My mom takes 1 tsp. flaxseed oil daily & 1 tsp. carob syrup (from healthfood store).

Lots of good info on "reversing osteoporosis naturally"
Here's what Natural News says about it:

How to beat Osteoporosis

Egg shells
You can use any kind of egg (chicken, goose, duck), but it is best to use organic or certified organic eggs from free-range birds. If the bird does not get proper nutrients the eggshells won’t contain the nutrients we need.

How much to take?
One whole medium sized eggshell makes about one teaspoon of powder, which yields about 750 - 800 mgs of elemental* calcium plus other microelements, i.e. magnesium, boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, sulphur, silicon, zinc, etc. There are 27 elements in total. The composition of an eggshell is very similar to that of our bones and teeth.

*Elemental amounts are the amounts absorbable.

Most people require a minimum of 400 mgs per day of calcium, in addition to calcium from other food sources, so you would take 1/2 teaspoon of the powder per day. Also take 400 mgs of magnesium citrate at the same time. Calcium and magnesium need to be taken in at least equal amounts, and some people require more magnesium than calcium depending upon how much they obtain from their diet.



You really need to chat to your GP. As a male you were less likely to suffer from osteoporosis. Your management would depend on the result of your Dexa scan. Calcium and vitamin D are useful in the early stages, with bisphosphonates used in more advanced disease.

GP for more years than I care to remember



Plenty of weight-bearing exercise - it tells your body to produce more bone cells.

Eat lots of green leafy vegetables, in particular, bok choy, brussel sprouts, cabbage, kale, broccoli. Also, almonds, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds.

Keep dairy products, except yoghurt, to a minimum. Caffeine, tobacco and alcohol are also big no-no's.

Personal experience and advice from orthopaedic surgeon.



I don't personally have it but my Grandma does. She uses Bengay extra strength and putss a heating pad on. She also takes a really good supplement and tries to move around as much as she can. Apparently it gets worse if you don't move around.
