Causes of Osteoporosis:

  • Diets high in refined carbohydrates (sugar, sweets, soda pop, etc.) or hydrogenated fats
  • Excessive use of colas, tobacco and alcohol
  • Genetic pre-disposition (slender, small boned females)
  • Excessive use of aluminum containing antacids (Tums) and antiperspirants
  • Thyroid/Parathyroid imbalance
  • Low hydrochloric acid levels
  • Lack of exercise
  • Magnesium, calcium, vitamin K or Manganese insufficiency
  • Chlorinated and fluorinated water
  • Estrogen/Progesterone imbalance
  • Low sodium diets
  • Diets low in Boron (Boron is found in leafy greens and vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds)

Signs of Calcium Imbalance:

  • Dental problems
  • Arthritis (excess calcium and or thyroid imbalance)
  • Depression (after starting calcium supplement)
  • Weight gain (before or after starting calcium supplement)
  • Kidney stones, gall bladder stones and heel spurs
  • Indigestion, constipation or diarrhea
  • Anxiety, an over or under active thyroid
  • Hearing and sight loss
  • Tendon and muscle pain and spasm
  • Sleep disturbance

Calcium to avoid!

  • Calcium Carbonate (cheap filler, ground up sea shells)
  • Choral Calcium (cheap filler, ground up sea shells)
  • Cow’s milk or dairy products, which have the wrong ratio of calcium to magnesium for humans. This can cause imbalances in bones. Many adults and children have allergies to dairy products.

Foods High in Calcium:

  • Sardines and smelt.
  • Egg yolks.
  • Almonds, sesame seeds and other nuts.
  • Green leafy vegetables, kale and collard greens, dark lettuce broccoli etc.

Read labels! You may find that anything labeled “enriched” may have added calcium. The daily requirement for calcium is 800-1000 mg. Adding too much calcium in supplement form can cause an imbalance such as Osteoporosis. The key is absorption. There are multiple body functions that have gone wrong (starting with low HCI levels, etc.) for bone loss to occur.
