Answer 1

Osteoporosis is the chronic loss of bone mass and strength which today afflicts over 8 million Americans - one and a half million are subjected to life threatening fractures every year. 20% who endure hip fractures die from complications within a year; 60% become dependant on constant help in their daily lives. It is not strictly a women's disease, though 85% of victims are women.

Bones in a healthy body are constantly regenerating. Old bone is drawn upon to supply instant demands for calcium (osteoclasts) and is replaced by new bone material (osteoblasts) to keep the skeleton strong. As we age, the process of rebuilding becomes less effective, and there is an overall loss of density, and as important, strength which is supplied by the collagen - the glue which binds the minerals (largely calcium) together in the skeleton. Thus, as we age, the need for absorbable calcium, (not Tums - research has shown this to be one of the least absorbable forms of calcium) in conjunction with other essential minerals and vitamins.

Estrogen therapy has been touted as a way of slowing bone loss, but a 14 year study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that there was no significant difference in the incidence of hip fractures between women who took estrogen and those who did not! It would appear that the well know dangers of synthetic estrogen replacement therapy, if taken to reduce the incidence of bone fractures, is misplaced.

Extensive research has revealed a number of key issues which an osteoporosis sufferer need to address to improve the chances that, in later life, they will not be permanently crippled by this disease.

Factors contributing to the loss of bone density and strength
Excess phosphorus intake through drinking too many soda's. particularly Colas. To balance this phosphorus, the body must draw calcium from the bones.
Sedentary lifestyle. Exercise strengthens bones - inactivity encourages the body not to rebuild unused resources.
Consuming too much fat in our diets - vegetarians are shown to have greater bone mass than meat eaters.
Excess alcohol consumption interferes with calcium absorption.
Drinking too much coffee. A study of 84,484 patients showed a correlation between bone fractures and heavy coffee consumption.
Smoking. The evidence is overwhelming - heavy smoking boosts bone loss.
A lack of natural vitamin D - obtained by exposure (not over-exposure) to sunlight.
Not enough Vitamin K in the system. New research has shown that this little known vitamin is the key to calcium balance in the body.
A lack of trace minerals necessary for the transport and absorption of calcium.
Prescription drugs can increase bone loss. These include cortisone, blood thinners, antacids containing aluminum, chemotherapy, lithium, and certain antibiotics.
Birth control pills which reduce the folic acid content in the body.
Excess consumption of dairy products! This is due to the high animal fat content in dairy products, and the lack of CLA in modern dairy products.
Excess salt and sugar consumption in junk foods, which leach calcium from the bones into the urine.
Fluorides which destroy the collagen, the glue which adds strength to the bones.

Pharmaceutical Drug treatment.

Two FDA approved prescription drugs dominate orthodox Osteoporosis treatment:

Fosamax (Alendronate). The makers, Merck, say it works by binding to the bones, and preventing further loss of calcium. If this coating prevents loss, it must surely prevent osteoblasts from rebuilding the structure, as well as robbing the body of short term calcium demands - this calcium is necessary and is drawn from the bones. Fosamax shows up on bone scans as a darker substance, providing false evidence that the bone's density has been increased. The long term side effects are completely unknown, and once on it, a patient is told to keep taking it. Even when stopped, some of the drug sticks to the bones, preventing any chance of rebuilding.

Miacalcin (Calcitonin) is a hormonal drug, either injected into the body daily, or sprayed under the tongue. Its side effects are unknown, and tests have shown that in bone scans, it is less effective than Fosamax.

New drugs waiting approval include a slow release fluoride (Great! It will only destroy the bone's collagen and thus its strength. But it will do this slowly!) and Calcitriol, which is similar to Calcitonin, but has the formation of kidney stones as a potential side effect.

Well it all depends on your definition of natural. Isopropyl Alcohol (rubbing alcohol) is made up of naturally occurring substances found in the earth. It is also a good way to stop the itch of mosquito bites and is often the main ingredient in those over the counter no itch medicines. The other ingredients in those products help with the smell of the alcohol. But if you want to get more natural than that, wood alcohol (whiskey) also helps. Just apply either one directly to the affected area. But be careful about getting the alcohol into open wounds/bites you've scratched enough to tear the skin off of, as it will burn like hell if alcohol touches an open wound. The good news is that it will disinfect that open wound better than peroxide lol. And to answer your question about naturally preventing bites, eating garlic can help keep the mosquitoes at bay. This is where the myth that garlic keeps vampires away comes from. Garlic makes your blood taste bad and thus animals that drink your blood won't like it. But that won't work 100% of the time. The only way to get rid of mosquitoes 100% of the time is to somehow change your body so that it doesn't breathe out carbon monoxide (a mosquito attractant). Which is something science hasn't figured out how to do yet, so you might as well get used to the critters biting you.

Answer 3

Osteoporosis is a disease of bone in which the bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced, bone microarchitecture is disrupted, and the amount and variety of non-collagenous proteins in bone is altered. Osteoporotic bones are more susceptible to fracture.

There is some evidence to suggest bone density benefits from taking the following supplements (in addition to calcium and vitamin D): boron, magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, silicon, strontium, folic acid, and vitamins B6, C, and K.

Exercise is of great importance for people suffering from the osteoporosis syndrome. Regular load bearing exercises can help both to delay the onset of the condition, and to relieve pain; this is because regular movement can help to keep joints supple. It is important to be shown how to do exercises for osteoporosis by a professional physiotherapist; this will ensure that the suffere gains full benefits and does not cause further damage. Sufferers of osteoporosis must learn to judge their own pain thresholds and exercise accordingly.

Answer 4

first this is not asteo but osteoporosis which is a condition in which bones looses their calcium & mineral contents & becomes thin & easily brakable. This is more common in middle age females & after menopause ( after sttopage of periods ) .
Diet is important & it should contain lots of calcium - like milk ,curd ,Dailry products,fresh fruis,lots of viatamin C & D. For Vitamin D exposure to sun is essiential when skin produces vit D from sun light.
U can also ask her to to daily light strteching exercises & prnayam. Walking daily also build bones .
Along with this give her calcium supplements which also contains vita D like Shelcal OS ,it is not very costly.

Ayurveda

To help prevent osteoporosis, eat a handful of sesame seeds every morning, says Vasant Lad, B.A.M.S., M.A.Sc., director of the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He also suggests drinking calcium-rich almond milk twice a day, before breakfast and before bedtime. He says you can make your own almond milk by soaking ten almonds in a cup of warm water for ten minutes, peeling them and mixing them in a blender with one cup of cow’s milk, goat’s milk or soya milk, adding a pinch each of cardamom, ginger powder and saffron for flavor. Goat’s milk and soya milk are available in most health food stores.
Food Therapy

“Osteoporosis is a disease of calcium loss, not deficiency,” says Michael A. Klaper, M.D., a nutritional medicine specialist in Pompano Beach, Florida, and director of the Institute of Nutritional Education and Research, an organization based in Manhattan Beach, California, that teaches doctors about nutrition and its relationship to disease. “You need to avoid things that make your kidneys excrete excess calcium, which is a steady drain upon your body’s calcium stores.” These foods include animal proteins such as meats, poultry and fish as well as refined sugars, alcohol, salt, tobacco and caffeine, found in coffee, black tea, cola and chocolate, he says.

Go for food sources that are rich in calcium, such as dark green leafy vegetables, low-fat dairy products and sardines with bones, says Richard Gerson, Ph.D., author of The Right Vitamins. (For more food sources of calcium, see “Getting What You Need” on page 142.)

Juice Therapy

It can be a challenge to get enough calcium in your diet, says naturopathic physician Michael Murray, N.D., in The Complete Book of Juicing. He offers this nondairy alternative: Juice three kale leaves, two collard leaves and a handful of parsley, followed by three carrots, one apple and half of a green pepper. According to Dr. Murray, this cocktail contains about 212 milligrams of calcium and 102 milligrams of magnesium, both essential for building bone mass.

For information on juicing techniques, see page 93.

Vitamin and Mineral Therapy

A person with osteoporosis may want to use the following daily regimen of supplements to help control the condition, says David Edelberg, M.D., an internist and medical director of the American Holistic Center/Chicago: 1,200 milligrams of calcium; 800 milligrams of magnesium; 10 milligrams of zinc; 1 milligram of copper; 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C; 200 international units of vitamin D; 50 milligrams of vitamin B6; 1 milligram of folic acid; 1 milligram of silicon; 0.5 milligram of boron; and 5 milligrams of manganese. Some manufacturers combine all of these supplements in one capsule, according to Dr. Edelberg; these can be purchased in most health food stores.

Yoga

Standing poses such as the mountain (page 606) and the tree (page 608) can help your leg bones stay strong, says Stephen A. Nezezon, M.D., yoga teacher and staff physician at the Himalayan International Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. Try to do at least one of these exercises each day. (Dr. Nezezon cautions that the elderly and people with advanced osteoporosis should not try the tree pose.)
