Recently Jenna remarked, “Oh, but my doctor said you can’t reverse

The Natural Way to Reverse Osteoporosis

osteoporosis.”  To which I responded, “I know you can, because I did it – -the natural way, without any drugs.”

Jenna insisted that her doctor had told her she should take a bisphosphate to prevent osteoporosis. And that if she did get osteoporosis she would be unable to reverse it.

How sad that there is so much ignorance about this condition.

I sympathized with her fear. No one wants to get osteoporosis.  The statistics predict that…

1. One half of all women over fifty will have an osteoporosis related fracture…
   
2. The most common bone factures are the hip, spine, or wrist…
3. Of those who sustain a fracture due to osteoporosis, many will never completely recover…

No wonder Jenna was worried…

But once we realize that the cause of osteoporosis is a deficiency of proper nutrients, and proper exercise, the way to reverse it is to supply those nutrients and proper bone building exercises.

I have sustained two hip fractures.  After the first one, the doctor informed me that he thought I had osteoporosis.  Fortunately, there were no osteoporosis drugs at that time and no dexa bone scan to cause the doctor to prescribe a bisphosphonate drug.

I am forever grateful that I turned to nutrition and discovered the natural way to reverse osteoporosis and to rebuild strong bones.

My second fracture for the same hip, but about an inch below the first break was due to a freak accident.  The surgeon who repaired it with a bolt and metal plate exclaimed to my husband after the surgery that he had to drill through where the first break had been and that it was, “like drilling through hard wood!”  He later shared that with me and added, “If you keep on doing whatever you are doing, don’t let anyone ever tell you that you have osteoporosis.”

What a relief that was for me to hear. Assurance that I no longer had osteoporosis.

You can probably understand why I am so disturbed when I come across news items like the following:

(HealthDay News) — “Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bones become thin, frail and brittle, and may break easily.”

I do not believe osteoporosis is a disease.  It is a condition that is not inherited and not permanent – if you really want to get better seriously enough to change your lifestyle. The best osteoporosis diet I can recommend can be found at this body building site. You can skip the muscles part and go to the eating part.  It is very good!!

The best part of my story is that I am now 82 years old and have no limitations for walking or even running. I am very grateful and it is my desire to help you realize how you, too, can prevent or reverse osteoporosis the natural way.

Hoping for your abundant health,

Muryal

Poor Digestion-#1 Cause of Osteopenia

was surprised to hear the doctor answer that “the number one  cause of osteopenia is poor digestion”.  That makes sense because it really doesn’t matter what we eat if the food doesn’t digest properly.

In her monthly health letter, speaking about indigestion, Dr.Nan Fuchs stated, “In no branch of medicine is treating symptoms rather than the root cause of the problem more common than when it comes to digestive problems.”

Do you suffer from: Heartburn? Acid reflux? Irritable bowel syndrome? Diverticulosis? Crohns? Do not be surprised if you later develop osteopenia due to those digestion problems.

If you are taking an antacid, it may seem to give relief, but it does not cure your problem. It is like getting a shot of novacaine when you go to the dentist. That takes the pain away temporarily, but if he doesn’t fix the cavity you will have the pain again as soon as the medication wears off.  And the antacid prevents you from receiving the benefit of the nutrients that you have eaten.

Sherry Brescia is a researcher who had digestion problems herself for many years until she finally developed  a way of combining food in such a way that you will not experience pain if you follow her plan.  She is offering :

• A free booklet to stop your problems in less than one day
• Meal planning guidelines
• Delicious recipes

The reason I am including this on my osteopenia blog is because I know that when your digestion problems are solved, you will be on the path to preventing or reversing osteopenia or osteoporosis.

In order to have healthy bones, muscles, nerves, blood, etc. you must have good digestion. If you are among those with digestion problems, just Click Here for this free information right away.

Best Optimal Diet for Preventing Osteoporosis

Her friend’s doctor had warned her that osteopenia could develop into osteoporosis.  She explained that she was really concerned because she had always thought that osteoporosis was only a disease of older people.

Jean wasn’t the first person to ask me for the best optimal diet for preventing osteoporosis, but as I didn’t have the time to prepare one myself, I spent quite a bit of time researching nutritional programs on the internet. The problem for me was that each one had some parts of them that I felt were faulty, so I was reluctant to recommend any of them…

When I had just about decided I would need to make up my
own plan, I discovered a diet plan that I can recommend wholeheartedly.  As an independent nutritional researcher for over
40 years, I was excited to find that the eating plan in this program is exceptional… I urge you to get it to see how well it is designed.

• It recommends eating six times per day ( no chance of starving here)…
• Has excellent, easy to follow meal plans, no strange ingredients…
• Good nutritional information to guide you…Quick results…

In fact, it includes all the necessary nutrients that I recommend in my ebook, 7 Secrets to Reverse Osteoporosis . My book details the requirements  for healthy bones,  but I did not include meal plans.

You may be surprised to realize that this diet is part of the very well known, The Truth About Abs and is known worldwide as a program that helps people get rid of belly fat.  If you are not interested in that, just ignore the exercise part, and follow the eating guide.  However, the exercises would also help to keep your bones strong.

I encourage you to check it out as the best optimal diet for preventing osteoporosis… and even reversing it if you already have it.  Right now, you can get this program for only $4.95, with even a money back guarantee if you are not convinced that it is great for you.

I know we’ve talked about Xylitol before.  This low

calorie alternative to table sugar has some very
exciting uses. It occurs naturally in the fibers of
various fruits and vegetables and has been found
to be beneficial for…

• Dental Care-actually reducing cavities…
• Ear infections…
• Diabetes…
• Osteoporosis!

For dental use, it is available in chewing gum, mints, and toothpaste. It not only prevents cavities by chewing the gum or eating the mints, but it can actually repair tooth enamel and inhibit the formation of dental plaque. It has also been recommended for oral candidiasis.

Pediatritions have prescribed it for children who have a tendency to repeat ear infections. The recommended amount is about 5 grams per day -achieved by chewing the gum or eating mints three to five times per day. The gum should be chewed about 5 minutes and mints should be allowed to dissolve before swallowing.

It has been a welcome ingredient in diabetic products as it is absorbed more slowly than sugar and does not cause elevated blood sugar levels. It also has less calories than sugar.

But you are probably thinking all those things are great, but osteoporosis?  You may be thinking I’ve completely lost my senses by making this statement.

Yes, I know I’ve warned about regular table sugar and how it hinders the absorption of calcium, magnesium and other minerals because it makes the digestive tract too alkaline for them to be digested properly.

But the most recent development that I’ve been anxious to share with you
is that group of Finnish researchers has found that dietary xylitol prevents weakening of bones in laboratory rats, and actually improves bone density!  It has had beneficial effects on bone resorption, and also, bone structure.

What a blessing it is to know that the harmful effects of regular sugar are missing and exciting benefits are present in this great product!

Vitamin D

During a visit to Cameroon, West Africa, it was interesting  to notice that  all the hospitals were built with a large courtyard area in the center.  The patients’  rooms were around the edge of this large square area with doors opening into that area.

The most remarkable element of the patient care that was that all patients were encouraged to spend several hours per day in the courtyard.  One of the missionary doctors remarked that the sun is one of the best medicines, and said  they had observed that during the rainy season when the patients were not able to get out into the sunshine, their recovery is slower for nearly every illness.

My African visit was many years ago, but recently I have thought about that experience many times as I have read about so much modern research that confirms the benefit of Vitamin D in relation to an almost limitless list of illnesses. We are just beginning to understand that our Vitamin D3 deficiency  contributes to many conditions, including…

• Osteoporosis
• Mental decline
• Cancer
• Depression -Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
• Autoimmune disorders
• Heart disease
• Diabetes Type I and II
• Parkinsons

For this blog we are especially interested in osteoporosis and have learned that insufficient Vitamin D3 contributes to that condition by reducing the absorption of calcium to the bones.

Concerning mental decline, in a recent study with 858 participants who were 65 or older and were deficient in Vitamin D, 60 percent more were found to have substantial cognitive decline than subjects with sufficient Vitamin D levels.   Do you know anyone with Dementia who had a history of spending daily time out in the sun?

Cancer patients in  eleven categories  including colon, breast, skin and prostate were all found to be deficient in Vitamin D.

Depression in non-sunny weather is far more prevalent than in sunny seasons which is the reason for coining the term Seasonal Affective Disorder. This is also a condition for many who are indoors during the sunny times of the day in any season.

Autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis are also on the rise.

And Heart Disease is still the number one cause of death in the United States.

Diabetes type I and II and Parkinsons have also been included on this list.

The Recommended Daily Allowance for Vitamin D  of 400 I U is ridiculously low.   We are now hearing  new recommendations of at least 5000 I U per day — only as much as your body will produce in 1/2 hour of  sunlight. Of course, if  you are wearing sunscreen or are taking a cholesterol lowering drug, your body will not be able to produce any vitamin D naturally.

If you are purchasing a vitamin D supplement, you need to be sure you are getting vitamin D3 as any vitamin D2 is synthetic and does not have the benefits of the natural vitamin.  Also, the sun is still our very best source for real vitamin D.

Dr. Mercola, who has the most visited health site on the internet, has found a
healthy alternative to being out in the sun for any who are interested.  I am sending the link to his site HERE so that you can read more and listen to his video about the value of the sun, and though I cannot afford the product he is promoting, there is fascinating information in his video to encourage you and me to spend some time each day in the sunshine.
