Building Bone Density
Reversing Calcium DeficiencyCalcium Alone Will Not Build Strong Bones We remineralize our bones with plant and water based minerals derived from the CORRECT SOURCES which will move calcium into the bone cell itself, as long as we are absorbing and assimiliating them from our food. Eliminating excess caffeine, alcohol and ending smoking are also going to keep the bones stronger. I am 54 years myself, my husband 59 with family and friends in the same age group, facing the bone health issue. The question is what can we do to maintain and/or increase our bone density, as well as repair our bones. If we already have bone loss, then we need to supplement with the proper minerals to quickly begin the process of re-establishing the vital nutrients which have been depleted.
Bone Renewal,
Red Desert Clay
and
Devigest
are three items which contain the minerals needed to give the bones adequate support, remove heavy metals from the cells and enzymes to break down the nutrients in our food so we can absorb the vitamins and minerals. However physical movement of the body, obtaining some sunlight or additional D3 is also necessary.
I started slow with the Bone Renewal and eventually increased to the recommended 5 capsules per day along with 1/2 tsp of Red Desert clay two times per day. Devigest I take with each meal. Walking or jumping or dancing, some physical activity that gets us off the couch and away from the computer is needed. Most adults are not absorbing nutrients from their food. When we move into our late twenties we have used up the digestive enzymes we were born with to digest the food we eat, which means we are not receiving the vitamins and minerals needed by the body to sustain bones and the overall health of our body. The bones start losing minerals and often by the time we are in our forties we have osteopenia or osteoporosis. Do Not Take Excess Calcium, Unless You Have Adequate Magnesium To Break The Calcium Down For Assimilation 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 loss and calcium deficiencies. How could this be? Do I love my coffee and sodas more than my bones? Caffeine and phosphoric acid leach calcium into our urine - depleting our bones. You may notice this by how often you get up at night to use the bathroom. I do love my coffee, but I stayed away from it for years (yes, even decaf) while I was healing my body. Caffeine also depletes the Vitamin B's and puts stress on the adrenals. I now use Gunpowder Green tea from Mountain Rose Herbs, which has less caffeine and contains phytochemical compounds which are antioxidants. **Consuming calcium without adeguate magnesium will cause calcium deficienty - read below By the time I figured all this out, my body was already in the ditch..! But not anymore.
• Increased MAGNESIUM / NOT JUST INCREASED CALCIUM and • Removal of heavy metals from the body through detoxification What Is Bone Loss? Bone Loss 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 Red Desert calcium montmorillonite clay as well as Natural Liquid Zeolite.... more about these below. Due to the lack of minerals in the food supply, or in the food choices we make, lack of physical activity, hormone levels dropping, excess caffeine, sugar and alcohol, 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 joints become 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
bone loss. The likelihood of brittle bones occurring can be reduced significantly. OSTEO-PENIA Pre bone loss means thin bones, decreased calcification or bone density. It generally is the term used prior to a more serious 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. STONES in CERTAIN ORGANS - If you have had stones, most of the time these are calcium deposits (not always, but usually). Absorable Magnesium Powder can assist in dissolving calcium deposits.
Magnesium is essential for calcium absorption, working towards dissolving calcium deposits and many, many other body functions. … 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 calcium 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. Mildred S. Seelig, M.D. CALCIUM - The high consumption of calcium ingestion combined with low magnesium levels is a major
factor in bone loss. Magnesium is essential for proper absorption of calcium. Once magnesium reserves are restored...we begin to feel more relaxed, bowel function improves (often constipation disappears), energy is restored, we sleep better and the heart, adrenals and nervous system functions begin to improve. The body systems begin to balance again. Adequate magnesium dissolved in water will assist calcium to assimilate and 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 and deposits itself into the soft tissue, joints, kidneys, arteries etc. It is more helpful to obtain calcium and magnesium from natural sources. Be alert to foods which say: Fortified with Calcium or Vitamin D. These are often not compatable with what the body can utilize. 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 to properly break down the calcium and to dissolve calcium deposits. However if you are deficient, you may want to take additional supplements depending on your condition. (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. If loose bowels are an issue for you, the Mother Earth Magnesium is a wonderful form of magnesium without the laxative effect.

Natural liquid zeolite and the Red Desert®
Clay removes heavy metals, chemicals, pesticides and many other poisons from the body and joints.
For more info... 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... 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 ….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 magnesium powder to relieve the tenderness and stiffness in my joints along with the UDO's 3.6.9 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.
CONCLUSION The solution to prevent or reduce bone loss is doing our best to be sure we are digesting and assimilating the minerals from our food - and of course eating REAL food, nutrient dense food which contains the vitamins and minerals we need to keep the densest bones possible as we age.
