Non, because bone spurs are actually caused by a build up of calcium causing bone deformities and protrusions through the skin.

Answer 3

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory pain medications, commonly referred to as NSAIDs (pronounced en-sayds) are some of the most commonly prescribed medications, especially for patients with orthopedic problems such as arthritis, bursitis, and tendonitis. These medications are available over-the-counter (e.g. Ibuprofen, Motrin, Aleve) or as a prescription (e.g. Celebrex, DayPro, Relafen). NSAIDs are effective at pain relief (analgesia), and to reduce swelling (anti-inflammatory).

For almost two decades there has been a debate in the treatment of arthritis about the use of the joint supplements glucosamine and chondroitin. Although arthritis is common, affecting about 16 million Americans, exactly what causes the condition of cartilage damage is poorly understood.
How do glucosamine and chondroitin work?
In the joint, cartilage undergoes a constant process of breakdown and repair. However, to be properly repaired, the building blocks of cartilage must be present and available. The theory behind using the glucosamine and chondroitin joint supplements is that more of the cartilage building blocks will be available.

Answer 4

I have a bone spur on my knee and have never heard of calcium being a cure for it. Did you hear that from anyplace authoritative? Usually people use calcium to make sure that their bones are growing not to shrink a part of them. That is just one of those phony cures they are pitching in health foods stores to steal from gullible people.

Answer 5

just 1 cup of Horsetail tea per day, its goes well with Stinging Nettle tea
Silicea
Coral calcium, a glass of carrot parsley and greens juice and unhulled tahini are the best sources of calcium

Answer 6

you need to balance your calcium with vitamin D and magnesium or yu will not absord the calcium. without the balance the calcium could make it worse and cause other calcium deposits elsewhere.
