Osteoporosis is the progressive thinning of the bones that takes place when new bone formation does not keep up with bone removal, leaving the bone progressively brittle.
As bone is lost, the skeleton continues to have a normal composition, but it becomes porous, hyper-mineralized and more fragile, leading to spinal deformities (dowager's hump) and painful fractures of the wrist, hip and spine.
Osteoporosis is the most common bone disorder in America. More than 50% of healthy American women aged 30-40 are likely to develop vertebral fractures as they age due to osteoporosis. Unfortunately, today's treatments are only partially successful (at best) once progressive bone weakening has occurred.
It is important to identify women and men who are currently losing bone at an accelerated rate, so that effective treatment can begin when the therapeutic burden is prevention, instead of reversal of bone loss.
Since bone loss is a multifaceted problem, it is important to look at the proper functioning bone cell. The proper balance of Osteoclasts (a cell found within the bone who's function is to form the tissue and minerals that give bone its strength) and Osteoclasts (a very large cell formed in bone marrow whose function is to absorb and remove unwanted tissue) is crucial. There are certain substances released by each function that are easily measured with a first morning urine catch which will allow for the early detection of an imbalance between these cells called osteoporosis.
We have found that toxic heavy metals very often block the proper functioning of the osteoclast, and when removed and the patient's hormones and nutrients are balanced, that the osteoporosis slowly fades away. We have developed an osteoporosis IV therapy that we are having tremendous success with. The hormones must be balanced, and proper mineral and electrolytes are a must.
We always recommend a bone scan as in most cases third parties pay for this and when used in conjunction with the above urine test, we can get the very best answers.
