The #1 Overlooked Cause of Artery Calcification

now I’ve done quite a few videos on the heart I’ve talked about coronary artery classification vascular calcification but there’s one additional cause that I recently found through reading a book which I’m going to put a link down below which I think is pretty common and I haven’t made the link yet and I think you should know about it especially if you want to prevent calcification of your arteries and this additional cause is called lactic acidosis now when I mentioned lactic acidosis or maybe lactic acid you might associate that with um kind of a burning you feel after you exercise in your muscles right you might think of that but lactic acidosis goes way beyond that lactic acidosis occurs as a byproduct of glucose metabolism and both lactic acidosis and lactate in your blood are associated with a lot of additional problems okay like sudden death from heart attack thrombosis which means you’re clotting in your arteries panic attacks autonomic nervous system dysfunction which could include a lot of other problems even like in bipolar schizophrenia sepsis which is a systemic infection certain arrhythmia problems like ventricular fibulation and liver disease and definitely diabetes and even cancer and restless leg syndrome but my primary focus today is to show you this connection between lactic acidosis and hypoxia in your arteries okay hypoxia that’s a lack of oxygen and then the next consequence of that is a calcification so vascular calcification can definitely come from this hypoxia which is caused by this acid situation in your blood called lactic acidosis and so calcification in the arteries is not just from old age it’s not just from you know consuming too much dietary calcium or even just a lack of vitamin K2 now there’s two primary common reasons why someone might develop some version of lactic acidosis one is they’re just on too many carbohydrates too much sugar in the diet can then cause this abundance of lactate and that can develop into lactic acid so anything that can increase the metabolism of glucose is called glycolysis like consuming too much sugar can create this problem the other common link that was discussed in this book which you just need to be aware of is an overactive sympathetic dominant situation you’re too much in the flutter fight and basically we’re talking about chronic stress chronic stress is very similar to constantly eating chronic large doses of sugar because stress puts you into this flight of fight mode and you’re just basically using sugar okay as your fuel source both from adrenaline as well as cortisol cortisol is a hormone adrenaline is a neurotransmitter but another name for cortisol is a glucocorticoid because it it uses glucose right but adrenaline also will activate and release a lot of sugar and this can very easily develop this lactic acidosis situation metformin causes as well metformin has a warning sign on the label uh it can cause lactic acidosis why because one of the big problems or side effects from metformin is lactic acidosis now even Warfarin a very common drug to block vitamin K1 to help thin your blood so you don’t develop clotting has a side effect of vascular calcification because it can produce lactic acidosis also statin drugs which help block cholesterol also have a side effect of this calcification problem as well and lactic acidosis also drinking too much alcohol will do it and even if you over train if you exercise too much you can develop a lot of lactic acid I wouldn’t say that you’re going to develop calcium deposits from that but it can definitely put you in a state of lactic acidosis and when you have lactic acidosis the pH of your blood starts going down that means it’s becoming acidic and probably the first symptom you’re going to notice is breathing problems it’s going to be hard to breathe hard to get oxygen because you need a certain pH for that you’re going to feel very restless especially in the leg muscles but there is an effective remedy for lactic acidosis that you need to know about if you have enough B1 thymine chances are you probably won’t even develop lactic acid in the first place so of course the deeper remedy of lactic acidosis is to find out what’s causing it are you consuming too many carbs are you eating too much sugar well then go on keto are you going through stress are you in this chronic flutter fight mode well there’s a lot of things you can do to lower that but B1 can vary effectively pull you out of this lactic acidosis and also it will counter the complications from consuming high amounts of carbohydrates as well as the complications from diabetes as well as the side effects from being under this chronic state of sympathetic dominance or stress B1 is the best vitamin for stress in fact I’ve talked about this before when you take B1 it really helps nervous agitation this buildup of energy this restlessness so B1 will help with that because you’re actually curbing or reducing this these effects of lactic acidosis you’re going to even breathe better when you take Natural B1 so B1 is really good to pull someone out of anxiety and the symptoms or side effects from lactic acidosis so B1 can actually also help you with hypoxia which is a lack of oxygen in your in your vascular system it can help balance out the pH B1 has also been known to directly help inhibit thrombosis or clotting so it’s really really good for the heart and of course B1 is also good to inhibit this calcification buildup in the arteries and we all know that consuming too much alcohol will really deplete your B1 and so that’s another common cause of why someone would end up with a B1 deficiency you know I live in a farm and we have cattle and when we first bought this cattle we you know we were asking Farmers around what do we need for cattle do we need to supplement their diet with vitamins whatever and many of the farmers around our area said you you should also buy large amounts of baking soda and I’m like why do you need baking soda oh well because they can develop lactic acidosis so if you look up why a cow would develop lactic acidosis you will find it’s the side effect from consuming too many grains okay too many refined carbohydrates a cow is meant to consume grass in plants and weeds not grains and if a cow has lactic acidosis they can become very depressed and active not be around the rest of the cows they can get diarrhea they can get dehydration and they can die and unfortunately some of these Farmers just go ahead and treat these cows with baking soda or some type of alkalizing agent okay instead of really looking at the underlying mechanism a cow’s stomach is not designed to be actually that acidic like our stomachs it’s designed to be slightly alkaline in its fermentation of grass so this is just another example of how grains and sugar and refined carbs are not meant to be in our diet and number three make sure you have enough B1 natural B1 not the synthetic thymine but natural B1 in your diet if you potentially could have this issue now I think the next most important video for you to watch would be to learn all the underlying causes of a B1 deficiency so that way you you understand the whole picture and I put that video up right here check it out
