MAKING YOUR BONE BROTH STRONGER AT HOME

Osteoporosis is a disease where bones lose their strength, very similar to how bone broth breaks down bones and makes edible.  

What is the home remedy to help this?  

Home Remedy notes for you.

In this note I will update home remedies that are tried and true for treatment of diseases I see in clinic.  I will continue to add them as requests come in.  Check back in every so often.  First one I get so many questions on is osetoporosis and osteopenia for patients.  Here is the best up to date info of how to solve your situation without the Rx drugs that many of my collegues like to use.  They are OK but for me I dont like their side effect profiles.  And if you want to know more about the disease see my other note in 2010 on osteoporosis.  It is more in depth about the disease and the drugs used to treat it.  This note is about how to do it naturally without a prescription.

SUNLIGHT IS FREE.  Get your skin in the game.  Use sensible solar exposure as I laid out in the solar callus blog here on Patreon.  

Vitamin D3--using a dose sufficient to raise our 25-hydroxy vitamin D blood level to 60-70 ng/nl.  I'd much rather people use sunlight but for those who chose to short cut nature I advocate buying the D3 from a store at 5000 IU doses.  Make sure the oil base used in pill is not an omega six.  This is harmful for the skin.  I base initial dosing on current lab values so it does require a blood draw.  If you want your PCP to draw it and send the numbers to me to give you a consult let me know.  I do not like the 50,000 IU a week dosing that the Rx vit D3 has.

Vitamin K2--Borrowing from the Japanese experience, in which vitamin K2 is used as a prescription "drug" for treatment of osteoporosis (Glakay, Eisai Pharmaceuticals), we started 1000 mcg of a mixture of K2 forms, MK-7 and MK-4.  YOu can also buy vitamin K2 5 mgs from drugstore.com or from www.lef.org.  Fermented cheeses from Europe and Natto are the best source of this vitamin naturally and neither are staples in the Standard American diet.

Magnesium--Based on evidence that magnesium strengthens the bonds in bone tissue, we started magnesium glycinate, 400 mg per day (200 mg twice a day), a form that is well-absorbed and causes little or no loose stools. I prefer eating three raw oysters per day to get your Magnesium.  For bad osteoporosis I advocate adding a 400 mg dose about 90 minutes prior to sleep too.  Our diet in this country is very very low in Magnesium so if your overweight too add the evening dose.  And if you're going paleo/keto/carnivore dieting as well add the magnesium to slow the development of hard stools. Magnesium citrate liquid can also be used.  You'll thank me.   So will your rectum.  

Progesterone--We  have added natural topical progesterone cream formulated for by a compounding pharmacy, 60 mg twice a day.  Yes progesterone helps bone formation and it helps women sleep alot better.  You can go up to 100 mg orally too under the direction of a physician.

Strontium ranelate given orally at a dose of 2 g daily appears to reduce the risk of vertebral fractures rapidly, effectively, and safely among postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.  This mineral increases our C -teleopeptide cross links to make the newly laid bone down not suseptible to remodeling and how it works remains unknown but what we do know is those who use it have faster bone formation and more bone formation and the bone laind down sticks around a long time.

Exercise should be done, but one needs to be careful with it.   As a bare minimum.........Weight training ten minutes three times a week.  Pure weights is best.  Not a machine.  It builds bone better than any exercise and it should be done outside using tan through clothing.  The amount you start out has to be in tune with your body status at start.  

That is my home version for the initial treatment for osteopenia for men and women.  We also advocate getting your hormone and vitamin D levels assessed during this treatment for metabolic bone disease.  If you need more help consider becoming a member and I would be happy to help you out -------->>>>www.kruseatdestin.com
