20% of all females over the age of 50 have Osteoporosis.  This week, Dr. Prather talks about how the Osteoporosis medications actually INCREASE the number of fractures in patients.  In this episode, we talk about:

—Why the pharmaceutical approach to Osteoporosis, which focuses on increasing bone density, doesn’t mean that denser bones are stronger or more flexible.
—How the body needs a proper balance between the Osteoblasts that build bone and the Osteoclasts that destroy bone.  And how the pharmaceuticals actually disturb the body's Homeostasis in this process.
—The "tremendous number of side-effects from Osteoporosis medications, including:  stomach irritation, severe muscle and bone pain, flu-like symptoms, spontaneous hip fractures, atrial fibrillation, hypocalcemia, fatigue, and kidney disease.  And the dangerous osteonecrosis of the jaw, which Dr. Prather describes as "one of the worst" side-effects that "causes the jaw to dissolve".
—How Osteoporosis is diagnosed through the DEXA Scan Bone Density test, which doesn’t measure strength or flexibility of the bones.  And how Holistic Integration often finds Osteoporosis through their X-Rays that are reviewed by one of the top radiologists in the country.
—Why the REMS Osteoporosis scan used in Europe is "much more accurate and has much less of an error rate".  And the nefarious reason why it isn't being fully utilized in America.
—The reason Dr. Prather says a Hair Analysis should be a standard diagnostic for Osteoporosis to evaluate the minerals and discover where the Osteoporosis is coming from.  And how a Hair Analysis can show if you are headed towards Osteoporosis even before it can be picked up on X-Ray or DEXA Scan.   
—How "anytime you have Aluminum toxicity, you develop Osteoporosis".  And the connection Dr. Prather has observed in his patients between low Iodine and Osteoporosis, which he's also noticed isn't talked about very often.
—The minerals, herbals, homeopathics, and nutraceuticals that Dr. Prather uses in his office to help strengthen bones, which Dr. Prather describes as "an art" to come up with the correct individualized approach for each patient.
—Why Collagen is critical for Osteoporosis.  And the Natrum Naturals Collagen Gummies Dr. Prather helped develop because "everybody" should be taking Collagen to help reverse aging.
—How inflammation produces chemicals that break down the bone and can lead to Osteoporosis.  And the pharmaceuticals that cause Osteoporosis, including anti-inflammatories and antacids.
