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.Replied by Mary (Regina, Saskchewan) on 05/29/2010
Hello: thanks for all your diligent research. wondering if you could tell me more about this herbal bone and tissue, and also what exactly is in it and in the herbal calcium? Also did you know how much radiation we get when we get a bone density scan?
Thanks alot.

I am interested to know more about herbal calcium, and herbal bone and tissue mentioned. Does the dexa scan for osteoporosis have radiation risks if done once a year in order to check on bone density changes?

I typed in herbal calcium on the internet and discovered a product made of plant calcium by a company called Dr. Christopher, who also makes an herbal bone and tissue product.Replied by Gerrit (Abbotsford, Bc) on 03/08/2018

On Monday I came accross your old post on Osteopenia, because my daugter said she was diagnosed with it in her neck, she being blood type "O" and the risk factors for ulcers and inflammatory diseases such as arthritis increase if you eat incorrectly for your type according to" eat right for your type" book. I figure I ask Janet and perhaps she will let me know if that is her case as well.
Thanks
