"It is a condition which affects the skeleton, the bones of the body, a decrease in bone mass and bone density due to improper replacement of bone proteins and calcium, usually occurring after menopause, or due to the side effects of some medication, eating disorders and hormonal problems, causing bones to be weak and more susceptible to fracture. It is a major underlying cause of bone fractures in post-menopausal women and older persons in general. A fall, blow, or lifting action that would not bruise or strain the average person can easily cause one or more bones to break in a person with severe osteoporosis. This is why osteoporosis is sometimes called brittle bone disease. The bones most frequently affected are the vertebrae (backbones), wrist and hip. By the time it becomes obvious to an individual that osteoporosis has developed, up to 30 % of the sufferer's bone mass may have been lost." (1) Whereas the reader may be aware of traditional approaches, such as calcium, estrogen and certain medications, we recommend the addition of HGH, (Human Growth Hormone) which actually rebuilds bone, and intravenous vitamin-mineral and chelation therapies which rearrange and redistribute the calcium of the body.
