Why is osteoporosis a “silent” disease?  The answer is twofold:  First, osteoporosis strikes insidiously.  That is, you could be losing bone mass and not even realize it.   Often, there are no symptoms of osteoporosis until a bone is fractured.  Second, osteoporosis is seldom talked about.  Consider the fact that the annual incidence rate of osteoporotic fractures in women is greater than the incidence rates of heart attack, stroke and breast cancer combined.  This is a serious condition that should no longer be silenced!  Truth be told, in the U.S. today 10 million individuals already have osteoporosis and 34 million more have low bone mass, placing them at increased risk for this disease.  Are you one of them?

Studies suggest that about 50% of women over the age of 50 will suffer a fracture related to bone loss, and one in five patients who have such fractures will die within a year.   Men are also at risk for developing the disease.  More than 2 million American men suffer from osteoporosis. Each year, approximately 80,000 men have a hip fracture and one-third of these men die within a year. What’s more, osteoporosis can strike at any age.

Osteoporosis is too debilitating to ignore!

Osteoporosis can indeed be devastating and is too important to overlook.  If you have never thought about your risk, it’s time to take notice.  In our comprehensive osteoporosis guide, you’ll learn the whole picture:

• How do I know if I am at risk for osteoporosis?
• Why should I take it seriously?
• What causes osteoporosis?
• What are my conventional and integrative treatment options?
• Are bone strengthening drugs safe and do they even work?
• Where can I find an integrative doctor to help me through the maze of options?
• If I choose a natural drug-free treatment approach, what are the major components of that direction?
• Is osteoporosis prevention my only option? Is there hope if I already suffer from its effects?
• How can I get help to make all of this work?

Before you’re diagnosed, you need to understand and appreciate the serious nature of this disease.   Start by asking yourself if you have any risk factors:

1. Does osteoporosis run in your family?
2. If you’re female, are you postmenopausal?  Did you have an early menopause or hysterectomy before the age of 45?
3. If you’re male, do you have low testosterone?
4. Is your diet low in calcium and vitamin D?
5. Do you have an inactive lifestyle and rarely exercise?
6. Have you used corticosteroids on a long-term basis (hydrocortisone or Prednisone)?

Your answer to these and other questions will help you determine if you’re at risk for developing osteoporosis or low bone density. In Osteoporosis Relief:  Natural Remedies for Osteoporosis Prevention and Treatment, we provide you the resources you need to take an honest assessment of your risks.  Our comprehensive guide includes a FREE osteoporosis self-risk test; the higher your score the greater your risk.  Don’t wait any longer – Find out if you may have already begun to lose bone mass!

 

Are osteoporosis medications safe?

Clinical studies confirm that the pharmaceutical drugs used in the treatment of osteoporosis will not work effectively without the nutrients calcium and Vitamin D being supplemented as well. So the conventional approach will include a recommendation for these nutrients, exercise, and bisphosphonates (like Fosamax) – the first-line drug therapy.  But sadly, the drugs most commonly prescribed to treat osteoporosis come with a slew of side effects:  digestive disturbances, severe bone and muscle pain, osteonecrosis of the jaw (a rare but serious condition in which blood flow to the bone is reduced, causing death of bone tissue), inflammation of the eye and even bone fractures.

The point is there are impressive statistics supporting the use of natural therapies that you should consider before you automatically resort to the pharmaceutical alternatives.

Make a plan and don’t “break” it!

Building strong bones should be a lifelong goal beginning in childhood.  In Osteoporosis Relief:  Natural Remedies for Osteoporosis Prevention and Treatment, we give practical solutions to help you conquer this terrible disease:

1. Exercise 

With some strength training exercise squeezed into your busy routine, you’ll feel better and look better and your good muscle tone will help prevent disabling falls and broken bones. In our comprehensive guide, we discuss the safest exercises for beating osteoporosis as well as the dangerous exercises you should be avoiding to prevent injury.

2. Healthy eating 

Making a healthy diet a way of life is a battle for many people.  The key is to learn through practice to actually prefer and choose the healthier choices in your normal daily food intake. However, it’s often a struggle to figure out what foods are actually healthy.  There is so much conflicting information on diets out today!    In Osteoporosis Relief:  Natural Remedies for Osteoporosis Prevention and Treatment, we’ll give you simple solutions and helpful tips for making health eating a way of life for you.

3. Take calcium 

The typical American diet provides far less than the optimum level of calcium per day so many individuals would benefit from taking a calcium supplement.  But, how much calcium should you take and which supplement do you choose?  Our comprehensive guide answers these questions and many more so you can be sure you’re getting the calcium you need for strong, healthy bones.  

4. Take magnesium 

It’s been estimated that up to 80 percent of the population is deficient in this important mineral, according to Carolyn Dean, MD, ND, author of The Miracle of Magnesium.  The way to prevent a deficiency is to keep up a continuous high intake of magnesium – for life! Don’t get behind the eight ball on this one. The stakes are too high.  Our comprehensive guide discusses the critical importance of magnesium intake and the specific amount of magnesium you should be getting daily.

5. Take vitamin D 

You are probably not getting the vitamin D you need.   In fact, most integrative doctors say that when many of their most health conscious patients initially come to them, even they are low in this critical nutrient. Why? Few good food sources exist and most people find it very difficult to get out in the sun on a daily basis for the 15 to 25 minutes per day (without sunscreen) to get the necessary Vitamin D creation.  In Osteoporosis Relief:  Natural Remedies for Osteoporosis Prevention and Treatment, we tell you exactly how to test for a vitamin D deficiency and which type of vitamin D supplement you should choose.

6. Take vitamin K 

Vitamin K is often called the “forgotten vitamin” because it does not seem to get much of the spotlight in the bone building discussion – but it should!  Anyone wanting to improve bone density will need to be sure they are getting enough Vitamin K – otherwise all their other efforts may be in vain.  Two of the most commonly consumed forms of vitamin K include phylloquinone (K1), which is typically found in cruciferous vegetables, and menaquinone (K2), sourced from friendly bacteria.   So, which source should you choose?   Our comprehensive guide answers that question!  We also provide critical information you need to know before you begin a vitamin K supplement.

7. Take strontium 

You might be asking yourself, “What is strontium and do I really need it?”  Strontium is a naturally occurring trace mineral. Researchers from around the world have found that, in therapeutic doses, it dramatically increases bone density and reduces risk for fractures in women with osteoporosis. Thus, the big news here is that supplemental strontium doesn’t simply stop bone loss, but actually increases bone density.   In Osteoporosis Relief:  Natural Remedies for Osteoporosis Prevention and Treatment, will tell you how to get the strontium you need for bone health.

8. Balance your acid and alkaline level 

In the high tech, marketing-driven world of osteoporosis treatments, often overlooked is a straight forward solution that has profound results. That solution would be to balance your body’s pH – the balance between acid and base (alkaline).   Over time, a diet that creates a chronic acidic condition in the body will likely lead to osteoporosis. Trying to improve your bone density without paying attention to body pH is like running bath water without closing the stopper – most of your efforts will go down the drain.  In Osteoporosis Relief:  Natural Remedies for Osteoporosis Prevention and Treatment, we’ll tell you what causes too much acid in the body, how you can know if your body is too acidic, and how you can correct your acid/alkaline imbalance.

9. Make sure you don’t have low stomach acid 

Dr. Jonathan Wright, M.D., a well-known natural healing physician who since 1973 has run a preventive health clinic in Renton, Washington, indicates that 90 percent of his patients with osteoporosis have low stomach acid. And if stomach acid is low, your body won’t be able to absorb calcium, strontium, and other minerals nearly as well, and your results won’t be as good.  Good health is determined not by what you eat but by what you absorb!  In our comprehensive guide, we’ll give you simple strategies to help you determine if you have low stomach acid and tell you how you can increase your stomach acid.

10. Find an integrative doctor who can help you 

Finding the right doctor is the most critical step in your quest to develop good bone health – or any other kind of good health for that matter.  Time and time again, we hear “I can’t find a doctor who knows anything about natural remedies!”  No doubt, it is frustrating trying to find someone who will help you navigate through the vitamin aisle.   In Osteoporosis Relief:  Natural Remedies for Osteoporosis Prevention and Treatment, we’ve tried to make the process easier on you.  We’ll give you the tools necessary to find an integrative doctor and professional associations that can help you on your journey to good health.

The most important thing is that you don’t wait any longer.  Putting off your health is not worth it.   You can take the first step – right now – and fight osteoporosis before it’s too late!   Reclaiming your health takes just one simple click.  Get Osteoporosis Relief:  Natural Remedies for Osteoporosis Prevention and Treatment today and ensure your health, vitality and well-being for many years to come!
