Having calcium deposits in my own brain doesn’t make me qualified to give advice. However, it is my belief that our dietary habits and environment play a large roll in our brain makeup. After being diagnosed with the calcium deposits, I haven’t changed a thing. I make it a practice to eat healthy, exercise and enjoy my life. My brain capacity and function has not declined. I’m not suffering from pain or ill health. And if the MRI hand not shown the calcium deposits I wouldn’t have known. I don’t know how old my deposits are or when they formed. As a parent, it’s a bit alarming to find that your child has calcium deposits on the brain, but I’ve got a gut feeling that most of us have such deposits. I don’t always agree with doctors, but in this case, I’m leaning towards the “it’s nothing to worry about” philosophy. I’m no expert on brain calcification.

Regarding the calcification I would tend to agree with your doctor in that you shouldn't worry too much. Calcification in tends to effect older people much more and calcification in the arteries and the joints is a major problem. A recent study looking at slowing down/halting/reversing calcification in arteries has been completed using vitamin K2. The rumor is that it has been successful, though how successful I don't know yet. Hopefully we will find out in the next few months. Best Wishes Stew Hi Ashley,

She said not to worry to much but to get mri. Saw a specialist who didnt seem to think is to serious and thinks tingling of scalp is from headaches. Now awaiting testing. Im just scared i guess.
