Medicine wants you to think that curing a health problem like osteoporosis is difficult . It is always beneficial for the drug companies that you not understand how your condition developed and how to go about reversing it without their drug . In working with patients and clients, I commonly say, “The number one killer of Americans is not heart disease or cancer or osteoporosis…the number one killer of Americans is misinformation.” So what misinformation am I referring to?

Myth #1 – Osteoporosis is a certainty. In fact, as reported by the Surgeon General, only 17% of women will ever incur a fractured hip (the most devastating break associated with osteoporosis). Another 15% will develop vertebral fractures and yet another 16% will develop a fracture of the forearm . Totaled , that is less than 50% of the population. Those statistics are still too high , but I just want you to know that it is not definite .

Myth #2 – Osteoporosis occurs with age ; you are not able to preclude it, much less reverse it. Osteoporosis is generally an artifact of lifestyle, rather than age. It is true that we lose bone as we age , however, this does not have to translate into a greater risk of fracture. Which brings us to the next example of misinformation…

Myth #3 – Bone density is what determines fracture risk. I spend a good deal of time teaching people  why their bone density can not determine fracture risk. Bone quality is much more important.

I believe that there are natural solutions to osteoporosis, in fact, I believe the natural approach is the only way to successfully reverse osteoporosis. So how do you cure osteoporosis?

1. You dedicate yourself to the cause of curing your osteoporosis by entering into a contract with yourself to do everything that is necessary to promote healthy bone.

2. You immediately start taking the right products which includes a “bone mineral formula” (not just calcium), vitamin D3, and vitamin K2, to name a few. A “Bone Mineral Formula” is a product that includes calcium, magnesium, boron and other important trace minerals. Remember, trying to build bones with calcium alone is like trying to build a house with only wood, no nails, plaster, brackets, etc. It can’t be done. Vitamin D is a critical piece of the puzzle. Have your doctor test your vitamin D levels, a standard starting dose is 2,000 iu daily.

3. You start eating the healthy foods which promote healthy bones. The most basic rule that I can give you here is to eat three times as much fruits and vegetables by weight as you eat animal protein.

4. Start a welldesigned exercise program that includes aerobic activity, resistance activity, and stretching. By far, the most important exercise is resistance training, you need to strain the bones to get the body to want to build them stronger.
