What is Osteoporosis, and Can It Be Reversed or Healed?
os·te·o·po·ro·sis
ˌästēōpəˈrōsəs/ noun
- a medical condition in which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue, typically as a result of hormonal changes, or deficiency of Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Magnesium, Calcium, and/or other minerals and nutrients.
According to a study by PMC (US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health), “Osteoporosis is normally the result of a wrong lifestyle (diet, physical inactivity, smoking, dental hygiene, intestinal dysbiosis,…) and environmental toxicity that stimulates the chronic expression of inflammatory genes and alters the immuno-endocrine balance. A natural approach should face all the factors involved, leading the patients to become aware of their own responsibility, and helping them with natural therapies, healthy food, and lifestyle, which support their body in the process of self-healing. Keywords: osteoporosis, epigenetics, lifestyle, chronic inflammation, intestinal dysbiosis, Leaky Gut Syndrome, acidifying diet, heavy metals.” (1)
Despite the popular opinion that Osteoporosis is due to genetics or the lack of calcium, it has much more to do with gut health, nutrient deficiency, hormone imbalance, environmental influences, and diet. As with any condition, it is critically important when treating Osteoporosis to know the cause in order to address the condition properly and effectively. Though this will be as unique as the individual, for almost everyone, it will involve one or a combination of the above, with a few exceptions. We’ll be looking at all the above factors mentioned and others, though not necessarily in the order given above.
