Calcium And Vitamin D For Bone Health – Is It Really Useful?

October 28th, 2011 Comments Off

Supplementation with calcium and Vitamin D is routinely recommended to prevent osteoporosis and bone fractures in postmenopausal women. Taking calcium increases calcium in the blood, making more available for uptake into the bone. With normal aging, there is a decrease in calcium absorption by the stomach. Vitamin D is known to increase calcium absorption in the gut, as well as acting synergistically with calcium to promote bone density. This has led to the common practice of prescribing calcium and Vitamin D supplementation for the prevention of hip fractures. It sounds so good and all makes logical sense, and it can’t hurt, so why not go ahead and do it?

However, just because you become deficient in something with aging, doesn’t mean that supplementation will correct the problem. Studies have shown that calcium and vitamin D supplementation in people over age 65 increased total bone density, but not necessarily in areas that matter, like the femoral neck, which causes hip fracture. The only studies which showed that calcium and Vitamin D prevented hip fractures were done in French women who had osteoporosis and were living in nursing homes. However these women may have calcium and/or Vitamin D deficiency due to diet or lack of sunlight from being in a nursing home.

Other studies in individuals outside nursing homes found no beneficial effects from Vitamin D and calcium supplementation in terms of hip fracture prevention. One study of patients who had a fracture and became immobile did not find any benefit of Vitamin D and calcium in the prevention of secondary fractures. The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study included 36,282 premenopausal women age 50 to 79 who were randomly assigned to receive 1000 mg of calcium with 400 IU of Vitamin D-3 or placebo with a follow-up of 7 years for assessment of bone fracture. Supplementation did not reduce the risk of hip fracture. Although there was an increase in hip bone density, there was also an increase in kidney stones. Since increasing hipbone density has no practical benefit and is not related to reducing the risk of hip fracture, while increasing kidney stones is definitely negative, there is no reason to take these supplements.

Bottom line? Take a walk in the sun, and eat a balanced diet with lots of greens and vegetables to get your calcium fix.

Feeding Dogs Bones

October 26th, 2011 Comments Off

For decades, images of dogs happily chewing on bones have been promoted on television and in motion pictures. As a result, pet owners have been feeding their dogs both raw and cooked bones, thinking that they are providing a natural form of nutrition for their pets. In reality, they are compromising the dog’s health and unintentionally risking the animal’s life. The consumption of bones by dogs has resulted in vomiting, organ puncture, and cancer. Feeding dogs bones is not a good thing to do!

Dogs are natural and instinctive scavengers. They might not be fed bones by their guardian, but they can find them in trash cans, on unattended plates, and when they find a dead animal, such as a bird or rat. This is very dangerous and must be prevented. One of the more common dangers of bone consumption is bone splinters. Bones from small birds, such as starlings, or medium-sized birds, such as chickens, as well as fish and other meats, can easily splinter when chewed and disperse inside an unsuspecting dog, leading to ripping and tearing of internal organs, and, possibly, death.

In addition to the intestinal danger that results from eating bones, dogs may experience cracking or breaking of teeth. This could result in prolonged periods of pain for the animal because tooth injuries are not as easily noticed as other physical ailments. When the problem is discovered, the dog may have to undergo oral surgery to remove infections, reconstruct a tooth, or extract teeth. This is painful and traumatic for the dog and can be very costly for the dog’s guardian.

If a pet owner is in doubt regarding proper nutrition for a dog, it is recommended that they consult a veterinarian, or, at the very least, perform cursory research on the internet. Food requirements vary, depending on a dog’s breed, weight, and size. If a pet owner can’t bear not to give the dog a treat, use rawhide or chew bones made of dog food purchased at the store or pet shop.

A proper diet for a dog contains a balance of nutrients that are low in fat and are easily digestible. Veterinarians do not recommend that dogs receive ‘table scraps’ or leftovers from the owner’s meals. Eating these foods can result in weight gain and a rejection of food specifically prepared for dogs. In particular, dogs should never be given chocolate, raw meats, or raw organ meats. These foods can cause skeletal problems and toxicity in dogs. They, along with real bones, are a “No, no!”

One of the best, and most easily accessible, sources of information regarding animal nutrition is the internet. A concerned dog owner can search the internet using words such as “feeding dogs,” “dog food,” or “dog nutrition.” The resulting information will include general nutrition information, feeding a specific a breed of dog, and training a dog to eat certain foods. Chew bones and other safe treats are also available on the internet.

Dogs can be fed properly, safely, and consistently when everyone in the home, or family and friends outside the home, are aware of the dog’s dietary needs. This information will help anyone who may be taking care of the dog in an owner’s absence. Dog owners should list the foods that the dog eats and the way in which the food is prepared. Also, there should be a prominent notation stating that feeding bones to the dog is prohibited. Since feeding dogs bones is very dangerous, be sure that no one, family, friend, or dog-sitter ever does!

Bone Health

October 25th, 2011 Comments Off

Bone Health is critical for men and women of all ages, but is equally critical for children beginning at an early age.

The National Institute of Health reports “It is especially important to build strong and healthy bones in the childhood and teen years to avoid osteoporosis and other bone problems later in life. Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones are fragile, making them fracture or break much easier. Taking care of your bones when you’re young will help prevent problems in the future”.

Ninety percent of your bone mass forms before 20 years of age. Up until the age of about 25, bone still gradually increases in mass and density, as calcium and other minerals are deposited. Bone breakdown begins when the osteoclasts dissolve the old bone faster than the osteoblasts can keep up with the ‘replacement’. As this continues, the honeycomb-like structure becomes thinner, more brittle and disconnected. Over time, the entire structure of the bone starts to erode. This can cause the bone to lose its density and strength.

A healthy skeletal system with strong bones is essential to overall health and quality of life. Yet, today, far too many individuals suffer from bone disease and fractures, much of which could be prevented. An estimated 12 million Americans over age 50 have osteoporosis (the most common bone disease), while another 40 million are at risk. The number of sufferers is however set to increase steadily with growing numbers of elderly living longer, and obesity adding extra strain on bones. In recognition of the importance of promoting bone health and preventing fractures, President George W. Bush has declared 2002-2011 as the Decade of the Bone and Joint. With this designation, the United States has joined with other nations throughout the world in committing resources to accelerate progress in a variety of areas related to the musculoskeletal system, including bone disease and arthritis [US-DHHS, 2000; 2004].

The Problem: Women can lose up to 20% of their bone mass in the first 5 to 7 years after menopause.

Each year more women break a bone due to Osteoporosis than have a stroke, heart attack or breast cancer combined!

The Solution: OsteoDenx – Natural, Safe and Effective with no detrimental side effects. I repeat,

no detrimental side effects! Can you say that about the drugs on the market for osteoporosis and osteopenia?

Knee Pain and Bone Spurs

October 24th, 2011 Comments Off

Knee pain can have a variety of sources, including bone spurs. When bone spurs occur in the knee, it can be quite annoying to put it mildly. Apparently, bone spurs just happen. Physicians don’t have a good explanation as to why they appear; I’ve asked. In my situation it literally kept me on needles and pins.

Caution: If you are experiencing any continuing pain in your knees, always consult with your physician to determine the cause.

About five years ago I spent several days on my knees staining and refinishing an oak floor. After that, whenever I knelt, it felt like I was kneeling on needles and pins. I could tolerate the occasional pain, but in Church, I was reminded weekly. My orthopaedist took x-rays and pointed out multiple bone spurs on the backside of each patella. He said there wasn’t much he could do and it would eventually end my running. Oh joy!

Being the adventurous type, I bought a bottle of joint supplement containing Glucosamine HCl and Boswellia. To my surprise, it took away the needles and pins in about a week. I could kneel again. I was healed! When the bottle was finished, I stopped taking it to verify the supplement actually worked. After a week, the needles and pins returned.

The glucosamine and boswellia helped but made my joints feel “loose” even “slippery”, so I wanted to try something else. A co-worker mentioned her friend’s husband couldn’t function without MSM (methyl-sulfonyl-methane) for his joints. I tried the MSM; it worked; and my joints felt more normal. I asked my orthopaedist about the MSM. Curiously, he responded “What’s that?” It surprised me that he wasn’t aware of other supplements his patients might be taking to help with joint pain.

Currently I’m taking a supplement containing glucosamine and MSM (1500 mg each, one tablet per day). I can kneel and currently run about 10 miles a week. To date, the needles and pins have not returned. Several times I have landed hard on my knee and the resulting pain reminds me that the bone spurs are still there, waiting. Perhaps in the future I may need to up my dosage or try other products containing chondroitin to keep the bone spurs in check. Until then, I’ll stick with what works for me.

Knee Pain and Bone Spurs

My name is Gary England. I write about my experiences dealing with injuries, exercises, and other issues that I have encountered while running over the years. You can learn more at http://kneeexerciseshq.com

I have been running regularly for over forty years. While in high school, I started running barefoot on the beach. Nowadays I run (in shoes) about 10-12 miles a week in the park near my home. I enjoy running as an exercise, especially outdoors even in the winter.

What You Should Know About Bone Health – An Eastern Medicine Path To Healthy Bones

October 23rd, 2011 Comments Off

Maintaining strong, healthy bones is a crucial part of a healthy lifestyle. Most of us know that adequate calcium consumption and weight-bearing physical activity is helpful for building strong bones and may reduce the risk of osteoporosis (a reduction of bone mineral density) later in life. But, when someone has an injury to their bones or suffers from osteoporosis, they are often only aware of Western Medicine’s drug options as a way to restore tired bones to their former health. As always, these drug-based remedies may offer help for some, but they unfortunately can lead to harmful side effects while not addressing the primary cause of the problem.

Eastern Medicine Provides a More Natural and Healthful Solution.

Practitioners of Eastern Medicine focus on recommendations that improve your kidney energy.

Kidney energy is a concept created by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners to describe an energy pathway that is believed to be the root energy within the body and linked to your body’s growth, development, reproduction and strength of its bones. Kidney energy also influences longevity, memory, dental health, thyroid, cardiac and immune function and the retina and ears.

This article focuses on the effects of the kidney energy’s function on bone health. In TCM, kidney energy controls the calcium metabolism in your bones as well as microcirculation (the circulation of blood in the small blood vessels around bones). Low kidney energy contributes to bone demineralization and acidosis caused by inadequate micro-circulation. This acidosis by itself can cause further demineralization.

Osteopenia is the term used to describe mild demineralization. Osteoporosis refers to more severe cases. Western Medicine offers many conventional treatments for demineralized bones, including pharmaceutical bisphosphonates (e.g. Boniva, Actonel, Fosamax), estrogen hormonal therapy and SERM (Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators like Evista), and calcium/ magnesium/Vitamin D.

Unfortunately, none of these therapies have a positive effect on the kidney energy and circulatory deficiencies. One expert has compared the osteoporotic bones as a sieve. Pouring more calcium into the system does not solve the problem. Also, one of the more serious side effects of bisphosphonates is an exacerbation of the inherent circulatory deficiency associated with osteoporosis, causing death of the bones (osteonecrosis).

So if bone health is associated with strong kidney energy, how do we keep our kidney energy healthy? There are three simple things that can make a difference for bone health.

1. Avoid diets that aggravate acidosis. Sugars, starches and excess protein all contribute to acidosis and bone demineralization. Balanced diets with an emphasis on alkalinizing foods, such as green vegetables, are most valuable.

2. Kidney energy (along with many of the other organs’ energies) is enhanced by exercise. Weight-bearing exercises like walking, running and weight lifting are particularly helpful for strengthening the kidney energy and bones.

3. Kidney energy is depleted by stress and enhanced by stress-reduction.

Anything that enhances our happiness, relaxation and peace of mind benefits our bone health. (All the things your grandmother taught you are probably true: healthy diet, exercise and positive thoughts can strengthen bones and extend longevity.)

As for natural dietary supplements, there are many substances that can help to enhance our bones, including magnesium citrate, Vitamin D3, moderate doses of calcium, minerals, fish oil, antioxidants and Vitamin B12. There are also effective herbal kidney tonics that can enhance kidney energy to optimize calcium metabolism, circulation and bone health.

In my practice, I’ve had great success adding Get Well Natural’s Spine Well supplement to my patient’s diet. This product contains strong kidney tonifying ingredients, making it a perfect option for promoting healthy kidney energy. It’s important to remember that as we age, kidney energy tends to decline, thus explaining some possible reasons why we suffer from more spinal, bone and joint pain as we get older.

This is why I believe it is very important to practice an Eastern Medicine path to maintaining strong and healthy bones.

Laser Use in Bone Healing

October 22nd, 2011 Comments Off

What is low-level laser therapy?

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a painless and noninvasive treatment by means of a laser device which uses low intensity phonic energy in order to reduce pain, reduce swelling, and promote healing at the cell and tissue levels.

There are many uses for LLLT that are both cosmetic, such as liposuction and breast augmentation, and physical, such as for shoulder and neck pain and burn and bone healing. Low-level lasers are cleared as a market device by FDA regulations.

How does it work for bone healing?

Laser therapy activates the bone cells with energy which enhances cell regeneration which will increase blood flow and decrease inflammation. Initially, for bone healing the device is physician administered, but once the treatment has been ordered and the procedure has been gone over by a doctor, it can be administered personally at home. The procedure is simple and painless. The laser device is either held or gently moved in the area where the bone needs healing.

How long will it take for results?

The length of time it will take for the bone to heal depends on the extent of the injury, but most notice progress almost instantly, and broken bones have been known to heal two times faster than healing without the use of LLLT.

Who could benefit from LLLT for bone healing?

Low-level laser therapy as a bone healing device is still in the experimental stages, but there have been many have seen remarkable outcomes and initial research is finding healing results. Anyone with a broken or fractured bone/s as well as those who have recently had orthopedic surgery can benefit from the healing and pain relieving capability of low-level laser therapy. Also those who find themselves dealing with arthritis pain could benefit from LLLT. In addition, those in any industry that deals with bone injury, such as in sports medicine and physical therapy, could also benefit by adding low-level therapy into their treatment regimen.

Calcium Scan Technology – Measuring Heart Health

October 21st, 2011 Comments Off

Many people are at risk for heart attacks and are not even aware that there is a problem. Fortunately there is a test known as an electron beam computer tomography or EBCT that can detect increased risk for heart attack in people based on the amount of calcium in their arteries. This test is usually done on healthy individuals who have no predisposed risk of heart attack.

A calcium scan, as the EBCT is more commonly known, takes around 90 seconds to complete and can cost about 0 on average. It measures and detects the amount of calcium deposits in coronary arteries. Based on this information, doctors can better treat and prevent heart attacks for many people who are otherwise healthy individuals.

Calcium scan scores are based on a scale, and a higher score points to a higher risk of heart attack. This score points to more calcium build up in the arteries, which is the main cause of heart attacks for many people who are generally healthy. Even for those who are at risk for heart problems, this scan can be a preventative measure that can be done on a regular basis.

A Calcium scan score will be based on a scale from 0 to 2112. There are four categories of risk. Anyone with a score of 10 or less are classified as having insignificant atherosclerosis, while scores of 10 to 99 indicate mild atherosclerosis. Any score between 100 and 399 is considered moderate atherosclerosis, and scores over 400 indicate advanced atherosclerosis. This scan is not completely able to rule out atherosclerosis, because soft plaque can become calcified later on, so having regular scans might be necessary.

The Many Health Benefits of Playing Badminton

October 20th, 2011 Comments Off

Badminton is a fantastic sport. Not only is it great fun and a good opportunity to socialize with like minded people, but there are also many health benefits of playing badminton.

Let’s take a look at a few of these now.

Flexibility – no one can deny that Badminton improves your flexibility in most of the major muscles, including the hamstrings, erector spinae, pectorals, triceps and many other areas. It’s an absolute necessity that good players maintain a healthy level of flexibility in all of these muscles. Whilst stretching hasn’t been proven to have a positive effect before playing, there is certainly plenty of evidence to prove that it is beneficial afterwards.

Strength – Obviously your upper body won’t gain too much strength due to playing Badminton, but your forearms, thighs and calves will be sufficiently challenged to improve their strength and power. Anyone who has ever done a series of jump smashes back to back will testify to the huge challenge this places on the thighs muscles.

Muscular Endurance – Absolutely vital to any Badminton players, it’s the ability to keep going right to the end of a match. Virtually every muscle group has to continuously contract in a long game of badminton. From the calves right up to the shoulders.

Heart and Lungs – Again Badminton places a very challenging workload on the heart. Those who regularly play singles or against a particularly good doubles pairing will agree with me on this one. Short bursts of all out effort are often required in quick fire rallies which can often last for well over 10 shots per point. This series of stop start action, intense activity interspersed with short periods of rest is very much like interval training which is rapidly becoming one of the most popular types of fitness training techniques.

Mobility – As we age our joints can become less fluid or moveable. The connective tissue and bone endings can become worn and are therefore not as mobile as when we were younger. It’s important as we age to maintain a certain amount of movement in our joints otherwise both our posture and the performance of simple everyday tasks becomes much more of a challenge. Badminton helps to lubricate and mobilise almost all the joints on the body so again it’s a very useful sport to take part in.

These are just a few of the most obvious health benefits of playing Badminton, but what many people overlook is the social side of the sport. Not only for meeting and interacting with people who share the same passion for the sport as you, but more so for the bringing together of people who love to use and challenge their bodies in a way that can actually improve their health and well being the way that Badminton can do.

Health Screening – A Revolutionizing Process to Prevent and Treat Any Disease Effectively

October 19th, 2011 Comments Off

Health Screening – Prevention and Disease control.

The new “holistic health center” consists of different, completely holistic (entire body) oriented components: A) Fast, effective, pain-free and non-invasive diagnosis, B) Analyzing and immediate treatment of meridian blockages, C) Energy therapy for over 200 disease conditions including cancer, nerve- and bone related diseases, D) Health monitoring and effective prevention to avoid future disease manifestation.

A Holistic Health Center in the design of a mini-clinic will serve the urgent need of health screening and prevention. Health Screening is a new method for early non-invasive diagnosis, usually performed within a few minutes. It is based on the over 5.000 year old knowledge of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is the first reliable Meridian Diagnostic in the world. Cost efficient and highly accurate – up 95%.

Meridian diagnostic is the core concept of efficient health analyzes. A computer based high tech measurement of the 12 main meridians and its correlated organs. It provides a complete energetically picture of a person displayed in an easy to read graphical format. The measuring points are (20) on the fingers and (20) on the toes. Overall biological energy levels, meridian balance, yin – yang, left – right, top – bottom organs, etc. is recorded and can be used for future therapy control (health screening).

Energy levels over 50% reflect health, vitality, less aging, high immune system activity. Energy levels under 50% reflect energy deficit, low immune system activity, disease condition, chronic diseases.

Therapy suggestions are displayed with exact treatment points. One of the major advantages of the Meridian Diagnostic is the advantage to discover unknown Meridian Blockages in the system. When one or more meridian blockages exists the patient becomes Therapy Resistant, which means no therapy will have a sufficient effect. With the BioGraph meridian diagnostic system we are able not only to discover blockages furthermore we can treat and “delete” those blockages immediately. The patient turns from therapy resistant into therapy receptive. The therapy effects are re-established.

The second component in the Holistic Health Center is the world leading and cost efficient “Pulsating Energy Resonance Therapy” (PERTH) acc. to Prof. Dr. Werner (Germany).

Four (4) complete professional therapy systems on a therapy bed will serve app. 32-50 people treatments per day. The capacity can be extended to 8 therapy systems and will serve more than 64 people treatments per day. The basic research of the PERTH therapy started in the early 1920′s with Dr. Royal Rife (The end of all diseases), later research by over 200 Russian researcher for the space program MIR in Russia and since 1994 the research is finalized by a well known German researcher and medical professional Prof. Dr. Werner. In cooperation with leading German universities Werner developed the cancer and bone therapy programs with proven results in 1000′s of medical and clinical studies.

The new PRTH P5 professional treatment system is easy to use, non-invasive, pain free and highly effective for prevention and disease treatment. The energy increase can be monitored with the Meridian Diagnosis immediately after a treatment session.

Particular meridians and related organs are effected long time before a disease becomes a pathological issue. (green – normal, yellow – attention and red – signals treatment is necessary). For example most cancer patients have an energy level of only 25%, or energy deficit of 75%. This means the immune system is nearly not functioning anymore. Fertile ground for cancer cell grow is established without major defense. Cancer can spread in the body. The reverse circumstance high energy levels – a powerful immune system, health and vitality and a non toxic environment don’t allow cancer cell grow. Disease development of any kind becomes impossible. The Meridian Diagnosis and PERTH treatment combination will make those scenarios visible and immediate treatment plans can be developed. The treatment effect is tested and recorded on a patient by patient basis during the very first measurement – therapy – measurement sequence.

This reflects the most effective way to prevent any kind of disease long time before it would appear. In addition the treatment of existing diseases is not “blind” anymore and the patient – treatment response can be finalized through different therapy applicators. For example mat treatment for energy balancing and meridian harmonization, oxygen increase in the blood (65% after 10 minutes), immune system boost, better sleep and vitalization etc. The treatment with the head applicator for the central nervous system, head, eye, ear, nose diseases and brain related diseases like Parkinson, Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer’s etc. The intensive applicator for all joint related problems and to rebuild the cartilage, which is alone a phenomena and was completely impossible before. Finally a point applicator for any pain related circumstance. The PERTH therapy system is very easy to use, any therapist assistant can perform the treatment after a short introduction. As soon a therapy plan is in place patients for therapy or prevention can go in and out on their scheduled appointment without long waiting periods.

Fractured Humerus Treatment and Sports Physical Exams: Protect Your Bone Health at Any Age

October 18th, 2011 Comments Off

Bone-related injuries occur in young and old people alike.They are often caused by a one-time injury to the bone (acute fracture) but they may also be caused by repeated stress to the bone over time (stress fracture). Stress fractures are common among young athletes due to poor training or conditioning, and immature bones. It’s important to schedule a sports physical exam before jumping into a new activity in order to prevent stress fractures.A sports physical exam will determine an athlete’s overall health and fitness level.Elderly people are susceptible fractures as well-particularly due to osteoporosis and falls, which may require fracture humerus treatment, and can avoid bone injury through exercise and improving bone health.

Sports Physical Exams

Stress fractures commonly occur in sports that cause repetitive impact from running or jumping, such as basketball and gymnastics.They occur commonly when an athlete begins an unfamiliar physical motion, so it’s essential to get a sports physical exam before engaging in a new athletic activity.The doctor performing a sports physical exam will determine an athlete’s level of physical fitness.Stress fractures occur almost exclusively in the legs and feet, but can occur in virtually any bone in the body.Treatment involves rest and avoiding the activity that caused the fracture.

Fractured Humerus Treatment

Acute fractures occur from a one-time impact.Humerus (upper arm bone) fractures are typically caused by high-velocity blunt trauma, such as falling, and affect the elderly more often than young athletes. Fracture humerus treatment begins with a trip to the emergency room or urgent care center to determine the severity of the fracture and possible nerve and circulation problems.Generally, surgery and casting is not involved for fracture humerus treatment, and the injured person will wear a sling for about six weeks.

More involved fracture humerus treatments may be needed if the fracture is complex. In this case, a doctor will treat the fracture with ORIF, or internal fixation surgery.This fracture humerus treatment involves insertion of plates and screws, or rods and nails into the arm. Recovery time varies for everyone, depending on the severity of the break and fracture humerus treatment received.

To avoid bone-related injuries, take appropriate precautions.For young athletes, it’s important to choose age-appropriate sports, and to get a sports physical exam before engaging in any team activity.During a sports physical exam, a doctor checks the athlete’s height, weight, blood pressure, the heart and lungs, eyesight and overall strength. Wear correct footwear for running, and padding for contact sports.Elderly people can reduce the risk of bone injuries and fracture humerus treatment by exercising to maintain agility, and by taking calcium and vitamin D supplements to improve bone health.
