In fact it is one of the most common causes of premature aging along with other metabolic problems in the body. So in this video, I want to explain its causes, how to check if you yourself suffer from tissue calcification and finally how to get all that calcium out of your tissue and into the bones where it’s supposed to be. Ok, to start off, let’s first talk about what tissue calcification actually is. Basically, calcification is a buildup of calcium in body tissue. As you know, calcium is supposed to be mainly in the bones and teeth with small amounts also present in the muscle and other cells. However, over times calcium can also form hardened deposits in soft tissues, arteries, and other areas where it is not supposed to be. Some calcifications don’t cause painful symptoms, while others can lead to severe complications, especially in the arteries that deliver oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the tissues of the body. This will cause them to stiffen and increases your risk of cardiovascular disease. Studies have shown that almost 90% of men and 67% of women older than age 70 have signs of significant calcium deposits in their arteries. While these official figures might make it seem like this is an old people’s problem, my own experience and that of many partitioners who specialize in this field, says otherwise. I would go so far as to say most people have some form of tissue calcification. But because the problem is so difficult to diagnose it often goes unnoticed for many years while their bodies accumulate more and more calcium in the wrong places. Unfortunately, over time the excess calcium wont be your only problem. As more and more calcium precipitates into the tissue and is lost in places where you need it, you will most likely also develop a calcium deficiency as well. This phenomenon is called biounavailable calcium and it basically means you have too much calcium built up in the body but most of it cannot be used properly, so you have symptoms of both excess unavailable calcium in the tissue as well as a deficiency of available calcium. In an earlier video, I used the analogy of a thirsty sailor stranded at see. He has unlimited water around him but cannot use it because it is not in the right form and therefore toxic. Understanding biounavailable calcium is really the key to reversing tissue calcification. Most people and even most practitioners still think that you can either have a calcium deficiency or a calcium excess. Both are treated fairly simple as I explain in my video on how to take calcium. However, in my experience the real problem is this biounavailable calcium, where you have both at the same time. So, the million dollar question is how do you treat biounavailable calcium? How do you make it available again? For this we need to look at the root causes of tissue calcification / biounavailable calcium. Both are really one and the same in most cases. To explain what causes calcium build up, you need to understand what a healthy body does when you consume calcium. The following explanation will be a little technical but I will summarize the most important insights later on, don’t worry. Let’s assume you eat a dairy product such as cheese, which we all know is fairly high in calcium. Basically, what should happen next is that the hydrochloric acid in your stomach breaks down the cheese and also dissolves the calcium. Later this dissolved calcium is absorbed through the lining of the small intestine into the bloodstream, where it can be carried into the bones, teeth or wherever the body needs it. Now, for each of these steps, so digestion, absorption and transport, the body needs several key nutrients to function properly. Let’s go over them one by one: Calcium Digestion: Healthy hydrochloric acid production = important nutrients: zinc, b vitamins (especially b6) Calcium Absorption: Absorbed through the lining of the small intestine (done with the help of intestinal vitamin D receptor) = important nutrients: natural vitamin D (please limit / avoid supplements) Calcium transport & utilization: It needs to be bound to carrier proteins and kept in solution important nutrients: sufficent protein intake, strong adrenal glands, magnesium, vitamin k2 Other cofactors: Vitamin A, Copper & Boron
