Answers:
Let's start with most simple part of this program: Osteoporosis diet. When it comes to diet, it is very important to avoid eating Toxins and Foods that Kill. Please follow those links and learn what are The Toxins I am talking about and what are those " Foods that Kill". Now, important part of your diet should also be Water Cure. Please, become familiar with Water Cure. Your Diet should contain: Foods That Heal, Vegetable juices, Fats that Heal, Unrefined Sea Salt. Also, try to understand food tolerance. You can not find the right Osteoporosis diet, unless you fully understand and learn about food tolerance.
Take some time to implement and learn all what you have read here, and then continue reading further.
Now, let's start with body cleansing. Body cleansing is extremely important part of every prevention and curing program. You are guessing: "Dietary changes you made are also a form of cleansing." But, most people need more then this, especially when it comes to liver health. Body Cleansing is even important for children. Our internal organs can hold a lot toxins, and sometimes, it is impossible to get those toxins out, without doing cleansing. Our liver can contain hundreds of intrahepatic stones. Those stones will block bile flow, and affect the bases of your health, your digestion. Another problem are parasites. You must learn as much as possible about parasites. And, don't forget also dental toxins.
Let start with cleansing program. You are suppose to do cleansing in this order:
Bowel cleanse with parasite cleanse
Dental cleanup (if you can afford it)
Kidney Cleanse and
Liver cleanse.
Body Cleansing for Adults:
Bowel cleanse and Parasite cleanse !
Dental cleanup - dental work may be one cofactor of your disease: amalgam, root canal, nickel crowns, cavitations (pocket inside jaw bone left after extraction of the wisdom and molar teeth )
Kidney cleanse
Liver cleanse and Gallbladder cleanse -liver flush!
Make sure you visit those pages and get more info. Dental cleanup can take many years. If you have a lot of dental metal, do not rush to replace it all at once.
Bowel cleanse should be done at least once a year.
Liver cleanse is a procedure that, for best results, should be repeated at least 6 - 10 times, every 2 or 3 weeks.
Kidney cleanse is simple and cheap, many herbs can be used to cleanse kidneys. If you have no kidney stones, even Water Cure could be enough!
Body Cleansing for kids:
Parasites cleanse
Dental cleanup .. Kids older then 8 may need dental cleanup (amalgam) and liver cleanse:
Liver Cleanse - flush
Physical Activity helps cleansing, it brings balance and relieves stress.
Psycho-physical activities will help you balance your body and will help you relief accumulated stress. You will have to find a form of exercise that suit you. I will just give you a few examples:
Mini Trampoline jumping - rebounding!
Meditation
Walk or jog in the nature : Forest, Mountain , river / sea / lake side, beach ... fishing, photo-safari, rowing, riding, golf, ...
Tai Chi, Chi Gong, Meditation ...
Yoga - Hatha, Meditation, Chinese Yoga ...
Martial Arts: Karate, Judo, Kung Fu, Teakwood, Budokai, Uechi, Aikido ...
Dancing, Aerobics, Gymnastics, Stretching ...
Swimming in non-chlorinated water ! ( Best in minerals rich water - Ocean ! )
Weight lifting, .
Do not exhaust yourself !
Do not exercise with full stomach ! (You may take a walk!)
Do not hurt yourself !
Sweating is powerful way to cleanse your body from accumulated toxins.
examples:
- exercise with a lot of clothes
- Sauna
- drink warm tea in a hot room ...
- eat CAYENNE pepper! ...
It is known that some modern industrial toxins and pesticides can leave your body only through sweat glands!
Certain types of doctors may have more training and experience than others in diagnosing and treating people with osteoporosis. These include a geriatrician, who specializes in treating the aged; an endocrinologist, who specializes in treating diseases of the body's endocrine system (glands and hormones); and an orthopedic surgeon, who treats fractures, such as those caused by osteoporosis.
Before making a diagnosis of osteoporosis, the doctor usually takes a complete medical history, conducts a physical exam, and orders x-rays, as well as blood and urine tests, to rule out other diseases that cause loss of bone mass. The doctor may also recommend a bone density test. This is the only way to know for certain if osteoporosis is present. It can also show how far the disease has progressed.
Several diagnostic tools are available to measure the density of a bone. The ordinary x-ray is one, though it's the least accurate for early detection of osteoporosis, because it doesn't reveal bone loss until the disease is advanced and most of the damage has already been done. Two other tools that are more likely to catch osteoporosis at an early stage are computed tomography scans (CT scans) and machines called densitometers, which are designed specifically to measure bone density.
The CT scan, which takes a large number of x-rays of the same spot from different angles, is an accurate test, but uses higher levels of radiation than other methods. The most accurate and advanced of the densitometers uses a technique called DEXA (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry). With the DEXA scan, a double x-ray beam takes pictures of the spine, hip, or entire body. It takes about 20 minutes to do, is painless, and exposes the patient to only a small amount of radiation--about one-fiftieth that of a chest x ray.
Doctors don't routinely recommend the test, partly because access to densitometers is still not widely available. People should talk to their doctors about their risk factors for osteoporosis and if, and when, they should get the test. Ideally, women should have bone density measured at menopause, and periodically afterward, depending on the condition of their bones. Men should be tested around age 65. Men and women with additional risk factors, such as those who take certain medications, may need to be tested earlier.
There are a number of good treatments for primary osteoporosis, most of them medications. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has approved two new medications, alendronate and calcitonin (in nose spray form). They provide people who have osteoporosis with a variety of choices for treatment. For people with secondary osteoporosis, treatment may focus on curing the underlying disease.
For most women who've gone through menopause, the best treatment for osteoporosis is hormone replacement therapy (HRT), also called estrogen replacement therapy. Many women participate in HRT when they undergo menopause, to alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes, but hormones have other important roles as well. They protect women against heart disease, the number one killer of women in the United States, and they help to relieve and prevent osteoporosis. HRT increases a woman's supply of estrogen, which helps build new bone, while preventing further bone loss.
Some women, however, do not want to take hormones, because some studies show they are linked to an increased risk of breast cancer or uterine cancer. Other studies reveal the risk is due to increasing age. (Breast cancer tends to occur more often as women age.) Whether or not a woman takes hormones is a decision she should make carefully with her doctor. Women should talk to their doctors about personal risks for osteoporosis, as well as their risks for heart disease and breast cancer. Most women take estrogen along with a synthetic form of progesterone, another female hormone. The combination helps protect against cancer of the uterus.
For people who can't or won't take estrogen, two other medications can be good choices. These are alendronate and calcitonin. Alendronate and calcitonin both stop bone loss, help build bone, and decrease fracture risk by as much as 50%. Alendronate (sold under the name Fosamax) is the first nonhormonal medication for osteoporosis ever approved by the FDA. It attaches itself to bone that's been targeted by bone-eating osteoclasts. It protects the bone from these cells. Osteoclasts help your body break down old bone tissue.
Calcitonin is a hormone that's been used as an injection for many years. A new version is on the market as a nasal spray. It too slows down bone-eating osteoclasts.
Side effects of these drugs are minimal, but calcitonin builds bone by only 1.5% a year, which may not be enough for some women to recover the bone they lose. Fosamax has proven safe in very large, multi-year studies, but not much is known about the effects of its long-term use. That's why estrogen medications may still be the medicine of choice for a few years, as researchers continue to study other drugs. Several medications under study include other biphosphonates that slow bone breakdown (like alendronate), sodium fluoride, vitamin D metabolites, and selective estrogen receptor modulators. Some of these treatments are already being used in other countries, but have not yet been approved by the FDA for use in the United States.
Unfortunately, much of the treatment for osteoporosis is for fractures that result from advanced stages of the disease. For complicated fractures, such as broken hips, hospitalization and a surgical procedure are required. In hip replacement surgery, the broken hip is removed and replaced with a new hip made of plastic, or metal and plastic. Though the surgery itself is usually successful, complications of the hip fracture can be serious. Those individuals have a 5-20% greater risk of dying within the first year following that injury than do others in their age group. A large percentage of those who survive are unable to return to their previous level of activity, and many end up moving from self-care to a supervised living situation or nursing home. That's why getting early treatment and taking steps to reduce bone loss are vital.
its simple, exercise a lot... drink a lot of nutritious milk,it will help you fight osteoporosis
The loss of boney tissue, resulting in bones that are brittle and liable to fracture, injury , infection, and " Synovitis " can cause localised Osteoporosis of adjacent bone. This is common in elderly women, and often follows the " menopause " , and can be controlled by hormone therapy ( use of estrogen is bit controversial ).
This is only some information about the disorder. Your case in very specific. Please follow the medication given by your Doctors. Be careful about your bones. Wish you fast recovery.
bisphosphonate drugs are prescribed in osteoporosis. The most often prescribed bisphosphonates are presently sodium alendronate (Fosamax®) 10 mg a day or 70 mg once a week, risedronate (Actonel®) 5mg a day or 35mg once a week or and ibandronate (Boniva® once a month).
You also need to exercise because it is important to those who are suffering from osteoporosis.
Please check this with your doctor.
Don't smoke — Smoking increases bone loss, perhaps by decreasing the amount of progesterone your body makes and reducing the absorption of calcium in your intestine.
Consuming adequate calcium and performing weight-bearing activities.If you don't get enough calcium in your diet, your body will steal it from your bones to keep blood calcium levels constant
Consider natural progesterone treatment — Natural Progesterone treatment is the single most important way to reduce a woman's risk of osteoporosis
Progesterone therapy also has other significant benefits. progesterone increases levels of HDL ("good") cholesterol, decreases total cholesterol and LDL ("bad") cholesterol and protects against cardiovascular disease. The risk of heart attack may actually be reduced by half.
Estrogen replaement therapy is a hoax. Women who take estrogen replacement therapies experience a large increase in their triglyceride levels. Taking estrogen alone increases risk of cancer of the lining of the uterus (endometrial cancer).
Get adequate calcium and vitamin D — These nutrients are critical for building peak bone mass and in preventing bone loss as you age. . And vitamin D helps you absorb calcium and deposit it in your bones.
Exercise — Weight-bearing exercise can help you build strong bones and slow bone loss. It's never too late to start an exercise program to prevent osteoporosis. Even if you've already had a fracture from osteoporosis, exercise can help strengthen muscle and bone, improve posture and prevent falls by aiding balance. Weight-bearing exercise is any activity you do on your feet with your bones supporting your weight. Exercises in which bone sustains repeated impact have added benefit. For example, your leg bones respond to the impact of your feet striking the ground when walking or running, and your arm bones respond to the impact of the ball when playing volleyball or tennis.
Your bones also respond to the force of muscles pulling on them. Strong muscles exert more force, and bones generally respond by becoming stronger. You can use weight machines or free weights, such as dumbbells, weight belts and homemade weights.
It's important to combine strength-training exercises with weight-bearing exercises. Strength-training enables you to strengthen muscles and bones in your arms and upper spine, while walking or jogging mainly affects the bones in your legs, hips and lower spine
Avoid excessive alcohol consumption — Consuming more than two drinks a day may decrease bone formation and reduce your body's ability to absorb calcium.
Watch the caffeine — drinking 3 cups of coffee doubled the amount of calcium excreted in urine.
Bisphosphonates — Much like estrogen, this group of drugs can inhibit bone breakdown, preserve bone mass and even increase bone density in your spine and hip.
Calcitonin — Calcitonin is a hormone produced in your thyroid gland. It reduces bone resorption and may slow bone loss and prevent spine fractures. The drug can also reduce pain after a fracture. Calcitonin is usually used to treat people with osteoporosis who are at high risk for fracture and can't take estrogen or bisphosphonates. The drug is available as an injection or a nasal spray.
There is a way with Siddha Medicine. But you have to travel to India and get a good siddha practitioners.
