Rebuilding Bone Structure

[Guest guest]

Hi Health Consumers,

In recent months I have seen the most common concern of people I have

encountered is how to rebuild and strengthen bone structure. As we age this

becomes a more important factor. I am 68 years old and I still run 30 to 35

miles per week. My bone structure has held up, but some of it may have been

due to some nutritional bone building supplements and foods.

The following material was taken from the newsletters of Dr.Bruce West,DC a

chiropractor in California who relies heavily on the nutritional

consumption of live foods to reverse the underlying cascade of problems that

need to

be addressed by supplying the missing nutrients and necessary exercise.

 

Dr.West's protocol is based on the extensive work of Dr.Weston A Price,DDS

in his study Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. See

_www.westonaprice.org_ (http://www.westonaprice.org) for nutritional research

carrying out his

ideas.

 

Dr.Price studied indigenous people throughout the world, who had not come

in contact with the western diet of processed foods.from Alaskan eskimos to

New Zealand Maoris.

In order for calcium to be absorbed it must be accompanied by Vitamin D

which is best gotten from the Sun, but is unavailable in many parts of the

world in fall and winter months.

Cod liver oil used to be a good source, but most Cod Liver oil

manufacturers have taken out the concentrations of Vitamin A and D. Dr.West

recommends

using Blue Ice High Vitamin Cod Liver Oil at 1 teaspoon to 1

tablespoon/day. children can take a teaspoon but adults should get a

tablespoon.

 

He found that all the civilizations had a source of what he called

Activator X found in animal organs.or butters. A Dutch researcher Dr. R.Wulz en

also found that these same butters contained a natural " anti-stiffness "

factor called the Wulzen factor. The product Dr.west recommends containing this

is X-factor Gold High Vitamin Butter Oil. If using the Oil take from 1/4 to

2 teaspoons, or from 1 to 9 capsules if using the capsules. this oil is

semi-solid like butter.

 

These Oils are somewhat expensive, but go a long way in rebuilding bone.

They are made by Green Pastures _www.greenpasture.org_

(http://www.greenpasture.org)

 

 

Dr.West's basic theory is that the usual calcium, magnesium, boron and

Vitamin D taken for building bone is heated to such a high temperature, prior

to formulation into a supplement that it is no longer bio-available to the

body through digestion. In order to build bone you must be able to eat raw

bones and people can't do that. Standard Process Laboratories has used a

method of growing organically raised veal and then processing the raw bones

with a minimum of heat. The product is called Calcifood Wafers, it comes as a

very large pill that has to be chewed thoroughly. If your teeth are not up

to that job, it comes as Calcifood Powder. I use this and I think it is

enough. But if your case is tougher, you may also have to Use some others

also.

The biome building supplements are:

1-Calcifood Wafers- 6 to 9 daily in divided doses with meals eg. 6/3

meals=2/meal or 1 tablespoon Calcifood Powder/day.

2- Cal-Ma Plus, a product used to help with arthritis who cannot get

results from other products, it contains calcium lactate, magnesium and

parathyroid tissue extract. The parathyroid helps regulate the allocation of

calcium in the bones and blood. Take 3 daily in divided doses for 2 months,

then

1 daily for a year, alternating one week on and one week off.

3- Calcium Lactate is a product containing calcium lactate and magnesium in

a 5:1 ratio. It is an easily assimmilable form of calcium. The dosage is

6/day in divided doses with

meals.

3- Glucosamine Synergy- Glucosamine sulfate blended into a matrix of raw

bone nutrition and boswellia serrata( pain relieving herb) helpful for

arthritis. 3 daily divided with meals.

4- Cataplex C- a strong anti-oxidant protecting the body from damage from

toxins and poor digestion.Ingredients include Vitamins C,A,B and

P(Bioflavinoids) as well as calcium organic copper,yeast,buckwheat leaf juice,

alfalfa juice,echinacea, veal bone and adrenal extract. Take 6 daily in divided

doses with meals.

5-Biost is a product from raw veal bone used to help heal bone fracture.

Particularly a non-union bone fracture that won't heal. It is also used for

arthritis pain. Take 6 daily divided dosages with meals for 6 months, then

3 /day for life.

 

Since all these products are food extracts and digestion is of prime

importance I would chew all these products.

 

Standard Process Laboratories products are usually not sold in Health Food

stores, but are distributed through health care practitioners. They are

carried by Willner Chemists in New York City and Atlanta,Georgia.

For Mail orders call 800-633-1106

They are located at 100 Park Avenue at 41st Street tel. 212-682-2817

and at 253 Broadway opposite City Hall in New York City. tel. 212-791-0505

In Atlanta they are at 2900 Peachtree Road,North East tel 404-266-9115.

 

You might be able to do it on your own or if you want to to

Dr.West's newsletter ($39.00/yr) you can contact him by mail. His prices are

somewhat lower than those of Green Pastures and a little more on Standard

Process Laboratories.

 

I use the Cod liver oil from mid September to early April.

 

 

 

 

If your condition is very advanced, it will require greater adherence to

his bone building protocol. Others will be able to get away with fewer

supplements.
