Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hi, I just joined this group. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with alternatives in treating osteoporosis. I already take calcium, magnesium and D as well as other vitamins. I had been on Fosomax for about a year or so, then went off of it. I prefer not to be on any drugs. I was also diagnosed a few years ago with a form of Celiac (dermatitis herpetiformis). I have a feeling that the gluten allergy probably contributed it the onset of the osteoporosis. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks, Peggy in NJ Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hi Peggy, Osteoporosis is a system condition caused by too much acid. Monitor your urine and saliva with pH strips to verify your condition. Your pH should be over 6.8 for either test. If not, you are overly acidic. To become more alkaline, eat lots of dried figs, cucumbers, lettuce, and raisins. Also, take 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) in a glass of water three times per day. This regimen will not only clear up osteoporosis, but will address any fungal issues that you may have. For more information, see http://www.alkalizeforhealth.com .

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Peggy, have you had your hormone levels checked? I found out my estrogen was very low and that can cause bone loss. I just started bioidentical hormones to see if this helps so I do not yet.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Precaution: Baking Soda can cause its own set of problems. Never take it except on an empty stomach. It will interfere with your digestive process. In any case, keep in mind that the best way to raise pH is though a careful diet, not intervention, in the long run. Short term, this may be the best solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I didnn't knowo that baking soda causes stomach problems. Where did you hear that? I guess nobody told me so it didn't upset my stomach. A year or so ago, I had a very sore shoulder and arm and nothing seemed to help it, not even transdermal magnesium. And the pain was very bad, so bad I even decided to try the drug route and took anti-inflammatories. Anyhow a friend of mine whom is a practicing nurse but also does reseach in alternative health told me to try taking baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon every 4 hours - no more then 6 times in 24 hours. So did and was pleasantly surprised as it did work. And it was the only thing that did. I am active in several groups for Enviromental illnesses including myuultiple Chemical Sensitivities [MCS]. And those with MCS often take half of a teaspoon or more of baking soda mixed with vitamin C in water to minimize reactions to chemicals. But I have never heard that it bothered anybody's stomach or anything else. [ certainly has never bothered mine either] Even 2 different Environmental doctors I know tell their patients to take baking soda. On the other hand baking soda is very good at absorbing ordors so maybe the stuff that you took that botthered your stomach was not organic plus/or had absorbed some chemicals when it was in your home or just sitting on the shelf????? But I agree that using baking soda to alkaline your body is not the only way to go - unless one is going to work against oneself, it would be good to try eating more alkaline foods; though that can get complicated. For example, some foods that are acidic are actually alkaline if they are organic and not pasterized such as milk, etc. There are several foods that are one thing after being processed in some way or even with chemicals sprayed/added to them, and another things when eaten organic. But anyways, if a person is going to seriously try to change their ph, they should learn first how to check their ph orally as well as in the urine. If you make the body too alkaline it can create a host of other problems............... blessings Shan , Jim Clark <huuman60 wrote: > > Precaution: Baking Soda can cause its own set of problems.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I was diagnosed with osteopenia and my Dr. recommended a strength training course. I take it two hours a week, and my bone scan is back to normal. Others in the class have had similar results, even with osteoporosis.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I think strenght training can help if you do not currently do that, but I had osteopenia and work out with weights at least 5 days per week and now I have osteoporosis. So it just depends on what is causing the bone loss. Christie , " JANET LEWIS " <jlewis783 wrote: > > I was diagnosed with osteopenia and my Dr. recommended a strength training course.
