When you do research on calcium deposits in your body, you're going to see this word that

0:05.2

comes up over and over and over. And that word is idiopathic. What does that word mean?

0:10.6

It means unknown cause. There's a lot of unknowns about calcium deposits in your body.

0:15.8

But today we're going to talk about what we do know and potential solutions to that. And I'm

0:20.4

talking about bone spurs, kidney stones, osteophytes, which are just like calcium projections from

0:28.0

your joints, tartar in the teeth, calcium in the arteries, calcium that builds up in the brain,

0:33.4

or the breast tissue, or your skin, or even on the eyes or on the nerves. What can be behind

0:39.7

all this calcification on your tissues? If you had an injury, okay, or an infection, or some type

0:46.8

of surgery or trauma, chances are you may have scar tissue, chances are you have inflammation

0:51.9

in that area that can develop calcium deposits in a joint from an old injury. A couple things that

0:56.8

you should know, you need to keep the joint in motion. The more that you immobilize that joint,

1:03.0

the more the calcium is going to start to fuse it. So motion is the answer to the buildup of calcium

1:09.6

in your joints. Also, there's other things you could do, like things that will reduce inflammation,

1:15.3

vitamin D, as well as omega-3 fatty acids. Now, the next factor that relates to calcium building up

1:22.8

on your tissues is the pH. So normally, your blood should be slightly alkaline. If the pH goes too

1:30.4

high and becomes too alkaline, then you're going to have what's called alkalosis, and that's what I

1:35.8

want to touch on. Calcium tends to come out of a solution in an alkaline environment. Very similar

1:43.5

to the spicot you have in your backyard. You may see calcium deposits on their receptacle

1:47.9

if the pH of your water is too alkaline. If your cortisol is too high from years of chronic stress

1:55.6

or you've eaten a lot of sugar in your life, those two things can bring you into a state of

2:01.2

alkalosis. And what might happen after that is you might start developing calcium on the nerve

2:06.5

tissue first, okay? And that can show up in tetany twitching, like sometimes you have this little
