"In addition, in all ages it reduces bone fractures, colon cancer, and mortality rates. The bad news from the WHI is that use of medroxyprogesterone (Provera) is associated with an increase in breast cancer and heart disease. In all ages, oral synthetic hormone use increases blood clots and stroke, and in women who start hormones more than ten years after menopause, hormone use does not reduce heart disease. Timing of Hormones The WHI study showed that the closer a woman was to menopause when she began using estrogen, the less likely she was to develop heart disease." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"The article continues: Not only do statins greatly reduce cholesterol and lower mortality in people at risk for heart attacks, but some studies also suggest that they might help prevent or treat a wide range of ailments, including Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, bone fractures, some types of cancer, macular degeneration and glaucoma.'0 Quite a list. Of all these claims, the most important is that statins prevent heart attacks, or other mortal events among those with high blood cholesterol." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"Ire a t m e n t s One of the drug industry's most charming commercials features a healthy and glamorous-looking sixty-something actress who confides to viewers that she has gotten shorter and that her doctor told her she might have bone fractures. Then she smiles and cheerfully advises women to see their doctors if they have gotten shorter. She also says that osteoporosis may be making women's bones brittle. The words Actonel (risedronate) float across the screen, and a male voice fires off the typical list of possible side effects, caveats, and contraindications." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.) "CALCIUM AND VITAMIN D Doctors routinely recommend supplementation with calcium and vitamin D 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 (cholecalciferol) is known to increase calcium absorption in the gut as well as to act synergistically with calcium to promote bone density." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.) "There is no evidence that taking calcium or vitamin D when you are young will prevent bone fractures in old age. Studies have shown that calcium and vitamin D supplementation in people over age sixty-five increased total bone density but not necessarily in the areas that matter, like the femoral neck.8 Moreover, the changes in bone-mineral density in areas like the femoral neck (which cause hip fracture) were present only for men and not women. This is important since osteoporotic fractures primarily affect women." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"These injuries include sprains, strains, dislocation or partial dislocation (subluxation), torn ligaments or tendons, bone fractures, and repetitive stress injuries. The most common causes of sports injuries are failure to warm up or cool down properly before or after exercise, structural abnormalities (for example, abnormal joint structure), and weak connective tissues. Some injuries can become chronic, particularly repetitive stress injuries." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.) "Sports injuries are a very common occurrence and many of them can be treated without major medical intervention, the exceptions being bone fractures and torn connective tissue. After a sports injury, a series of metabolic processes often known as inflammation take place. One of the major concerns when treating inflammation is capillary blood flow, so the RICE (rest, ice, compression, and elevation) treatment method is usually recommended. As the smallest blood vessels in the body, capillaries are responsible for carrying oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removing waste." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"If skeletal fragility develops, bone fractures can occur with minimal or no trauma, a condition known as osteoporosis. The ability to reverse bone deficits with early diagnosis and treatment remains uncertain. Amenorrhea most often results from excessive exercise or energy intakes too low to sustain physiologic levels of estrogen. Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat. In this condition body weight is less than 86% of normal for height and age." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "Milk avoiders have increased risk for prepubertal bone fractures [56]. Retrospective studies have shown the incidence of postmenopausal fracture is inversely related to drinking milk in childhood [57, 58]. In the nationally representative NHANES data base, the incidence of hip fracture was twice as likely in those who consumed one glass of milk or less per week compared to those who consumed at least one serving per day during childhood [57]. Milk consumption in children has declined over time." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "Children who avoid drinking cow's milk are at increased risk for prepubertal bone fractures. /. Am. Diet. Assoc. 104, 250-253. 57. Kalkwarf, H. J., Khoury, J. C, and Lanphear, B. P. (2003).

"The good news was that there were fewer bone fractures and less colon cancer, and despite the increases in cancer and clots, the mortality rate was actually lower in the Prempro group compared with the placebo group. The WHI study was meant to provide information about the use of hormones in menopause, but instead it generated more heat than light. Unfortunately, after the Prempro arm of the study was ended prematurely, mass hysteria ensued. Millions of women went off all hormone replacement." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) "Calcium supplements taken alone, without hormones, did not reduce bone fractures. The Heart/Progestin Replacement Study (HERS), published in 1998, was funded by Wyeth-Ayerst laboratories, the makers of Prempro (a combination of Premarin, synthetic horse estrogen, and Provera, synthetic medroxyprogesterone). This study followed 2,763 postmenopausal women with an average age of sixty-seven. In this age group, despite small improvements in good cholesterol and some lowering of bad cholesterol, Prempro failed to reduce heart disease, compared with women not taking any hormones." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) "If you are in your forties or fifties and you choose not to use any hormone support, you will be at increased risk of developing bone fractures, heart disease, colon cancer, and dementia. You will also be more likely to suffer from fatigue, depression, low sex drive, and sleep that is not deep or refreshing. Without hormone support, you will have a shorter life span. You will also have a greater chance of developing vaginal and urinary infections, deeper skin creases, and hair loss. You will still have a one in nine chance of developing breast cancer." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"Using eighty-seven surveys in thirty-three countries, it compared the ratio of vegetable to animal protein consumption to the rate of bone fractures (Chart 10.2).1 A high ratio of vegetable to animal protein consumption was found to be impressively associated with a virtual disappearance of bone fractures. These studies are compelling for several reasons. They were published in leading research journals, the authors were careful in their analyses and CHART 10.2: ASSOCIATION OF ANIMAL VERSUS PLANT PROTEIN INTAKE AND BONE FRACTURE RATES FOR DIFFERENT COUNTRIES I_i_i_i_i_i_' ' 0.0 1.0 2.0 3." - T.

"For this reason, pancreatic enzymes are frequently used by Naturopaths to treat a variety of conditions, including lung infections, tooth infections, bone fractures, and as a body strengthener before surgery. Specifically, pancreatic enzymes have been used by many healers to aid in a variety of disease conditions, including inflammation, viral disease, multiple sclerosis, and cancer. Conclusion As Dr. Howell said: a person's life span is direcdy related to the exhaustion of their enzyme potential." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Some studies have shown that supplementing with one or more of these vitamins helps prevent or reverse hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) and may also reduce the risk of bone fractures.57' 58 What is the potential importance of taking vitamin C? Severe vitamin C deficiency is uncommon in people who consume Western diets, but mild insufficiency is found in 6% of healthy adults59 and larger numbers of college students60 and smokers." - Alan R.

"Among every 10,000 women, there were six fewer colorectal cancers and five fewer bone fractures.57 So how do you make a decision with such information? Just by adding and subtracting the numbers we can see that HRT may well be the cause of more harm than good. We can tell each individual woman to make her own decision depending on which disease and which unpleasantly she fears the most, as many physicians are likely to do. But this can be a tough decision for women who are having a difficult time with menopause." - T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. and Thomas M.

"Paget's disease can also lead to neck and/or back pain; pain and/or stiffness in affected joints; warming of the skin over the area of the affected bones; unexplained bone fractures; hearing loss; headaches; dizziness; ringing in the ears; and impaired mobility. If the pelvis or a thighbone is involved, there may be hip pain. The disease follows a pattern of alternating remissions and flare-ups. Over time, the flare-ups gradually become worse. Sometimes joints adjacent to the affected bone become involved, and osteoarthritis may develop." - Phyllis A.

"Rickets, osteomalacia, osteoporosis and bone fractures result from vitamin D deficiency, and from a diet high in animal proteins. 10. Multiple sclerosis (MS) in various countries can be predicted by their latitude. The greater the distance from the equator, the greater is the incidence of MS, because UVB light from sunlight is less available farther from the equator. MS also increases the more a society consumes of milk and other animal foods. 11. Diabetes, both type-1 and type-2, are profoundly linked to low vitamin D levels. 12." - Marc Sorenson, Solar Power For Optimal Health (Get the book.)

"Calcium supplements have also been shown to reduce the risk of bone fractures in some elderly adults.110, m'112'113 The protective effect of calcium on bone is one of very few health claims permitted by the FDA. In order to achieve the 1,500 mg per day calcium intake deemed optimal by many researchers for postmenopausal women, 800 to 1,000 mg of supplemental calcium is generally added to diets that commonly contain between 500 and 700 mg of calcium per day. What is the potential importance of taking phosphorus?" - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc.

"Will children exposed to antidepressants today have skeletal problems and frequent bone fractures as they age? No research will exist for many years that will be able to document what the impact is. Children's Vulnerability to Proper Brain Development "The use of SSRI medications in pregnant mothers and young children may pose unsuspected risks of emotional disorders later in life."52 That was the conclusion of a research team headed by Dr. Mark Ansorge at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons." - Dr. Timothy Scott, America Fooled: The Truth About Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and How We've Been Deceived (Get the book.)

"Perhaps not surprisingly, therefore, we also have the world's highest rates of osteoporosis and bone fractures among elderly people. Obviously, we need to eat more of the right foods and take high-quality supplements in some form as well. If you are depending on your diet to supply your calcium requirements, it is useful to know that one cup of low-fat yogurt contains about 300 milligrams of calcium and that one cup of broccoli supplies about 180 milligrams of calcium. Green vegetables, sardines, salmon (including the bones), beans, and almonds are also calcium rich." - Phyllis A.

"It was awful: She developed cardiac arrhythmias, severe osteoporosis and bone fractures, and blindness. Even worse, it was painful to stand by helplessly when physicians were unable to help her. In fact, because of that horrible experience during my teenage years, I was inspired to become a doctor so I could help heal people. You'd expect that, growing up with a diabetic mom, I would learn how to moderate sugar intake and properly manage blood sugar levels. But that didn't happen." - Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., Sugar Shock!: How Sweets and Simple Carbs Can Derail Your Life-- and How YouCan Get Back on Track (Get the book.)

"People who consume soft drinks have been reported to have an increased incidence of bone fractures,30 although short-term consumption of carbonated beverages has not affected markers of bone health.31 The problem, if one exists, may be linked to phosphoric acid, a substance found in many soft drinks. In one trial, children consuming at least six glasses (1.5 liters) of soft drinks containing phosphoric acid had more than five times the risk of developing low blood levels of calcium compared with other children." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc. George Constantine, R.Ph., Ph.D. Linnea D.

"On the downside, it caused more bone fractures.40 Anastrozole could have been compared with later breast cancer drugs, such as Herceptin. This costs £20,000 ($36,000) a year and works spectacularly well in the one in five women that carry the particular genetic flaw it addresses. So well in fact there are calls for women who are known to have this flaw, as expressed in a protein known as HER2, to take it at much earlier stages, putting more strain on limited budgets.41 If the comparison had been with Herceptin, anastrozole would not have looked so good." - Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the Global Healthcare Agenda (Get the book.)

"Disease Prevention and Treatment by the Life Extension Foundation (If you noticed, this study also showed that high physical activity helped protect against bone fractures - something I've advocated for years. The more physical you get on a daily basis, the stronger your bones.) This study showed that calcium supplementation helped prevent bone fractures. It only makes sense: if you get more calcium, you will help balance out the ratios. But as the earlier quotes mentioned, the absorption of that calcium may be seriously impaired by the excessive phosphorus." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.)

"British Journal Cancer 82: 1254-60, 2000] Hypercalcemia and bone fractures are common in cases of multiple myeloma. Physicians commonly prescribe drugs called bisphosphonates (Fosamax, Actonel) in cases of multiple myeloma to decrease bone pain and fractures. However, vitamin D facilitates bone healing and regeneration while elevating immunity. Supplemental vitamin D has been shown to be superior to bisphosphonates in multiple myeloma patients. [American Journal Medicine Science 318: 61-66, 1999] What causes multiple myeloma?" - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)
