Summary: <p>Today we’re going to talk about an overlooked cause of coronary artery calcification: lactic acidosis. Lactic acidosis occurs as a byproduct of glucose metabolism. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Both lactic acidosis and lactate in the blood are associated with various health issues, including:</p> <p> • Heart attacks</p> <p> • Thrombosis </p> <p> • Panic attacks</p> <p> • Autonomic nervous system dysfunction </p> <p> • Bipolar disorder </p> <p> • Schizophrenia </p> <p> • Sepsis </p> <p> • Arrhythmia problems </p> <p> • Liver disease </p> <p> • Diabetes </p> <p> • Cancer </p> <p> • Restless leg syndrome </p> <p><br></p> <p>Calcification in the arteries is not just caused by old age, consuming too much calcium, or even a vitamin K2 deficiency. </p> <p><br></p> <p>It turns out that one cause of vascular calcification is hypoxia in the arteries. Hypoxia is a lack of oxygen, and this lack of oxygen in the arteries can be caused by lactic acidosis. </p> <p><br></p> <p>The top causes of lactic acidosis: </p> <p> • A high-carb diet </p> <p> • An overactive sympathetic dominance situation (chronic stress)</p> <p> • Metformin </p> <p> • Warfarin </p> <p> • Statins</p> <p> • Alcohol </p> <p> • Overtraining </p> <p><br></p> <p>The top symptoms of lactic acidosis are breathing problems and restlessness, especially in the leg muscles. </p> <p><br></p> <p>How to get rid of lactic acidosis: </p> <p>1. Get on the keto diet </p> <p>2. Reduce your stress</p> <p>3. Consume natural vitamin B1 (thiamine)</p> <p><br></p> <p>DATA: </p> <p><a href="https://assets.cureus.com/uploads/case_report/pdf/62846/20210806-1733-1hy19v6.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://assets.cureus.com/uploads/cas...</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/ATVBAHA.119.312509" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.11...</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.hormonesmatter.com/covid-notes-thiamine-reduces-mortality-thrombosis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.hormonesmatter.com/covid-...</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/ars.2021.0267" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.108..</a></p>
