Explanation
This is a softening and weakening of bone with demineralization and loss of bone mass. This is associated with spontaneous fractures especially the hip area with a minor fall.
Considerations
Porous bone structure results from a dietary deficiency of calcium, magnesium and Vitamin D, or from poor absorption even when these elements are adequately present in the diet. Calcium is lost daily through normal excretion but any excess is stored in the long bones. When calcium or magnesium is in poor supply, the body will rob the long bones of calcium resulting in weak and brittle bones from demineralization.
Treatment
Bone repair and tissue growth begin immediately when adequate and total nutrients are supplied to the body. Sex hormone levels must be considered and the entire endocrine system supported. People with osteoporosis actually absorb and utilize calcium more rapidly than normal individuals. When the diet is natural and adequate with sufficient calcium, magnesium, Vitamins D and C, and protein, symptoms gradually disappear with a resulting loss of pain and fewer or no new fractures.
