Vitamin D

AnneB — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 10:19:50 GMT

Apparently November 2nd is Vitamin D Day ! www.vitamindday.net

There are several interesting pages there, but as it comes out of the US to translate US numbers into UK numbers you multiply by 2.5, for example 30 ng/ml (US) is 75 nmol/L (UK and rest of the world).

A new book to recommend

AnneB — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 12:36:04 GMT

Following on from the link Lynne posted to an interview with Dr Kate Rhéaume-Bleue (a Canadian naturopathic qualified doctor), I bought her book and have already finished reading it. Fantastic ! Lots of new information about the role of vitamin K2 and vitamin D and A and calcium in osteoporosis...as well as in heart health and other conditions including cancer. I [i]highly[/i] recommend this book. It is full of the very latest research into K2 and ties that in nicely with the recent studies which are showing that calcium supplements can lead to an increase risk of heart disease (British Medical Journal no less) - she shows how what's need is vitamin K2 to get the calcium to go where it's needed in the bones rather than being laid in the blood vessels and she explains this in an easy to understand way. She talks not only about supplements of vitamin K2 but also tells which foods are best to get it too. 'Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox'

Osteoporosis a Disability

Mairead — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 23:39:26 GMT

Need help for a friend that has been diagnosed with Osteoporosis and her employer says it is not a disability she also has osteoarthritis and cannot stand for long periods. Is her employer correct in saying that she has not got a disability.

Thanks for help.

Vitamin D deficiency

eilb — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 14:14:15 GMT

Has anybody seen the article in Daily Telegraph today- 8th April . I found it very interesting, but it did not mention my source of vitamin d3- VitD3deluxe 3000 ,a spray which is so convenient to take.

Vibration Machines

FredS — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 16:30:04 GMT

Hello

I've been reading through the leaflet provided by the society about the vibration machines. I have a quick question though - it mentions Juvent but I am sure I have read somewhere else that they aren't in business any more. Is this right?

I have found this site [url=http://www.livtherapy.eu/]www.livtherapy.eu[/url], does anyone know anything about it?

Thank you

Paper on treatment of fractures

[url=http://qjmed.oxfordjournals.org/content/97/2/63.full]HERE[/url]

It's an old paper - 2004 - but relatively readable. What struck me was that it actually acknowledges that there is pain associated with OP fractures.

Good introductory book for those newly diagnosed

Hi All,

I have read the book on osteoporosis issued by the British Medical Association.

Informative, clear and useful read for anyone newly diagnosed.

Winter 2012 issue of Osteoporosis News out now

Dom — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:50:23 GMT

Hi all. Just to let you know that the winter 2012 issue of the National Osteoporosis Society's Osteoporosis News magazine is available now. The magazine is sent out to members of the charity four times a year either as a hard copy or an on-line version. If you are not a member and would like to receive the magazine, you can join here.

In the winter issue:

Falls, fractures, feet and footwear

Slips, trips, bumps and bangs can happen to anyone at any time but, for some, the consequence of having a slip can result in fractures, especially if you have osteoporosis and fragile bones. Helpline nurses Terrie Stocker and Tina Stoodley look at how to avoid falls and what to do if you are unlucky enough to slip up.

How drugs are developed

Osteoporosis News regularly reports on new drug treatments for people with osteoporosis and fragile bones, but how are these developed and what goes on behind the scenes to bring them to market? Dom Hall takes a look at the long and expensive process of drug development.

Positive outlook

Philippa Russell suspected she had osteoporosis almost 20 years ago when the process of applying for a passport revealed she had lost 2 inches in height. She tells Dom Hall about her philosophy of looking on the bright side, despite

her battle with fragile bones.

Plus: Fantastic Christmas gift guide, HRT latest, delicious Christmas cake recipe from Jennipher Marshall-Jenkinson, Helpline questions and much more!

If you've read your copy of Osteoporosis News, what did you think of it? We always love to hear your feedback and views.

Thanks

Another 'definative' list of alkali food

Sarah W — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 17:38:31 GMT

Looking at the US OP site I found a post to this site - http://www.energiseforlife.com/acid-alkaline-food-chart-1.3.pdf - so I read it. I thought it was very interesting as it was not about the PRAL loading of food, but how the food you eat ends up as acid/alkali in your body.

Reading through the highly acidic food it explains why my PH is around 5.75 in the morning and alkali during the day... it's my weakness cocoa sweetened with rice syrup, both of which are highly acidic as is cow milk but not goat milk!

Also eat alot of fruit in the evening, and apples are also acidic.

Any comments?

New Bone Test Could Explain Atypical Femur Fractures after Long Term Bisphosphonate Use

Bone Research — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 19:02:06 GMT

[size=7]New Bone Test Could Explain Atypical Femur Fractures after Long Term Bisphosphonate Use[/size] - http://finance.yahoo.com/news/bone-test-could-explain-atypical-065700881.html

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Oct. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Medical researchers report evidence of severe deterioration of bone material properties in patients that sustain an atypical femur fracture after taking bisphosphonates for more than five years. Results of a 70 person clinical study were presented at the 2012 Annual Meeting of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) in Minneapolis, Minnesota from October 12-15, 2012.

In recent years, a potential link between long term bisphosphonate use and atypical femur fractures has been reported. Bisphosphonates are a class of drug used to treat millions of people for osteoporosis. The gold standard diagnostic test, Bone Mineral Density (BMD, or Bone Mass), is not able to predict or detect these fractures and in most cases these fractures occur in patients with normal BMD. Among researchers it is generally understood that bone strength, the ability of a bone to resist breaking, depends on three things:

- How much bone material there is (bone mass/bone mineral density),

- How well the bone material is put together (bone structure), and

- How good that bone material is (bone material properties)

Until recently, the only available methods for direct estimates of these properties required invasive bone sampling, making routine use in clinics unfeasible. As a result, little was known about the role bone material properties play in making bones strong.

This study utilized a new technology called Reference Point Indentation that can take previously impossible in vivo measures of bone material properties. "Study evidence strongly suggests a deep deterioration of the bone material properties in patients that fractured," said Dr. Adolfo Diez Perez, osteoporosis expert and Chief of Internal Medicine at the Hospital del Mar in Barcelona, Spain. Dr. Diez-Perez is Principal Investigator of the study and the pioneer of the Bone Microindentation Testing (BMT). "It is possible that long term use of bisphosphonates compounded an underlying problem. BMT could one day identify those patients who are most at risk, but more research is needed to know for certain."

Vitamin D again, from the government this time !

AnneB — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 13:09:08 GMT

Apparently in our government we have an [b]All-Party Parliamentary Osteoporosis Group[/b] ! I never knew that ! Anyway, I just read this good article about a report from them in the Mail:

[i]Need not apply: Get 20 minutes of sun a day (without lotion) 'to help beat brittle bones'
By SOPHIE BORLAND

A group of MPs have said 20 minutes unprotected in the sun is actually good for you.
Britons should spend up to 20 minutes in the sun every day to protect their bones, according to MPs.
There are fears that rising numbers of elderly people are suffering fractures because their bones have become weak due to a lack of vitamin D.
Now a report by a group of MPs is recommending that everyone spends ten minutes in the sun without protection once or twice a day during late spring and summer.
The advice goes against major public health campaigns that have urged people to stay out of the sun during the middle of day in summer and apply sun cream.
But the All-Party Parliamentary Osteoporosis Group warns that if people are completely avoiding the sunlight when it is strongest they risk not getting enough vitamin D.
Elderly people in care homes or hospital are at particular risk of vitamin D deficiency as they are often immobile and cannot get outside, according to the report.
For this reason, it is crucial doctors and carers ensure they have a nutritious diet and are given vitamin D supplements to protect their bones, it adds.
Britain has one of the highest rates of hip fractures in the EU – up to 75,000 each year.
This figure has risen by almost a fifth in the past decade and the vast majority occur among the elderly. As the injury is so debilitating, many will never recover and a third die within a year.
The report warns that fractures caused by weakened bones and osteoporosis are now a 'major public health concern'.
But it points out there are simple steps people can take throughout their lives to keep bones strong.
Everyone should spend ten minutes once or twice a day in the sun from May to September without sun cream, making sure their arms and face are fully exposed, the report says.
They should also do 20 minutes of 'weight-bearing exercise' three or four times a week.
It urges people to eat a healthy, balanced diet, rich in calcium and vitamin D, avoid smoking and only drink alcohol in moderation.
Osteoporosis and resultant hip fractures cost the NHS around £2.3billion a year. Every year there are around 300,000 fragility fractures – breaks due to weakened bones.
This compares to 275,000 heart attacks and 110,000 strokes.
James Cooper, of the National Osteoporosis Society, said: 'More needs to be done to ensure that people have a clear understanding of what is required for strong bones.'[/i]

Beds

chimples — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 17:27:35 GMT

I'm looking for a good bed for my 86 year-old father, who suffers from osteoporosis and recurring spinal fractures. We're thinking about an electric bed - the sort that would raise him up to help him get out of bed - and a memory foam mattress. Any suggestions on the best sort of mattress and bed would be very much appreciated.

SAVE OUR BONES PROGRAMME BY VIVIAN GOLDSCHMIDT-ANY EXPERiences?

gillian — Tue, 29 May 2012 18:35:28 GMT

Hello folks,

I have been researching about OP drugs,supplements and also natural treatments as I absolutely dont want to take pharmaceutical drugs and have come across this American programme .I have signed up for the free email newsletters and tips and am now wondering if I may go ahead and purchase the full programme (it costs $69 and has free postage at moment).What she says does seem to make a lot of sense but just wondered if anyone else has tried it ?

Id be interested to hear either way-good or bad or if you think its all hype.There are lots of testimonials,but again I often wonder if these things are made up just to persuade us?

I am still awaiting my dexa scan result(next week) but am pretty convinced it will be OP,as was osteopenia in 2008 and I have been on steroids and had suspected fractures since.My Gp said if it was OP I would be started on fosomax -thats my option and I dont like it,so really want to build my bones naturally. many thanks

Hi all just thought I would let you know that my daughter bought me this magazine yesterday from Holland and Barrett as there was an article on front cover 'Britain's Bone Crisis how to halt osteoporosis' Some useful information and also a good healthy read.
Sarahw - there is reference to your suggested book by Dr Marilyn Grenville. How to Prevent Treat and Reverse It.

Green tea

Eliza — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 09:10:23 GMT

Just wondered if anyone has an opinion on the report by Japanese scientists that the moderate consumption of green tea is beneficial to those of us with OP? It is alleged to contain a group of chemicals that slow down bone destruction and stimulate its formation.

http://medical-wiki.com/diseases/green-tea-could-naturally-prevent-and-treat-osteoporosis-scientists-say/

I don't know whether this is a reliable source, but virtually every site says the same thing. I read somewhere that to achieve this you have to drink about seven cups a day - but bear in mind it is a Japanese report and a cup is about 100ml!

Any comments?

Introducing myself

Amadeus — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 22:52:04 GMT

Hi All. I am probably one of the few men on this site. I am a 64 years old with Coeliac Disease, which, in turn, has given me osteoporosis, due to my inability over the years, to absorb calcium. Now I am having to follow the rigidity of a gluten free diet and am given Pamidronate infusions for my osteoporosis. I do recommend these infusions. I used to take Alendronic acid but my consultant has decided that infusions would be a better option since they cut out the need for any tablet taking. The infusions take about 5 hours via a drip feeding into a cannula in the hand. I am told that two infusions , one four weeks after the other should be enough to last a year, although there is a chance they may have to be done more often if the next Dexa scan results deem it necessary. Anyhow, I was well taken care of at the hospital and given a gluten free lunch while the infusion was taking place. A very pleasant experience as far as any visit to hospital can be pleasant!!!

Pamidronate Infusion

Amadeus — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 22:36:36 GMT

I have been taken off Alendronic Acid and put on Pamidronate infusion. I was given 30mg strength infusion for five hours and now, four weeks later, I am having a 60mg infusion for five hours. I am told this will be done once a year, but on reading about this drug, the information says it should be done every 3 months, Can anyone help?

Mega-blenders

Sarah W — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 12:41:09 GMT

Does anyone have a Mega Blender? I read about them in a article in the Daily Telegraph. I quote 'No matter how fibrous the fruit and veg, they emerge as if you had sieved them 20 times through silk'. Apparently this is achieved by the friction of the blades being so great it generates heat.

As alot of my meals revolve around using a blender I am tempted to buy one as I am getting rather red up with 'lumpy' vegetable smoothies. The drawback is the cost which is around £439.00.

But then I think 'As I will eating like this for the rest of my life - surely it is worth it?'

Does anyone have any experience of Vitamix or Blendec Super Blenders?

Is water acid or alkali?

Sarah W — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 23:11:34 GMT

After reading a blog on the acidity of water, and that you should put lemon or lime into water to help make it alkali I tested my tap water with a PH strips.

The tap water is 7.25.
Tap water with lemon is 4.25

So does alkali tap water go acid once it has been drunk?
And does acid water go alkali once it has been drunk?

Very confused.

Aloe Vera drink - is it alkalising?

Sarah W — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 08:39:26 GMT

At great cost I bought some AV drink as it contains lots of 'good' things if you have OP. But I have been unable to find out any info about whether AV juice is alkalising? Does anyone know?

Thanks

A few books and websites I have found useful

AnneB — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 12:56:38 GMT

Here are some books I have found especially useful for giving me information on osteoporosis and helping me help myself:

[b]'Osteoporosis, the silent epidemic'[/b] by Marilyn Glenville [url]http://tinyurl.com/csd6fo[/url] lots of information about different treatments.
[b]'Preventing and Reversing Osteoporosis' [/b]by Alan Gaby [url]http://tinyurl.com/awon63[/url] A bit out of date regarding medications but absolutely tons of information about supplements and lifestyle.
[b]'Better Bones, Better Body'[/b] by Susan Brown [url]http://tinyurl.com/borktj[/url]
[b]'The Myth of Osteoporosis'[/b] by Gillian Sanson [url]http://tinyurl.com/bshqvh[/url] This doesn't say osteoporosis is a myth but it is a provocative title to make one understand that it's not just about DEXA scans.

These two books on exercise I have also found excellent:
[b]'Exercises for Osteoporosis'[/b] by Dianne Daniels [url]http://tinyurl.com/d9quum[/url] An easy to start with book with good illustrations
[b]'The Slow Burn' [/b]by Frederick Hahn [url]http://tinyurl.com/bpj8ap[/url] I refer to 'The Slow Burn' all the time for the weight lifting I do to help increase my bone density.

And here are some websites I've also found very useful (not counting the NOS website !) the first two packed with information about osteoporosis and the third one about vitamin D which is so important to bone health.

Product Design Student Requests Help In Final Year Project

camilla.whitehead — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 21:27:58 GMT

Hello All,

My name is Camilla Whitehead and i'm a final year Product Design student at The University Of The West of England Bristol. For my final project I have chosen to look at the problems faced by people with osteoporosis, specifically regarding the huge numbers of those who break their hips to see if I could design a product which could prevent falling or reduce impact on the hip.

4 years ago, my Granny fell and broke her hip, she spent the rest of her life in hospital as a result of her injury. From my research so far, I have learnt that 1,150 people die every month as a result of a hip fracture, so in my opinion a product needs to be produced to try and decrease these huge numbers.

I have started doing research into products on the market and have only found 'hip protectors' which are built into underwear. I was wondering if anyone could help me with some more in depth research letting me know how sufferers of osteoporosis try and prevent falling, and if there are any other products on the market which you use. If you would like to contact me by email my address is camilla.whitehead@yahoo.co.uk

Any help with this project would be fantastic.

Many thanks

Camilla Whitehead

Osteoporosis Implant Treatment

Rosiejay — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 23:42:46 GMT

Hi, I am a "Newbie" and would like to say hello to everyone and I am looking forward to being part of the Forum to have a good chat!! Can you help me please. I have just had my third Dexa Scan, after two years, and the results show a definate change in my spine, hips, wrists and neck. Indicating an increased risk of fractures, worse that it should be for my age. I am not a happy bunny! I have tried Fosomax but had to stop that because of the side effects. I saw a consultant for another problem and he mentioned an implant you could have as treatment. Has any one heard of this and if so do you know what it is called? Until I find out about that I have decided to try Strontium Relate. Could anyone tell me if they sufferred many side effects from this please, I was particularly concerned when I read it could have an increased risk of DVT. I take Calcium/Magnesium and Vitamin D Spray. I ask this as I am very sensitive to lots of meds. I would be so grateful if anyone can help me. Many thanks.

Natural Remedy for Osteoporosis

Rollover Bones — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 15:56:01 GMT

Having been diagnosed last year with fairly severe osteoporosis and having led a healthy active lifestyle and good diet I was devasted and even more so to read about the possibility of having something like an anurism because I have taken and still take vitamin supplements. I am not happy at all with the AA although no side effects have visibly arisen so far and now plan to come off it. How can we manage this complaint naturally? It seems so complex when we eat the right things and do the exercise but even so are not able to tell if the balance of nutrients is right and is being absorbed. It seems the NHS want to dole out drugs and we have nowhere to go for trustworthy natural cures advice and reassurance.

Which type of calcium?

Sophie — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 11:20:50 GMT

I have read that calcium citrate is better absorbed, but my GP has prescribed calcium lactate pentahydrate and c. phosphate. Can anyone tell me what this is. Thanks. I am 72 and have been diagnosed with osteoporosis and osteopenia.

Advice needed on supplements

Sarah W — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 12:20:55 GMT

Can anyone give information on the supplements to take to prevent OP from getting worse, and the 'brands', they use. I was taking Osteo Support from the Natural Health Practice, but they are very expensive. (£48 for 60) And my GP told me to go to Holland and Barratt.

But all the supplements they sold were with 'carbonate' not citrate. 'Carbonate' is the 'cheap' form of the supplement.

I currently have Vit D which I buy from the US as it's in an oil gel, Cod liver Oil capsules.

Any info about what other people take would be much appreciated.

Thank you
