How To Avoid Osteoporosis
and Dried Out Joints
Make No Bones About It
As we grow older, our bones lose density and become more brittle, some more than others, leading to broken bones as a result of a fall or accident that otherwise would have resulted in only getting badly bruised.
This bone problem is known as osteoporosis and the drug companies are having a hay-day with it.
This hay-day, making drug companies ecstatically happy and profitable beyond their wildest dreams, happened through the successful practice of direct marketing of drugs to the consumer, a practice that should never have been permitted, but has the FDA's blessings and approval.
Direct to consumer marketing, simultaneously done with the drug's promotion to doctors, has proven to be a powerful marketing tool for the sale of drugs by creating fear and imagined illnesses among consumers, through rattling off a vague list of symptoms which everyone normally has, creating the illusion there is illness where none really exists.
These slick TV commercials are successfully getting people into self diagnosis and getting them to flock to their doctor to get signed up for life for the advertised drug with it's inherent side affects.
True, there are those who do have the problem, a problem which can usually be treated and overcome nutritionally, but drug companies won't tell you about that.
Drug company ads succeed by portraying happy life style changes if only you take their drugs for osteoporoses, cholesterol, high blood pressure, arthritis, heart disease, acid reflux, etc., etc., whether you need it or not and whether or not there is a better way through nutrition.
And saying that---it is important to remember that your body is the great healer----if you give it the right nutrition.
Causes of Osteoporosis
In a recent Associated Press article, data from 2003 showed a sevenfold increase in diagnosis of osteoporosis since 1994. The article also stated that doctor's visits jumped nearly five times over the same period. What's interesting is that there were high-profile releases of new drugs to treat osteoporoses in 1995, 1997, and 1998 which co-insides with this sudden increase in the drug company's high powered marketing on TV and in magazines.
I'm 81, and I have strong bones and good joints. So what do I do to avoid osteoporosis and dried out joints? I do what science has proven to be effective years ago, that by increasing the flow of growth hormone from your pituitary gland (which you lose as you age) your bone density increases, your bones strengthen and your joints stay healthy.
How do you increase growth hormone flow? By taking special amino acid nutritional supplements that have no side affects, and by making sure you get a goodly supply of B vitamins, calcium and plenty of sunshine which so many people hide from.
Now that doesn't mean you need to lay down and bake in the sun for hours on end, but it does mean go get a good shot of sun without use of a sunscreen. Natural vitamin D from the sun does a great job in getting your body to absorb calcium which works to strengthen you bones. (Growth hormone has many other wonderful benefits, but that is for another time.)
No one needs to get osteoporosis and almost no one needs to take drugs to prevent it.
Eat healthy, stimulate the release of your own natural growth hormone with nutritional supplements, get plenty of vitamin D laden sunshine, exercise, and you can stop worrying about your body shrinking, bent over backs, and hip, arm and leg fractures.
