OSTEOPOROSIS
OSTEOPOROSIS is a disruption and interference with the normal replacement of bone cells. Osteoporosis is a disorder characterized by a chronic degenerative loss of bone density.
Osteoporosis occurs in mature and senior men. Osteoporosis occurs in mature women who are usually postmenopausal, as well as those women in the menopausal life stages. Osteoporosis occurs in sedentary, bed-ridden, immobilized persons. Young healthy astronauts develop osteoporosis after just six months in orbit without gravity. Persons taking steroid therapy for long periods of time often tend to develop osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is a life changer. Pain, aches, fractures, micro fractures, bone breaks, loss of height, loss of stature, skeletal deformities, periodontal gum and tooth loss all come with osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis occurs, often, without a known cause. Osteoporosis is a natural process of aging. Osteoporosis is a negative progressive loss of calcium from bones.
Healthy bone is active dynamic body tissue alive with living cells making up its form structure and density. Symptoms related to the loss of calcium in the bones include loss of bone in the jaw leading to DENTAL and PERIODONTAL problems of widening pockets formatting around the teeth, receding gums, soft tissue.
Loss of calcium in bone can lead to osteoarthritis where calcium is deposited in the open spaces of the joints and for calcium to be deposited into muscle tissue.
Indicators pointing towards calcium loss in bone, osteopenia, and osteoporosis:
· Women no longer able to open pickle jars
· Teeth loosening
· Momentary loss of balance
· A simple slip and fall
· Two slip and falls in a six month period of time
· A fracture, micro fissure or bone break due to fall
· A general weakness in overall body strength
· Broken wrist, ribs or hip
Osteoporosis often appears to come on suddenly out of nowhere. Not so. The bones are not symptomatic until the skeleton and bones have lost greater than thirty percent of its calcium storage.
Modern Western, American diets in particular; lead to loss of calcium out of the bone. First, calcium is poorly absorbed from the digestion of the foods in the standard American diet. Too much phosphorus. Not enough calcium.
Osteopenia indicates that the existing diet is inadequate to supply enough calcium, factoring in the aging of the body, the level of moderate exercise and lifestyle choices.
See a dentist regularly. An untreated infected tooth is a direct threat and danger to the heart.
Women age 30 to 35 years old – get first bone density test. At this time the bone building slows down to the rate at which bone removal, by the osteoclast cells. Balance.

FORTIFY YOUR DIET AND BODY
ALUMINUM
· Throw out all aluminum cookware today
· Do not eat food cooked in aluminum. Period.
· Do not use aluminum-free baking powder
· Do not use deodorants containing aluminum
· Do not use antacid-containing aluminum
· Aluminum stimulates the parathyroid hormone which stimulates the bone breakdown and calcium resorption – removing calcium from bone
IF APPLICABLE: Under doctor’s supervision detox. Heavy toxic metals and minerals in lead and cadmium.
PHOSPORUS
The standard American diet is 2 parts phosphorus to one part calcium. Phosphorus stimulates the secretion of the hormone parathyroid that activates bone breakdown and calcium resorption – removing calcium from bone. A calcium to phosphorus ration of one part calcium to one part phosphorus helps prevent bone loss.
Sodas and soft drinks have phosphorus added in the form of phosphoric acid to the sugar and caffeine, high fructose corn syrup and carbonated water. Without the phosphorus being added to the soft drinks, the acidity would dissolve the teeth.
The good news is red meat down contain one part calcium. The bad news is red meat contains thirty parts phosphorus.
Phosphate food additives appear in packaged processed food products. Phosphate food additives stimulate parathyroid hormone which stimulate a bone breakdown and calcium resorption. This adverse activity of phosphorus can stimulate a negative net calcium loss in the young, the old, the elderly.
AVOID the following phosphate food additives:
· Phosphoric acid
· Pyrophosphate
· Polyphosphate
· Sodium phosphate
· Potassium phosphate
Eat naturally alkaline foods: All fruits, all vegetables
Eat non-gluten grains: Wild rice, millet, brown rice, corn, quinoa
Drink distilled water, teas, fruit juices, nut milks
Collard greens cooked are the best source of available calcium
Collard greens are the best source of vegetable fiber
Avoid all caffeine
Eliminate and avoid dairy – Acid producing mucus forming – No net calcium benefit
Meat is best eaten digested metabolized and eliminated when eaten with equal weight grains and vegetables. Meat must transit the intestinal tract as expeditiously as possible. Meat has no fiber.
VITAMIN D
Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption from food having been eaten that is in the intestine. The daily amount of Vitamin D needed can be made in your skin for the body. Simply expose at least thirty percent of your body to the light of the sun for thirty minutes a day.
Do not exceed the maximum daily dosage range. The suggested dosage range is 400 units to 1000 units per day. Excess dosage of Vitamin D has toxic side effects unseen to the eye. Excess Vitamin D promotes the calcification of the body’s muscular system as well as the calcification of our important core organs. Premature aging. Unless instructed by physician, limit the daily intake of Vitamin D to 1000 units per day. Vitamin D works. Best results are cumulative.
EXERCISE
Walking, exercise, dance, housework, yardwork; daily, stimulates the skeleton. The skeleton makes new bone cells when stimulated by the stress the muscular system exerts on the skeleton on the earth on top of the stress of Newtonian gravity putting a steady strain on our bones. Without daily, the muscular system stresses and strains and the add4ed weight of our mass to move laterally across the surface of earth ever pulling us down to the hollow fire core of the planet. We need to exert a metabolic motor neuronal muscular energy force that can overcome the anchoring force of gravity and propel our bipedal bony frame on pivot alternating falling forward catching ourselves with another step of movements.
If you do not have a dog, then take your bones for a walk every day. Keep your bones young.
Without earth’s gravity and its stress on our bones, the bones go into a dormant inactive stage, as if asleep, turned off; might our bones be magnetized to the earth. There is an ancient belief that dance is a visual prayer to God. Dance and be happy. Your bones love it. Gravity, electricity, magnetic attraction, muscle stress and tension.
A sedentary lifestyle speeds up the pace of calcium loss out of the bones. Premature aging.
Take together OSTEO FORMULA and CAL-MAG-BONE-MATRIX-OSTEO to help body better take up calcium and needed minerals to strengthen, moisten, nourish, repair the cracks, rebuild bone matrix, and renew the bone cells. Bring back moist flexible spring in youthful healthy bones.

See your physician: Get a bone density exam
There are varying definitions of Osteoporosis:
Some say that it is simple thinning of the bones and that the density of the bones is decreasing. The structure of the bones become weaker, less able to bear the same weight and under the stress and strain the bones dry out, get brittle, fracture, which further weakens and diminishes the remaining strength of the bones until a mishap easily breaks the bones.
Osteoporosis is the resultant effect of an aging living structure: an imbalance occurs between the osteoblastic and the osteoclastic functions and activities. Osteoblasts are mesodermic protein-secreting bone forming cells which transport collagen and minerals to the vacant honeycomb cell structure in bone tissue. The more there are living bone cells in bone structures the more youthful to the bones. Aging weakens the bones to where vacant cell structure cavities far outnumber occupied cell structure = the bones become porous. In addition to decreasing, the osteoblasts new bone cell development ‘osteoclastic activity’; bone withdrawal, removal, bone absorption goes on. Osteoclasts are giant multi-nuclear cells formed in the bone marrow of growing bones that dissolve excess bone tissue of growing bones and the old, the weak and dying bone cells; by releasing various acids, enzymes and chemicals which remove the collagen and mineral deposits and calcium salts. More vacancies. Aging upsets the balance of the osteoblasts and the osteoclasts. Bones thin. Osteoporosis can be the result of osteoclasts resorbing bone cells at a faster than normal [youthful healthy] rate of activity; or, Osteoporosis can be the result of the osteoblasts forming new bone cells at a very low rate of activity.
Osteoporosis appears not only in menopausal and post-menopausal women, but also in some men over forty, as well as persons even younger. Body impairment due to aging and old age. Symptoms include bone pain and increasing weakness in the body.
Menopausal women are especially subject to the imbalance of the bone resorption (bone withdrawal) activity occurring at a more repeated and more frequent rate than the rate of new bone formation.
New bone formation is an ever ongoing process, after osteoblasts activity, the new bone is mineralized while the material sets and is cured. Solid new bone. After time, new bone formation becomes old, the bone remodeling cycle of growing bone returns to its give and take.
Perhaps the most common cause of Osteoporosis is the natural process of aging.
When the osteoclasts excavate and hollow out too many cavities in the bone tissue, far outpacing the replacement rate of the osteoblasts; bones become porous. Of the overall skeleton the greatest bone loss is usually in the spine, hips, and ribs. All of these are weight bearing bones. Leading to backaches, non-specific backache, and/or sudden severe back pain. Stiffness usually accompanies the pain; often a result of pain.
Osteoporosis has no symptoms until a bout of sudden severe backaches.
Osteoporosis is a deficiency of calcium.
