9 Energy Science Remedies for Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a reduction in bone mineral density of the skeletal structure resulting in porous bones
It is felt that there is an imbalance in the bone structure such that osteoblastic activity(making new bone) is not as great as osteoclastic activity(breakdown of bone so as to supply minerals for the body) Like any disease there is a spectrum of presentation with minor loss to substantial loss with high risk for fracture
People are becoming more aware of this clinical problem which will become a major issue as the boomers come into their sunset years It was felt that the avatar for such a disease was the 80 year old frail thin female but it's now apparent that can come early and affect men probably in equal proportions
Matter Science Solution
The gold standard evaluation for those at risk is assessment of the bones by bone mineral denstiy(BMD) by a BMD scan This spots the femoral necks and the lumbar spine and compares the BMD of your scan with that of norms within a population and then determines normal, osteopenic, and osteoporotic which is defined as less than 2 standard deviations from the mean population
The primary matter science remedy is a drug that coats the trabecular or internal surface of the bone so that the bone cannot be eaten away by the osteoclastic activity The problem with this approach is that if someone would like to build up their bone by natural means, the coating may impair osteoblastic activity or the laying down of new bone Exercise is also important to create gravitational stress on the bones as well
This kind of solution is probably not the best for those who have borderline to osteopenic bone loss and the energy science has a lot to say about providing solutions that can help
Energy Science Evaluation
From an energy science view reduced bone density and/or osteoporosis is high Vata in the bones of the body leading to the excess qualities of light, dry, rough, subtle, and clear These qualities of Vata excess in the bones gradually reduce the strength of the bone structure
The teeth and nails are the extensions of the bone and hence can give us a lot of information about the progressive health or poor health of the bones So a healthy set of teeth is a healthy skeleton and how often you trim your nails is a good barometer as to the strength of the bones
Further people with strong Vata constitutions(remember the thin frail 80 year old) either predominantly Vata or Vata Pitta or Vata Kapha are more at risk for loss of bone mineralization Typically it is highly unusual for people with Kapha constitution to develop bone loss to any great degree
The absorption of minerals occurs all along the GI tract(bowel) but most activity is localized in the colon so if the health of the colon is poor(irregular stooling or constipation) then decreased absorption of calcium and other minerals can occur leading to reduced new bone being laid down
9 Energy Science Nuritional Solutions
1 Begin the process by improving the health of the gut You can take all the calcium, magnesium, and trace elements you can afford but if the gut is not healthy you just have expensive poop This is a major divergence from the matter science approach which has no concept of what bowel health means(If you eat it and it comes out the other end without symptoms in between then it must be OK) The most important way to start doing this is by doing a nutritional format appropriate for your energy makeup See foodsheal for direction
2 Increase consumption of calcium rich foods such as cow's milk(1 cup =300mg), swiss, gruyere, and paneer cheeses(3.5oz = 800mg to 200mg), fresh home made yogurt(1 cup = 400mg)in moderation, almond and coconut milk(1 cup = 450mg), broccoli, kale, spinach, collard and turnip greens(1 cup = 100-200mg), seaweeds, quinoa, black eyed peas,and arugula( 1 cup = 125mg) These should be used in frequency according to the nutritional formats at foodsheal.com
3 Avoid incompatible food combinations The list is available at foods heal
4 Shoot for 2,000 to 3,000mg calcium consumption per day and 1000 IU of Vit D3 if by BMD you have reduced bone density
5 Use a mineral supplement(New Chapter Bone Strength 6 small tabs worth 770mg calcium) The nice thing about this supplement is that appears to make the minerals more bioavailable and the Vit D3 is included in the formula
6 Use 2oz of sesame seeds(without the hulls) per day at night before bed chewing well before brushing teeth 4 oz is worth 1160mg calcium and 700mg of magnesium Tahini made from whole sesame seeds is another tasty way to get minerals from sesame seeds
7 2 cups of almond or coconut milk per day that is calcium fortified provides 900mg calcium Almond milk is particularly good as it nourishes bone tissue
8 Soaked and peeled almonds are a good source of protein, fat, and minerals and energetically build bone These should be used all the time but be sure to soak and peel In the future will produce a video showing you an easy way to peel a soaked almond
