronic depression, anxiety and ptsd my constant stress/grief manifested itself about 3 years ago when i was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease/osteoarthritis in my whole spine, neck, shoulders, hips, elbows etc., atrial fibrillation (had an ablation after suffering a year which helped hugely), esophogitis from 25+ years of acid reflux disease then GERD which created a stricture and herniation of part of my stomach into my esophagus (I had two endocscopies: one which broke that up, and an exploratory for signs of cancer. Thankfully none.) Recently I had stomache pain and was told I have a fatty liver, and now, (because i have lung concerns with nodes) I had a chest scan which showed signs of calcification starting in my arteries. I made huge changes to my diet at the start.. no carbs/pasta/potatoes, only lean meat/fruit/veges, no dairy, more eggs etc, but I also have an eating disorder (which likes to beat me up along with my depression at the unfairness of it all) so I have still gained around 50lbs in the last 2 years alone. Not good. So now I am at a scary 250lbs. All I can really do, due to the amount of whole body pain and heart strain at even the slightest exertion, is try to go for slow walks every day. I started taking alot of vitamins (theraputic levels) years ago at the onset.. E for my heart, D3, B12 (doc recommended from the start), C, Calcium/Mag/Zinc. After learning of this recent calcification in my arteries I have been trying to find the right info for vitamins to change/add /suppliment my regimin. It all feels so hopeless and the whole thing about Vitamin D has been really confusing to me, but you have explained things in terms I think i can understand and trust. It has been really helpful so thank you.
Thank you for sharing, as all people's experiences are helpful to learn about. The couple things I see as a potential cause of your continued health/body weight issues is probably eating the fruits (too much fructose in your diet), and also eating lean meats. You need the animal fats! Eating the natural fats that occur with the meat is the way to go. ☺️ Bu sure to watch Dr Berg's videos on the ketogenic diet. Those videos will introduce you to it and important tips also. Take notes and read people's great positive comments about how they lost weight and greatly improved their health!

You are in a desperate place. I would suggest emphasizing intermittent fasting. Also in your eating window eat a meal lasting no more than one hour with an hour and a half in between. If you could limit yourself to 3 meals a day and no snacking things might start to turn around. For two of the three meals eat no carbs only fats, protein, and non starchy vegetables. Then for one meal, lasting only an hour, eat as you wish. Try to limit the meat/animal foods as they raise insulin. The other suggestion I have would be to go completely starch based vegan with no oil and no animal at all along with at least 12 hours of not eating at night. Dr. Jason Fung is another resource for the first method and Dr. John McDougall is the resource for the second. If you could just not eat at all for a few days at a time it would kick start your efforts! I love and recommend Dr. Berg but his way of eating might be too difficult for you until you get some of your emotional and physical problems under control. Then you can switch to Dr. Berg entirely.
I had a CAC test and my score was zero. My doctor was surprised because I have high blood pressure. I'm over 60 but I work out heavily. I'm a Kung Fu instructor. I think the problem is leaky gut, because I am also gluten sensitive, among other reasons. I watched this video to try to understand why my CAC is so low. I do have a belly, but not as bad as most people my age, but I do think I have fatty liver. I do eat Kimchi, sauerkraut, live cheeses (raw preferred) and take a probiotic, although I don't eat a lot of each because of the salt. I love liver (so does my dog), but my wife doesn't so I have it only occasionally, and only free range organic (mostly chicken liver). I also eat yogurt, kefir and 2 eggs a day. I try to get probiotics in my diet and avoid antibiotics. I have been doing all this for many years. It looks like I don't need a K2 supplement, but I have tested deficient in vitamin D do take vitamin D supplement. I want off my blood pressure meds and hope addressing the fatty liver and leaky gut issues will do it.
Recent research has pointed towards cocoa being just as good if not better for blood pressure than meds. Apparently cocoa reduces vascular hardness. Apparently, it also won't stop blood pressure below what's good, but it will reduce it if it's higher. The placebo was brown sugar in the control. It was taken in capsules. Don't use alkalized kind, it removes some of the benefit. Look up the research, see how you feel about it. Also, milk thistle for fatty liver, right? I'm doing the cocoa thing myself, like you, very fit, with a little mild Dad belly. Definitely have considered it's fatty liver... so I'm getting back on the milk thistle, should do Vit D, yeah, doing the liver thing, and just started on the cocoa using Ghirardelli baker's cocoa - not Dutch. Making a cocoa tea LOL how crazy is that. It's just hot cocoa without sugar or anything, but hey... it's nice!
This is interesting. When I stopped eating sugar, I noticed that I stopped having plaque building up on my teeth. But, when I messed up and ate some sugar, just one quarter of a snickers bar, I noticed that in just fifteen minutes I started to have plaque growing on my teeth. It was the sugar that was causing and feeding the plaque. So I asked two doctors if this was the same plaque that was in the blood. One doctor said that it was the same plaque and the other said that the plaque was different. I think that the sugar is causing the plaque to grow in our blood causing this calcification. I tried this experiment a number of times and I am totally convinced that the plaque is caused by the sugar.
Happens to me too! I stay mostly on the carnivore diet. My teeth always feel clean. If I have a cheat day, my teeth feel the plaque build up. It's so disgusting.
My father had 2 heart arteries blocked by calcium deposits. Normal procedure is to use a diamond drill to open up the veins but they gave up in the end as they couldn't get through. In the end it was decided that medication would be best to control his condition. Bizarrely, new veins had started to form which counteracted the blockages.
Angiogenesis. Formation of new blood vessels. Have him get on Nattokinase, Vitamin D (30 minutes of sunshine a day in just shorts also works), K Complex (with multiple types of K2), Iodine with cofactors, Vitamin C, Lysine…..and if you want to supercharge it you can add Zeolite and Methylsulfonylmethane. It sounds like a lot but think of the years of crap we’ve all taken in. Once he’s in the clear, he can tone it down to just vitamins/minerals.
A cardiologist did a heart cath on me about 4 years ago and was told that I had 85% plugging in two of heart arteries and 65% plugging in the third and they were plugged almost evenly all the way down to the capillaries like he normally sees in diabetics. He installed some stents but they were questionably effective. I started taking 100mcg of Vitamin K2 MK7 daily and after a couple of weeks I noticed less angina pains with activity. I was not taking D3 at the time but I was taking a mulitvitamin. After many months I increased vitamin K2 intake to 4 100mcg supplements daily along with vitamin D3. I am feeling less and less angina with activity. So, I'm a believer in vitamin K2. My gall bladder was removed just after I got the stents do K2 may not be as effective as it would have been.
I would say your improvement is not due to K2, it doesn't work this fast it takes years not months and there is no data to show it removes existing calcification . Do you know you had soft or hard blockage ? Because to me it sounds you had soft plaque and that can be reversed . I highly recommend magnesium , it has the fastest effect on calcium in your blood . How is your blood sugar and insulin resistance ? Stress levels ?
@@supernova1976 All I know is the results of taking K2 and I'm a believer. My blood sugar has never checked above "normal". I'm a low stress type. My wife has been trying to get me to take Magnesium. Maybe I will.
Dr Berg... when people say you are a Life Saver, you are a Life Saver!!!! I have been keeping my eyes on you for years and always you bring to everyone watching the most informative information with such sincerity and honesty , you are truly a Life Saver , can't thank you enough... God Bless you!!!!
I've only recently discovered Dr Berg - slowly getting through all the videos!! Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to make and upload these!! I will always be so grateful to you, and others who give us honest information. It saddens me to realize that the "established" medical industry seems to be either so lacking in knowledge, or want to damage us so they can make fortunes on "treatments".
Many thanks, Dr Berg. I've often wondered whether I've been overdosing on Vit D3 as I take it on a daily basis (together with K2 and mg) in winter. Great to learn about the foods that contain K2, too. Thanks a lot!
@@shoppingrb9544 Supplements aren't considered Big Pharma but you do you. You should also consider that our foods grown in dirt over soil lacks most of the basic nutrients we need thus most people are deficient. We need added supplemental nutrients. In the future please have an adult grammatically check your posts before hitting reply. And lastly, calling names rather than stating intelligent rebuttals only makes you look just sad.
@Shopping Rb Dr Berg doesn't struggle with basic English. Trying to read your comment, it's obvious that you struggle with proper English as well as punctuation and grammar.
Isn't magnesium deficiency part of the heart disease train wreck? Calcium and magnesium are antagonists. Low magnesium causes calcium to increase in tissues. My personal experience is that deficiency of electrolytes in general contributes to heart problems.
When I had my first CAC test I was heartbroken to find that my score was 217 - I'm only in my 40s. I work out and hike all the time, but my diet was not great. The doc said 217 was "mild" but that didn't help. I've been freaked out about it ever since. However, it prompted change. I started by getting rid of grains and taking K2 (MK4 & MK7) twice a day. A little over a year later following that change, I had a 2nd CAC test and my score was down to 188. Hopefully that's a good sign and not just statistical variance between tests/machines. Now, for the past 6 months I've been following a carnivore based diet (I still eat walnuts, pecans, almonds, avocados, pickles, olives, and onions), and I've lost more weight. I'm dying to know if my CAC score is better or worse because I think about it every freaking day. But I'm not sure I should keep getting a CAC test because of the radiation - how often is too often? I just want the calcium out of my arteries.
Thanks Dr Berg! I remember asking my father's heart surgeon "What causes the calcification?" and he said, "Well ww really don't know"... and thinking to myself that they haven't done their home work!
I had a CAC score last year and my score was 1100.When they put the camera in my heart i only had a 40% blockage in one of the arteries so i didn't even need a stent. I"m a 65 year old male i would say i"m extremely fit for my age, i do a lot of cardio work outs at the gym and eat quite healthy. Will this slow down my calcium score or is it still likely to keep on rising.
Was there a name for that test? I am in a similar situation. My score was 2025 two years ago. I’m 71 and work out with weights or cardio everyday. Seeing my heart doctor in 3 weeks and would like to get that test for peace of mind. Thank you.
Thank you Dr. Berg. This info is so helpful. I’m 67 and my father’s family has a history of heart disease. I just quit my 10mg of rosuvastatin after taking for 6 months. My CAC score was 1600 and that’s why I caved and started taking it. After 4 weeks of taking it, My total cholesterol went from 228 to 159! I eat clean most of the time, organic, grass fed, very little sugar and processed foods. At that appointment I asked if I can go off of the statin, the cardiologist answered me sarcastically, of course you can, but if get any pain in your heart, you need to go to emergency immediately. This scared me, thus I didn’t stop the statin until recently. I met with my PCP last month and told her what I was doing and can I get an order to do blood work. She resisted some but gave the order, said to wait 3 months after stopping the statin to do the blood work. Also asked about getting another CAC test, she said, oh no you don’t need it, it will stay the same. But then added, try to loose more weight and that may help. I’m saying to myself all this time, this is BS and have been continuously following you and a few other TH-cam doctors. Of course this story is much longer, but wanted to say how much you are appreciated. BTW, I’m 5’3” and 150 lbs and started getting back to exercising and doing the intermittent fasting.
Here if doctor Berg would reply and suggest then all of us (who are taking blood thinner and rosuvastatin daily ) could have been benefited ,and confusion could erased. Please Doctor sir for sake of patients like us ,pl reply or make a video on it,Thank you sir
I stopped taking them and my cholesterol is higher than my doctor likes but she knows I will not take them again. They are not super high or out of control. I’m perfectly healthy. I take fish oil daily. I eat a huge salad every day for lunch. Fast 14 hours daily. Take my Dr Berg D3 with K2 daily. I just had a cardio gram and my score was a laughable 9.
In short, the path to health is eat real food, eat once or twice at most per day, limit sugar as much as possible, keep mind and body active, keep stress as low as possible, and have healthy relationships. Thank you good doctor! Edit: one more to add, and limit ultra processed food, only as treats.
I am so grateful for your videos Dr Berg. I have learned so much from you. I have made a lot of changes in my life in the last few years and you have been such a huge influence. Your ability to explain the functions of the various systems of our bodies is second to none. Keep up the good work my friend. So many golden nuggets in everything you say and your calm laid back voice is easy on the ears as well lol.
What can be done once the calcium has lined the arteries? I understand K2 can help prevent the problem, but if you have a bad CAC, is there a Roto-Rooter option?
Thank you Dr Berg. You have always been the best and simply keep getting better! Happy holidays my friend and thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and doing it in a way we can all understand.
Very important video. Dr. Eric, year ago I bought a used book (because I didn't find it anywhere), including today you can see, only used; it looks like something that "they" want to hide. And I saw that most of diseases are caused by calcium deposits. And I don't use any calcium supplement or combined with other supplement too; only calcium from food. The name of the book: The Calcium Bomb, Douglas Mulhall & Katja Hansen
As usual, a fantastic video by Dr Berg. I've been following your content for the past four years and they have never failed. May I suggest making a video about hereditary blood diseases and syndrome such as sickle cell anemia and g6pd deficiency. What to avoid and what they should eat. And whether keto would help. Thanks again for a wonderful channel.
Also, “ACCUTE INTERMITTENT PORPHYRIA” ~ AIP; a GENETIC BLOOD DISORDER. For Dr BERG to present a TH-cam video on this site would be a rare gift; a blessing 🙏 😌.
Hmmm, my German ancestors ate sausage and sour krout and lived into their 90's. I guess they had something figured out back then. Love your style of presentation and love the knowledge. I've felt for some time that we haven't had it figured out about fat and I think you are proving it here. Keep empowering people with information to take their lives into their own hands. Thank you, thank you.
@@jadeblackwell6227 So? Look for organic food. Look for best sources as much as possible. Eat as good as you can. Sauerkraut is easy to make with white cabbage. Good meat can also be found nowadays. Gotta be willing to learn and research some things. There is an abundance of information, but the will to learn is scarce.
@@abundand my point is that our society has changed so much. Everything is more convenient or faster now. It is sad that half of the food that exists today didn’t exist 100 years ago. It sad we can’t even trust our own government, to supply us with safe and healthy food. It is like they try to purposely poison us.
Hey doc! Just got my first CAC. Only had a 2 in 1 artery....but I have calcified lymph’s in the mediastinum area. Will K2 help clean out lymph’s too? Hopefully. Thanks for your answer!
Wow! Every one of your videos blows me away with the wealth of your knowledge. It is great that you are teaching people about preventative healthcare and wellness through proper diet and nutrition. I am over 50 and I am learning a lot from you. Thank you.
A huge "clinical" study finished months ago stated that K2 MK7 had no impact on calcium in the arteries. THIS WAS A CLINICAL STUDY OVER 5 YEARS WITH OVER 100 PARTICIPANTS! Usually i agree with the vast majority of what you say BUT, this CLINICAL study is at least several months old, and in fact saw it on youtube from several different physicians with prestigious institutions. All that being said, I have lost a great deal of respect for most doctors myself!
That is why I am inclined NOT to trust main stream medicine, about anything. A study five years ago? That coincides with the chicomwuhanflu. Trust it at your peril.
I started taking K2D3 many years ago for reducing calcium in my ear drums due to vertigo. To my surprise I had a test done on my arteries and heart and my score came up zero. Which put my heart and artery health to a person 20 years younger. It also surprised me that when I looked into protecting my health these last few years that I was already doing much of what was needed to stay healthy. When I got what was going around I hardly had an issue with symptoms.
High D3 prevented that fake flu IMO , I used Natto, Sunshine,D3 MK7, and the right food, I'm old, diebetic,and smoke, was around all the sick jabbed ones, not a sniffle, luck maybe ? But I'm staying on my prevention
@@Drberg Hi Doctor, I have to take Amlodipine and Olmesartan for high blood pressure. Tired all the natural "Cures" and nothing helped. Are those two meds bad for me in other ways?

Dear Dr Berg, yoy deserve 50 Noble Prizes , no one had ever tell us so much real stuff , medical doctors are murders 🙏🙏🙏
ok
What are your views on the carnivore diet?
K2- you want mk7 since that is the only one with good absorption = BIO-AVAILABILITY best to take with D3
Calcium is the cargo on a train. Vitamin D is the train, its a transport for the calcium. Vitamin K2 is the conductor. It takes calcium from places it shouldn’t be and puts it where it should be.
Now that was good!
Thank you - what a great visual and so easy to understand!
Thumbs up! Let me add, that "train" is the intestines, the vitamin D pulls the calcium on board.
I take d3+k2 mk7 no calcium in my heart works good they ask me at hospital what I was taking prevent heart decease
I love this explanation it really simplifies it
My dad was diagnosed with calcified arteries and given statins and pain medications. After doing research I realised statins would kill him in the long run. So further research led me to studies where K2 was able to reduce up to 25% of arterial calcification in a short period time. So that's what we did. My dad started taking K2 supplements for many months and today he is perfectly fine and still working at his advanced age.
What k2 supplements did you buy
@@Neo2012100 k2-7
Plz let me know which brand do u purchase these supplements from. Maybe share a link. Thanks
My farther has been taking statins for 5 years. He had bypass surgery 5 years. 90 % of his arteries were pluqued. But he has high cholesterol not calcium build up.
As far as I know statins are for hight cholesterol. Anyways how did you manage to safely to do it? I want to do it to.
@@quiztherapy6851 From what I know high cholesterol is caused by the body trying to heal over hardened arteries caused from calcium buildup. So, put the calcium back to the bone with K2 should lower cholesterol. But hey, I am not a doctor.
Over 8 months ago I had a CT scan for my heart and my results were terrible. Calcium over 250%, 99% stenosis etc.. I was morbidly obese at 280lbs. Have been struggling with autoimmune condition called Grave’s diseases. Had crazy palpitations that made me think I was having a heart attack. Had an angioplasty done and decided to take it seriously and look for ways to loose weight. I’ve been following Dr Bergs for the last 8 months and practicing most of what he’s been posting here. I’ve lost 80 lbs in 8 months and still loosing weight. Feel and look younger. I got to say thank you Dr Berg you have saved my life. It takes discipline to follow through but anyone who wants to live can do it. I’m now able to do OMAD multiple times a week along with keto and feel pretty awesome! Keep up saving lives! I know many doctors including cardiologist don’t have any idea of any of this and are clueless on how to really help their patients. They just pump you full of drugs and tell you not to eat red meats. They frown at Keto diets and even fasting yet I’ve lost 80lbs. I’ve lost my respect for most doctors.

Regardless of what anyone says...he saved my life early this year when I was so ill, I didn't realise I was close to organ failure.
I came out of bed every few days, feeling fit ,as a fiddle, ate my normal well balanced meals always topped of with a jar of home stewed concentrated fruit spread, made only from friut cooked in its own juice and the water drops from washing the home grown plums, apples etc not a crystal of sugar in anything. I'd top of these delights ,with semi frozen Greek yoghurt and next day, I'd be back in bed for 2 or 3 days.
While up, on my good day, I'd watch a hallmark Xmas video or 2 and over a period of a month I noticed a particular video jumping out at me.
I took no notice, as I felt it didn't apply to me...until one day I was a tad clearer headed and thought...I think my Guardian Angel is trying to get me to watch this jolly video.
So I did,and immediately realized I had glucose problem from all the overdosing on those beautiful fruits I'd condensed down to such a degree, I reckon there were about 100 plums in each jar I consumed every day.
I immediately emptied my freezer and did a walk around my village, giving away my second freezer full of those goodies...plus I began keto experiments over the next 4 month, went to an endocrine specialist, over 500 miles away n early May and had every test under the sun.
She found to her horror my glucose tolerance test was off the charts...and was headed for pancreas and liver probs, followed by diabetes if we couldn't head it off.
6 months later, I've just come back from my checkup and she was shocked again.
This time, I barely made the low end of normal for blood sugars and just crept into normal, on the low side for insulin levels, an hour after eating.
She said whatever you are eating, keep on with keto, and doing your mowing, gardening, house repairs, chopping etc.It helps your muscle density and is good for your bones.
And I'm over 80 yrs old...and am really very fit, and starting back jogging in Nov, after collapsing and being knocked unconscious for over an hour, with bad concussion in Mid August from sunstroke.
His vids saved my life early this year...and I'm very thankful. Xx
What a wonderful success story! Congratulations! Be careful in the sun. Heatstroke can creep up on you without you realizing. I rejoice with you over your greatly improved health!
@@Glorydancer333 Thankyou, you are very sweet. And I wish you a very merry and healthy life too. Xxx

@@Lotus-Subliminals-Shorts Thankyou for the comment. Update...It has been about a year now and I was surprised over Christmas, I ate basically what everyone else ate, but consumed more meat than others, had trifle, icecream, moderate fruits, mangoes especially, in OZ with family, and yesterday, was a bit naughty too...and I think my pancreas may be healed, and the insulin resistance cured. I feel normal, had no problems, but see no reason not to continue eating keto for the rest of my life. The only thing is I need my bald spots to grow back!
Happy Christmas Season and a healthy New Year to you and your family.

Several years ago I took Vit K2-MK7, Vit D3, and Magnesium for about 2 years before a recheck of my arteries. My coratid arteries had been around 80% calcified and came down to near 20%.
This WORKS!
And, saddenly, my doctor wasn't even aware of Vit K2. The cardiologist labeled my results as "unexplainable". Haha.
Congratulations!
Was it all in one supplement the K2-mk7? What meds were you on? I was told some vitamins cannot be taken with prescription drugs
Which brand of supplements did you take? Would be really helpful if you could share some details
👀
I took K2-Mk7, D3 and Magnesium and my CAC score has doubled in the last 4 years! I don't get it. What was your K2-Mk7 dosage.
It's nice to hear someone actually define the ratio of D3 to K2. 10,000iu/100mcg. Thanks Dr. Berg!!!
Causes of a vitamin K2 deficiency:
• A fatty liver
• Gallbladder issues
• Gut problems
• Not consuming enough fermented foods
• A low-fat diet
Foods rich in vitamin K2:
• Natto
• Sauerkraut
• Cheese
• Butter
• Kefir
• Egg yolk
• Liver
• Sausage

I agree completely. No doctor I have seen in person has the wealth of information he brings to the fore, and their knowledge of diet is so bad I'm surprised those doctors I drifted them have medical issues themselves. Even in their 30s. We need more like Dr. Berg.

I am grateful for you, my husband was put on a statin and we are completely against it but he is literally being bullied by his doctor by creating fear in him. I am grateful for your videos. I have been an ER nurse for almost 20 years and it is a shame what mainstream western medicine has done to our patients.
My heart goes out to you hearing this and I agree with what you say.
Yep FEAR. Doctors don’t even know much about the drugs they push.
Doctors put fear in their patients who want to avoid statins because of side effects....studies actually show a measly 1% risk
reduction...
Wonder how much of this bullying of patients is caused by insurance companies. If a patient doesnt follow the recommended treatment, does the insurance company " ding" the doc, and is the patient labeled as non- compliant? Does this affect the ability of the patient to obtain insurance and the cost? Just Thoughts....
I heard Co-enzyme Q10 supplementation whilst on statins can help if you feel you must take it. But there is little proof in the literature that statins help anyone. I spent 9 years as a cardiology research coordinator. There is a high chance of developing diabetes, brain fog, severe muscle problems like rhabdomyolysis etc. Doctors tend not to mention this. And a recent study showed there was a higher incidence of developing breast cancer from being on statins for several years. Everyone should make their own decisions but the research is out there to discover. Dr Berg's nutrition advice is good for many medical conditions.
This is the type of stuff we should be learning in school and health class.
Very glad to be of help.
YEP! 👍 👍 🙏 🧘♂️ 💙 ☮

This is all consuming. Answer : stop eating junk food. Answer : exercise. Answer : drink water. Last answer : stop arguing , start loving.
I was prescribed a statin several years ago because I had high triglycerides. After 2 days, my muscles started spasming, I couldn't sleep, and was constantly nervous. I quit it after 2 days. It took over a year for my spasming to stop. Once there was no real evidence that statins prevent heart attacks or strokes, I decided I'd rather die of natural causes rather than have my muscles disintegrate and have massive kidney failure.
Yes, while the claim that statins lower cholesterol, *by a meagre 1 or 2 percent,* the evidence shows that lowering cholesterol has *no effect* on fatalities, and actually is *protective against* cancer, and Alzheimer's disease.
Excellent summary. Rapamycin helps too.
Statins for triglycerides is criminal! Triglycerides are ALL a function of elevated SUGAR. That is 100% diet and lack of exercise. Good for you and good synopsis
Did you change anything? Diet? Exercise?
Triglycerides = too much carbs and sugar in your diet. Ie. Avoid: Juice, cakes, bread, rice, cokes, etc. Drink more water instead.

I wonder if one can take vitamin K2 if they have had Cholecystectomy many years age without side effect.
@@michaelwhite5255 Reading about people who are on kidney dialyse 3 times a week taking 360mcg K2 having benefit, less inflammation, no negative side effects.
When your'e on 'old family' of bloodthinners (vita K-antagonists) you have to be very carefull and need a doc to gide you. Normally K2 does not interfere with metabolism of fatty-acids nor your cholesterol.
Only "if they have had Cholecystectomy" is too little info.
If you now the cause, what made removing necessary, inflammation or forming/ blocking stones..? Were there any gallstones, what did those stones consist of, calcium, cholesterol or bilirubin (breakdown product of red blood cells)If you find the cause, you can properly tackle and solve a problem. Now I think only one very nasty symptom (inflamed gallbladder) has been removed. - if you take extra carbonate calcium on doctor's advice, I would not use K2.
Who knows, if one could have prevented all of that with a proper diet and taking K2...
He is a good teacher, when he is explaining something, he speaks slowly and clearly.

My CAC score was ZERO!! And my doctor still was telling me I probably needed a statin, because she was using the incorrect way to calculate cholesterol, which I learned the correct way by watching Dr. Berg's videos on cholesterol. Thank you, Dr. Berg!!!
How should I correctly calculate my cholesterol. My dr. Just told me yesterday my ldl was 60. He said this is good but he didn’t know what my hdl was. I thought this was weird. Do you think so?
Do you have to have a doctors order to get that test?
I had a cac scan 0, 3 years later eating a carnivorous diet high fat 0 again 😂 Doctors don’t know a lot fixating on cholesterol
Incredible. Well done 👏
@@Stopvotingdemocrat ayes this is weird. Most doctors would know. Triglycerides as well, which is the most important number.
At 67, my calcium score was 0. I am grateful for my father's genes. Yes, he had a HA but not premature at 86, and he also neglected himself all his life, drink and smoked heavily. Regardless of his bad life style, he tended to look younger, dr said his organs were in decent shape with a bit of cirrhosis, but at 86 and drinking? My grandmother, dad's mom, pass in her late 90s f rom a fall. I do not remember she ever visiting a dr and taking any medications, only OTC for headaches. She also smoked heavily and drank black/unsweetened coffee all day. She was active until her fall. His sister was 99 at time of death from lung cancer; she also smoked. Her death, however, was a peaceful one. The issue of diabetes comes from my mom's side. Luckily I was on time to reverse pre diabetes, and that's what I did. Otherwise, I have been extremely healthy all my life. No, I do not drink/smoke, I hated it since my childhood; that bad habit almost got us kids killed. Be proactive with your health, blessings!

@@sethdaboss245 Thanks for your wishes. If I can live that long, I am grateful. My main goal is to have the best quality of life possible, walk till the end, and passing away peacefully and comfortably.
Thanks, nice beard! Started eating natto and doing K2 eight years ago after open heart surgery to have a calcified aortic valve replaced.
Still here and healthier then i've been in the last several decades. I'm 76 now and am trying a full on carnivore diet after 8 years of on/off
keto eating. Dr Berg, along with Ken D Berry have been my primary source of medical leadership. My obese Docs say to do statins and blood thinners,
I'm thriving without them; and knocking on wood! :)
Keep knocking, and stay well. You figured it out. Both of these docs share a lot of life changing and saving knowledge! Thank God for them.
So very well done 👍 Have you gone back to them, see if you could help them (and their patients) with your new stable data?
Bruce Prigge that’s great to hear, well done and may you live a long and happy life.
My husband not yet 60 has had two aortic valves replaced for a congenital bicuspid aortic valve problem. The first was a biological valve in July 2010, he became winded by 2012 and coughing (unproductive).
His second valve (same reason) was done end of August 2020, only 2 yrs end of August he chose mechanical & they have him on warfarin, his surgery was done in England he’s already feeling out of breathe using the stairs.
I’m concerned warfarin is causing a problem, he believes he needs it, I can’t find any information which doesn’t go with the pharmacological narrative.
May I please ask if your valve is mechanical or biological? If you prefer not to answer that’s okay, thank you for reading my comment. Mia.
@@msheart2 Hello Mia, mine is biological, it’s made from a cows pericardium. When I was doing research around the time I had the valve changed I read an article that stated anticoagulants advance calcification, that’s why I refuse to take them. I spoke to the medical people at the hospital were I had the valve changed, they said they had never heard of such a thing. Not surprising, they only know what the drug companies tell them. My aerobic capacity is below normal and has been since before the valve was changed but I don’t run any more so it doesn’t create much of a problem. I go to ‘Silver Sneakers’ a couple times a week and walk a mile a few times a week, the exercise part is very important, for me anyway. I live in Minnesota, USA, where the winters are very harsh. I have discovered that NOT doing aerobic exercise over the winter takes a very noticeable toll on my aerobic capacity. When I got back out walking this spring I could NOT walk a mile without a break. I stuck with it and within a month I was breezing through a mile without stopping. Body weight is also very important; any extra body weight really noticeably shows up as a low aerobic capacity. (Getting winded easily). Going low carb and now full on carnivore has really helped with the body weight. My surgeon, a lady with an Irish name, said that anticoagulants are very important with metal valves, not so much with biological valves.
Doctors🤡
Wow, this was so helpful! I’m having these exact issues. This helped me understand what the body needs and, most importantly, why! Thank you 😊
Sea foods and beef liver are full of vitamin K2, it's good to consume them on regular bases. Thanks Dr Berg 😊
What’s the best way to eat beef liver? Raw?
@@paulcuddle664 Not for me. I shallow fry diced liver with chopped onions, garlics, and green peppers, or sometimes green chillies, with some spice and salt. That's the Middle Eastern way of cooking it ( usually it's lamb liver, which is more popular there) some people like to add herbs too: like dill or coriander/ cilantro.
I disagree. Seafood today is FULL of mercury and other stuff that is toxic so not recommended. Liver of animals - has nutrients but is also high in toxic elements bc after all liver is the filter organ of the body so really not as so many like to tout a healthy giving food. Better to stick with cleaner sources.
Funny to say this but in the late 40s when my sister-in-law was pills. And sickly (rheumatic fever) her mom couldn't get her to eat liver in any way cooked so she froze it & cut it into very small cubes and the girl swallowed it as if it were pills.

I absolutely LOVE the knowledge this man has and how well its communicated... even a pleb like me can actually digest and learn from the way Dr Berg structures this information.
The problem is that he is often totally wrong, and the information is incorrect. He has no training in anything, he is not a doctor. Check this video out; "Dr. Eric Berg gets fact-checked by MD PhD doctor". And realize that he has no clue about what he is talking about.
Dr. Berg rocks.
This is a totally useless comment like almost 90% of the top comments...
You could instead be usefull and write a short description of the video so i dont have to waste 7mins of my life watching the vid...
The amount of research that Dr Berg do to deliver these small and powerfull information packets is insane. I have adopted lot of these learnings in my life and might have added 5 more years to my life. Thank You
Very glad to be of help.
i adopt everything i can from dr bergs teachings, i think i have my carb and sugar intake down to zero except for necessaries like leafy greens, nuts, seeds and those kinds foods, i think i am in ketosis all the time now
Same…
I had parts of my teeth where the enamel was disappearing on my gum line. I’ve been taking k2 for 6 months now and seen a big improvement.
My optometrist said I had a "2 out of 10" cataract. After taking 1000mcg K2 a day, the fogginess in my eyes, cleared up. (along with other miraculous things) When I went back in a year later, the optometrist actually laughed when I asked about my cataracts. He said: "You have no cataracts". Also Nurses are always surprised and say: You have the blood pressure of a teenager. OK.
You have inspired me to go back to eating no sugar again (it works I lost 15 pounds last year just by cutting out sugar and felt so much better but then I just had a knee replacement two months ago and started eating it again and gained a little weight) and also going back to vitamins again that have K2 and Vit D. I needed a scare and this was it! ❤️
First, I am not a doctor. That does not mean that I know nothing. That said there are several things I have learned that I would like to share. First, there are two versions of Vitamin K2, one is called MK4 which you can get in various foods as well as what is called mega does K2. Younger bodies generally can metabolize the MK4 in MK7 which is the bio available and active form your body needs to remove the calcium from your plague. As you age, or with certain generic or other medical conditions your body cannot metabolize the MK4 version as well. Hence, you should supplement with the MK7 version, generally at a dose of 20mcg or less.
Second, removing the calcium in the plague of the artery walls probably causes inflammation of the endothelia cells that are the lining to the arteries. This can be a real issue in terms of additional clotting as well as ulceration of the hardened arteries. The question I have yet to discover the answer to is how does the body best get rid of the remaining lipid components (cholesterol, triglyceride, and protein) that make up the rest of the remaining plague?
Great video! You mentioned statins causing issues with k2, but also some blood thinners will too. It’s sad that the medicines that are prescribed to help prevent heart disease and stroke are actually setting people up for worse events in the future, as my father discovered.
Take extra magnesium and EVERYTHING gets better.
Another great video. Dr Berg finds the most relevant topics to talk about. In this case & with other videos “ I would have never known” is my usual reply. Both medical doctor & naturopathic practitioners that I have ever met, did not provide the facts with such clarity backed up by facts. I recommend Dr Berg to everyone I know. Keep up the good work Dr., you are saving lives.
Good info, thanks. Boron should also be considered as it regulates the parathyroid gland which in turn regulates the levels of calcium & phosphorus in the blood. Also, don't forget the importance of magnesium in affecting bone (& teeth) density.
Which type of magnesium is best for that?
@@tep1962 doctor Berg has vids on types of magnesium.
Listening to government+ following the sheep is no good 😉
I wish all doctors were trying help us like DR Berc ,most of them know nothing and they just prescribing more drugs without even trying to find the real problem 🤷
Just saw this video! Excellent information Dr. Berg! Incorrect diet is a huge part of many of our problems. Please do a video on Osteoporosis causes and proper treatment. We need more doctors like you! Thanks!!!
I take 10,000 IU D3 and 1,500mcg K2/MK7 a day. My ticker and BP, for a 61 yr old guy, BMI 24.8, are fine (121/82).
A recent blood test showed a Vitamin D level of 89ng/ml.
You may want to look into vitamin d value of 89 and find out if it’s too high.
Dr Pradip Jamnadas recommends vitamin d level not more than 60-70. He’s a cardiologist and talks a lot about fasting for health
ng/ml ? or nmol/L ? if it's the first one, that's high, if you are in the northern hemisphere drop it to 5,000UI or take a break 😅
i guess covid can't make you a scratch with that numbers Gerald hahahhahh
Hi there? Is a K2 dose that high good...? Or safe?
I agree, I hadn’t heard of people taking K2 MK7 in dosages that high, only K2 MK4
@@techknowledgestuff TY. Yes, I sometimes do IF (intermittent fasting) as well (which helps with the BMI).
Most doctors still have no idea about this. They just hand out statins without offering any clue to patients about what they can do to stop the calcification. Thanks for the clear description of the issue and what you can do to prevent the condition.
There's also sugar which damages the arterial walls which fatty deposits can form and possibly calcium too
My CAC score was 1406! Three stents installed and started D3/K2-7, no issues since (3 years).
What do you consume to start D3/K2-7?
Have you had another CAC test since? I’m curious if the K2 lowered your score.
I started off with 40,000 iu D3 / 400 mcg K2. After a year, I dropped it to 30,000/300. Second year and on, now at 20,000/200.
No repeat CAC, metal stents in heart, so kinda leary.
I started with Dr. Bergs D3/K2. Havent been sick, no Covid, no more wrist pain from guitar playing either.
@manuel. Is that a weekly dose?
Remember women can have different symptoms- just about any complaints above your waist. My mom had nausea and flu symptoms (way before covid). She never made it to the hospital.
Very sorry to hear. 👍🙏
A friend of 60+ years spoke to me of an episode she had of abdominal discomfort right beneath her breasts a week prior. She made a motion with her hands from side to side. Because I am a retired OR RN who scrubbed on the cardiovascular team I recommended that she report this to her MD. She did so and said that the MD told her it was related to her obesity and that she doesn't need to be concerned unless the pain is in her shoulder, jaw or arm. I have witnessed a woman's death from having unreported abdominal pain, later to be an MI.
After my heart attack, i was placed on statins and then began doing my own research and discovered the dangers of statins. I then discovered K2 and have been on it ever since. I told my cousin, who was having high BP, after taking D3&K2, his BP went down!
Did you have high blood pressure before heart attack?
Did you stop taking the statins and replace with K2? How is your health now?

Aloha Dr Berg! Your videos are so VALUABLE and so EFFECTIVE! Your Presentation, the Subject Matter, your Teaching Methods, all the cutting edge Research; So much, so efficient, your videos are educating and saving people. You and your gifts keep on giving. It's true. Sharing is caring. I'm sharing how to pronounce Natto: Just link the words "not" and "toe" together. Natto is an aquired taste. Hot mustard or wasabi may increase it's palatability for some but try seasoning with cumin, chili powder, cilantro, salsa, lime, avocado and cheese or sour cream over greens. You may find natto heaven, but natto can become "addictive". Cooked soybeans innoculated with natto cause fermentation similar to the yogurt making process and also can be made at home. The resulting Natto kinase is a Serine protease of the subtilisin family, thus the Bacillus subtilis var natto: the potent, beneficial fibrinolytic enzymes that are known to survive digestion and remain viable when eaten.
Mahalo Dr Berg (thanks in Hawaiian)! Your hard work is much appreciated!
You're ANOTHER REAL DEAL, Leona :) You must be a scientist or bookkeeper or a passionate accountant to put this info here so eloquently.
Leona Roberts thanks for the added info on Natto. I became used to Natto taste quickly, even though I had been raised on a western pallette. So grateful the Hilo KTA always has it in stock, even an organic one.

Love your videos
Dr. Berg, there are a couple of things you failed to mention. Osteogenic loads upregulate calcium bone uptake, and cortisol down regulates it. Therefore, under the proper nutrition, lifting weights will likely stimulate calcium to be drawn out of the arteries and into bone, while a high stress lifestyle will likely make any intervention slow or futile.
What if magnesium is taken? Will that change things?
@@CVenza magnesium is great, but helps mostly indirectly. It will reduce cramping and improve heart function. It can also help with sleep and anxiety.
@@Carlosconga ; @J. Carlos Diaz H.; It does more than that. Magnesium well absorbed at the cellular level is responsible for 80% of known metabolic functions. It transports energy, transmits nerve signals, and relaxes muscles. The best way to take magnesium is transdermal IMO ;)
@@CVenza Taking 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in water increases absorption of most minerals, especially magnesium. Good to take this combo near bedtime to assist with sleep. Most people have too LITTLE stomach acid, not too much, to properly assimilate minerals. Dr. Berg talks about this.
@@1charlastar886; Everybody is different I suppose. Apple cider vinegar is very good but can interact with magnesium when taken together. Best talk to your doctor or nutritionist.
Hi Dr. Berg.. I'm so glad i came across this information. I have a terrible combination of health issues that create a seemingly impossible situation for me to lose any weight to improve my heart or even health overall. Im 50 now and, aside from having lifelong chronic depression, anxiety and ptsd my constant stress/grief manifested itself about 3 years ago when i was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease/osteoarthritis in my whole spine, neck, shoulders, hips, elbows etc., atrial fibrillation (had an ablation after suffering a year which helped hugely), esophogitis from 25+ years of acid reflux disease then GERD which created a stricture and herniation of part of my stomach into my esophagus (I had two endocscopies: one which broke that up, and an exploratory for signs of cancer. Thankfully none.) Recently I had stomache pain and was told I have a fatty liver, and now, (because i have lung concerns with nodes) I had a chest scan which showed signs of calcification starting in my arteries.
I made huge changes to my diet at the start.. no carbs/pasta/potatoes, only lean meat/fruit/veges, no dairy, more eggs etc, but I also have an eating disorder (which likes to beat me up along with my depression at the unfairness of it all) so I have still gained around 50lbs in the last 2 years alone. Not good. So now I am at a scary 250lbs. All I can really do, due to the amount of whole body pain and heart strain at even the slightest exertion, is try to go for slow walks every day. I started taking alot of vitamins (theraputic levels) years ago at the onset.. E for my heart, D3, B12 (doc recommended from the start), C, Calcium/Mag/Zinc. After learning of this recent calcification in my arteries I have been trying to find the right info for vitamins to change/add /suppliment my regimin. It all feels so hopeless and the whole thing about Vitamin D has been really confusing to me, but you have explained things in terms I think i can understand and trust. It has been really helpful so thank you.
Thank you for sharing, as all people's experiences are helpful to learn about.
The couple things I see as a potential cause of your continued health/body weight issues is probably eating the fruits (too much fructose in your diet), and also eating lean meats.
You need the animal fats! Eating the natural fats that occur with the meat is the way to go. ☺️
Bu sure to watch Dr Berg's videos on the ketogenic diet.
Those videos will introduce you to it and important tips also. Take notes and read people's great positive comments about how they lost weight and greatly improved their health!
when the body says no (DR gabor Maté) childhood trauma and trying to get approval or love and avoiding disapproval (teal swan has a wonderfull video (Stop abandoning yourself ) gabor says in his book not why the addiction, but why the pain. integrity is the cure for unhappiness (Martha Beck) dr Joe dispenza has wonderfull video's on how our subcontious is responsible for 95 % of our actions. our beliefs make our world. Dr Bruce Lipton(the biology of belief) Christiane Beerlandt (the key to self liberation)
Low carb diet is great, but lean meat raises red flags. Protein needs to be eaten with fat. Eat fatty cuts of meat, and wild caught salmon.
You are in a desperate place. I would suggest emphasizing intermittent fasting. Also in your eating window eat a meal lasting no more than one hour with an hour and a half in between. If you could limit yourself to 3 meals a day and no snacking things might start to turn around. For two of the three meals eat no carbs only fats, protein, and non starchy vegetables. Then for one meal, lasting only an hour, eat as you wish. Try to limit the meat/animal foods as they raise insulin. The other suggestion I have would be to go completely starch based vegan with no oil and no animal at all along with at least 12 hours of not eating at night. Dr. Jason Fung is another resource for the first method and Dr. John McDougall is the resource for the second. If you could just not eat at all for a few days at a time it would kick start your efforts! I love and recommend Dr. Berg but his way of eating might be too difficult for you until you get some of your emotional and physical problems under control. Then you can switch to Dr. Berg entirely.
Thank you for sharing ur story. I pray that you heal from the conditions. ❤ & light to you.
Interesting. I’ve been researching fermented foods and lactofermentation as a process. You are my favorite doctor! Thank you for everything 🙏🏻💜
Saurkraught?
I had a CAC test and my score was zero. My doctor was surprised because I have high blood pressure. I'm over 60 but I work out heavily. I'm a Kung Fu instructor. I think the problem is leaky gut, because I am also gluten sensitive, among other reasons. I watched this video to try to understand why my CAC is so low. I do have a belly, but not as bad as most people my age, but I do think I have fatty liver. I do eat Kimchi, sauerkraut, live cheeses (raw preferred) and take a probiotic, although I don't eat a lot of each because of the salt. I love liver (so does my dog), but my wife doesn't so I have it only occasionally, and only free range organic (mostly chicken liver). I also eat yogurt, kefir and 2 eggs a day. I try to get probiotics in my diet and avoid antibiotics. I have been doing all this for many years. It looks like I don't need a K2 supplement, but I have tested deficient in vitamin D do take vitamin D supplement. I want off my blood pressure meds and hope addressing the fatty liver and leaky gut issues will do it.
FASTING!!!!
what is your cholestrol numbers ?
Recent research has pointed towards cocoa being just as good if not better for blood pressure than meds. Apparently cocoa reduces vascular hardness. Apparently, it also won't stop blood pressure below what's good, but it will reduce it if it's higher. The placebo was brown sugar in the control. It was taken in capsules. Don't use alkalized kind, it removes some of the benefit. Look up the research, see how you feel about it. Also, milk thistle for fatty liver, right? I'm doing the cocoa thing myself, like you, very fit, with a little mild Dad belly. Definitely have considered it's fatty liver... so I'm getting back on the milk thistle, should do Vit D, yeah, doing the liver thing, and just started on the cocoa using Ghirardelli baker's cocoa - not Dutch. Making a cocoa tea LOL how crazy is that. It's just hot cocoa without sugar or anything, but hey... it's nice!
He made videos to help each of these subjects.
I will learn and check some stuff out based in the video and comments. Doctor appointment Aug 25 next month.
I am beginning to think everything doctors do and say is wrong. This may be the only answer to it all.
This is interesting. When I stopped eating sugar, I noticed that I stopped having plaque building up on my teeth. But, when I messed up and ate some sugar, just one quarter of a snickers bar, I noticed that in just fifteen minutes I started to have plaque growing on my teeth. It was the sugar that was causing and feeding the plaque. So I asked two doctors if this was the same plaque that was in the blood. One doctor said that it was the same plaque and the other said that the plaque was different. I think that the sugar is causing the plaque to grow in our blood causing this calcification. I tried this experiment a number of times and I am totally convinced that the plaque is caused by the sugar.
I would go with the microbiome theory. Instinctively I feel the entire balance in the human body is maintained by the gut bacteria.
Happens to me too! I stay mostly on the carnivore diet. My teeth always feel clean. If I have a cheat day, my teeth feel the plaque build up. It's so disgusting.
@@heatherspenshaw Thank you very much, most people are defending the sugar, but, we know the truth. Have a nice day.

Calcifying and turning into bone!?!🤯🤯🤯
Once the calcium is in your arteries, does it stay forever? I'm definately going to start eating some fermented foods! Thanks dr
Fantastic content and I can bet no one doctor in the whole wide universe who would tell us this 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
My father had 2 heart arteries blocked by calcium deposits. Normal procedure is to use a diamond drill to open up the veins but they gave up in the end as they couldn't get through. In the end it was decided that medication would be best to control his condition. Bizarrely, new veins had started to form which counteracted the blockages.
You should thank God for that
Wow
Angiogenesis. Formation of new blood vessels. Have him get on Nattokinase, Vitamin D (30 minutes of sunshine a day in just shorts also works), K Complex (with multiple types of K2), Iodine with cofactors, Vitamin C, Lysine…..and if you want to supercharge it you can add Zeolite and Methylsulfonylmethane. It sounds like a lot but think of the years of crap we’ve all taken in. Once he’s in the clear, he can tone it down to just vitamins/minerals.
God does Miracles!
Medication...😮pls can you please explain 😢will b more helpful to my father 🙏
Question: once there is calcium in the vessels, can this be reversed? I can tell you that most cardiologists have no idea about k2.
Yes
A cardiologist did a heart cath on me about 4 years ago and was told that I had 85% plugging in two of heart arteries and 65% plugging in the third and they were plugged almost evenly all the way down to the capillaries like he normally sees in diabetics. He installed some stents but they were questionably effective. I started taking 100mcg of Vitamin K2 MK7 daily and after a couple of weeks I noticed less angina pains with activity. I was not taking D3 at the time but I was taking a mulitvitamin. After many months I increased vitamin K2 intake to 4 100mcg supplements daily along with vitamin D3. I am feeling less and less angina with activity. So, I'm a believer in vitamin K2. My gall bladder was removed just after I got the stents do K2 may not be as effective as it would have been.
I would say your improvement is not due to K2, it doesn't work this fast it takes years not months and there is no data to show it removes existing calcification . Do you know you had soft or hard blockage ? Because to me it sounds you had soft plaque and that can be reversed . I highly recommend magnesium , it has the fastest effect on calcium in your blood . How is your blood sugar and insulin resistance ? Stress levels ?
@@supernova1976 All I know is the results of taking K2 and I'm a believer. My blood sugar has never checked above "normal". I'm a low stress type. My wife has been trying to get me to take Magnesium. Maybe I will.

Many thanks, Dr Berg. I've often wondered whether I've been overdosing on Vit D3 as I take it on a daily basis (together with K2 and mg) in winter. Great to learn about the foods that contain K2, too. Thanks a lot!
Me too. What are the doses you take?
So do I
@@shoppingrb9544 Supplements aren't considered Big Pharma but you do you.
You should also consider that our foods grown in dirt over soil lacks most of the basic nutrients we need thus most people are deficient. We need added supplemental nutrients.

@Shopping Rb Dr Berg doesn't struggle with basic English. Trying to read your comment, it's obvious that you struggle with proper English as well as punctuation and grammar.
Please take Extra Virgin Cod Liver Oil for natural Vit D, not synthetic pills. (Pills often contain calcium in some form).
Isn't magnesium deficiency part of the heart disease train wreck? Calcium and magnesium are antagonists. Low magnesium causes calcium to increase in tissues. My personal experience is that deficiency of electrolytes in general contributes to heart problems.
When I had my first CAC test I was heartbroken to find that my score was 217 - I'm only in my 40s. I work out and hike all the time, but my diet was not great. The doc said 217 was "mild" but that didn't help. I've been freaked out about it ever since. However, it prompted change. I started by getting rid of grains and taking K2 (MK4 & MK7) twice a day. A little over a year later following that change, I had a 2nd CAC test and my score was down to 188. Hopefully that's a good sign and not just statistical variance between tests/machines. Now, for the past 6 months I've been following a carnivore based diet (I still eat walnuts, pecans, almonds, avocados, pickles, olives, and onions), and I've lost more weight. I'm dying to know if my CAC score is better or worse because I think about it every freaking day. But I'm not sure I should keep getting a CAC test because of the radiation - how often is too often? I just want the calcium out of my arteries.
I wanna know your score for your next CAC scan please 🙏🏽 I'm on carnivore too!

I had a heart attack 3 years ago and this was very useful for me, I am on statins and can recognize these symptoms. K2 seems to be the key for me.
Magnesium is great also for the heart. I give my fiance lots if garlic to help clear the arteries.
@@tawana2inspire Which magnesium?
Hi Dr Berg,
Would you please talk about May thurner syndrome? Is there any alternative to Stent?
Thank you so much for all your work
I had a CAC score last year and my score was 1100.When they put the camera in my heart i only had a 40% blockage in one of the arteries so i didn't even need a stent. I"m a 65 year old male i would say i"m extremely fit for my age, i do a lot of cardio work outs at the gym and eat quite healthy. Will this slow down my calcium score or is it still likely to keep on rising.
Was there a name for that test? I am in a similar situation. My score was 2025 two years ago. I’m 71 and work out with weights or cardio everyday. Seeing my heart doctor in 3 weeks and would like to get that test for peace of mind. Thank you.
Dr. Eric, all good stuff here thanks for sharing. Were big on vitamins and natural healings. Let's get cooking.
Thank you Dr. Berg. This info is so helpful. I’m 67 and my father’s family has a history of heart disease. I just quit my 10mg of rosuvastatin after taking for 6 months. My CAC score was 1600 and that’s why I caved and started taking it. After 4 weeks of taking it, My total cholesterol went from 228 to 159! I eat clean most of the time, organic, grass fed, very little sugar and processed foods. At that appointment I asked if I can go off of the statin, the cardiologist answered me sarcastically, of course you can, but if get any pain in your heart, you need to go to emergency immediately. This scared me, thus I didn’t stop the statin until recently. I met with my PCP last month and told her what I was doing and can I get an order to do blood work. She resisted some but gave the order, said to wait 3 months after stopping the statin to do the blood work. Also asked about getting another CAC test, she said, oh no you don’t need it, it will stay the same. But then added, try to loose more weight and that may help. I’m saying to myself all this time, this is BS and have been continuously following you and a few other TH-cam doctors. Of course this story is much longer, but wanted to say how much you are appreciated. BTW, I’m 5’3” and 150 lbs and started getting back to exercising and doing the intermittent fasting.
Hello Andra, so did you stop taking the statin medication? Any ill side effects from you stopping them?
Here if doctor Berg would reply and suggest then all of us (who are taking blood thinner and rosuvastatin daily ) could have been benefited ,and confusion could erased.
Please Doctor sir for sake of patients like us ,pl reply or make a video on it,Thank you sir
I stopped taking them and my cholesterol is higher than my doctor likes but she knows I will not take them again. They are not super high or out of control. I’m perfectly healthy. I take fish oil daily. I eat a huge salad every day for lunch. Fast 14 hours daily. Take my Dr Berg D3 with K2 daily. I just had a cardio gram and my score was a laughable 9.
@@wokiepokie From what I have read and heard, cholesterol is not a problem, as long as your triglycerides are low. Check out Dr. Ford Brewer

In short, the path to health is eat real food, eat once or twice at most per day, limit sugar as much as possible, keep mind and body active, keep stress as low as possible, and have healthy relationships. Thank you good doctor! Edit: one more to add, and limit ultra processed food, only as treats.
…and avoid toxic people at all costs.
Sleep!
I am so grateful for your videos Dr Berg. I have learned so much from you. I have made a lot of changes in my life in the last few years and you have been such a huge influence. Your ability to explain the functions of the various systems of our bodies is second to none. Keep up the good work my friend. So many golden nuggets in everything you say and your calm laid back voice is easy on the ears as well lol.
...a lot*... 😊
What can be done once the calcium has lined the arteries? I understand K2 can help prevent the problem, but if you have a bad CAC, is there a Roto-Rooter option?
Thank you Dr Berg. You have always been the best and simply keep getting better! Happy holidays my friend and thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and doing it in a way we can all understand.
Very important video. Dr. Eric, year ago I bought a used book (because I didn't find it anywhere), including today you can see, only used; it looks like something that "they" want to hide. And I saw that most of diseases are caused by calcium deposits. And I don't use any calcium supplement or combined with other supplement too; only calcium from food. The name of the book: The Calcium Bomb, Douglas Mulhall & Katja Hansen
As usual, a fantastic video by Dr Berg. I've been following your content for the past four years and they have never failed. May I suggest making a video about hereditary blood diseases and syndrome such as sickle cell anemia and g6pd deficiency. What to avoid and what they should eat. And whether keto would help. Thanks again for a wonderful channel.
Also, “ACCUTE INTERMITTENT PORPHYRIA” ~ AIP; a GENETIC BLOOD DISORDER.
For Dr BERG to present a TH-cam video on this site would be a rare gift; a blessing 🙏 😌.
He made a few videos on each of these. Even if some of them don’t precisely answer each of these points, I think they should help already.
Put cayenne powder on your meals keep things flowing
Hmmm, my German ancestors ate sausage and sour krout and lived into their 90's. I guess they had something figured out back then. Love your style of presentation and love the knowledge. I've felt for some time that we haven't had it figured out about fat and I think you are proving it here. Keep empowering people with information to take their lives into their own hands. Thank you, thank you.
He did say sauerkraut helps make k2. 😄
Food is so much different now though. They put so many hormones in our food.
@@jadeblackwell6227 So? Look for organic food. Look for best sources as much as possible.
Eat as good as you can. Sauerkraut is easy to make with white cabbage.
Good meat can also be found nowadays. Gotta be willing to learn and research some things.
There is an abundance of information, but the will to learn is scarce.
@@abundand my point is that our society has changed so much. Everything is more convenient or faster now. It is sad that half of the food that exists today didn’t exist 100 years ago. It sad we can’t even trust our own government, to supply us with safe and healthy food. It is like they try to purposely poison us.
Food was clean back n the day. Now its poison.
Hey doc! Just got my first CAC. Only had a 2 in 1 artery....but I have calcified lymph’s in the mediastinum area. Will K2 help clean out lymph’s too? Hopefully. Thanks for your answer!
Wow! Every one of your videos blows me away with the wealth of your knowledge. It is great that you are teaching people about preventative healthcare and wellness through proper diet and nutrition. I am over 50 and I am learning a lot from you. Thank you.
A huge "clinical" study finished months ago stated that K2 MK7 had no impact on calcium in the arteries. THIS WAS A CLINICAL STUDY OVER 5 YEARS WITH OVER 100 PARTICIPANTS! Usually i agree with the vast majority of what you say BUT, this CLINICAL study is at least several months old, and in fact saw it on youtube from several different physicians with prestigious institutions. All that being said, I have lost a great deal of respect for most doctors myself!
That is why I am inclined NOT to trust main stream medicine, about anything. A study five years ago? That coincides with the chicomwuhanflu. Trust it at your peril.
I started taking K2D3 many years ago for reducing calcium in my ear drums due to vertigo. To my surprise I had a test done on my arteries and heart and my score came up zero. Which put my heart and artery health to a person 20 years younger. It also surprised me that when I looked into protecting my health these last few years that I was already doing much of what was needed to stay healthy. When I got what was going around I hardly had an issue with symptoms.
hey, what brand? thank you
Vit.d3 how many iu tks
What kind of test was it??
High D3 prevented that fake flu IMO , I used Natto, Sunshine,D3 MK7, and the right food, I'm old, diebetic,and smoke, was around all the sick jabbed ones, not a sniffle, luck maybe ? But I'm staying on my prevention
It’s cause by k2 ?
Appreciate the fact that you are educating people about the lies they hear from the mainstream of a healthy diet.
Very glad to be of help.
@@Drberg Hi Doctor, I have to take Amlodipine and Olmesartan for high blood pressure. Tired all the natural "Cures" and nothing helped. Are those two meds bad for me in other ways?
9M followers dr. Berg!! Wow!! 👏👏👏 I started following you years ago and it makes me so happy to see that more people are connected to your channel and learning from the best doctor who only means well to all of us! Thanks to you I’ve never gotten sick again or seen a doctor!!
I work in a grocery store, so I see every day the poor diet that many many Americans have. Too much sweets, chocolate, sugar, sugar, sugar! It is harmful for us in so many ways, yet it is so easy to forget how bad it is for you until right after you have consumed it.
