Osteoporosis, VM, and Specific Veggie recommendations

[Guest guest]

Hello,

After a recent bone density scan, I was dx'd at high risk of fracture due to

osteoporosis. I also relatively recently got a VM. My preference is NOT to go

on any meds. I understand that whole vibration therapy/exercise can do wonders

to increase bone density; however, I am unsure what veggies or green smoothies

or other recipes might be a good substitute for drugs. I have checked out Dr.

Mercola's website and found some helpful ideas, however, if anyone has some

suggestions...either VM recipes, or veggies to include, success stories with VM

and osteoporsis, or whatever, lol, it would be greatly appreciated.

Bone broths and a pound of greens per day (I juice mine - you're a better woman than me if you can eat that much with the fiber included :-) will be your best therapeutic foods. They are both excellent bioavailable sources of minerals. Best to get both organic and if buying a pound of greens per day doesn't get you to want to learn how to grow your own greens - I don't think anything will :-) I'm not there yet - but it is high on my priority list!!!

I had a bone density test recently and the result was osteopenia, which means I have some loss of bone density, but as a menopausal woman, that's not unusual. My doctor immediately handed me a brochure for one of the osteoporosis meds. He know's I'm not a pill popper, so I don't know why he wasted the paper! Anyway, I have been reading the book linked below and haven't finished it yet, but based on what I have read so far, there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I would ever take that type of medication. Your bones go through a normal break down and clearing out of old bone, to be replaced with new healthy bone. The biphosphonate medications interfere with that normal breakdown process, so you hold on to that old stuff and there is less and less room for the new healthy bone. So over time, all you have left is mostly old, brittle bone, making you highly susceptible to bone fractures, particularly the femur bone of the thigh. And there's all the other nasty side effects from the medications!

Weight bearing exercise, like walking, helps build bone. If that is difficult, then a rebounder (mini trampoline) is good too, and is doubly beneficial because it moves lymph too.

This is one of the few times you will see me recommend a supplement, since I

think MOST things can be obtained from whole foods in the Vitamix, but I

recommend MRM BONE MAXIMIZER III nutritional supplement (any health food store

should have it, or can order for you) I have an extreme form of ostioporosis

due to the years of steroids I was on to treat lupus, and I also refused the

toxic drugs the docs wanted to put me on (I had over 70 fractures at the time)

My daughter (then 12) was diagnosed with hereditary osteopinia and they wanted

to put her on caustic drugs as well, The MRM totally resolved her issues in 3

months-her twice yearly bone scans have shown no issues since. I had to

discontinue it myeself, due to allergies, but my dexa scan had improved by 2

points when I came off of it-even more of an improvement than is seen with the

script drugs! Even our doctors were impressed, and now they recommend it to

patients who don't want the traditional drugs (DUH...why not just recommend it

anyway) I agree with Lea Ann-bone broths and greens should do the trick to, but

wanted to let you know about the MRM
