Bone Supplements , PH Balance and Thanksgiving

If you look carefully there are several blue orbs in this picture one on the rock face and one on the mountain top. This is the sacred Indian land in Arizona. We need to treat our bodies as such, Sacred.
There is a lot of information but how do we assimilate what is good for us. One of the major problems of various types of cancer is loss of bone, or brittle bone.
This is not confined to cancer but to many women who are lacking hormones and have brittle bones. The drug companies have many fancy drugs out to "help" restore bone density. Unfortunately they have serious side effects. On Boniva Alone I counted 20 side effects. The company says they are minimal. Hmm... Includes Infections, headaches, increase in cholesterol, several types of pain. With Zometa I counted 12 and one serious one, death. It also necrosis the jaw bone and that cannot come back. I know the "Death" part is extreme but several people have died while taking Zometa. So can we have a natural alternative. Yes eat foods high in calcium. White Beans, Tofu, and obviously dairy, (however dairy is suggested to be limited with cancer patients), Oatmeal, Nuts, Vegetables etc. http://www.fatfreekitchen.com/nutrition/calcium.html Do as much as you can by choosing the right foods. For those of us who need extra there are many forms of Calcium with Magnesium and Vit D. I came across a new Ultimate Bone Support that sounds very promising, It is called Stronium. It works by attracting minerals that are necessary like Calcium, Magnesium, Boron, and Zinc, which lets the bone directly absorb these nutrients. McGTill University in Montreal, did a study on this and in 6 months they showed a remarkable 172% increase in the rate of Bone Formation. Here is a complete article on same: http://www.advancedbionutritionals.com/Products/Ultimate-Bone-Support.htm
This is excellent for those of us whose bones are so fragile that it is a natural way to bring them back.
PH: When the ph of the body becomes acid it allows the body to let all those nasty germs we carry around, to multiply. The normal body ph should be 7.4 - 7.6. Keeping it this way is what keeps us healthy. Foods that are good to keep the ph alkaline are Green and Yellow vegies and whole nuts, the natural ratio of Alkaline to Acid food should be 4:1. That is 4 parts Alkaline 1 part acid. Eating Garlic helps overcome fungus. Meat, Dairy, Mushrooms, Pickled foods, and Sugar are Acidic. How else can we keep the PH alkaline. There are products in the health food store but I use Lemon Juice. When Lemon hits the stomach it becomes Alkaline. So adding a fresh squeezed Lemon daily helps not only with the digestion but with the ph. Lower your stress and avoid antibiotics as much as possible.
I am redoing my website and listing a lot of these hints there permanently. www.healingcancernaturally.net As Thanksgiving comes around we need to be able to eat some "goodies" but stick to the foods that help and you will so much better, instead of that overstuffed feeling. Myself I would eat some turkey vegies, and if I want to add cranberries I make my own natural berries with honey. Dessert, well of course have a piece but do not go overboard. A great way to prepare is Juice 4 Lg carrots and 1 Granny Smith apple and drink before leaving to eat. Sets up the digestion and helps with the ph. I am going to try and update more frequently with tips. May we all have a blessed Thanksgiving and remember to not stress over the small stuff, the resulting angst is not worth it. Take a deep breath and think on something to be really thankful for. Have a wonderful weekend.
