Osteoporosis - Bone Density

Arthritis - Osteopenia - Magnesium Deficiency
Calcium Deficiency

Improving Bone Density
Reversing Calcium Deficiency

YES you can stop the progression of osteoporosis

and

YES you can increase bone density

I speak to many, many people with diagnoses having to do with bone de-mineralization as well as arthritis. I am 51 years myself, my husband 56 and family and friends in the same age group, facing the bone health issue. My sister in her mid 40's has been diagnosed with osteopenia. The following includes information about these health issues, prevention, what we are doing ourselves to maintain our bone density, quality of life and solutions to nourishing, restoring and repairing our bones.

We are now hearing back from customers that their bone density scores are improving......!

Everyone needs calcium, yet very few people are aware of the true cause of the calcium deficiency.

America has the highest calcium supplement consumption, and yet has the highest rate of bone disease, arthritis, osteoporosis and calcium loss.

How could this be?

To Maintain Bone Integrity the Body needs:

**Increased MAGNESIUM / NOT INCREASED CALCIUM
**Silica
**Boron
**Vitamin D (preferably directly from the sun or Cod Liver Oil)
**Walking or Jumping on a rebounder

and

**Remove Heavy Metals from the Joints
**Change to a High Quality Diet
**Stem Cell Nutrition can repair damaged bones

What Is Osteoporosis

OSTEOPOROSIS is a skeletal disease often not diagnosed until a fractured hip, wrist or other bone occurs. It is considered a silent disease for this condition is created over many years. Peak bone mass is reached by both men and women in their late 20s and early 30s. As the year's progress, heavy metal toxins bio-accumulate in the joints...read our article on DETOX TOXINS to understand how this happens. These heavy metal toxins eat away at our joints - HOWEVER, the heavy metals can be removed with the Terramin Clay as well as Natural Liquid Zeolite.... more about these below.

Due to the lack of minerals in the food supply along with the SADD (Standard American Daily Diet) - over the years, our body's become depleted of the vital mineral supply needed, and demineralization of the bones takes place. Bones become weak, brittle and the joint becomes inflammed. (This can also occur in periodontal disease, causing decay.)

Bone density measurements can be performed to determine if there is a decrease in bone density. The best treatment is prevention (as well as stopping the progression) and awareness of what causes osteoporosis. The likelihood of osteoporosis occurring can be reduced significantly by

** Detoxifying the joints of heavy metals
** Adding silica, magnesium, boron and phosphorus
** Vitamin D and
** Calcium only when extra magnesium is present.

Eating raw, organic green vegetables, reducing caffeine and alcohol and eliminating cigarettes are very important as well. Also use a rebounder trampouline regularly or get out and walk, walk walk to signal the bones to create more density.

OSTEOPENIA Osteopenia means thin bones, decreased calcification or bone density. It generally is the term used prior to an osteoporosis diagnosis.

CALICIFICATION is a build-up of insoluble calcium deposits in different parts of the body. These deposits are most noticeable in and around the joints, arteries, kidneys, gall bladder, heart valves, and can be deposited anywhere in the body and are easily observed in CT scans.

KIDNEY STONES - If you have had kidney stones, most of the time these are calcium deposits (not always, but usually). Absorable Magnesium Citrate Powder gradually dissolves calcium deposits. CLICK ON MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCY BELOW

ARTHRITIS literally means inflammation of a joint. This can be from heavy metal accumulation in the joints, destruction of the cartilage around the joints and/or often results from calcium deposits settling in and around the joints, causing stiffness, inflamation and making movements very painful. As toxins and calcium deposits build-up over time, mobility of the joint decreases, calcium deposits grow together on the two joint surfaces fusing the joint.

Understanding Magnesium Deficiency in Bone Density

Magnesium is essential for calcium absorption, working towards dissolving calcium deposits and many, many other body functions.
Magnesium deficiency can be corrected.

Advertising over the years has conditioned us to believe that the healthy growth of our bones and our children's bones is dependent upon receiving calcium from processed cow's milk. These commercials are there to sell a product. For example…

… if one drinks a glass of pasteurized milk (which is about 8 parts calcium to 1 part magnesium), the body, in order to assimilate the calcium, will have to make up the magnesium imbalance from its own magnesium supply!...which most people are depleted in...so it pulls it from our bones! Further…

…the casein in the milk protein (used to manufacture white glue) can only be digested by calves, which have 3 stomachs, and have the enzyme to separate the calcium from the casein. The calcium from cows milk passes through the human digestive tract unavailable to us, and is very acidic to our body.

CALCIUM - The high consumption of calcium ingestion combined with low magnesium levels is a major factor.

Many people are unaware that the calcium they are taking is being stored in the soft tissue, organs and joints, also called calcium deposits, simply because the necessary magnesium is not available to assist the calcium to properly assimilate. Over the years this often becomes arthritis, osteoporosis, kidney stones, calcium deposits, decreased bone density etc.

Magnesium is not stored by the body, but is essential for proper absorption of calcium. Once magnesium reserves are restored...we immediately begin to feel more relaxed, bowel function improves ( often constipation disappears ), energy is restored, we sleep better and the heart, adrenals, nervous system functions begin to improve. The body systems can begin to balance again. Adequate magnesium dissolved in water will assist any needed calcium to assimilate, will absorb quickly into the body, and handle excess calcium…gradually dissolving calcium deposits.

Calcium is now added to many products i.e. cereals, crackers, juice, antacids etc. However, NONE of theses products contain magnesium to balance the additional calcium OR contain magnesium in a form easily absorbed by the body. Without the magnesium, the calcium actually depletes any magnesium reserves from the body, and deposits itself into the soft tissue, joints, kidneys, arteries etc.

Eating calcium rich, raw vegetables or juicing them is the easiest way to put calcium into our bodies, and then supplementing with water soluble magnesium citrate to properly absorb the calcium and to dissolve calcium deposits. (More about this below under "Solutions.")

The water soluble magnesium will relax the muscles and have a beautiful effect on the digestion and elimination processes of the body. Constipation often disappears, as does muscle cramps, spasms, blood sugar fluctuations etc.

SILICA is Essential To Build Bone Density

Silica, phosphorus, boron are essential minerals of significant value for bone formation…remineralization of bones and can aid in increasing cartilage between joints. Silica is present in your hair, nails, and skin and needed for flexible arteries. Research has shown the entry of calcium into the bone is dependent on this element, which is deficient in our diets and is not easy to assimilate in supplement form. Silica depletes in our bodies as we age. Eating Terramin clay will address this effectively.

Modern soil cultivation practices have caused serious mineral depletion in the food supply. Many of us who eat the highest quality diet we can, know mineral supplementation is more necessary than ever before to protect the health of the cells of the body.

Although we hear little about silica it is absolutely necessary for the proper function of ligaments, tendons and bones, as well as support for the health of our blood vessels and the critical function of the heart.

SILICA - We have personally found Terramin clay (pure calcium montmorillonite) to be an excellent way to obtain silica in abundance (55.3%) and for its high mineral content, i.e. boron, phosphorus, calcium/magnesium, as well as for keeping the whole body detoxified. Terramin is a pure calcium montmorillonite clay, unaltered, provided by Mother Nature millions of years ago, deposited in the earth in certain locations, with very high electrically charged ionic particles for pulling out toxins, and LEAVING in the body THE TRACE MINERALS NEEDED FOR Bone Re-Mineralization.

CAFFEINE and a high intake of PHORPHORUS as in soft drinks and protein- containing foods like red meat and milk contributes to poor peak bone mass. All of these can pull calcium from the bones and out through the urine. This is often the reason people get up several times a night to urinate.

Vitamin K – Eating animal products i.e. breakfast, lunch and dinner has been linked to osteoporosis and a decline in bone density. Diets with more vegetables and less meat are higher in Vitamin K. Studies on groups of female nurses showed that those who ate green leafy vegetables several times a day had ½ the risk of hip fractures, compared to those who ate the same, one or less times a day. SO EAT THAT RAW KALE, DANDELION ROOTS and the like..!

SOLUTIONS to Building Bone Density

The following is what we have added to our regime. We have included the following items for purchase here, HOWEVER, read ALL the info below before purchasing to make the most informed decisions.
purchase here....

1. MAGNESIUM
Take magnesium in a form that can be completely dissolved in water, so it will absorbed fast. Magnesium is vital towards breaking down the calcium so it can be utilized by the body and to dissolve calcium deposits as well as maintain daily magnesium levels.

2. Osteo Formula & Terramin clay
Remineralize the bones with calcium, magnesium, silica, phosphorus and Boron. Osteo Formula contains calcium/magnesium, silica and Vitamin D, as well as zinc, Vitamin K and manganese.

We also use the Terramin edible clay, which will not only remineralize bones, but detoxify heavy metals. This edible clay powder is very high in silica (55%) includes boron and 60 essential minerals all naturally occurring the way Mother nature deposited them in the ground.
Read about Terramin clay here...


3. STEM CELL NUTRITION - repairs damaged tissue
This is a natural botanical (we cannot use the product name, due to FDA regs) which triggers the release of 3 to 4 million stem cells from OUR bone marrow into circulation in less than one hour.

We take 2 capsules 1 to 2 times a day for a maintenance dosage and anti-aging of the body. Your stem cells migrate and attach to any cells, tissue, cartilage, bone, muscle, organ...anywhere in the body needing repair. Once they attach, they multiply 2 to 3000 times becoming that tissue. Amazing product. More info on Stem Cell Nutrition...

4. MSM
2 tsp two times a day - builds connective tissue & collagen, works as an anti-inflammatory, increases flexibility etc. Some people have increased gas when adding MSM to their regime - so you may want to start with 1/4 tsp 2x a day and increase a little each week.

5. CHONDROITIN AND GLUCOSAMINE WITH MSM
Many people with joint inflammation receive excellent relief from pain using CHONDROITIN AND GLUCOSAMINE - and we have included MSM as well. Double blind studies have confirmed great results which include being almost totally free of side affects. Glucosamine/Chondroitin can take up to 8 weeks to show results…yet well worth the wait if you are needing pain relief. Our Joint Health Formula includes Glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM.

6. REMOVE HEAVY METALS FROM JOINTS
Heavy metals bio-accumulate and can eat away at joints. If you were to have a heavy metals challenge test taken, you may be surprised to find the results showing high levels of mercury, lead, aluminum, arsenic and other metals that do not belong in the body.

Natural liquid zeolite removes heavy metals, chemicals, pesticides and many other poisons from the body and joints. For more info...

7. EAT A HIGH QUALITY DIET and EXERCISE

Eating a high quality diet means switching from the SADD (standard american daily diet) to foods that nourish the body. Animal products i.e. fish, chicken and beef etc. three times a day is very hard on the liver and digestive system, creating a build up of uric acid in the joints (Gout) and creates an overall acidic condition in the body. If you are going to eat these foods, cut them down to a very small portion of your meal. Replacing 80% of the animals products with raw vegetables and other alkaline foods will do many things for the body - provide minerals and vitamins, but also lower blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar, not to mention help you lose weight.

I personally do not like vegetables all that much, but I am wise enough to know their value, so I do eat some. Yet, what I have found to be the most helpful is juicing them. The vitamins and minerals are in the juice not the pulp. So twice a week I purchase an abundance of fresh, raw organic greens and make 4 dark green juices each week. These green drinks are very beneficial in many ways and I end up with 4 times more vitamins and minerals than I would get trying to eat them whole. What We Put in Our Juices...

On days when I cannot get the greens I need, I use Nutrex spirulina tablets and Alkalive green powders or capsules to add to my daily regime. These are available on my shopping cart under Alkalive pH products....


8. GET OUT IN THE SUN - VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY

Due to the fear of skin cancer, we now have a Vitamin D deficiency in our country. Twenty minutes of direct sunlight every day (35 to 40 minutes if you are are dark skinned person) will allow the sun to deliver a hormone to your skin, which the body converts in to Vitamin D. You can also obtain Vitamin D from our Osteo Formula and from Cod Liver Oil - although fish oil can be high in mercury so be aware and perhaps use Norweigan Cod Liver Oil.

REBOUNDER – best exercise for the time available

Along with these, we need to add exercise to maintain bone density. Walking, dancing, going to the gym, whatever you enjoy will help strengthen the bones. For reasons of depression and chronic fatigue, I did little exercise for 20 years. Now I swim, do yoga and hike when I can. However, I get most of my exercise with a REBOUNDER.

The Rebounder is a mini high-quality trampoline which provides the best exercise for the time available, and is so convenient. Many days my schedule does not allow time to get out for exercise, so I gently bounce on the Rebounder for 10 to 20 minutes. I began using the Rebounder four years ago to increase oxygen into my lungs (part of my chronic fatigue problem), only to discover it offered my body many other benefits without having to leave my house.

The Rebounder provides more cellular benefit than almost any other form of exercise. It stimulates every cell in the body simultaneously. It will stimulate the immune system and is incredibly effective at cleansing toxins out of the cells. It will strengthen muscles, in a low impact way, reducing stress on the body, stimulates and clears the lymphatic system helping to detoxify the body…and much more.

Food – Calcium, Vitamin K and Minerals from High Quality Food and Supplementation

To get adequate calcium from food, we have found juicing vegetables to be very effective. Juicing also helps for detoxifying the body. Going organic will reduce the pesticides, herbicides and chemicals being introduced into the body

More Information on Juicing

The vitamins and minerals in vegetables are contained in the juice, not the pulp. Most of us are not going to eat carrots, heads of lettuce and kale, dandelion greens, beets, bunch of cilantro, cucumbers and so on every day. At least no one I know has that much time..! Yet….

….putting all of these vegetables into the juicer and drinking the juice within 30 minutes, will give you an excellent dose of vitamins and minerals. (Good idea to add flax oil, and put a touch of celtic salt on the tongue to better absorb the vitamins & minerals) We also use Nutrex Spirulina Powder in our vegetable juices for protein, beta-carotene and anti-oxidants etc.

When I was detoxing and healing my body, I juiced twice a day for 4 months straight, and ate raw vegetables. Tests showed vitamin and mineral levels increased to healthy levels. I haven't stopped juicing yet…although nowadays it's about 3 to 4 juices per week, and raw vegetables for snacks.

Cooking vegetables greatly reduces the vitamins and mineral content to a minimum….so, try eating them raw. Studies around the world have confirmed top quality fish oil or flax oil to be very useful as a dietary supplement to relieve tender joints and morning stiffness. I personally added MSM and Natural Calm magnesium powder to relieve the tenderness and stiffness in my joints along with the flax oil.

Himalayan Salt and Celtic Salt - There is NO comparison between these Mineral Rich Salts and iodized salt. Himalyan Crystal Salt and Celtic Salt are totally unprocessed and dried by the sun and wind, retaining their vital trace elements.

We have been using Himalayan Crystal Salt or celtic salt for years. We sometimes put tiny amounts on our tongue to dissolve, and use it in our food. We do not add it to cooked food until the food is served, for heating these salts destroys valuable minerals and trace elements. You can often find the celtic salt in the health food store in a bulk bin.

HIMALAYAN CRYSTAL SALT Can Be Purchased Here...

Removing processed food from the diet and replacing with foods in their natural form is a huge plus. The closer a food is to nature, the higher the quality, the higher the vitamin and mineral content.

CONCLUSION

The solution to prevent osteoporosis is building the densest bones possible when we are young. We did not know this until a few years ago, however, thousands of people are making significant changes to their health in mid-life, creating excellent results maintaining bone density. Detoxification, adding adequate magnesium and silica, and eating high quality food will change your overall health in many ways.
