What Are Parathyroid Glands? How Calcium is Controlled.

Parathyroid glands control calcium levels in your blood and bones. Adults should have calcium levels in the 9s. Parathyroid glands create parathyroid hormone to change the level of calcium in your blood. This is a basic Dr Norman video that all parathyroid patients should know. Award winning.

There is a near zero percent chance that drinking distilled water for any length of time would cause hyperparathyroidism.

Two yrs ago I had papilary thyroid cancer & nodules w/ thyroid removed, they left the parathyroid alone. I daily take 1200 mg of Calcium & 3000 IU Vit. D & 10,000 1x a month. My Calcium Blood Results Average between: 8.6 & 9.0 & my Vit. D is total: 63, low average/ My PTH Level is 15.2.

My question is: Do I have a Bad parathyroid because I have to take so much Calcium/Vit D to get normal levels?

I've had multiple kidneys stones, weak bones (fractures) along w/ bone cramping & pain.

thanks so much!! I will have this in last semester nursing school, starts next week, trying to get a head up on the things I had trouble understanding in the past. Not sure why I had such a hard time with this, you very much increased my understanding. I will definitely have a look at your other videos.
