Why you must stop taking calcium supplements now

If you take extra calcium supplements, it’s time to stop.

For years, medical professionals have told women to take up to 1,500 mg of calcium every day. But I’ve said that not only is this not necessary, it’s downright dangerous.

It’s not necessary because your body regulates calcium absorption from your diet so tightly that you’re sure to get all the calcium you need from your diet alone. 

Improve heart failure by at 
least 22% in just three months


One of the biggest challenges to conventional cardiology is heart failure. It’s a growing epidemic in the U.S. And conventional medicine has little to offer. But I’m seeing some patients improve significantly. I’ll tell you how in a moment. First, you have to understand how heart failure works.


By definition, your heart is failing to pump sufficient blood for the needs of your body. Of course there are grades of dysfunction. A key measure of heart function is how much blood your left ventricle pumps out in one stroke. That’s called the “ejection fraction.”

Heart and brain nutrient also protects your hearing

Patients and readers often ask me what they can do for ear-related diseases of age. These include Menierre’s disease, as well as hearing loss and balance. It’s a tough problem. But there are a few things you can consider.

 My colleague Jonathan Wright has written up the hormone aldosterone as a potential treatment. It’s a highly active hormone that requires a prescription and monitoring. But if it works, it’s sure worth it. I’ll have more on this hormone in the future. But today, I wanted to tell you about a study on a very popular supplement that has promise to help your hearing loss. It’s our great friend CoQ10.
