Question: I AM 66 YR OLD MALE WITH MODERATE CHOLESTEROL. SIX FEET 190 POUNDS AND GENERALLY IN GOOD HEALTH. I WALK FOR 40 MINUTES 4 DAYS A WEEK UP HILL/DOWN HILL. I STOPPED LAST YEAR TAKING CRESTOR.

I KNOW THAT MY LAD artery has "calcification" .... somewhere in the 25% to 50% range. My calcium score is 113. My right artery in my neck also has calcium build up.

I had my vitamin D tested and was low and now I take vitamin D and K2 in the hopes of preventing more formation of calcium and/or reducing what I have. I also "juice" green leaf vegetables and have 8 oz per day (kale spinach celery carrots italian parsley and sprouts)

Any suggestions to "get rid of" the built up calcium in my arteries. I am not going back on statins .... firstly they make me feel horrible and secondly I have read several 'peer reviewed' papers that suggest that statins my in fact promote calcification.

Thanks
