Assuming they find calcified plaques, then what? Can they be reversed once they're calcified?

• copperx 7y ago
  No, as far as I know. But you can't improve what you can't measure.
• throwawaymanbot 7y ago
  No they cant. But detection is paramount. CT Scans are costly and time consuming.

  Yes, some people keep magnesium, K2 MK-7, K2 MK-4 and D3 in their system to slowly break it down. This is done primarily to reverse the calcification in and around the heart to get a lower CAC score. Ideal score is 0.

    is there any proof "magnesium, K2 MK-7, K2 MK-4 and D3" works for this?
  • bigmit37 7y ago
    Does this really work? First time I am hearing of this(would be estatic if it did).
    • LinuxBender 7y ago
      Yes, there are hundreds of write-ups / studies on nih.gov that explain the process and results. [1] Just one example [2] [1] - https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=&bih=&q=site%3Anih.gov+reverse+calcification+d3+k2+mk-7&btnG=Google+Search&iflsig=AAP1E1EAAAAAXfAHozqAB4LJbzLM9TY_Dtxy7f07XtZK&gbv=1 https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=&bih=&q=si...

        Your second citation is an ongoing trial, it doesn’t have results. Not to say it’s wrong, just that you might want to pick a better example that shows it works.

          I just linked the first one that comes up in search results. There are literally hundreds of studies on this. I personally know doctors that have lowered blood pressure in their patients using this method. I am also reversing my CAC score, albeit very slowly, but it's better than going up. A more taboo topic is heart surgeons arguing about the usage of Serrapeptase and Nattokinase to remove scar tissue in the vascular system prior to heart surgery. None of them can agree on whether or not removing the scar tissue makes the surgery safer or more dangerous.

            Sure, I am just very skeptical of a lot medical research involving vitamins and your first link didn't work on my mobile and the second wasn't results, so I was hoping to see some legitimate studies. I have firsthand seen several major shifts in vitamins and nutrition in medicine. For example, vitamin D was heavily promoted in the early 2000s for a lot of indications that appeared back by research that in the end was fraud (see https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/08/researcher-center-epic-fraud-remains-enigma-those-who-exposed-him https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/08/researcher-center-ep...). Vitamin C also was heavily promoted by Linus Pauling but ended up being flat, although now we are seeing a resurgence in the belief that it plus thiamine and steroids can help with septic shock (look up https://journal.chestnet.org/article/S0012-3692(16)62564-3/fulltext https://journal.chestnet.org/article/S0012-3692(16)62564-3/f...). This is being heavily debated right now. I looked at three papers in the first link but none showed actual results, just hypothetical improvements. I'm happy it appears to be helping you CAC, how often are you getting CACs?
