Osteopenia And Osteoporosis Prevention

Why don’t we hear more about osteoporosis prevention? Maybe
because osteoporosis is a condition that may  develop slowly and
be truly painless. We may not have any inkling of the fact that we
are even a candidate for the disease.

Then suddenly a bone breaks and it is discovered
that the cause is porous, fragile bones. These broken
bones, or fractures, occur most often in the hip, spine,
and wrist, though any bone can be affected.

At this point, it is too late to prevent osteoporosis
and the emphasis has to be on reversing instead.
However the same process that we use for healing
may be used for prevention.

Hip fractures almost always require hospitalization and major
surgery. Many times the hip is replaced and often it results in
permanent disability or even death. Fractures of the spine or
vertebrae also have serious consequences, including loss of height,
severe back pain, and deformity.

There are over thirty-five million people in the United States
that have osteoporosis. Though it is four times more prevalent in
women than in men, many men also suffer from it.

I have been especially concerned because of my own experience of
having broken my hip twice. My goal is to help as many as possible
prevent this needless suffering.    An all natural means of prevention
