Osteopenia Remedies
"Osteopenia is a condition where bone mineral density is lower than normal. It is considered by many doctors to be a precursor to osteoporosis. However, not every person diagnosed with osteopenia will develop osteoporosis. More specifically, osteopenia is defined as a bone mineral density T score between -1.0 and -2.5.[1]"

Thank you,

05/10/2010: Janet from Benton Harbor, Michigan replies: "I was diagnosed with "osteoporosis" about 18 years ago. I took all the different meds you hear so much about including hormones. I was told that each one was the best thing since sliced bread. Only to find out by the doctors, themselves that most were doing harm to my body instead of good. As it turned out these meds were NOT working as well as planned anyway. (along with all the side effects)and decided I would find a natural way...........I read and researched anything I could get my hands. I talked to many, many naturalists, herbalists, and healthfood store employees/owners...........I stopped taking the meds for two years before I started my new plan........For starters I got a bone density test one year after I "stopped" the meds for osteoporosis..........I took herbal calcium, herbal bone and tissue, and 4,000 to 6,000 i.u. of vitamin D daily. Exactly 1 year later I had another bone density test done...........My numbers had gone from "Osteoporosis" to "Osteopenia" in just one year. I was doing cartwheels I was so happy............You MUST always have your density tests done on the same machine each time because machines can be calibrated a little differently. This way it is more acurate and will show progress (or degress)more accuratly.....It's only been 1 year so I am still watching my progress carefully just in case, but I am VERY hopeful about this....TO START:
(1) get bone density test done
(2) get vitamin D test to see
where your D level is( this
should be done every
6 to 12 mo.to keep it at
at the right level.
(3) start the herbal calcium
(4) start the herbal bone & tissue
(5) start vitamin D, 4,000 to 6,000 i.u.daily.
(get a good one)
You can do the research.
(6) walk or lift weights 20 to 30
minutes 3 or 4 times /week.
the more the better."

Thanks, Ethne"
