Osteoporosis – Building Bones Naturally

AN ANSWER TO OSTEOPOROSIS

The “Brittle Bone” Disease!

  • One of the least understood chronic diseases in medical science today.
  • According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, 29 million Americans suffer from this “silent disease”.
  • Every year the disease causes 1.5 million osteopathic failures.
  • Due to the brittleness of the bones involved and difficulty in healing them, these fractures bring independent living to a screeching halt.

According to osteoporosis researcher and author Betty Kamen, PhD, “More women die from osteoporosis related fractures than from breast, cervix and uterine cancer combined.”

 

What causes Osteoporosis?

  • Understand Osteoporosis
    Osteoporosis is the chronic loss of bone mass in the human body resulting in brittleness and fracture.
  • Understand human anatomy
    1. Bone regenerates itself constantly!
    2. 2 types of bone cells
      1. Osteoclasts (OC) - eat old bone
      2. Osteoblasts (OB) - build new bone
        OC ↓ = OB ↑ HEALTHY SKELETON
        After age 35,
        OC ↓ > OB ↑ LOSS OF BONE MASS
        *1% or more bone density a year after middle age.

*This is a natural part of growing old, like wrinkling skin.
*However in some individuals bone loss seems to be accelerated.

  • Osteoporosis begins during these 2 periods of our life:
    1. Childhood and adolescence
      Contributing factors during this time are lack of sun exposure and poor diet.
    2. After middle age during the aging process
      Contributing factors are lack of sun exposure, poor diet and hormonal imbalance

Dispel the Myths!!!

Myth #1

Lack of dietary Calcium is the chief reason for osteoporosis and Calcium supplementation is the answer.

  • Indigenous populations in nutritionally disadvantaged countries, such as Africa, exhibit no evidence of osteoporosis where CA intake is low.
  • Vise Versa
  • In the US, CA is used abundantly in processed and baked goods yet the osteoporosis crisis grows!

Myth #2

Calcium found in antacid tablets is perfect for helping build bone.

  • There is not one single medical test done to prove this statement.
  • In fact, the latest research shows that the form of calcium used in antacids is one of the least absorbable forms of calcium.

Myth #3

Osteoporosis is an estrogen deficiency disease.

  • The truth is that osteoporosis actually begins long before menopause or the fall of estrogen levels.
  • Estrogen holds back osteoclasts (the cells that destroy old bone), but does not rebuild bone.
  • 14-year study reported in JAMA demonstrated there was no significant difference in frequency of hip fracture between women who used estrogen therapy and those who did not.
  • In fact, long term use of estrogen therapy can pose dangerous implications; endometrial cancer, weight gain, HBP, phlebitis, cysts…

DRUG WARNING!!!

Synthetic pharmaceutical drugs have dangerous side effects and interfering with the bodies natural process!

  • Calcium rich foods
    Salad greens, broccoli, soy products, tofu, onions, parsley, sardines, canned salmon, brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, hulled sesame seeds
  • Add these supplements:
    Cod liver oil – 1 teaspoon for every 50 lbs of weight Contains vita D and essential Omega 3 FA
    Boron – Mineral that helps body “hang” on to CA
    Foods rich in boron; apples, pears, grapes, nuts, honey
    Manganese – trace mineral
    Foods rich in M.; pineapples, nuts, spinach, beans
  • Exercise
    Weight bearing exercise is a must!
    30 minutes a day ¾ times a week
    Lower body – jogging, walking, aerobic, dance
    Upper body – light weight lifting

An Answer for those with severe osteoporosis!

  1. Follow above Do's and Don'ts
  2. Saliva Test
    May need to supplement with a progesterone cream
  3. Bone density test before beginning program and 6 months after
  4. OsteoOrganical
    2 main ingredients
    1. Sea algae calcium
      90 % absorbable vs. calcium carbonate 7-8%
      Perfectly balanced amounts of magnesium and manganese
    2. Vita D3 (shark oil)
      Increases bone mass by 3 % in 3 to 6 months

*300 different treatment studies performed showed an increase in bone mass in 95% of the cases within 3-6 months!

*Most pharmaceuticals produce the same amount of bone growth in 10 times the length of time!
