I would like to start out by saying I am not a doctor and I do not make medical claims, I am a concerned citizen who has a passion for researching smart alternatives for our health and sharing them with others who are taking an initiative to do their research and make their own educated decisions.

There continues to be greater and greater concern about the public healthy issues surrounding what medical science has names osteoporosis.  Osteoporosis is where the (BMD) bone mineral density is reduced to the point where bone microarchitecture is disrupted, and the amount and variety of non-collagenous protein in the bone is altered, the bone has become porous like a "honeycomb."

In 2001, national attention was focused on the ever-increasing concerns regarding bone diseases when both the House and Senate jointly commissioned the Surgeon General to issue a first-ever Report to the Nation on the status of research and education on osteoporosis and related bone disease.  Furthermore, to set forth a plan of action to comprehensively address the urgent need to reverse the increasing toll of the disease.

In 2004 the Surgeon General's "Report on Bone Health and Osteoporosis" was released.  In summary, the Report calls osteoporosis a "silent" condition because many Americans are unaware that their bone health is in jeopardy.  In fact, four times as many men and nearly three times as many women have osteoporosis than those that report the condition.  Plus, osteoporosis affects men and women of all races, and while bone weakness manifests primarily in older Americans, the Report made a point of emphasizing that strong bones really begin in childhood.

One recommendation that came from the Report was focusing on the value and impact of proper nutrition.  Especially foods that contained significant sources of Calcium, Phosphorus and Vitamin D.  This Report also calls upon Health Care Professionals to help Americans maintain healthy bones "by evaluating risks for patients of all ages.." that may indicate someone is at risk.

With this information said, here are my comments.  For Health Care Professionals to be able to help their patients determine if they are at risk for having or developing bone disease, they must be able to establish if there is an ongoing mineral deficiency in progress before their patients' bones ever begin to get close to osteopenia, which is "bone poverty," the next step is osteoporosis.  Common bone density tests are looking at the ongoing effect after the fact, not the cause.  Truly strong bones must begin in childhood with proper nourishment. 

So how can we maintain strong bones at any age?

*Your LIVER needs to be in proper working health, to supply the needs for the rest of the body, this includes, Water, Oxygen and Calcium.

*Calcium, your body needs the right types of Calcium in the daily diet, moving through the intestinal tract, in order for all organs and tissues of the body, through the liver, to be perfectly supplied with enough mineral energy from the food.  Calcium deficiency in the digestive tract, means poor mineral energy production and delivery.

*Food, should be our primary source for  minerals.  However, with the endemically mineral deficient foods available today, the diet must be supplemented only with the correct Calcium types and associated minerals and vitamins necessary for each individuals needs.

*Vitamin C and D, are needed for healthy bones and any organ.

*Vitamin K

*Magnesium

*Chemical Colloids, the prime source for Chemical Colloids, comes from either high quality, (high Brix), (Brix is the unit of measure from a refractometer that can directly interpret the sugar content, the higher the Brix reading the greater the nutritional value), foods grown incorporating soft rock colloidal phosphate.  Chemical Colloids can levitate in air or water and go with the flow of either.  The harder the substance, the more chemical colloid must be available to supply the needs of the cells as they are replaced, rebuilt and restored.

*The ultimate determinate of how strongly bone is built or how quickly bone is restored when minerally depleted.  Chemical Colloids act as friction reducers to the movement of mineral molecules into the cell, all mineral (except nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen and carbon) can only be carried into the cells attached to phosphate.  Chemical Colloids are a significant source of this vital nontoxic phosphate that moves mineral into cells.

*The prime construction of material of bone is Calcium Phosphate, including chemical colloids. 

*Bones are the main Mineral Reservoir and anytime the body is unable to get enough mineral, especially Calcium, from the diet, it will take from the bones.  This is generally the start of osteopena.

This can be a start to determining where to start and how you can ultimately maintain stonger bones...at any age.
