a news break in the bone dilemma

cows milk,with its high gluten content and not very bioavailable calcium, is not healthy food.

most calcium in supplements adds to calcium arterial plaque not bone density.something nobody needs.

SOME older people(and a few not that old) for a variety of dietary and personal metabolism reasons have a hard time getting calcium from their diet,even with vit d3 and magnesium.

like the problem i have with my mom.she eats pretty good,being from that generation that ate vegetables instead of pizza(children did not run the family then,like now-most of the married men i know are just a slab of meat and a paycheck)........geez.....back to calcium...

but with her increasing lack of stomach acid due to oldage, and 10-20 other age related reasons(that don't affect everyone to the same degree),her bones are losing their calcium.

and i tell her all the good things she should eat and all the vitamins and stuff she should take,and she'll do some of them.

but she's not going to take a handfull of supplements like i do 3x a day(most women have a real hard time taking pills for some reason),or go on a raw food diet,only sooo much she'll do there.

she says at 83 food and cards are all she has, and i understand that.

so i have her on strontium supplements.no, not strontium 90 from a-bombs.

with calcium,strontium is the other main essential mineral in your bones. it is easily bioavailable in a supplement and also helps to modulate the calcium-potassium- magnesium equation.

it has solved the osteoporosis problem in my osteo people.

and she will take one more small pill.

and i can go on working on her health in other areas.
