The change in bone density were also significant different (P < 0.05). It seems that BSMGY is able to prevent the bone loss in postmenopausal women.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I have helped many peole regain their bone density and recover completely from osteo-porosis/penia. I'd like to briefly get on my soapbox and mention that the more we buy into western medicine the less we'll be able to do. Who says osteoporosis can't be reversed? The people who can't reverse it obviously. Ok, off soapbox. Anne, forget calcium and mag etc. They can help, but they are bandaids. The solution out of osteo lies in the dx of CM patterns. Again, as far as cal-mag go, you can dump as much as you want into your body and it will not affect two crucially important things: 1. the natural maximum rate of bone growth, and 2. your personal over-expenditure of Nutritive Qi and Yin/Jing. If you'd like to provide us with your CM pattern information, I am sure we can come up with a plan that has nothing to do with a cal-mag supplement or vit D (which you should be getting from sunbathing anyway).

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Anne, Yes there are foods that can prevent absorption of calcium, recommend taking it away from meals unless this brings on discomfort. Probably the number one thing here, is weight bearing exercise, as this helps the bone remodel itself under stress. Many women avoid this form of exercise though. Michael W.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Anne, I would agree with Hugo 100% about the key being to treat based upon your specific differential diagnosis. But I also strongly feel that the role that insufficient magnesium plays in osteoporosis should not be underestimated, nor should it be considered a bandaid. Magnesium delivers calcium to the bones. No other nutrient does that. and on the contrary, without magnesium, calcium accumulates vascularly and poisons the body. Of course, as we have spoken of before, and as I have been taught by our wise colleagues on this list, the right vehicle can make a major difference. Over the past year or so I have been encouraging my patients with osteoporosis to take Magnesium glycinate along with specific dietary modifications (less animal protein which tends to promote bone loss), increased exercise (walking 300 minutes per week, minimum, on a daily basis) and, of course herbs. --- On Fri, 6/19/09, Hugo Ramiro <subincor wrote: Hugo Ramiro <subincor Re: Osteoporosis Chinese Medicine Friday, June 19, 2009, 6:24 AM I have helped many peole regain their bone density and recover completely from osteo-porosis/ penia.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 You're most welcome Deb. I love to help ;o) In regards the Lemon Egg Formula. This will go a long ways to preventing AND reversing the condition. Adding Vit D3 would also contribute to your never getting Osteo. Good on ya for giving up the coffee. This will also help. The only other thing I'd do would be to ensure you're not eating too many acid ash foods. I'll post my pH chart as an attachment to this response. In Knowledge, Health and Freedom, Doc Debra Garrett wrote: .. Hi Doc, I wanted to again say thank you for all of your wonderful advice over the years. Your advice has been so helpful to me and my family. We have escaped so many health “pitfalls” because of your efforts in sharing with us how to be responsible for our own health. Thank you._ My question today is on Osteoporosis. I had a bone density test done several years ago that said I have a 90% chance of developing Osteoporosis. Horrors. Not good. If I were to add the “Lemon-egg formula” with adding Vit D3 (or does it need to be a different “D?) to my morning drink routine, would that reverse it? I gave up coffee 4 years ago when I realize it took calcium from ones bones. When I was a child I had 13 broken arms due to brittle bones. Three years ago I had a broken toe that took forever to heal. What else can I do to shore up the bones? Blessings!!
