I got calcium score scan more than 10 years ago, it was 126. I have family history of heart disease, I had high blood pressure at 32 years old. At that time I was not that old, I didn’t really care about this number, and didn’t not understand how bad it was. As time passed by, my cholesterol level increased and blood sugar increased, doctors kept pushing me to get start medication for cholesterol, and I refused. Two years ago my cardiologist prescribed medicine for me, since in the part of the world I am living in right now all medical care is 100% free, I get the medication every time I go to my clinic pharmacy 😂 it doesn’t matter I take them or not. After a year, my cardiologist called me to follow up, I told him I had not taken the medication at all, he then ordered the calcium score and soft plug scan for me, and said that he wanted to convince me to take the medication by my scan results . The results came out surprised me, the calcium score was 3.9! And no soft plug at all. My doctor called me again, and his first sentence was “you win”, second sentence was “but you still have to take the medication down the road, I will give you 6 months, we will discuss this again”😂😂😂 I had been taken K2 and D3 for about a year and Berberine for about three months before the scans, I did a lot of three days water fasting and eating two meals a day, no refined carbs, no added sugar at all. Don’t know what worked, but the result is good, I will keep doing what i am doing, my next blood test is next week, I don’t know what is going to happen.

Boron is a mineral and a hormone that removes calcium out of soft tissue in the form of stones and taking some chanca piedra nicnamed stonebreaker can reduce the discomfort . I also use D-3 with K-2 and magnesium and horsetail with other minerals and Himalayan salt with a good amount of water. I leave my water out for an hour as chlorine dissipates.

I have eaten Natto for a few years, it does taste awful, but I have found a workable solution: I take a package out of the freezer, immediately take out the Natto and eat it frozen. This really minimizes the taste, 4 bites washed down with juice or water is all it takes. Not bad at all.

I was excited to see you talk about K2 and D3. My question is about taking L-lisine I'm trying to make sure taking combinations of vitamins is ok.

I eat it everyday. I actually crave it now. Try it with a spritz of liquid aminos, some dijon mustard, minced garlic, some wasabi, a drizzle of olive oil, chopped green onions on top. I don’t mix it, just layer it over the natto. Its really good. Oh, and its not just vitamin K, but vitamin K2 that you want, very important. I have a personal angiogram report of my artery going from 50% occlusion to 30% occlusion in about 6 months. It’s really good for your gut health too. You cant beat it.

So I assume you are referring to hard plaque? What happens to soft plaque with k2 m7?

Was just in Japan a few months ago on business. Yes natto is popular in Japan but not every Japanese person eats it. It seems to be something mothers make at home, children grow up occasionally eating it. Most Japanese eat it; some hate it. Many foods the Japanese eat are soybean based. Along with matcha green tea and soaking in hot water (onsen) , these are the things the Japanese believe in. They have very good health and very good life expectancy.

You have a start. But for me it's a little short changed. I would suggest Dr. Kate Rheaume-Bleue book "K2 and the Calcium Paradox " her latest recommendation is 100mcg of K2-MK7 per 1000i.u of D3. You can take more K2-MK7 as it's not toxic. Also check your D3 level and adjust from there. Mine is 60ng/dl and I take 2400mcg of K2-MK7 with 5000i.u of D3 summer and 10,000i.u winter. If you really want to work on osteoporosis I would take both K2-MK7 and K2-MK4. Dr. Kate recommends 45,000mcg of K2-MK4 per day. It has a short half life but it is different than K2-MK7 in that it strengthens bones internally better than K2-MK7. My wife has osteoporosis and her bone density has improved dramatically. Since I'm 68 I have decided to as well. What people and most doctors don't realize is that once you have a Calcium Score you litterially have a focal vitamin C deficiency. I got on the Linus Pauling Heart Protocol and have reversed my CAC Score by 30% after 30 months! Imagine that! When we are told routinely it's not reversible.

A friend of mine has ordered the MK7-K2& D3 for me, I’m also taking magnesium and zinc & mega B. and zinc

I will continue taking natto capsules. It for sure thins the blood some. All I really know is that taking natto, beet root and citrulene have greatly improved my condition of having a weaker than normal heart.

Any studies or anecdotes from people that ate natto for 6 months, a year or any time frame and their calcium score actually going down? I see a lot of people that eat natto or supplements commenting but none that actually say they’ve reduced their calcium score.

Great info , should yiu take Vit d separate from vit k? Or can you use a combo capsule?

Does k2- mk7 thin the blood? I asked my cardiologist about it and he didn't know about it and could not recommend it. I'm taking k-2, on my own, but I take it every other day.

Try eating natto mixed with something else. There are all kinds of combos where it will seem just like an added teaspoon of hotdog-and-beans. Question: will cooking natto destroy the K2? If not, then there are even more ways to fix the ick problem.

I've heard that you actually need to take upwards of 300mcg for this to be effective (vs 90 in your supplement), any ideas or will this be sufficient? Thanks!

Most people aren't actually taking enough or the correct dosing. The problem with dosing is that D3 allows the body to absorb 20x more calcium than if you weren't supplementing with D3. So what can happen is K2-MK7 can be overrun with calcium, leaving calcium to be deposited where it doesn't belong, like arteries setting yourself up for a heart attack. So, according to Dr Kate Rheaume-Bleue, author of "K2 and the Calcium Paradox" her latest dosing recommendation is 100mcg of K2-MK7 per 1000i.u of D3. If not supplementing with D3 then 1-200mcg is fine. K2-MK7 is not toxic, so more of it can be taken. Myself I take 2400mcg of K2-MK7 with 5000i.u of D3 summer and 10,000i.u winter. I am also on the Linus Pauling Heart Protocol. It's high dose vitamin C capable of disolving calcium in high doses. With Lysine and Proline. My vitamin C intake is 30 grams of ascorbic acid powder in divided doses per day. It's reduced my CAC by 30% or 200 points.

How much natto supplement powder should someone take if they are not on any other meds at all only multivitamins

Thanks for ur video. Can u share some info on calcium test results before and after taking the K2?

I LOVE NATTO. GET IT AT A JAPANESE market in Torrance. and i like the kim- chee I make as well. I have now survived 7 years since heart attack and stint at 63.Doing ok. The fear screwed my arteries and Bp up. First at age 45, when I was accused of 30 crimes by a co- worker and spent 3 years in court. Second time was with a neighbor who started assaulting me all the time when I was 62 and soon started a big bogus law suit . That gave me the heart attack the next year. now i am avoiding trouble and taking good care in retirement. Avoid the legal system at all costs, this is my takeaway!

You’re probably not taking enough vitamin D3. To fight my prostate cancer I needed to, get my vitamin D level up from 30ng/mL to at least 100ng/mL. So I megadosed 100,000 IU of D3 for two weeks, and it worked! my D3 level was 124ng/mL. Over the next year I took 50,000 IU of D3 a day and my blood serum level went to 235ng/mL(FYI: Vitamin D3 toxicity is a myth). I cut back to just 10,000 IU of D3 for the next four months and my blood serum level dropped to just 97ng/mL . Since I still had one tumor, I needed to keep my D3 level up above 100ng/mL, so I took my dosing back up to 40,000 IU a day. After more than six months, my latest blood test showed my D3 level was just 135. What all of this means is, my body is using the massive amount of vitamin D3 I am taking. I took 6000 IU of vitamin D3 for 12 years and my D3 level never rose above 30ng/mL! That meant, although my doctor didn’t recognize it, that I needed a hell of a lot more than 6000 IU of vitamin D3 a day! D3 is an amazing hormone that we have only just begun to study. Take as much as you need to keep your monster level at at least 100ng/mL. Or not. What do I know? I’m just a prostate cancer survivor.

The only problem is that, as you say, we've only started to study D3. Blood levels give a view of absorption combined with usage and they don't actually show how efficiently you are using D3 and for which purposes. Absorption and usage efficiency are effected by your genetics and possibly other things going on in your body.

Very true!

how about drinking a glass of warm water with a tablespoon of ACV with a tablespoon of lemon juice added daily first thing in the morning? Would that help with keeping out calcium in the arteries?

I've been eating natto for 38 years, since I started living in Japan. If you want to eat it like the natives you have to tone it down with other foods together. Commonly its eaten by mixing in diced long green onion, raw egg and a dash of soy sauce. Then it's whipped frothy and poured on hot fresh rice. It's very tasty once you get past your cultural inhibition to eating raw egg and the pungent smell of fermented soy bean.

Does this brand have any magnesium sterate and I thought coconut oil is bad for you . Thank you for this great information

You're exactly right with vitamin k2, but you're missing out on another key factor which is D3. K2 removes calcium from arteries and d3 helps put calcium where it should go. I had a widow maker heart attack at 35 and have done a ton of research since

I have that too. My cardiologist told me he wasn’t worried about the calcification in the vein as it was holding back the soft hot plaque. He was more concerned with the other soft plaque without the calcification. I’m taking the D3 K2 spray bit concern ed what would happen if it removes the calcification holding back the plaque in the widow maker. Not sure what to think anymore. If you don’t mind me asking; what have you been doing to help with this issue?

D3 does NOT put calcium where it should go. K2 does that. D3 simply gathers up the calcium in your bloodstream but then does nothing with it. Thats why K2 is needed to move it to the bones. Without K2, the osteocalcin proteins will be inactive and the calcium gathered up by D3 will be deposited into the arteries instead of moved to the bones. K2 is the vitamin that activates the osteocalcin ready to move calcium to the bones, not D3.

@@-xyz-012 Great question, actually the MOST important question that no one ever answers!

I make my own natto with an instant pot and powdered starter. With soy sauce, a little Cholula hot sauce and/or wasabi and dijon mustard, or with sliced green onions, it becomes very palatable to me in the 1.5 ounce servings a day I eat. It has also really helped keep me regular and has relieved my IBS and also helped my high blood pressure. I still wish , though, that a market in my area would sell it in the small packets like they do in Japan or at some Asian markets in the larger cities. here in tghe U.S. It is time consuming to make and keeping all utensils sterile in the process is essential. But it does keep well in small plastic containers in the fridge and can even be frozen to be kept longer, so I make enough for about two weeks at a time.

Luckily i became used to Natto after eating it several times. The Japanese figured out that eating Natto with green fleshed Kiwi fruit it helps strengthen the bones in osteoporosis. For some reason the yellow fleshed Kiwi doesn't work. I mash the natto with a fork and swirl it together with the kiwi.

I have blocked arteries. I chose to go natural instead of blood thinners. Check out a book by Dick Quinn’s book. “ Left for Dead” it’s a bit dated, but the information is on point. He emphasizes Cayenne pepper concoctions. I’ve been following his protocols for two years with no adverse affects and in Improvement in my blood markers and symptoms. Bottom line; I changed my-diet exercise and cayenne keeping my blood thin.
