STOP Taking Calcium Supplements (What to Know) 2024

In full agreement with you Dr Berry. Been trying to tell my family forever. Haven't drunk milk since I was 2. Im 59. I told them, humans are the only "critter" to drink milk past infancy. Good gracious...Adult cows MAKE milk, but do not drink it. They eat their greens. Not a Dr or RN. A retired CNA, with a little common sense. Loving your videos.

Thank u Dr Berry for changing our thinking patterns with your valuable knowledge.👍🏼

Dr. Berry, I am a nutritiional consultant and have been researching this topic from every source possible and you made the most sense...thank the Lord for your wisdom and it so makes logic. Thank you so much for your passionate heart for truth. 4/8/22

My mom never drank milk nor took calcium supplements. She did eat a cup of cottage cheese regularly and ice cream occasionally throughout her life tho. She was also practically completely bedridden for decades. She fell twice in her 90s. The dr couldn’t believe she didn’t break anything. She lived until 97.

Thank you...I'm 61 and have been taking one everyday for years...going to through them out right now!!

Years ago I was told post menopause to take calcium. I noticed I didn't feel "right" after a while. First I cut down the dose but finally cut it out. With the new info I'm glad I listened to my body.

Dr Berry, Thank you for spreading the word! I wish I’d found your channel sooner. Perhaps it could have extended my 88-yo Mom’s life. She drank milk daily and took daily calcium supplements for severe osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Earlier this year, she fell, broke her hip and, post surgery, was gone within 24 hours. Scans revealed severe coronary artery calcification and a evidence of a heart attack before after the fall (or during surgery). She was slender, non-smoker, non-drinker who avoided exercise and loved her (“diet”) cookies and ice cream. She was of the generation that bought the hype that (nutritionless) low cal, low fat, high-carb processed diet food was “healthy.” She suffered from numerous systemic diseases, including acid reflux, hiatal hernia, hypothyroid, diverticulitis, depression, IBS, retinopathy and spinal stenosis. She spent the last 2 years of her life in a wheelchair, visiting doctors. Yet she had 5 MD specialists (cardiologist, pulmonologist, internist, gastroenterologist, ophthalmologist and pain management team) who failed to collectively put 2 + 2 together and diagnose her with insulin resistance and systemic inflammation. My living tribute to her is to take your advice, educate myself and others and avoid her mistakes. She was an artist whose mind was sharp until her final day. Following your plan, she might have lived to 100, as she was SO (blindly) conscientious about her health, and did everything her doctors recommended. I will certainly share your channel with others.

I came across this straight after I read a top uk newspaper on my phone saying that it causes strokes, heart attacks and dementia. Then I noticed that you put this out 3 years ago. You have a new subscriber. Thank you.

I was looking for information to share with a friend who’s been taking calcium. I wanted her to understand the dangers. I should have known that you’d have it all presented perfectly in a video! I shared it with her and decided to become a patreon. You’re only the second content creator I’ve ever done that for. You are so worth supporting! Thank you Dr. Berry!

Dr Berry, I realise I'm sharing a bunch of your great videos, so today I liked and subscribed, as the least I could do. You manage to sum up in a few succinct minutes (which is a skill in itself) what I've learned over the last 20 years of research and nutrition education, and I hope you reach many, many people that would like help, who are willing to learn, but just have been completely blindsided by mainstream for years. I hope you stay healthy, and keep up the good work. Best wishes.

I worked with a guy who was going to school to be an EMT 10yrs ago. He told me that too much calcium was a major cause of heart attacks. Lifting heavy weights increases bone strength

Your speech makes high sense. Thanks .I agree 100% the most important having a good strong quality bones rather than having a good density bones. We need either one in well being

Wow! Thank you for clarifying this information Dr Berry. I just talked to my primary doctor and she recommended me to take calcium supplement. This is straight forward explanation and I am not taking the calcium. My mother she is taking calcium and I will talk to her about this information as well. Thank you this educational video. I don’t understand why doctor recommended supplements and don’t talk about negative health impacts in our health. I am glad that somebody educating us! Thank you again !!!

Hilarious!!! Thank you for the honesty and humor you put in your videos Calcium screwed up my para thyroid, now I have to have surgery, it’s been HORRIBLE, the muscle cramping as the result I take all my clients OFF calcium but for all the reasons you listed (I know my situation is unusual)

Thank you so much, Dr. Berry, for taking time out to educate us. Your videos are so informative!

Thank u for this very informative video .had a rising calcium level .was taking calcium supplement & astorvastin calcium per physician. Physician said that had nothing to do with my calcium level .I told her I totally disagreed & refused to take supplement & astorvastin calcium . Wonder how many are walking around with elevated calcium levels having physicians who refuse to continue to learn or think outside the box .thanks again ! We need u physicians who continue to grow & learn .God bless u

I wish I would have known this years ago. I don't drink milk anymore but I have been taking calcium supplements for years. I've had heart issues since I was 50 ( 3 stents and last year quad bypass) I am 64 now. I have never been informed about calcium not being good for my heart and I've seen many cardiologists and done cardiac rehab 3 separate times. So much for the bone density tests they do on you for a physical. I did weight training and cardio for most of my life. It's just in the last few years because of health issues that I stopped weight training. Guess I'll be getting back into the gym for weight lifting. I do take vitamin D daily as I'm aware of the need for that. Thank you for sharing such good info Dr Berry. I think I'll be watching your videos more now. I'm going to pose the calcium question the next time I have to see my family Dr or cardiologist. I'm sure they won't be thrilled with me questioning their treatment !!

This is absolutely true. I used CalCMag for +/- 6 years. I am 67 and in good health. All of a sudden I got some nasty pains in my lower back. I had it for about 6 months and being health conscious tried to do some research by myself. I started with the CalCMag and discovered that my kidney tubes were block due to the calcium making a lining in my tubes. I immediately stopped it and after 3 days the pain went away. I had to clean the kidney tubes with beer to wash away the build-up that caused a very uncomfortable urination. Since then I have been healed. My nephew drinks calcium for years and was always complaining about his prostate. He is 54. I warned him against calcium, but he would not listen. Then one day he said that he has heartburn, which he never gets. It turned out to be a heart attack in the making. 3 days later he got the attack. He had to undergo surgery for 4 stents in his heart. He bought CalCMag again after the op. I fought with him every day and finally said to him that I am tired of fighting and asked him to watch your video. He finally believed me and said that it makes perfect sense what you say, after I forced him to watch and listen to your video. Thanks Dr Berry, it was very interesting

I don't ever drink milk, I've never taken calcium even though my pcp has been after to do so, you were in the back of my mind telling me no and I don't regret it, I think more Dr's should have your common sense and compassion, thankyou so much!! 😊

Great advice! I joined a local gym and starting lifting weights and bought some bone broth and collagen. Good to know about the calcium supplement dangers.
