Bone Have Similar Properties and Needs

• Bones are dense connective tissue. – Honeycomb-like, 3-

dimensional structure.

• Lightweight, strong and hard.– 206 bones in the human

body.

• Smallest bones are found in the ear. Longest in the leg.

• Strongest bone is the jawbone.

• Bones are alive!

Purpose of the Bones

Bone Facts:•Women’s tend to lose bone mass easier than men because of pregnancies and menses•Before 20 yrs old, every 10 years, each bone in the body is completely regenerated•Weight baring tends to encourage the body to hold onto more calcium•A mini trampoline is a wonderful way to improving bone mass

Vegans have good bone health without dairy.

Normal Bone vs. Osteoporosis

• Soda contain phosphoric acid which can severely deplete blood calcium levels and alter a healthy pH

• Coffee and Tea contains tannic acid

• Medication can cause acidity or alkalinity

• Milk products

Bone Dangers Bone Dangers

•Harvard 12 year study of 78,000 women, who drank milk three times a day actually broke more bones than women who rarely drank milk.

• 1994 study in Sydney, Australia, showed that the higher dairy product consumption the increase in fracture risk

The pH Factor• Almost all health problems begin in an acid

environment• If your pH is below 6.5• You will not absorb vitamins A, B, and E• You will not absorb Sulfur, Calcium, Potassium, and

other important minerals• Milk produces an “acidic ash” which takes more

calcium to neutralize than a person can absorb from the milk

pH recording will be included your CD’s

Body has to compensate in the following ways:• It first robs minerals from the

1. Bones2. Joints3. Gallbladder4. Mucosal lining of the digestive track – GERD (Gastro-Esophageal

Reflux Disease)5. Ligaments and tendons

• Acid deposited in the muscles can cause fibromyalgia, soreness and/or stiffness.

• If the body needs to rob minerals from the lining of the intestinal track, or if the body tries to eliminate acid through the intestine, you could develop pain in the colon, colitis, diarrhea, Crohn's or irritable bowel

• Eliminating through the lungs (lower respiratory system) can cause asthma. If acid settles in the sinuses (upper respiratory system), the body will try to dilute it with mucus, which can result in post nasal drip or sinus problems.

• Eliminating through the urinary system can cause blood in the urine and/or bladder irritation, cystitis, and later on kidney damage. UTIs(Urinary Tract Infection)

Ionic Mineral With Acai(Ah-Sigh-EE)

• Approximately 70 trace minerals.

• Assists processing and utilization of calcium, magnesium and other minerals.

• Supports the circulatory system with the antioxidant benefits of açai berry.

• Helps regulate pH balance in the body.

Vitamin D3:• Shares the same cell receptors as and acts like

thyroid hormones.

• High impact of gut flora increased immunity

• Lowers inflammation:

“56% of elderly women lack Vitamin D and should take 1000-2000 units/day”.

– J. Menopause 2005:12:589

• Levels are too low in 50% of people. Minimum dose should be over 1000, and level over 75. The lab range (15-60 is wrong) AJCN 2006; 84:18

• A deficiency produces rickets—misshapen bone.

• Less pain and inflammation

• Reduces cardiac risks (which NSAIDS increase).

•Chinese herbalists believe eucommianourishes the kidney yang and the ligaments and bones.

•Eucommia has been used for centuries in the Far East for weakness. No single Western herb has been found to substitute for these qualities.

•Chinese herbalists also believe achyranthes relieves the body of excess fluids and strengthens it.

•They firmly believe that achyranthesstrengthens the liver, kidneys, bones and tendons. It has been used for convalescence, comfort and certain gynecological needs.

Structural ChallengesOsteoporosis

• Bone mineral density 2.5 standard deviations below peak bone mass of an average 20 year old female.

• 5% bone loss yearly after our 20’s in the U.S. is typical.

• 20% mortality in the elderly if they break a hip.

• Common after menopause.

The Best time to build bone density is BEFORE 30 yrs old

Structural Challenges

OSTEOPOROSIS

• Predisposed by hormonal disorders, steroids which suppress immunity.

• Can significantly affect life expectancy.

• If “Established,” a fragility fracture is present.

• Diagnosed via X-ray, ultrasound, and blood tests.

Risk Factors• Is your wrist less than 6 inches in diameter?• Are you taller than 5’7” and weigh less than 127

LBS?• Do you smoke? • Do you drink more than 2 servings of alcohol

daily?• Are you depressed?

– Depression creates chemicals that eat bone! MehmetOz MD.

Medical Treatment For Osteoporosis• Medications to slow bone loss?

• Exercise

• Calcium?

• Vitamin D?

• Premarin

Did You Know?• Taking calcium alone suppresses

Magnesium absorption and creates Magnesium deficiency.

• Result: Calcium leaves the bone and enters into the soft tissues resulting in cell aging.

• Higher levels of Magnesium stimulates the thyroid to deposit calcium into the bones.

• Natural foods have a ratio of 2-8 parts Magnesium to 1 part Calcium.

• Always take Calcium with Magnesium.• Ratio of Calcium:Magnesium in humans

should be 2:1 ratio before 30 and 1:1 ratio thereafter

Unigram: The Calcium Myth by Robert Koch, Independent

Biochemist. Universal Nutrition.

Puzzling Facts• Most world populations average 400 mg of calcium daily

without any evidence of osteoporosis. Example: China.

• In the US, we consume calcium-rich dairy and calcium supplements and have epidemic osteoporosis.

Dairy milk is singled out as the biggest dietary cause of osteoporosis

Too Much Protein• North Americans eat 2-3 times the protein that is

needed.

• Reducing the protein load to the RDA of 50-60 grams daily (the size of 2 eggs) is the goal.

• The protein intake of the Chinese is 30 grams daily, mostly from fermented soy and grains.

7

Stress and Toxin Storage• Cortisol production is high

when stress is high.

• Cortisol is a natural steroid hormone made in the adrenals.

• Long-term secretion suppresses the bone marrow immunity, opening the gate to potential infections and toxin storage.

The Risk Quiz• Are you a woman?

• Do you have weak muscles?

• Are you often worried and anxious?

• Are you more unhappy than happy?

• Do you use anti-depressants or acid-blockers?

• Have you had long-term steroid use?

• Do you drink more than: 2 servings of alcohol, 1 serving of soda, and/or serving of coffee daily?

• Do you smoke?

• Are you close to or in menopause? Do you have moderate or severe symptoms?

• Have you broken a bone as an adult?

• Did either parent fracture a hip?

• Have you lost half or more of your teeth?

• Do you consume a high protein diet?

• Do you have difficulty healing?

• Do you have difficulty sleeping?

Our First Step: The Basics• Vitamin D 2000-4000 IU daily.

• Veggies: 7 servings (amount you can hold in cupped hand)

• Exercise 30 min. 3X weekly (must include weight bearing and muscle strengthening.

• High quality Nature’s Sunshine Supplements that contain: Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese, Vitamin D, and Vitamin K.

• More vegetarian protein than meat.

Our First Step: The Basics cont.

• Daily Almonds, Pumpkin seeds, and Cashews.

• Drink at least 8-10 glasses of purified water daily.

• Regular detoxification programs.

• Choose joy, gratitude, and forgiveness.– Release bitterness, resentment, and stress.

• Live in the present.

Did You Know?• Osteoporosis is called a disease of calcium

loss or mal absorption not deficiency.– Dr. Daisy Franzini—Good Samaritan Hospital, Portland, OR

• What is causing the loss or mal absorption?– Poor digestion

– Wrong calcium for pH

– Lacking accompanying nutrients Vitamin D, Magnesium, Boron, Phosphorus

Symptoms:•Constant Ache•With no temperature

Bone Marrow FunctionsRed Marrow:• Generates stem cells.

– Stem cells are crucial to our immunity.

– Various stem cell types to assist in regeneration and repair throughout our bodies.

• Red blood cells, platelets and most white blood cells.

• Resides in the skull, ribs, shoulder blades, vertebrae, breastbone, and hip bones.

Teeth• Baby teeth develop during 6th

week in utero.– Permanent teeth during the 20th

week in utero.

• These are critical times for excellent nutrient and mineral intake.– Black Walnut, Skeletal Strength,

Horsetail, Omega 3.– If this window of opportunity closes

without proper nutrients, teeth may fail to develop or will be missing.

Dangers for Bone and Teeth• Lead, Fluoride and heavy metals can

store in the bones. Lead is the most abundant toxic metal. World production: 3.5 million tons per year, primarily in factory emissions.

• Radiation (Dental, Mammograms, CT scans) stores in the bones and thyroid.

• An average CT Scan =74 mammograms= 442 chest X-rays. - Rebecca Smith-Bindman, MD, radiology professor, UCSF CBS News, New York, Dec 14, 2009

Understand X-Rays and AlternativesUse Common Sense – Ask Questions!

• Always protect the thyroid with a lead sheet.

• Check out digital X-rays for dental and mammography

• Check out Thermography pictures of the breast and body.

• Can an Ultrasound be used instead?

• What about MRI as an alternative?

Use Common Sense – Ask Questions!

More X-ray Trivia

• Sun –(1 day):1/10,000 rads; Single tooth: 4-14 rads, A full “preventative checkup” up to 40 rads.

– (Radiology, vol. 61, W.E. Nolan and H.W. Patterson)

• The human body can handle only 50 rads without detriment– Dr. Shields Warren (Harvard Medical School).

• if X-rays are needed to help clean out radiation for 3 months use: – Kelp Baths (1 cup) (18 minutes) twice

monthly

– Algin, Astragalus, and Vitamin E with Selenium.

Did You Know?• Eating refined sugar reverses tooth circulation. Instead of

wastes leaving the tooth, they start depositing within it.

• 12 oz of soda:

– 8 tsp of sugar = 32 g (1 tsp=4 g).

• A banana split:

– 25 tsp of sugar = 100 g

• Americans average 355 calories or more than

• 22 tsp of sugar daily. (1)

Care and Keeping of a Muscle

600 Muscles… Including those for movement, heart, digestive tract, uterus, bladder

•Toxicity – Acid and Toxins

•Weakness – Lacking sodium, calcium, magnesium and potassium

•Injury

•Cold

•Lack of Tone - Exercise

Exercise Wisely

•Warm up and cool down•Wear warm enough clothing during and after exercise•Drink plenty of Water•Do stretches after exercise to drain out lactic acid•Do Detoxing soak

11

Detoxing MusclesFill tub warm water with 4 cups of Epson's salt mixed with 3 Tbs of ginger (test skin for ginger irritation)

Use Loofah or plastic pot scrubber to exfoliate skin

Soak for 20 to 30 minutes… drinking sage tea….empty tub

Shower off residue pulled out through the skin

HOW muscles get stronger• Exercising causes muscles to die• The body will replace the dead muscles with superior

cells IF:– You pull the acid and debris out of the old muscle

tissue– Drink plenty of water to flush– Keep your bowel clean– Keep your pH normal– Digest the right nutrients….

Calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium rich foods and a prudent amount of protein.

– PLS II and recovery

Too Much Protein• North Americans eat 2-3 times the protein that is

needed.

• Reducing the protein load to the RDA of 50-60 grams daily (the size of 2 eggs) is the goal.

• The protein intake of the Chinese is 30 grams daily, mostly from soy and grains.

• Protein leaves an “acidic ash” causing a pH imbalance.

• The body has a hard time draining lactic acid produced by exercise if dietary acid is present.

Exercise to Reverse Carpal Tunnel The function of muscle fasciae is to reduce friction to minimize need for

muscular force.•Provide a sliding and gliding environment for muscles.•Suspend organs in their proper place.•Transmit movement from muscles to bones.•Provide a supportive and movable wrapping for nerves and blood vessels as they pass through and between muscles.

Tendons ~ Connect Muscles to BonesA sinew or band that connect muscle to the bone and can withstand tension.

Water, Oils, Sodium and Minerals

Avoid Coffee, tea, soda and anything which adversely effects pH

Ligaments ~ Connect Bones to Bones

Joints-LigamentsJoints:

– Two bones connect and have range of motion.

– Cartilage cushions connecting bones.– Joint Capsule is a soft tissue envelope

which cushions and provides smooth gliding between bones

InflammationLatin inflammatio – To set on Fire –

(conditions ending in -itis)

24 Million have an auto-immune disease of the structural system including:

• Rheumatoid

• Fibromyalgia

• Stiff, cracking or painful Joints/arthritis

• Osteopenia/Osteoporosis

• Tendonitis

• Myositis is inflammation of skeletal muscles

• Lupus

Injuries Which Can Cause the Inflammatory Response

Short Term – Acute Conditions

•Twist

•Cut

•Blunt trauma

•Repetitive movement

•Oxidation

Mechanics of Inflammation1. An Injury (Insult) happens to the body2. In response to the injury the body produces

Histamine3. Histamine defuses nearby capillaries causing

them to leak out fluid, causing swelling, heat, pain and inflammation

4. This fluid attracts Phagocytes which consumes any possible invaders such as bacteria, virus, parasites etc.

5. Histamine subsides and swelling recedes

Besides Injury, That Which Can Cause the Inflammatory Response:

StresspH imbalance

Milk productsCoffee, tea, tobacco products & certain tannic acidsSugar

Processed foodsToxins

Medication, insecticides, preservatives, chemicalsFoods we can’t break down

Type 1 – immediate allergiesType 2 – takes up to 72 hours after ingestion to produce allergic

response

Response to Inflammation

•Swelling

•Poor circulation

•Immobilization

•Heat •Saliva 6.3 – 6.6•Cell Fluids 6.3 – 6.6•Urine 5.5 - 6.8•Blood 7.35 - 7.45 •Stomach 1.7

Medical Test Which Indicates Inflammation

•C-reactive protein test–Low risk: less than 1.0 mg/L –Average risk: 1.0 to 3.0 mg/L –High risk: above 3.0 mg/L

•Homocysteine–8-12 normal range– 12 and 15 borderline–over 15 considered high risk

•Sedimentation rate–Men 0–15 millimeters per hour (mm/hr)–Women 0–20 mm/hr–Children 0–10 mm/hr –Newborns 0–2 mm/hr

Wheat Free-Gluten Free Flour

• 3 Cups brown rice flour

• ½ Cup Tapioca flour

• 1 Cup potato starch

• 1 ¼ tsp Xanthan Gum

Sift while measuring and resift.Personally, I believe that wheat was made for Man. However, if your digestion is off, if you are lacking magnesium or if wheat is a hybrid which contains gluten out of natural balance amount, then people start having a bad reaction.
