Calcium supplementation tripled the risk of fractures

[Guest guest]

Thanks for posting this article. I was brainwashed, as many women are, into

taking calcium pills and eating dairy for strong bones. I ended up with

osteoporosis. That's not supposed to happen with all the calcium I was getting!

My doc at the time I was diagnoses told me I needed MORE calcium and MORE dairy.

Hogwash! I eliminated my calcium pills and dairy products, eliminated most acid

foods (meat, sugar, etc.) and I added lots of calcium-rich foods, alkaline

foods, and an all-natural supplement that builds bone - and I no longer have

osteoporosis.

 

I wonder if doctors really know the secret to being healthy. I think it would

surprise them to know that just because you have osteoporosis doesn't mean your

body is lacking in fosomax.

What all natural supplement for bone building are you taking Carol?

The best way to increase calcium absorption from your diet is to increase your magnesium intake. Looking through "Minerals - the Metabolic Miracle Workers" I see that kelp is at the top of the list with other fruit and vegetables nearly all containing a significant amount of calcium - to absorb it from that food you probably just need to increase your magnesium levels a bit.

I second that, Jane! Magnesium is key, and many people are deficient in it.

 

And along with magnesium, vitamin D is another vital nutrient that's very

important in the metabolism of calcium and the building of strong bones.

 

Direct sun exposure for say 15 minutes or so on bare skin (without suncreen) is

the best way to get vitamin D, otherwise look for supplemental

D3(cholecalciferol.)

Actually most plants have " some " calcium, but I think these have the most:

 

Dark green leafy veggies (such as kale, collard greens, dandelion greens, bok

choy), sesame seeds, almonds, oranges, apricots, pears, raisins, dates, prunes,

dried figs, broccoli, okra, sweet potatoes, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts,

filberts, tahini (sesame seed paste), sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, amaranth,

quinoa, oats, barley, beans, peas, soy products, blue green algae, sprouts,

blackstrap molasses, alfalfa, cayenne, chamomile, lemongrass, paprika, parsley,

peppermint.

 

Calcium absorbed from plant sources is greater than that absorbed from milk.

Dairy is not protective of bones because dairy has a relatively high protein and

salt content. The body utilizes calcium to metabolize both protein and salt.

 

Approximately 1 mg of calcium is needed to process 1 g of protein, and Americans

routinely eat 65 to 100 g or more of protein each day.

 

Some dairy foods, such as cottage and processed cheeses, are so high in protein

and sodium, which also acidifies the blood, that the combination could actually

negate the food's calcium benefits.

 

The body is able to absorb more of the mineral when it comes

from a veggie source because it doesn't come packaged with protein and refined

salt. The body absorbs more calcium from kale and broccoli than from milk.

 

No other mammal drinks milk from its mother after it is weaned, and no other

species drinks the milk of another species.

 

As important as it is to consume calcium rich foods, it's also important to

avoid certain substances that block calcium absorption, or rob calcium from our

bones. Caffeine, salt, phosphoric acid (found in soft drinks and meats) can

contribute to calcium loss through urine. Meats and sugar are acid forming - the

way your body neutralizes the acid is with calcium that your body " steals " from

your bones and teeth. Smoking and high fat intake can inhibit calcium

absorption, while alcohol can leach calcium out of the bones.

 

Somebody asked what bone supplement I take - this is it - www.mystrongbones.com

.. It's a red yeast rice, which you normally associate with lowering

cholesterol. But this particular strain actually has been proven to lay down

new bone. You might be able to find it locally, but I never have. If you buy

just any red yeast rice, then it's probably the wrong strain - it should say

something about bones on the label.

Magnesium, if taken early in the day increases the number of osteoblasts (bone building cells). Then surplus calcium or calcium taken later in the day, will be delivered to the bones as they are being rebuilt during sleep. Vitamin K2 helps with the removal of surplus calcium but that calcium will not be implanted into bone tissue without adequate osteoblasts.

 

This is why magnesium is five times more effective as calcium in reversing osteoporosis.--- On Tue, 5/12/09, NormaWSunshineJ <NormaWSunshineJ wrote:

The problem with dairy products (especially from cow's) is that the form of protein they contain produces a very acid environment in the body which must be quenched by the calcium content. This leaves a net calcium deficit and results in osteoporosis as the deficit is met by using up bone calcium.--- On Tue, 5/12/09, NormaWSunshineJ <NormaWSunshineJ wrote:

You are constantly being advised, by the media, to drink milk, eat low-fat yogurt, or cheese, and other dairy products, and to take calcium supplements and estrogen. Why? To avoid osteoporosis. In this letter we're going to take a closer look at this advice. You'll see that keeping your bones healthy is much more complex than swallowing calcium. And more startling is that taking calcium can cause many other health problems, and doesn't necessarily help your bones. Here's the bad news . . . . . despite taking calcium supplements, getting exercise and taking estrogen, at least 1.2 million women suffer fractures due to osteoporosis every year. And the number of these fractures has been increasing - more than twice as many fractures occur now, compared with 30 years ago. A study by the Mayo Clinic reported that extra calcium supplementation tripled the risk of fractures in some women already suffering from osteoporosis. A 1972 study of autopsies showed a close correlation between osteoporosis and calcification of the abdominal aorta. What this means is the calcium is leaving one place, namely your bones, and ending up in the wrong place - your arteries. According to researchers, osteoporosis is a disease of modern civilization. Skeletons from the 1700's and 1800's have been studied. Scientists found that the women living two to three centuries ago had stronger bones than the women today. In underdeveloped countries, there is also much less osteoporosis with a daily calcium intake much less than ours. So, clearly osteoporosis is not simply a lack of calcium in our diets. the rest of this article can be found: http://www.drgrams.com/calcium.htm «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»§ - PULSE ON 21st CENTURY ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE! §Subscribe send email to: - «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»GREAT VACATION RENTAL ON THE LAKE: www.vacationhomerentals.com/39833
