| Holistic Medicine and Natural Healing FAQ: Osteoporosis |
What Causes Osteoporosis?
Essentially it is the food we eat, especially what some call the Standard
American Diet or SAD for short. The effects of eating this way are truly SAD.
OK, What Is The Standard American Diet?
Basically, and at the heart of the problem is the fact that it is comprised of
nearly all acidic or acid forming foods. If you don't know what this means
or the effect acidic on the ideal pH balance of the body, please click on this

Are There Differences Between The Way MDs Treat Osteoporosis
and the Way OM Treats Osteoporosis? And, If So What Are They:
Yes! What we OM practitioners call Allopathic medicine (medicine which
uses drugs or surgery) looks at osteoporosis as primarily simply a matter of
hormone deficiency due to aging (menopause and post-menopausal
syndrome) or some extreme disease process. It ignores entirely the dietary
and nutritional aspects and does not even begin to recognize the function
of the kidneys and their energetic and organic functions in bone loss and
other symptoms of menopause and post-menopausal status. Yet hormone
replacement therapy has been now largely discredited for any purpose. The
side effects of such medications are now recognized as being worse than
the ascribed benefits. These drugs are very hard on the body.
Here Are Some of the Symptoms That May Accompany
Osteoporosis:
There may be weakness of the knees and legs, poor memory, loose teeth,
falling hair or premature graying of the hair, decline in sexual performance
and libido and soreness and weakness of the back. Dizziness, tinnitus
(usually low pitched), vertigo, night sweats, dry mouth, feeling of heat in
the palms, soles of the feet, and/or chest, flushed cheeks or face, feeling of
heat in the afternoon, dry throat or recurrent sore throat, thirst, sore back,
aches in bones, dry stools or constipation, dark scanty urine, heightened
libido. The tongue may be red with no coating on it and be cracked on the
surface. Low back feels cold, feeling chilled, aversion to cold, cold limbs,
cold hands and feet, pale complexion, frequent abundant clear urine,
frequent urination at night, lassitude, apathy, low libido, urinary dribbling or
incontinence. The tongue may appear pale, swollen, with a thin white coat.

importance of calcium supplementation.
Secondly, If you have any of the above symptoms, I recommend that you
schedule an appointment so that I can do a complete evaluation.
The main treatment plan involves changing your diet to eliminate or reduce

bone mass and balance out the imbalances causing your other symptoms.
