Natural ways to build strong bone (drug free)

8 Replies

after hearing I had osteoporosis I read on the drugs available on the market and they all ALL sounded quite dangerous .

I decided to attempt to treat the osteoporosis naturally with wholesome foods and exercise . First I changed my diet cut way down on caffeine

included greens plenty of fresh veggies (delicious) managed to find a lady who sells raw mlk from her cow. The best. Exercise every day with weight vest I use the nyk one its sleek can wear it under my jacket and also got one that is quilted for cold weather weight walks in winter!

Long story short my bones are getting very strong and I am no longer in need of the bone drugs on the market - doctor said to keep up the good work and I will be strong boned and normal or osteoporosis free very soon. hope that helps

Thanks for the encouraging options. I am glad to hear someone strengthened their bones without using bone drugs. I sure don't want to go that route.

What were your bone density numbers

Congratulations. To significantly change your bone density you have to be really committed. Like a prescription for a medication: it has specific dosage and timing requirements. It's not just a sort of "loosey-goosey" hope. It has specific exercise dosage and dietary requirements (calcium dosage and timing). I know very few people who have been willing to adhere to the requirements.

That’s great I exercise eat more greens and take good care of my bones. Only thing I have accomplished is not getting worse. Happy you had such great results.

You have very good posts about osteoporosis and thyroid problems. I found out I have osteopenia after having Hashimoto’s for many years and my nurse practitioner wants to put me on Boniva or Fosamax so I said I would think about it. Meanwhile I continue to take collagen , red mineral algae and have thought of taking algaecal. Does anyone know if algaecal really works?

i HEARD its good but who knows however its so much better than being on the drugs you mention - which will make your teeth fall out cause multiple tumors in your throat and can even make your jaw bone fall off !

DONT DO THE DRUGS THEY GIVE YOU AT YOUR MD GO NATURAL

Yea I agree about not taking Fosamax or Boniva. But with the Hashimoto’s my TSH is now 0.01 with normal free T3 and normal free T4. My younger brother who has diabetes with Hashimoto’s both go to the same nurse practitioner. He takes natural desiccated thyroid yet his TSH is 11. So we compare TPO antibodies . His is normal. Mine is 135. He constantly tells me to go gluten and dairy free yet if the TSH is the root of the endocrine problem and if the TSH is a pituitary hormone then how is that fixed if not only by a gluten/ dairy free diet?
