Treat Osteoporosis - By: Aldrich alfred

Most people believe Osteoporosis is a disease that is dependent solely on estrogen and calcium. Studies are now showing Osteoporosis can be slowed, (not stopped), thru the use of calcium supplements and hormone therapy in menopausal women.

A simple mineral called strontium has been shown in repeated studies to be 170% as effective as Fosamax! And, you won't have the side effects that the "wonder drug" Fosamax causes. Fosamax is far too expensive when there is such a proven and safe alternative.

Doctors often prescribe drugs to treat osteoporosis. While these can be effective, they only treat the symptoms of the problem - not the cause. Because of this, there is no conventional medical cure. There is no pill you can take, or magic liquid you can inject, that will cure your osteoporosis. You need to attack the heart of the problem.

When the disease is in the later stages the fragile bones caused by it often result in a fracture of some type, especially broken wrists, hips and spinal bone, and these fractures can have serious consequences.

Fractures in seniors can lead to severe pain and loss of mobility as well as limiting the lifestyle of the person affected. Even after a fracture has healed the pain may be considerable and the challenge is to cope with this pain as effectively as possible.

Although it is a part of the natural aging process, but in some individuals this process is very fast. The main factors responsible for this are calcium deficiency and hormonal changes in the body.

Not only have I got a fear of anesthetic, but I was afraid of taking the drugs the doctor was insisting upon which would help the fibroids shrink to make the surgery less dangerous because they had a dreadful list of side effects which included hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis, thinning vaginal tissues and the appearance of wrinkles on the face. Great! Not only was I going to lose my uterus, but my youth too!

This is a common cause of fractures in the elderly. Thinning of the bones leads to increased risk of fractures, particularly of the lumbar vertebrae, wrist, hip, shoulder and the femur, or thigh bone. It is possible to prevent and to treat osteoporosis. However, you must take action.

Well, that title does put the pressure on, doesn't it? Medicine wants you to believe that curing something like osteoporosis is complicated. It is always in the best interest of the drug companies that you not understand how your condition develops and how to go about reversing it without their drug.
