Osteoporosis: The Facts I Didn't Know
My name is Kim Durham from Davis, Illinois. In the spring of 2002 I suffereda back injury with two compression fractures. I was diagnosed with severe Osteoporosis. SinceI was not interested in taking prescription medications (the side effects are tooserious), I searched for alternative medicine. I did my research about Osteoporosis and found outmany facts. Osteoporosis is a loss of excess calcium in your body. Some of the reasonsfor losing calcium include the following: heredity, being small framed, early Menopause,medications, eating excessive amounts of meat weekly (it takes calcium to digest meat and ifthere is not enough in your system it uses calcium from your bones), smoking, alcoholism,not enough exercise, being deficient in some vitamins/minerals, estrogen hormone therapy,and fluoride. Just some of the symptoms of calcium loss include: being very restless,sleeplessness, aching legs, severe muscle cramps, dry skin/psoriasis/eczema, hair falling out(very dry), bleeding gums, and teeth are loose or falling out. I found that I needed to eat a calcium-enriched diet and maybe use somesupplements. I did more research about calcium and the different forms of it. I feel the bestkinds to use are citrate and carbonate. Citrate is the most absorbable and can be taken withor without food. Carbonate is not as easily absorbable, so this is best taken on a fullstomach (you have to have stomach acid to help break down calcium, and carbonate requires morethan citrate). Remember this so you do not take any antacids with calcium. The antacids reducethe stomach acid needed for the calcium, so you usually end up with worse stomachindigestion. Some of the other minerals that are needed are Vitamins A, D, and C, magnesium and somephosphorus. I also found that exercise is needed. Weight-bearing exercises at least4-5 times per week like walking, jump rope, and muscle strengthening. This helps increasebone density. I was introduced to new anti-aging products using a Human Growth HormoneStimulator and an All-in-One Female Formula (which has vitamins, minerals, herbs, immuneboost, and detoxifiers). Together these products cleared up all of my symptoms and stoppedmy bone loss naturally, with no side effects. My bone density is starting to increase and Ifeel stronger and no longer have soreness in my back. Because I have taken control of my own health and found products that areworking, I feel better now than I have in 20 years. Alternative medicines work by giving backyour health - not covering it up.---Kim Durham Contact: 815-248-4534 for information on Orenda International products.
