Sound of Music Actress Charmian Carr Dies at 73 from Complications from Dementia
I emailed it to my sisters.
My mother took high doses of calcium and died from a brain tumor at age 87.
Ping.
OMG!! No one knows what causes death at 87!!! You were BLESSED that you had your mother so long!!
Sorry about your mother.
And thank you for this post about the calcium supplements. We’re damned if we do and damned if we don’t.
My mother took supplements and died at 5he age of 93 still alert and aware.
I’ve heard the problem is an overbalance of Ca vs Mg.
“OMG!! No one knows what causes death at 87!!!”
I guess coroners are just wasting time doing autopsies and must be wrong with their conclusions since no one knows....
87???? COme ON!!!
How about some FYI on Statins?
They’re pushing pills 24/7!! Buyer beware and check the side effects.
More bad news for Hillary.
US FDA gives OK for human trial of metformin as anti-ageing drug to prolong life until 120 years
I've read numerous articles about Metformin's anti-ageing, anti-cancer properties.
I may ask my doctor to increase my dosage, ha, ha.
“Taking calcium supplements with the hope of keeping osteoporosis at bay may raise an older woman’s risk of dementia......”
So what if she’s (my wife) taking it for cramps in her fingers as it is the only thing she finds she can take to alleviate those painful cramps in her fingers? The cramps start, she takes 1000 mg Calcium, and minutes later no more cramps.
IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE?
And you should mix in vitamin K, which helps to prevent arterial calcification.
Thanks for posting.
I was taking D3, calcium and magnesium, because the common wisdom was that those three must be taken together.
Doc recently told me to drop the calcium after lab work showed it had elevated way too high.
And I *am* feeling a little demented lately. :-)
Give it up. There is no arguing with ALLCAPS and exclamation points.
Be careful with magnesium. The citrate kind can give you the trots.
“So what if shes (my wife) taking it for cramps in her fingers as it is the only thing she finds she can take to alleviate those painful cramps in her fingers? The cramps start, she takes 1000 mg Calcium, and minutes later no more cramps.”
For heaven’s sake she needs it therefore she should take it.
Those who just take it with their vitamin have a choice to make.
FYI I don’t take it.

Here in Michigan, Meijer gives Metformin Rx for free. When I was on it, I would go to Meijer just for the Metformin. While I was waiting, of course, I’d spend $50 or so on other stuff. Suckers!
YUP.
I take 100mcg of K2 daily because I take 10,000 IU of vitamin D daily.
again, then coroners are wasting time?
my Grandpa got a clean bill of health in September years ago. Collapsed and died a few months later. He was 87. Coroner report helped family understand what happened since it wasn’t heart attack or anything obvious and his check ups had been all good.
Watch Dr G and others. Death cause at any age can be figured out.
Some people care about health and causes of disease or death at any age, I guess you don’t.
