Let us look at Osteoporosis; and how Homeopaths and  Pharmaceutical Companies have a very different approach to it.

What is osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a thinning of the bones and is a natural part of the ageing process.

Bone loss is slow, throughout your life, and it is only by the time you are 80 years old , bone loss could be 25% to 50%. So its not a young person’s condition under normal circumstances.

Diagnosis.

It has no outward symptoms so diagnosis is done by Bone Scans with radioactive isotopes or by X-ray. Both of which carry a certain risk. Some people present with aching joints or stiffness. (These are NOT symptoms of Osteoporosis).  Our bones thin as we age; it is not a Disease as such.

Treatment.

Conventionally it is considered irreversible. Treatments offered are HRT, (which has been hugely discredited and now linked with increased Breast Cancer and Heart Attack; our two big world killers! Bisphosphonates (e.g.Alendronate and Risedronate) for which you are advised to stop before Dental Treatment as they can rot the jaw bone. Other drugs also carry severe side effects. E.g. SERM and Recombinant human parathyroid peptide 1-34.

The factors that increase your risk of developing Osteoporosis are:

  1. Long term drug use; corticosteroids, steroids, the contraceptive pill etc.
  2. Being female! (Oh no!)
  3. An early menopause or a Hysterectomy or Oopherectomy (ovaries removed)
  4. Smoking tobacco and excessive Alcohol.
  5. Being underweight.
  6. A family history of Osteoporosis.

The Scam.

So we now know the risks as well predisposing factors in the treatment of Osteoporosis. The big Question is WHY IS THE BAR SET SO LOW IN DIAGNOSIS?? We are all measured against a Female of 30 years of Age who clearly won’t have suffered bone loss; it is a condition of old age. But could it be that the Pharmaceutical Companies could be SO cynical, as to risk peoples Health, by putting lots of people on long term Drugs who don’t really need it? They wouldn’t, would they? It is a highly lucrative Business…..

But thank Goodness for Alternatives and the Internet.!! At least we can inform ourselves and our friends of the risks.

Homeopathy.

How can Homeopathy help with Osteoporosis?

The remedies that would be chosen would have an affinity for the bones and stimulate your own body to re-balance itself.

We have remedies that work on the Immune System and on the deeper levels. Homeopaths the world over are treating conditions that Conventional medicine is unable to cure; you can suppress the Symptoms with Pharmaceutical Drugs but you cannot cure.

Osteoporosis should be reversible, with correct Homeopathic treatment, and lifestyle changes. Homeopathy will provide steady but sure improvements with NO SIDE EFFECTS!!! No other system of Medicine can boast this.

It is a scientifically proven with hundreds of Trials proving its efficacy.

It is widely used in Europe, India, Argentina, Canada and the U.S. and its popularity is growing due to its effectiveness.

So I conclude this article on Osteoporosis and hope it has helped shed some light on a thorny subject.
