Recently several people have contacted me with questions about heartburn and GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) and how to stop taking the acid inhibiting drugs that they’ve been on for years. That launched me into a research project and what I found alarmed me. Prolonged ingestion of acid inhibiting drugs can contribute to the development of…
So far we’ve covered osteoporosis from 13 different aspects and there’s still so much more wonderful information to glean. A person who has experienced a problem and developed a passion to find answers for it often becomes a go-to expert on the subject. Such is the case for Vivian Goldschmidt. Surprised to discover…
Vitamin K Best known for its influence on proper clotting in the body, especially in newborns, vitamin K also plays a vital role in bone health. It acts as a co-factor to produce osteocalcin, a bone protein that becomes an integral part of the bone. Vitamin K has two parts; K1 which mainly activates the…
When it comes to nutrition for healthy bones of course the most important source of bone healthy nutrients should come from the food we eat. The calcium and other minerals in fresh vegetables contain lots of cofactors that help in the assimilation of these minerals into the bone. And the form of minerals in food…
On our journey through the osteoporosis prevention and reversal saga we’ve covered some not-so-well-known topics like toxicity and natural hormone therapy. In this chapter of the saga we will encounter a more well-known recommendation, exercise. But perhaps you will learn some new and more specific techniques of exercise that apply to dealing specifically with…
In Dr. John Lee’s study of osteoporosis he discovered that bone mass stays relatively constant from puberty to a few years before menopause by the balance of osteoclast function (break down of old bone) and osteoblast function (formation of new bone). However, in the years just before and post-menopause estrogen deficiency results in increased…
Why use natural progesterone to reverse osteoporosis? Won’t the progestin drugs work the same? How does natural progesterone differ from the progestins (synthetic drugs that mimic some actions of the human-body-produced progesterone)? Hormones proceed through metabolic pathways in their production. Progesterone holds a pivotal place in that pathway which starts with cholesterol. (See,…
Another big “secret” that everyone really should know (but somehow they don’t)! Osteoporosis responds well to hormones, but there’s more to the hormone story than estrogen alone. Bone building and remodeling involves other hormones in a dance, a biofeedback with one another. Estrogen modulates the breakdown of bone, preventing it from breaking down…
Would you like to know an amazing secret about reversing osteoporosis that very few doctors know? Have you hit the wall in battling your thin bone problem? It’s very frustrating isn’t it? You’re doing everything that your doctor tells you; take calcium, exercise, take your osteoporosis medication and your bones still are not…
After reading Osteoporosis 4 – Never Reversed Without Detoxification you now know that it’s really tough to get the calcium and other minerals back in your bones without getting the toxic metals out first. Those poisonous heavy metals block the uptake of minerals into the cellular bone building structure. So, let’s get specific about…
