If you are like many women, you were probably told that you need 1,200 mg of calcium per day to keep your bones from crumbling. It may surprise you to learn that calcium supplements may not be helping your bones at all. Even worse, taking calcium supplements could cause major health problems, including heart attacks! In this video Dr. Northrup shares her recommendations for getting the proper type and amount of calcium as well as the other minerals you need.

In response to the comment from ‘sane advise’ below Are you for real or just a bit thick? You have labelled all Republicans as “uncaring”, then ‘advise’ this doctor to keep her opinions “strictly related to medical versus political”. You also make sweeping unsubstantiated statements about how the “majority” of ‘sane’ people feel the same way as YOU – people for who you DO NOT represent, no matter what your professional credentials are or are not. You label a chunk of the population you have never met based on your own partisan bias. You are so stupid in fact, you actually believe that anyone ‘sane’ would heed what amounts to a veiled threat about this doctor’s credibility. Thankfully, you only get to decide your own narrow, biased views, not that of anyone else who can see exactly what is going on around the world. By your own advice, step outside of politics and take a big hard look at how infiltrated authoritative collectives have become, and how they ultimately follow the same goals.. That alone should be a wake up for you. Democracy is a sham, and voting doesn’t matter a jot when the entire electoral framework is controlled by the same nefarious power structure and it’s ‘useful idiot’ operatives across ALL political spheres around the globe. Wake up child!
Hello Dr. Northrup and others on this site,
I have a slight dilemma. I am 73 years old and refuse to get the “jab”. However this year our So. Maine HS class is planning a reunion. It will be held out of doors, lakeside, and I am sure 98% of the class ran to get in line for the shot!!! I’m concerned about shedding if I attend the gathering with around 60 other people. Actually I’m stubborn as heck and maybe I’m looking for and out. In prior years I have been one of about 8 of us that have done all the planning. Should I be concerned if I do go? It seems like the times I am in close proximity to a vaxxed, the next day I literally sleep ALL DAY LONG, completely exhausted! Help, please. Barbara Johnson
I have always loved your medical advice!
You were a speaker at a recent convention where Michael Flynn and Roger Stone also spoke. That was a major turn off, since both those men are criminal morons, like the idiot mob boss Trump, who they idolize. The majority of sane people feel the same way.
I hope that you keep your opinions about vaccinations strictly related to medical concerns, versus political. If you are associated with cold, uncaring Republicans, you will lose all the respect that you had previously earned throughout your career. Please maintain your levelheaded, caring, professional perspective.
