Osteoporosis/Silica

I wrote a post and a blog in 2019 about Osteoporosis and how best to address this condition. This is one of the top 10 questions I get asked about regularly, as well as one of the most fear-producing conditions for women as we age.

And there needs to be more clarity on how best to treat and the causes...

According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, osteoporosis causes two million broken bones and $19 billion in related healthcare costs annually. Currently, nearly 54 million Americans are living with osteoporosis.

osteopenia means 10% reduction in BMD and osteoporosis means 25% reduction in BMD

“Healthy bone to osteopenia, to osteoporosis, it’s just a continuum, but osteoporosis and osteopenia are distinct in the degrees to which BMD has been reduced.”

There are several reasons behind these numbers not often spoken about in medical circles.

REASONS:

Women do their aging at the prime of their lives. That is when osteoporosis is created, and it shows up later on. The reproductive system ages women in orderto have babies and children for the process of life and the future of human kind.

the immune system using calcium from the bones (trying to wall off viruses in the tissues) if the person is not getting enough calcium from natural foods. The process takes decades to develop.

High animal protein diet contributes to worsen the condition, since the unprocessed protein causes bone dissolving acidosis.

Another contributor is radiation exposure

It is critical to focus on the right diet, supplements and bone building exercises.

LIVING SILICA® benefits are proven independent clinical studies conducted by leading European, American, and British university researchers. Our preclinical studies on cells have shown that the presence of silica in the precursor cells of the bone for promoting healthy collagen synthesis and also promoting mineralization.
