I have severe osteoporosis and was put on an anti-inflammatory. Within 3 months, my kidney function dropped to 40% and a friend showed me how to make Turmeric Golden Paste. I did feel the difference, however I lagged making my second batch until the pain was unbearable.
On 1/4 teaspoon morning and evening, I still had a lot of pain. So, the doctor prescribed Celebrex and it helps a lot. However, I also want to take the Golden Paste.
Any advice?
Thank you,
Vania
Strontium Helping Osteoporosis But Calcium Dangerous Janet S-Dell (San Diego California) on 01/22/2023
While many people seem to be helped with the addition of calcium, I was not. How I found out my Osteopenia had progressed to Osteoporosis is that I tripped on an electrical cord and fell and had to have an x ray on the bone just below my left knee and found I had a fracture. The Dr. put me in a soft cast and on 600mg of Calcium a day (as well as having to use crutches). Next, to make a long story short...with a few weeks later after taking my 600mg of Calcium a day, I woke up in the middle of the night screaming in pain if I moved my left leg even a few inches and the top of my left knee had swollen to the size of an oversized baseball. Long story short....I ended up in the ER room and had to have the left knee drained of the fluid with a very long needle into the knee...not fun I can assure you! To make matters worse, I was now on crutches and the same thing happened in my right knee and had to go thru the same ER room needle draining process again.....only to finally find out I had Pseudo gout brought on by taking too much calcium. At least draining the fluids did stop the pain and so did the meds the Dr. gave me, but I wanted to know how to heal the fractured bone below my left knee in as short a time as possible as well as what I could take to help my pre Op.
This horrific experience led me to be finally diagnosed a few months later with Osteoporosis. My Dr then wanted to start me on meds for the Op that I'd read were for many led to long term worse problems. All this led me to do my own online research on research. One of the web sites I read that helped me find what ended up helping reverse my Op was a google search for "the bone lady blog" If you have Op or the pre Op, I'd suggest you read it and see if it will be a help to you too.
On that web site(on google look for "the bone lady blog") I read about the long term problems associated with the meds that are regularly given for Op and about another treatment with taking Strontium that had been used in Europe and what women were now taking that had successfully revered Op in a number of women. I decided to try the Strontium and my Dr. agreed to hold off on his demands that I take various drugs until we could see if the Strontium did indeed work for me. I started to Strontium II by AOR that I bought on Amazon. I took 2 caps daily for 6 months when my Dr. had xrays and DEXA scans rerun on me and he felt that the Strontium was working well for me and was stopping the progression of the Op and as of my last DEXA scan, of the 3 scanned locations, 1 location has totally reversed the OP, 1 has stopped making any progress at all the the 3rd is neutral.
So I suggest to you if you have pre Op or Full blown Osteoporosis is I did/do....I'd suggest you at least read this research and see if Strontium is something you that you'd like to try to see if it will help you as it's helped me. I'm 77 and am still reasonably active for a person of my age and the only pain meds I take is 2 Tart Cherry caps a day to make sure I keep at bay the pseudo gout that I came down with when I got my leg fracture from eating too much Calcium and 2 Strontium caps a day. I've learned and now I try hard to consume no calcium at all. I hope that info helps someone as much as it's helped me!

Hello!
I have a concern regarding high dose Ascorbic Acid. I have been taking high dose close to bowel tolerance for several years. A recent DexaScan shows osteoporosis and I am wondering if the Ascorbic Acid could be causing too much acidity thus contributing to the osteoporosis. I am getting mixed answers since some people don't believe that the ascorbic acid does cause acidity. I see many benefits by taking around 12-16 grams of ascorbic most days and would like to continue.
I am now including borax and drinking home made bone broth with collagen daily and I make my own natto for K-2, as well as taking a Super K blend. I take around 800mg of magnesium and D3, A, and many other vitamins. Just today started with Bone Up by Jarrow.
But I am mostly interested in whether the ascorbic acid could be counter alkalizing, as I am learning that a more alkaline diet is best for osteoporosis. I would appreciate the wisdom of the group!
Thank you! ðð¼

I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in my 30s, apparently due to lack of sunlight/vitamin D.
After a lot of research, I discovered a group of scientists had made a study on calcium found in nopal cactus powder.
I'm going to add a link to the article, I hope it's not a problem. They don't sell anything and neither do I.
I've been taking about 15 grams of nopal cactus powder every day with no side-effects.
I bought dry nopal powder, it had no other ingredients, if you can't find it, you might get some results with the capsule form of the powdered nopal.
So, I poured one spoonful of the powder in 3 cups of water, added salt and powdered onion, and let it boil for a few minutes. I would drink about half of the "soup" after meals, I didn't drink all of it on a single day because I felt it was too much.
You can of course adjust the amount of powder/water you consume.
Unfortunately during the pandemic, I no longer went to see if my bone density had improved. If I ever find out again, I'll let you all know.

I started taking a supplement, which is calcium from seaweed and strontium together with many other minerals (boron, magnesium..). I also started doing safe exercise daily (walking for half an hour or more). I took collagen and magnesium every single morning and night with a little orange juice and, mostly important, eliminated gluten from my diet. I had already eliminated dairy years before.
This year I had a very high improvement of bone density, my doctor couldn't believe it! I still am taking all this things because I still have osteopenia but my osteoporosis is disappearing slowly and I feel great!
Please look up calcium from seaweed because the body assimilates it properly. The strontium helps and the collagen and magnesium are very very important for strong bones.

For many years she had been complaining of pain in the lower abdomen. Scans and clinical examinations showed no problem. She was put on painkillers and she was also put on Vitamin D3 supplements that on testing had become acutely toxic.
Recently a BDM test was prescribed. The report shows her to be acutely osteoporotic with a T score of (-5.7)
He has prescribed Bonista that is a Ranbaxy drug administered in a sub cutaneous injection through the same kind of pen like device as in the case of insulin/diabetes shots. I think its Teriparatide and the popular brand in the US is called Forteo.It is some hormone based therapy to be self administered for 18 months. I have got to know that it does not suit all and may have serious side effects. Don't know if this is true. Am mailing all the details to you simply to give you the complete picture and also to take your opinion regarding the same. She is on high BP medication.
I am giving her SBL's Biochemic salt 'Magnesia Phosphorica' 6x - 4 pellets - four times a day. She is also taking half a cup of freshly extracted juice (unboiled) of Tinospora cordifalia stem as well as leaves (Giloy), a tablespoon juice of fresh Ocimum sanctum - Indian basil (Tulsi) and 1/3rd cup of fresh Aloe Vera gel. And three four curry leaves and some fresh ginger. Besides this she is also taking two tablespoons of Unsulphurated organic Blackstrap Molasses and Brag's organic Apple Cider Vinegar with the mother. She is a complete vegetarian. Her T score is very low. Is there something that we can do to help her? Also, I wish to know that nothing in the list of what I am giving her could harm her in any way. Would be grateful for your response.
Thank you.

Hi Ted, I'm reaching out to you in desperate need of your advice regarding the Borax protocol. Please allow me to start by giving you a brief overview of my current health condition. I'm a 65 years young woman who lives a conscious lifestyle and works out daily by lifting weights, power walking, and a lot of cardio exercise. Below please find some of the health concerns I'm trying to overcome at this moment.
I learned about the Borax treatment and decided to take it after much research and consideration, first following the mild formula of Dr. Rex Newham (1 tsp / 1 Lt of water) to continue later on with the dose you suggest. I was able to take the mild solution for 2 weeks (Monday through Friday at lunch time) sadly having to stop at the beginning of my 3rd week. On a separate note, I would like to let you know that I practice urine therapy; however, I suspended it during my 2 weeks of treatment.
The first 2 days of my treatment my blood pressure went up for approximately 30 minutes going back to normal eventually. Unfortunately, the second Monday of my treatment my blood pressure went up to 180/70 accompanied with a strange buzz in my head. I monitored my blood pressure constantly that day and it was only after a couple of hours that it went back to normal. I got scared by the reaction so I suspended the treatment all along. I am very sad to have had to stop the Borax treatment because I was starting to feel better. I was hoping to get rid of osteoporosis once and for all and the pain on my knees so that I can start running.
About one week after discontinuing the treatment I had a extremely painful arthritis flare up on my left hand with inflammation, swelling, stiffness that lasted more than ten days. Ted, what should I do to safely continue with the Borax? Do you recommend me to continue with my urine therapy while taking the treatment?
Also what do you recommend to controlled the huge appetite I developed while taking the borax? I look forward to your reply and thank you so much for your commitment to helping others.
Kind regards.

This helpful article is a non-technical review of the evidence but, nevertheless, covers all the ground necessary for helping people to understand the many reasons for osteoporosis occurring in the body.

From the Abstract: "Bone mineral density increased with increasing phytate consumption. Multivariate linear regression analysis indicated that body weight and low phytate consumption were the risk factors with greatest influence on bone mineral density. Phytate consumption had a protective effect against osteoporosis, suggesting that low phytate consumption should be considered an osteoporosis risk factor.

I continued taking the H2O2 but at 6 drops 3x a day. To my horror, after taking it for about 6 months, the back of my hands got all red and thin skinned (super sensitive). Would bleed very easily. After a year and lots of expensive medication, I finally got my hands back to normal condition. My question: Do you know if Hydrogen Peroxide would help me with Osteoporisis in my arm? I have a permanent metal bar in the arm because of this. Thank you.
