Natural Treatment For Osteoporosis Is Possible

If you’re looking for a natural treatment for osteoporosis, you may have been having side effects from prescription medications. You might also be afraid of side effects from prescription medications, and rightfully so. One of the top side effects is necrosis of the jaw, a painful condition where the jaw tissue starts dying.

You might also be in the growing group of people that refuse to do anything for their body unless it’s natural.

Whichever group you are in, you’re making a smart move to go for natural treatment for osteoporosis because it can be done.

I’ve treated dozens of people for osteoporosis with nutrition, one of the most natural treatments for osteoporosis there could ever be. What goes into your mouth ends up in your body; it becomes your tissues and organs. So if you’re not putting in prime quality foods and nutrients, you can’t possibly expect to have organs and tissues that are operating at optimum capacity. They’ll be screaming out for help because they need nutrients.

17 Nutrients Needed To Overcome Osteoporosis

The bottom line on osteoporosis is that you don’t only need calcium for your bones. Thinking that this is enough is like thinking that your baby only needs socks for his clothes wardrobe. “You need 17 nutrients for improving bone density” is what one of my nutrition professors, Dr. Sudha Mehta, told us repeatedly while she lectured us.

The Next Top Nutrients in This Natural Treatment for Osteoporosis

The second most important bone nutrient is vitamin D. The problem is that most people are deficient in vitamin D, and it takes three full months at 10,000 IU vitamin D per day to get the level where it’s supposed to be. Without enough vitamin D in your blood, you can’t absorb calcium.

Phosphorus is important for the mineral salts to form in the bone. Interestingly, most calcium supplements are missing this important nutrient. Any nutrient that is missing from a supplement will eventually end up as a deficiency you experience.

Silica is also important. Often when people have non-healing fractures, the missing ingredient is silica. I’ve seen this multiple times. By providing adequate silica to the body (2 heaping tablespoons mixed in liquid daily), then the bones heal fast. The silica strengthens the connective tissue in the body.

Boron is also important for bone health. Boron is needed for the body to make hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. Bone density increases faster when these hormones are at levels much higher than what occurs when women are in menopause. Boron is also important for metabolism of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus.

Magnesium is important for calcium to be absorbed in the body.

Strontium is important for cells called osteoclasts to break down the bad bone in the body. The ‘bad’ bone means the bone cells that are older and dysfunctional.

Other Nutrients That are Important for Bone Health

Here’s a list of some of the other nutrients that are also associated with bone health:

* Vitamin C – Builds collagen that holds bones together

* Essential fats – Necessary for bone structure

* Zinc – Builds collagen that holds bones together; Essential for the formation of osteoblasts and osteoclasts

* Manganese – Another nutrient for collagen synthesis; Also needed for cartilage

* Vitamin A – Important for the formation of bone-building cells

* Vitamin K – Helps manufacture the bone matrix

* Copper – Important for bone formation

* Folic acid – This B vitamin acts as a detoxifier of homo-cysteine, which contributes to osteoporosis
