I reversed osteoporosis without drugs

Can anyone address the issue of calcium supplements if you have heart disease? I go to an integrative medicine practice, all doctors are MDs, and the head doc told me NOT to take calcium supplements because the calcium would go straight to my heart. I have significant osteoporosis, am injecting Tymlos daily. I try to eat calcium-rich foods, but the heart disease has me off saturated fats, so that cuts out a lot of dairy. I am a bit nervous about being off calcium supplements and wondering if anyone has received the same warning.

Because my cholesterol LDLs were high I was told to have a calcium scan. My score was very high. I am in the 91% for women my age. I was told not to take calcium supplements. I have a cup of yogurt, a cup of kale daily. I lowered my protein intake and sodium intake which I was told reduces the need for calcium.

In the COMB study they used food only calcium…I have history of heart issue in my family so I avoid calcium pills. It is not guaranteed that a pill will magically end up in your bones! Studies have shown artery issues with pills. If you must, take tiny dosage to supplement a good diet. Get your calcium levels checked.
My opinion after reading and my personal fear of causing other problems! These pills go thru your whole system.. not just to where you want them.
I am trying to find a magnesium supplement that does not send me running to the bathroom. I have tried 4 different types. No good one on any dose. Another supplement with absorption issues. ..
