Re: Re: osteopanic resolved

In Laboratory Evaluations in Molecular Medicine it states: "...Aluminum also interrupts calcium exchange, preventing resorption of calcium back intdo the blood and restoration of circulating concentrations of calcium. Aluminum effectively interfers with the normal physiologic control of parathyroid hormone." (p. 64) Have you had your blood tested for aluminum? It can be removed by a metal chelator. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mambo Mambo Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 8:43 AM I feel I need to follow up my postings on osteopenia from one month ago. Seeing that everyone is worried that CR may be the cause of boneloss, I wish to report that osteopenia has nothing to do with CR diet in my case. I have been diagnosed, upon further analyses with hypercalcemia (too much calcium in the blood) the cause of which is hyperparathyroidism. The parathyroid gland puts out too much parathyroid hormone and this can cause leaching of calcium from the bones, too much calcium in the blood and many other maladies such as fatigue, depression, nausea etc.This can be caused by too many glands, enlarged glands or tumorous glands (benign or malignant)Thank heaven I didn't just accept the diagnosis of osteopenia, more calcium and fosamax, but convinced my Docter to test further as my diet is picture perfect, as is my exercise routine with weightlifting etc etc for 25 some years.There is only one thing to do for this and it is immediate surgery to remove enlarged glands, or tumorous glands. I am praying there isn't anything murky as we had thyroid radiation as "standard practice" against goiters when we were kids in the 50's- . Criminals! In those days I also had a skin rash and they nuked my hands as well. My vocabulary isn't large enough to express the contempt and anger I feel.
