Breast microcalcifications, Vitamin D supplementation

[vocalEK]

Yikes. I had a mammogram today and just got word that they found microcalcifications and want to do more imaging and an ultrasound.

"IMPRESSION: Right breast mass with calcifications and left breast

asymmetry with calcifications which require further evaluation. "

Many years ago they found microcalcifications, which turned out to be nothing important. I am wondering if my Vitamin D supplementation has anything to do with it. I don't drink milk but do use a little half and half in my coffee. And as a low-carber, I do eat a lot of cheese.

I started supplementing in 2017 when my Vitamin D blood level was 29 ng/ml (range: 30 - 100 mg/ml. That most recent test result is 43 ng/ml.

It's only recently that I began taking the formulation of Vitamin D with K, and also magnesium.

Any thoughts?

I can't help on the mammogram but cheese and milk are full of hormones and cause inflammation in the body, the majority of people with thyroid problems are also sensitive to them. Hope you get on okay with your results x

You may be better off switching to goat's milk if you are a fan of dairy. A calf will grow to be a cow / bull on the hormones in its mum's milk. A goat kid will only grow to be the size of an adult goat - which weighs in at around human size... so a safer option I think..

I wish you all the best x

I take vitamin D3 with K2 and magnesium and had a mammogram a couple of months ago and it came back OK so it’s hard to tell if it’s your D3/K2 pills that are the problem. I do regular home fingerprick blood tests though to make sure my vitamin D levels aren’t too high. Do you know what your vitamin D levels are?

I've just posted my recent blood work of D3 levels having taking Natures Answer D3 since Nov last year. It has worked amazingly well and can highly recommend if you need to increase your levels. 2 Drops under the tongue and hold for 30 sec. Easy.

I can only comment on myself starting with eating lots of cheese all of my life and having very low vitamin D. The vitamin D I have sorted out myself and take it everyday together with the co factor K2. These work together to place your calcium into the bones and teeth and away from the soft tissues.

When my gallbladder was removed in 2006 it was full of calcium stones I had never been overweight or had any form of Cholesterol problems like most people with gallbladder ops. They never even explained about Vitamin D.

I also went to my Chiropractor with pains in my right groin she sent me for an ultra sound

and I was told it was calcified too.

The only way I have become well again is joining this site and taking good advice.

Yes, raw milk contains hormones. 90% of these hormones are destroyed in pasturisation and the rest are destroyed in your digestion system. The hormones are completely destroyed in cheese before you eat it. Your tap water probably contains more hormones than the glass of milk.

And just for the record, British farmers are not allowed to give hormones to their cattle - it is against the law.

I too have had calcium deposits found in a mammogram. They said it was something to do with when I breast fed. I hope the follow up is good news, as I know how worrying this is. Hug.
