Other natural antidotes to arterial calcifications include vitamin K, vitamin D and magnesium.
Groups who consume the highest amounts of vitamin K from dietary sources exhibit more than a 50% reduction in coronary heart disease mortality and aortic calcium scores.
[Journal Nutrition 134: 3100–05, 2004] Vitamin K is naturally rich in spinach, broccoli and turnip greens.
Vitamin D has also been shown to be correlated with the absence of extensive arterial calcification. [Circulation 96: 1755–60, 1997] But the public is going to have to overcome mistaken advice usually offered by health professionals about vitamin D.
Most physicians, pharmacists and dieticians will warn the public away from so-called high-dose vitamin D supplements because of the false notion that vitamin D actually induces calcifications. But this effect has only been demonstrated in animals at lethal doses (~2.1 million units of vitamin D). [Current Opinion Lipidology 18(1):41–6, 2007]
Dr. Reinhold Vieth, PhD, at the University of Toronto, says the toxicity of vitamin D doesn’t begin till 40,000 units are consumed. [American Journal Clinical Nutrition 1999 May; 69(5):842–56] Dr. Vieth notes that an hour of total-body skin exposure to unfiltered sunlight in the summer at a southern latitude would produced about 10,000 units of vitamin D without any known side effects. He says the risk for toxicity is remote.
Vitamin D is a vitamin/hormone produced in the skin upon sun exposure. It is widely known that more heart attacks occur in winter months when vitamin D levels are low.
Dr. Joe Prendergast, a practicing endocrinologist in Redwood City, California, now treats his patients with 5000 units vitamin D and a blood-vessel widening amino acid (arginine) to successfully reverse hardening of the arteries. Vitamin D’s anti-calcifying effects are working for this doctor’s patients.
Magnesium is a natural calcium blocker and is another natural antidote to arterial calcification. [The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2004 Oct; 23(5):501S–505S] Magnesium is rich in foods like almonds, spinach and pumpkin seeds. Magnesium oxide in dietary supplements is poorly absorbed and other forms (citrate, glycinate, malate) should be consumed.
