About 4 years ago I started adding K2-mk7 for my mother and myself. While at my mother's next scheduled appointment w/her cardiologist I mentioned that she was now taking the K2-mk7 and the doc asks me why do I have her on vitamin K. I tell him for the redistribution of calcium, to keep it out of her arteries. He immediately says "No, it has nothing to do with calcium - she shouldn't be taking it." I tell him It's K2-mk7...not K1, but he just repeats what he said and instructs her to stop taking it. That day was the last time we went to him.

Adding calcium carbonate is a marketing ploy that is actually dangerous for your health.
Correct! Calcium Carbonate is bad for us. Years ago my Dr. actually gave me a coupon for a certain brand, it was Calcium Carbonate. I never bought that product.

I was just reading up on K2-MK7, Magnesium, Calcium, and D3 and now here you are on the same topic giving excellent advice (as always!) Thank you for passing on your wealth of knowledge to actually help people!! If they're smart, they'll listen!
As a long time RN I was dismayed at all the little old ladies who were on calcium but no magnesium. When they complained about the disgusting huge pills, I was only too happy to chuck them out! I have been taking K2 with my Mg, D3, for 20 years because of Dr Mercola.
@@zeldamic7746 no I take them separately…d3 needs to be taken with fat early in the day, Mg I take at night, K2 needs to be taken away from the D3…and so on. Multivitamins are not anything I would take…no way of knowing whether they really contain what they say. Plus they are usually full of fillers and lubricants that are hard on the stomach such as magnesium stearate.
@@Katrn30 Thankyou. I take D3 and K2 in the morning and Calcium and magnesium at night. I thought you may be taking Algeacal which has it all in one capsule and overpriced.
Taking vitamin K2 MK 7 gave me my quality of life back🎉🎉🎉 I had severe calcification in my joints that it made it very painful to do anything. Within two weeks of taking vitamin K2 MK 7 all my joints were pain free!!! It’s been 2 1/2 years ago and I am still pain-free. I’m pretty sure I also had calcification in my arteries and didn’t know it. so glad I was able to catch this early before any signs of symptoms of a heart attack or stroke,I will never stop taking this vitamin !!!
Love your channel! I'm 71 yrs young & i take NO medications! I've chosen to take the holistic route regarding my health- so far, so good! Thank you for your valuable knowledge & advice!
I can't give you medical advice BUT you might want to check out the benefits of magnesium to lower blood pressure. Also, breathing exercises help as well. Walking lowers BP too!
Read the book DEATH by CALCIUM by Dr Thomas Levy MD, cardiologist written in 2013. He was the FIRST doctor, let alone cardiologist, to talk about the calcium in most tablets, causing coagulation of the blood and arteries. Worth a read and your time.....🌞
Thank you Dr. Mandel I’ve had two strokes and I was using calcium supplements. Never ran across this information before but you better believe I’m gonna stop and get all of my vitamins from Foods. Thank you.
Hello Dr. Mandell, Thank you for your great videos and sharing all this info with us. Yes, taking calcium tablets alone is dangerous. Yes, like you said the best source is from food itself along with K2. When calcium calcifies the small arteries that is a real problem. I knew someone who had calcified coronary arteries and their doctor did not even suggest vitamin K2. I am glad we have you here with us. Thank you.
Watched a similar video months ago that talked of the relationship of D3 Mg and K2-mk7. I've been taking it for several weeks now, arthritis symptoms in my knees and elbows is nearly gone. The transformation is kind of incredible, as of maybe 6 weeks ago I could not kneel on my left knee because the pain was intense. It is painless now. I recommend anyone with arthritis to try it for a couple months, the other upside is that it is likely clearing up soft tissue calcification throughout your body.
Im a female, almost 64, have severe osteoarthritis and a pacemaker, pain in my knees and hip is getting worse daily. What is it you're taking please?😲 Thanks.
Good morning Dr. Mandell. What an extremely important video for me!! I did hear some negative comments regarding Calcium supplements over the years but after listening to your video just now, I gladly threw out my Calcium tablets in the garbage. God bless you for all your important information that you share with us!!! ❤🙏🏻
The only true beneficial form of calcium is MCHA, micro crystalline hydroxy appetite. In capsule form. It's the best absorbed and assimilated form for our bodies to uptake and utilize, into the bone matrix where it is so needed. The scaffolding. It helps to build osteoblasts not osteoclasts like most Rx drugs do. Jarrow formulas and NOW brand make MCHA. 🌞
Yes I threw out some calcium tabs that also contained titanium dioxide . They use that in paint to make it white and bright and I was shocked. I read labels as much as I can . I was going to phone the vitamin company .
Everything you are teaching us is absolutely the truth!! I almost died because of overdose of calcium supplements I had to have open heart surgery the calcium supplements in my aortic valve and also a blockage in the lower valve my family doctor I take calcium 3 times a day and within a year's time I was fortunate to find a doctor get me right into the hospital I had only a short time to live yay Arctic valve was nearly blocked completely and I hope and pray people will listen to this video as you say eating healthy foods is the best way to stay healthy that all supplements are the same I wish I knew all this before all this happened to me thank you for this video and God bless you
Well-informed video, Dr. Mandell. Natural green foods are the route to good health. I have osteo. I do not take vit d or call or whey protein. I gingerly exercise to avoid any stress fractures. Thank you. Great video. Thank you for your unselfish time to help educate us on so many issues re: our bodies. I appreciate it and you as well. I document every video that pertains to me, my family, and my friends. God bless you and yours. ❤
Spinach is a dangerous food. British food scientist recently found cancer causing Carcinogen in leafy green vegetables like lettice, Kale and Collard greens.
I heard a couple on RUclips totally against vit D supplements 🤷♀️ I live south of Atlanta and have a Vit D app on my phone. It's very good at calculating skin tone, location, and how much skin is exposed. I'm afraid of anything man made anymore. Vitamins aren't regulated
Thank you, doctor. This information on potential calcification is very helpful. I will definitely continue my green smoothie regimen. Have a Blessed day. ❤
All my female cousins drinking milk and taking calcium pills have osteoporosis. I told them to stop drinking milk and eat more vegetables, but they are hooked on milk. Thank you, doc. I will send this video to them
I eat a lot of spinach, tofu, soy milk, but thought I needed that calcium supplement just to make sure I was getting enough. I wasn't aware that the supplements could clog my arteries. Thank you for your expert advice.
Thank you for sharing. My interest lies in bone health and I’ve been using calcium rich foods over supplements. I feel confident I’m on the right path. My goal is to maintain the calcium I have left.
@@victorian4968 are you anemic? We need iron to bring oxygen to the cells, brain cells, heart, lungs, etc...to nourish our body. Oxygen is more important than food, vitamin, minerals. It is why if we do not breathe for one second, we die. We will feel weak, not having enough oxygen. It is why you can not breathe fully? I am not a doctor. How do you know you do not have enough iron? There are many foods that provide your body with iron. One of them is raisins. Hope you have enough iron in your body. Get iron from food, not from supplements please.
Very wise advise....I have been on supplements that have steadily grown over the many months but now I am going to stop taking them and eat natural food.
Good info. Is the artery clogging reversable if diet and exercise are improved? Is K2 essential for improvement? Also what is the best supplement to decrease appetite? I feel hungry all the time, though I am trying some of the strategies and mixtures you are educating us on. I do feel so much better since starting EVOO, CAYENNE, HONEY AND LEMON JUICE EVERY MORNING I add a dash of cinnamon too. Within two weeks, my scalp psoriasis cleared up almost 100%, first time in many years. TY TY TY, for your information, as a nurse for the past 43 years, I still learn new info with every video.
There is a tablet called Glucomannan, I saw a comment a lady made she took it mainly to increase her fibre, and found she lost a buck load of weight, I googled it, it had a few benefits, Reduces appetite, keeps you feeling full for longer, stabilising sugar levels, decreases fat absorption. But she also said you should drink lots of water after you take the tablet. There is also Berberine, I am taking this mainly to maintain my sugar levels and I have found I have lost weight, it is a slow process, but I am on Keto but cheat every now and then😊
You are the best person! Your wisdom is so useful and helpful. You have helped my health tremendously and I thank you for this. I always take the olive oil with lemon, honey & cayenne daily. It has helped so much. I'm going to work on getting more calcium just thru foods from now on. Thank You tremendously for all of your great useful healthy tips 🥰💞👍🏻
Thank you for this video so informative Dr. Mandell I take several supplements but have never taken calcium not knowing about what the possible side affects are. God Bless you I so much appreciate all you do ❤❤
Thank you! My blood calcium tends to be low and that, together with low estrogen hormones, affects my heart with palpitations. I take D3-K2 together with calcium supplementation and just had an echo cardiogram - no calcifications!
I have osteoporosis. My Dr prescribed Fosamax plus calcium citrate. I was crippled. It was horribly painful even months after I stopped. I now do K2-m7 + D3. And I eat tons of greens, nuts,etc. I can't wait for my next bone scan. I can now exercise again.
My Mom, my spouse, and spouse's mom all had calcified aortic valves replaced. I take D3 and K2 with magnesium and eat strict ketogenic the last 8.5 years.
I know for over 2 years my son’s D level remained very low. Doctor just kept increasing the amount for him to take. This concerned me so I did my own research. I lowered the supplement but bought only a D3 with K-7 combination. Within 1 month his D levels magically increased to a normal level. The doctor asked me what had I done differently. He was surprised when I told him.
Thank you again For Mandell for your good and sensible advice delivered in a straightforward and easy way to understand. I learn every day with you when doctors don't help me.
Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom regarding calcium supplements and eating healthy foods for calcium absorption instead of supplements that are harmful.
More than once I have told Drs that Calcium supplementation is unnecessary only to be met with snide replies. Also, started to supplement with D3/K2K7 a few years ago. Doc, so appreciate your content, thank you!
Thank you excellent advice. Also important to note that calcium is always moving in and out of the bones to balance blood pH, so we want to eat more alkaline then acidic foods. Eg. Meat and dairy are considered acidic. Of course fact check what I'm saying, I'm no expert. Has also been said milk is not a great source of calcium because it causes the body to release more calcium to balance the acidity that it causes, vs broccoli which provides calcium without any deficit because it does not raise acidity. Tony Robbins does a good talk on the alkaline diet.
I agree 100 percent with you. My mom was the healthiest person I have known, She was a nurse and she ate mostly vegetarian . When they did the camera in the vein test to look at her heart the camera got stuck in a wad of calcium and it gave her a heart attack. They rushed her to another hospital that was able to remove it. Another youtube channel said that calcium didn't really help osteoporosis.
I took calcium for awhile in the 1990's but stopped after a couple years when bad things were starting to come out about it. Now I only take Vit.D3 and also magnesium. I drink an 8oz glass of 1% milk every day also.
Great video! There are many different types of calcium supplements. I take one that is whole food, plant based, that contains vitamin k2 and magnesium. Many other supplements are made from, literally, crushed rock. Read the labels and talk to your doctor.

Thank you Dr Mandel for your information, you're official, stay strong and healthy for us because no doctor don't give it to us (me) like you, but then again they are not informed like you, you're the truth, Bless you always.
If this doctor thing doesn’t work out, you might consider a ministry. You have the hypnotic preacher theater down exceptionally well. That said, your message was spot on. Thank you for this critically important and clear explanation
As a chronic migraine and cluster headaches (diagnosed) sufferer, I have not heard about any benefits of spirulina, so I did a quick search, here are two resources you may be interested in? Also, it’s my understanding that inflammation is being looked at as a cause. Have you had your overall inflammation checked? Sugar/carbs can exacerbate it, as sugar does cause inflammation. Magnesium, butterbur and feverfew is a combo I am ready to try. Best wishes. ruclips.net/video/Bj2H_kPO8KY/видео.html ruclips.net/user/shorts_7R7kxpl1yw?feature=share
Around 5 years ago and for quite a while I was getting chronic cramps in my toes/calves. Back then I was low sodium, never used salt, and didn't have any salt in the house. I tried supplementing calcium & magnesium, without any positive effect. Little did I know back then that supplementing calcium is a bad idea. Fortunately, I didn't do it for long and there was no damage. I subsequently changed to a low carb diet and because of that diet, I knew the body dumps sodium, and I started adding salt to my food. Cramps totally gone. If I don't take enough salt, the cramps return and a bit of salted water fixes that within 15 minutes. My blood pressure is great; I've never had a negative blood pressure effect from salt. If you are vegan, as I was for a while (coincidentally when my cramps were worst), bear in mind that obtaining calcium from a vegan diet can be 'difficult' even if the food contains calcium. Many plant foods with calcium have phytates and oxalates which will bind strongly with that minerals, so you do not get so much of them. Calcium, potassium, iron and magnesium. Whilst the same thing happens for sodium, most people can easily add some extra sodium to their diet if necessary.
I had a doctor appointment on the 25th. My nurse practitioner told me that lisinpriol doesn't affect the kidneys. I just read that Long term side effects Taking lisinopril for a long time can sometimes cause your kidneys to not work as well as they should. Your doctor will check how well your kidneys are working with regular blood tests.
what about calcium citrate? that's what my Dr. wants me on. n I have an anurisum near my heart. I'm 67. what should I do? I don't want to leave here faster than God wants me to leave.❤
As always Dr. Mandell getting the truth out. Educating meat and potato & fast/junk lovers; some might sink in. I'm on your team. From my experience, patient education on diet goes in one ear and out the other & they can't wait to get a 1/2 LB burger full of salt, then here comes the bacon & what might be called cheese, plus that thing what's called a bun. When I retired I let my CPR certification expire; think I'll renew it.
Everything is so true and its in the food, but has to be the right food. Plz list the bestest foods with the highest calcium. Thanks for all of this great information from Hawaii

On the premise of 'functional medicine' practice, 'MD's trained in and practice functional medicine and 'functional nurse practioners' would have no problem with the question. First, the patient's question reveals the patient's participation v..
I was just reading up on K2-MK7, Magnesium, Calcium, and D3 and now here you are on the same topic giving excellent advice (as always!) Thank you for passing on your wealth of knowledge to actually help people!! If they're smart, they'll listen!
What site or article did you read from?
New researches say k2 cause heart and prostate problems.
As a long time RN I was dismayed at all the little old ladies who were on calcium but no magnesium. When they complained about the disgusting huge pills, I was only too happy to chuck them out! I have been taking K2 with my Mg, D3, for 20 years because of Dr Mercola.
Do you take all of these supplements/vitamins at same time, at same meal?
Me too Kat! I was just thinking of how much I have learned from Dr Mercola
Do you take a supplement with all these vitamins in it.
@@zeldamic7746 no I take them separately…d3 needs to be taken with fat early in the day, Mg I take at night, K2 needs to be taken away from the D3…and so on. Multivitamins are not anything I would take…no way of knowing whether they really contain what they say. Plus they are usually full of fillers and lubricants that are hard on the stomach such as magnesium stearate.
@@Katrn30 Thankyou. I take D3 and K2 in the morning and Calcium and magnesium at night. I thought you may be taking Algeacal which has it all in one capsule and overpriced.
Taking vitamin K2 MK 7 gave me my quality of life back🎉🎉🎉 I had severe calcification in my joints that it made it very painful to do anything. Within two weeks of taking vitamin K2 MK 7 all my joints were pain free!!! It’s been 2 1/2 years ago and I am still pain-free. I’m pretty sure I also had calcification in my arteries and didn’t know it. so glad I was able to catch this early before any signs of symptoms of a heart attack or stroke,I will never stop taking this vitamin !!!
How much do you take per day? 100? 200?
Hi MB.. what dosage did you take of K2 MK7?
200 mcg daily
Thank you doctor, I don't know what we'd do without you
Yes what would we do without YT doctors?
Really true
@SOCOMJON what would you do? Continue working at and eating McDonald's got it
@@ytr3488 most likely, if the doctor didn't inform me, I most definitely would have
@@ytr3488 just by the way, why you discriminate McDonald's? I see you everyday across the street working at KFC.
Love your channel! I'm 71 yrs young & i take NO medications! I've chosen to take the holistic route regarding my health- so far, so good! Thank you for your valuable knowledge & advice!
Congrats to you! Im 65…only on blood pressure med Lisinopril. What can i do to get off those?
I can't give you medical advice BUT you might want to check out the benefits of magnesium to lower blood pressure. Also, breathing exercises help as well. Walking lowers BP too!
@@jjones4314 I understand, thank you. I have a bottle of magnesium on my kitchen counter! I guess i should start taking them regularly. Thanks again!
If you have a holistic dr in your area it might be worth your while to check it out.
@@jjones4314 i actually have an annual appt with one and he does the body scan thing.
Read the book DEATH by CALCIUM by Dr Thomas Levy MD, cardiologist written in 2013. He was the FIRST doctor, let alone cardiologist, to talk about the calcium in most tablets, causing coagulation of the blood and arteries. Worth a read and your time.....🌞
and the china study
Dr. Mandell you are a blessing to us. Thank you for helping us understand how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Thanks for what you do. GOD BLESS
Thank you Dr. Mandel I’ve had two strokes and I was using calcium supplements. Never ran across this information before but you better believe I’m gonna stop and get all of my vitamins from Foods. Thank you.
Wow!
Hello Dr. Mandell, Thank you for your great videos and sharing all this info with us. Yes, taking calcium tablets alone is dangerous. Yes, like you said the best source is from food itself along with K2. When calcium calcifies the small arteries that is a real problem. I knew someone who had calcified coronary arteries and their doctor did not even suggest vitamin K2. I am glad we have you here with us. Thank you.
Amen Dr.Mandell Tyou May God Continue to Bless you and yours
I agree, most doctors haven't a clue. My doctor never mentioned calcium or the K2, yet they want to do a quadruple bypass on me.
Good morning and thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with all of us!
Watched a similar video months ago that talked of the relationship of D3 Mg and K2-mk7. I've been taking it for several weeks now, arthritis symptoms in my knees and elbows is nearly gone. The transformation is kind of incredible, as of maybe 6 weeks ago I could not kneel on my left knee because the pain was intense. It is painless now. I recommend anyone with arthritis to try it for a couple months, the other upside is that it is likely clearing up soft tissue calcification throughout your body.
Im a female, almost 64, have severe osteoarthritis and a pacemaker, pain in my knees and hip is getting worse daily. What is it you're taking please?😲 Thanks.
What are the measurements for each vitamin you take and what vitamin supplements did you stop taking…thanks much
Good morning Dr. Mandell. What an extremely important video for me!! I did hear some negative comments regarding Calcium supplements over the years but after listening to your video just now, I gladly threw out my Calcium tablets in the garbage. God bless you for all your important information that you share with us!!! ❤🙏🏻
The only true beneficial form of calcium is MCHA, micro crystalline hydroxy appetite. In capsule form. It's the best absorbed and assimilated form for our bodies to uptake and utilize, into the bone matrix where it is so needed. The scaffolding. It helps to build osteoblasts not osteoclasts like most Rx drugs do. Jarrow formulas and NOW brand make MCHA. 🌞
Yes I threw out some calcium tabs that also contained titanium dioxide . They use that in paint to make it white and bright and I was shocked. I read labels as much as I can . I was going to phone the vitamin company .
@@Nancie6290
Do it! Please.
Consumer action is how we change things.
I'll do the same!
Good health!
Everything you are teaching us is absolutely the truth!! I almost died because of overdose of calcium supplements I had to have open heart surgery the calcium supplements in my aortic valve and also a blockage in the lower valve my family doctor I take calcium 3 times a day and within a year's time I was fortunate to find a doctor get me right into the hospital I had only a short time to live yay Arctic valve was nearly blocked completely and I hope and pray people will listen to this video as you say eating healthy foods is the best way to stay healthy that all supplements are the same I wish I knew all this before all this happened to me thank you for this video and God bless you
Thank You 💚💚💚💚ALL Divine Doors Will Open 💚💚💚💚🦅🦅🦅🦅I AM In Deep Gratitude For ALL I Have Received...
I truly thank God for the CLASS OF SOCIAL MEDIA TEACHINGS from Doctor Mandel, and other Great Doctors that care about our health! 😊
Well-informed video, Dr. Mandell. Natural green foods are the route to good health.
I have osteo. I do not take vit d or call or whey protein. I gingerly exercise to avoid any stress fractures. Thank you. Great video. Thank you for your unselfish time to help educate us on so many issues re: our bodies. I appreciate it and you as well. I document every video that pertains to me, my family, and my friends. God bless you and yours. ❤
Learn about Vit K2 and D3.
Lauren Stone How do you get the right amt of vit D u need when it is not sufficient enuff in our foods/drinks?
Spinach is a dangerous food. British food scientist recently found cancer causing Carcinogen in leafy green vegetables like lettice, Kale and Collard greens.
@@KLoiswinning this info is over 5 years old...Why is This Man barely talking about K2 and D3 Now? ? ?
I heard a couple on RUclips totally against vit D supplements 🤷♀️ I live south of Atlanta and have a Vit D app on my phone. It's very good at calculating skin tone, location, and how much skin is exposed. I'm afraid of anything man made anymore. Vitamins aren't regulated
Thank you, doctor. This information on potential calcification is very helpful. I will definitely continue my green smoothie regimen. Have a Blessed day. ❤
May I ask if you could share your recipe
Thanks very much Dr Mandell. I never realised calcium supplements are a problem. Will now stop taking them. 🙏
All my female cousins drinking milk and taking calcium pills have osteoporosis. I told them to stop drinking milk and eat more vegetables, but they are hooked on milk. Thank you, doc. I will send this video to them
Milk is great
They can get vitamin K2 mk7 as a supplement.
Most vegetables don’t want you to eat them.. hence, Oxylates ( spinach, beets, chard, almonds all forms). Lectins..beans, seeds , .brown rice, arsenic..good luck
@@lesliejacobs3002 yes, and kale is also high in oxalates...I just found out not too long ago. It's crazy.
@@lesliejacobs3002 mOST ANIMALS TOO DONOT WANT YOU TO EAT THEM
Stars in your crown for all you do for humanity. Thank you for teaching us how miraculous God’s creation of us really is!
Thank you Dr. Mandell for your priceless information to keep us healthy. So grateful.
As I mentioned earlier, your every clip short or long, for me you are a great mentor for me you are great Dr. Mandel
I eat a lot of spinach, tofu, soy milk, but thought I needed that calcium supplement just to make sure I was getting enough. I wasn't aware that the supplements could clog my arteries. Thank you for your expert advice.
Omg, I have been taking calcium supplements and will stop immediately!
Dr. I recently started taking calcium supplements but after seeing this I won't continue. Thanks Dr. You are a life saver.
Thank you for sharing. My interest lies in bone health and I’ve been using calcium rich foods over supplements. I feel confident I’m on the right path. My goal is to maintain the calcium I have left.
His videos are always.. always excellent !
Always brilliantly exemplified and clarified.
Thank you.
Amen! I fully believe with you in never supplementing with calcium. I learned this decades ago. That and iron supplementation as well.
What did u learn about iron supplementation?
@@juliemcdaniel499 too much iron in blood cause heart problems.
@Thu Le so does not enough iron...I could barely breathe
@@victorian4968 are you anemic? We need iron to bring oxygen to the cells, brain cells, heart, lungs, etc...to nourish our body. Oxygen is more important than food, vitamin, minerals. It is why if we do not breathe for one second, we die.
We will feel weak, not having enough oxygen. It is why you can not breathe fully?
I am not a doctor. How do you know you do not have enough iron? There are many foods that provide your body with iron. One of them is raisins.
Hope you have enough iron in your body. Get iron from food, not from supplements please.
Excellent video! Thank you, Dr. Manell for citing the research and for the thorough-going nature of every video you prepare for us.
Very wise advise....I have been on supplements that have steadily grown over the many months but now I am going to stop taking them and eat natural food.
Thank you Dr Mandell for reminding us to take natural food instead of Vits.you’re the best and more power.God bless too
Good info. Is the artery clogging reversable if diet and exercise are improved? Is K2 essential for improvement? Also what is the best supplement to decrease appetite? I feel hungry all the time, though I am trying some of the strategies and mixtures you are educating us on. I do feel so much better since starting EVOO, CAYENNE, HONEY AND LEMON JUICE EVERY MORNING I add a dash of cinnamon too. Within two weeks, my scalp psoriasis cleared up almost 100%, first time in many years. TY TY TY, for your information, as a nurse for the past 43 years, I still learn new info with every video.
yo
There is a tablet called Glucomannan, I saw a comment a lady made she took it mainly to increase her fibre, and found she lost a buck load of weight, I googled it, it had a few benefits,
Reduces appetite, keeps you feeling full for longer, stabilising sugar levels, decreases fat absorption. But she also said you should drink lots of water after you take the tablet. There is also Berberine, I am taking this mainly to maintain my sugar levels and I have found I have lost weight, it is a slow process, but I am on Keto but cheat every now and then😊
@ durinda au what do you eat daily?
Also try Apple Cider Vinegar to decrease appetite - raw, unfiltered and with the mother in.
Apple cider vinegar has proven effects! Try watching his video on it.
Thanks for doing a video on this! I tell people all the time to ditch their calcium tablets!
I supplement Vitamin D, B12 and apple cider vinegar for gerd. I never knew this about calcium supplements. Thank you for the warning!
You are the best person! Your wisdom is so useful and helpful. You have helped my health tremendously and I thank you for this. I always take the olive oil with lemon, honey & cayenne daily. It has helped so much. I'm going to work on getting more calcium just thru foods from now on. Thank You tremendously for all of your great useful healthy tips 🥰💞👍🏻
Desert Life Cooks.. Hello.. just wondering what you use the lemon, honey and cayenne for please and what quantities... here's to good health!
@Desert Life Cooks……Organic Olive Oil has many properties, Honey, Lemon and Cayenne….all good for Cardiovascular Health ❤💪🏻❤️
Thank you for this video so informative Dr. Mandell I take several supplements but have never taken calcium not knowing about what the possible side affects are. God Bless you I so much appreciate all you do ❤❤
Thank you!
My blood calcium tends to be low and that, together with low estrogen hormones, affects my heart with palpitations.
I take D3-K2 together with calcium supplementation and just had an echo cardiogram - no calcifications!
I have osteoporosis. My Dr prescribed Fosamax plus calcium citrate. I was crippled. It was horribly painful even months after I stopped. I now do K2-m7 + D3. And I eat tons of greens, nuts,etc. I can't wait for my next bone scan. I can now exercise again.
How are you doing now?
My Mom, my spouse, and spouse's mom all had calcified aortic valves replaced. I take D3 and K2 with magnesium and eat strict ketogenic the last 8.5 years.
You bless us, Dr. Mandell. Thank you and many blessings back 😀
I know for over 2 years my son’s D level remained very low. Doctor just kept increasing the amount for him to take. This concerned me so I did my own research. I lowered the supplement but bought only a D3 with K-7 combination. Within 1 month his D levels magically increased to a normal level. The doctor asked me what had I done differently. He was surprised when I told him.
Thank you for spreading the truth, you're a great asset to humanity!
Dr. Mandell, thank you for all your informative videos. I've learned and enjoyed them very much. ❤
Thank you again For Mandell for your good and sensible advice delivered in a straightforward and easy way to understand. I learn every day with you when doctors don't help me.
Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom regarding calcium supplements and eating healthy foods for calcium absorption instead of supplements that are harmful.
And Thank You for helping my day being Greater Dr. Mandela! Many Blessings! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Thank you so much for this. I find this extremely important. Thank you for helping so many people
Dr. Mandel truly love you you’re a lifesaver for all of us out here you’re on my top list my doctor too🥰🙏💕🌅🦋
Thank you and great video! 👍
I've always told people to not supplement with calcium and eat more greens, especially Broccoli, etc.
Zero vitamin K2 in greens! Animal source foods?
Why did u tell ppl that, just curious?
Thank you Dr Mandel. You are sent from God to help His people! Thank you again and again!❤
Thank you, doctor for your great (as usual) information.
Bountiful beautiful blessings for All your knowledge & Especially for Sharing Freely 👆🙏🎉🥰
More than once I have told Drs that Calcium supplementation is unnecessary only to be met with snide replies. Also, started to supplement with D3/K2K7 a few years ago. Doc, so appreciate your content, thank you!
Thanks, doc. I receive it in Jesus name. I'm activating this now.😊❤
Thank you excellent advice. Also important to note that calcium is always moving in and out of the bones to balance blood pH, so we want to eat more alkaline then acidic foods. Eg. Meat and dairy are considered acidic. Of course fact check what I'm saying, I'm no expert. Has also been said milk is not a great source of calcium because it causes the body to release more calcium to balance the acidity that it causes, vs broccoli which provides calcium without any deficit because it does not raise acidity. Tony Robbins does a good talk on the alkaline diet.
Thanks a lot Dr. Mandell, I've learned so much knowledge and being wise about health.
The only two I follow on RUclips, Dr. Mandel & Barbara O’Neill ❤
Love all that you videos, fabulous information! I also tend to like the quotes you share. Thanks so much for all you do! Have a great day 😊
I agree 100 percent with you. My mom was the healthiest person I have known, She was a nurse and she ate mostly vegetarian . When they did the camera in the vein test to look at her heart the camera got stuck in a wad of calcium and it gave her a heart attack. They rushed her to another hospital that was able to remove it. Another youtube channel said that calcium didn't really help osteoporosis.
I took calcium for awhile in the 1990's but stopped after a couple years when bad things were starting to come out about it. Now I only take Vit.D3 and also magnesium. I drink an 8oz glass of 1% milk every day also.
Thanks a million Dr. Mandell for educating us through your knowledge, God bless you & your family 🔥🙌🙏
You are a blessing Dr Mandell. Thank you 🙏
Dr Mandell you are a huge blessing to so many! How do we know when we are getting enough calcium through diet?
Thank you Dr.Mandell once again you give free education and good insturction , you are the BEST !!
Great video! There are many different types of calcium supplements. I take one that is whole food, plant based, that contains vitamin k2 and magnesium. Many other supplements are made from, literally, crushed rock. Read the labels and talk to your doctor.
Could you please share the brand if you don’t mind thanka
@@kamalraj6487 Hi there I personally use Standard Process organic whole food vitamins/supplements and Biotics Research both are excellent vitamins/supplements recommended by my functional medicine Drs
My preferred brand is Garden of Life. New Chapter is also good. Both brands were recommended by my doctor, dentist and acupuncturist.
Thank you Dr Mandel for your information, you're official, stay strong and healthy for us because no doctor don't give it to us (me) like you, but then again they are not informed like you, you're the truth, Bless you always.
If this doctor thing doesn’t work out, you might consider a ministry. You have the hypnotic preacher theater down exceptionally well.
That said, your message was spot on.
Thank you for this critically important and clear explanation
Love you sir you’re the best God bless you for your human services ❤
He is now my favorite source of information. am here in the Philippines.. and old woman age 86 ..
Respect To You Doctor Mandell God Bless You!!!
Nothing like good education. Great doctor
Sir please make a video about migraine with aura.....and please tell about supplement spirulina....
As a chronic migraine and cluster headaches (diagnosed) sufferer, I have not heard about any benefits of spirulina, so I did a quick search, here are two resources you may be interested in?
Also, it’s my understanding that inflammation is being looked at as a cause. Have you had your overall inflammation checked? Sugar/carbs can exacerbate it, as sugar does cause inflammation.
Magnesium, butterbur and feverfew is a combo I am ready to try.
Best wishes.

Look up Dr.Stokes here on RUclips I just learned of Valerian root complex for migraines! He is Awesome 😊
Dr Mandell needs to start a refresher course for physicians.
Around 5 years ago and for quite a while I was getting chronic cramps in my toes/calves. Back then I was low sodium, never used salt, and didn't have any salt in the house.
I tried supplementing calcium & magnesium, without any positive effect. Little did I know back then that supplementing calcium is a bad idea. Fortunately, I didn't do it for long and there was no damage.
I subsequently changed to a low carb diet and because of that diet, I knew the body dumps sodium, and I started adding salt to my food. Cramps totally gone. If I don't take enough salt, the cramps return and a bit of salted water fixes that within 15 minutes. My blood pressure is great; I've never had a negative blood pressure effect from salt.
If you are vegan, as I was for a while (coincidentally when my cramps were worst), bear in mind that obtaining calcium from a vegan diet can be 'difficult' even if the food contains calcium. Many plant foods with calcium have phytates and oxalates which will bind strongly with that minerals, so you do not get so much of them. Calcium, potassium, iron and magnesium. Whilst the same thing happens for sodium, most people can easily add some extra sodium to their diet if necessary.
Have you had your Thyroid checked,? such a little gland but so important
Thank you Dr. M. as always your videos are so informative on subjects that we really need to know to keep our bodies healthy. God bless you.🙏🏼❤️
It varies exactly on your change from hearing your prognosis and situating MIND OVER MATTER for safe alternatives
I had a doctor appointment on the 25th. My nurse practitioner told me that lisinpriol doesn't affect the kidneys. I just read that Long term side effects
Taking lisinopril for a long time can sometimes cause your kidneys to not work as well as they should. Your doctor will check how well your kidneys are working with regular blood tests.
I think it depletes the body of magnesium
I'm on losartan...but wonder the long term, was on that. My event started in 2013, want off their meds...
Good evening Sir how do you do?
Thanks so much for useful video Doctor Mandell😊
I'm a 73-year-old male and have just found out about K2. I hope I do get some of the benefits you talk about. Have a great day
Once again, my brain is stimulated with information I've never heard. Thank you, Dr. Mandell! You're a blessing! ❤

what about calcium citrate? that's what my Dr. wants me on. n I have an anurisum near my heart. I'm 67. what should I do? I don't want to leave here faster than God wants me to leave.❤
I love your advice on every aspect of daily living because I learn something new every time.
Thank you, Dr. Mandell for your most amazing motivational videos.
Great info I didn't known. Thanks for the heads-up.
Thank u Dr .Mandel for this important information on Vitamins.
As always Dr. Mandell getting the truth out. Educating meat and potato & fast/junk lovers; some might sink in. I'm on your team. From my experience, patient education on diet goes in one ear and out the other & they can't wait to get a 1/2 LB burger full of salt, then here comes the bacon & what might be called cheese, plus that thing what's called a bun. When I retired I let my CPR certification expire; think I'll renew it.
Doc,Please speak of thyroid nodules and and studies and natural ways to help.Thank you.❤ i take d3 & k2
Everything is so true and its in the food, but has to be the right food. Plz list the bestest foods with the highest calcium. Thanks for all of this great information from Hawaii
