The opinions
of the experts are constantly changing. The correct treatment this
year is often the wrong treatment next year. When choosing an approach,
treatment, or therapy, try to pick the one that poses the smallest
risk of harm. When your done mulling it over in your mind, listen
to your heart before making your decision, because “woman’s
intuition” is invaluable. Always remember, doctors cause more
deaths every year than traffic accidents, so choose carefully.

Almost thirty years ago, while doing research for my Masters thesis in nutrition, I came across some unique research about bones, how they strengthen (re-mineralize), and how they weaken (de-mineralize). I discovered a simple, no-cost, at-home test that could determine whether osteoporosis was present and, if so, monitor its progress. The scientific evidence suggested that osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and arteriosclerosis were all part of the same physiological pattern and should be mostly reversible. These are the solutions that I am going to share with you in this article. Bones As Warehouses Minerals are needed in extra abundance when stressful situations call for additional muscular and neurological activity, and when extra energy is required. The body is careful to store the minerals it needs in balance, which results in the maintenance of bone strength. In fact, when minerals are being re-incorporated into bone, if all the minerals are not present in the proper proportions or ratios, adequate re-mineralization (repair) does not take place. About every ten years we discover another mineral that bones must have in order to re-mineralize, that we previously did not know about. Manganese, Boron, and Silicates are the last three minerals discovered that bones must have to re-mineralize. It seems as if there will always be a new mineral that we discover bones need. Obviously, this can make treatment difficult if there is always some unknown mineral that is required. The Osteoarthritis And Arteriosclerosis
Connection This phenomenon of aging, tissue hardening (mineralization), has been recognized in the medical literature on stress for a long time. The scenario occurs like this: stressful situation creates a need for specific minerals, minerals are liberated from the bones in balance, the needed ones are used, and the remainder are stored in the lining tissues. Theoretically then, osteoporosis (bone de-mineralization), osteoarthritis (joint mineralization), and arteriosclerosis (vascular mineralization), although different diseases, are all part of a common physiological process. Therefore, if the common underlying process is treated instead of the diseases, all three diseases should get better. That, in fact, is what happens. Home Testing For Osteoporosis In order to confirm this information I purchased a micrometer, a tool for measuring very tiny changes in thickness, and started measuring great toenail thickness on my patients. I found that the older you get, the more likely the chance of your great toenails getting thick and hard. With further research I learned that the thickness was due to more calcium accumulation in the nail, and the hardness factor was due more to the build-up of magnesium. I also learned that under proper treatment, great toenails will most often revert back to the thickness and hardness that was characteristic of them in young adulthood. When this happens, people’s symptoms of cold hands and feet, caused by arteriosclerosis, and joint pain, produced by osteoarthritis, seemed to miraculously improve. The best part of this measuring tool is that you don’t need a doctor to monitor your progress. Popular Approach The most common treatments were mega calcium therapy, until we learned we were giving the women who took it leg cramps, rapid heart beat, and then heart attacks. Then we added magnesium to the calcium, and that stopped the leg cramps, rapid heart beat, and heart attacks, but still did nothing significant for the osteoporosis. Finally a group of drugs, based on the success of Fosamax have taken center stage, but if you took the time to read the long term side effects of those drugs you’d never take them. What Works Think about the simplicity of this idea; healthy tissue has all the necessary perfectly balanced biochemical’s (vitamins, minerals, enzymes) that result in health, even those biochemical’s we have yet to discover. Preventics sells this product as Bone 350 Plus. It usually takes between nine months to two years for a noticeable difference to be seen in the great toenails because they grow so slowly. Standard bone density X-ray examination results correlate well with the changes in great toenail thickness.

The FDA did it again. Instead of scrutinizing the scientific literature, which would have uncovered a sufficient volume of research to have already caused most of the industrialized world to reject silver (mercury) amalgam fillings for pregnant women and women of child bearing age, and many countries to abandon it altogether, the money and influence of the American Dental Association (ADA) has won out again. Tens of millions of Americans still receive silver/mercury fillings each year because the ADA doesn’t want to admit it has been wrong, lose face, and become liable for the grand-daddy of all class action suits. Let me make this absolutely clear, THERE IS NO SAFE LEVEL FOR MERCURY IN OUR TISSUES. The government has determined that a level of a toxic substance is safe if our government scientists find a certain level in our tissues, and in animal tissues, with no obvious associated disease at those levels, and then they label those levels as safe. Mercury attacks, among other things, the gut portion of the immune system (2/3 of the immune system), and therefore indirectly contributes to the increase in cancer, allergies, and many other immune-compromised conditions that are so prevalent today. Heavy metals like mercury kill most of us VERY slowly, and if a substance is a know poison that has a history of killing tens of thousands as is the case for mercury, no level should be considered safe or acceptable, especially in the bodies of our children. It’s time to make a stand, and I would suggest that if you see a dentist who still prefers amalgam because it is easier to use, or the ADA says it’s OK, switch, but let him/her know why when you do. There are lots of dentists who stopped using amalgam long ago, and it takes a few phone calls to find one but it’s worth it. I had my amalgams removed years ago, and have experienced an improvement in health as a result. Think about it, is any amount of poison in a child’s body OK? Top |
