Boning Up on Boning Down:
THE REAL DEAL ON OSTEOPOROSIS

Courtesy of DIAMOND BODY newsletter by Ed Bergstrom

1) Osteoporosis is not a calcium deficiency.

"Have you ever seen a limestone bridge?" is how Adano put it. The strength of a bridge is not in the calcium compounds (concrete, cement, etc.). It is supplied by the superstructure---the girders.

Calcium is merely the basis of the "cement" of bone. Silicon, iron, phosphorus, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, manganese, boracium (boron), fluorine, strontium, barium, aluminum (yes, aluminum!), lead (yes, lead!), vitamins C and D, and collagen are responsible for the framework.

Zinc, copper, magnesium, helium, beryllium, gallium, yttrium, zirconium, cerium, gold, radium, actinium, uranium, plutonium, and americium are also important overlooked constituents of bone.

Calcium easily gets lost in the bone matrix shuffle, especially compared to those four superhero macromineral musketeers, hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. Only a paltry two percent of the entire freakin' human body is composed of calcium, while oxygen alone makes up an entire two-thirds of it.

Calcium, not in a compound combination, is a catabolic element that increases entropy and osteoclasitic activity (goodbye, bone cells!). It does not exist by itself in nature, only in compound form. Combine it with nitrogen and oxygen, and you get fertilizer. Combine in with oxygen, you get lime. Combine it with carbon and oxygen, you get limestone. Combine it with sulfur and oxygen, you get gypsum and plaster of paris. Combine it with silicon and oxygen, you get portland cement. Even in combination, calcium cannot provide the requisite strength for the incredible daily demands we make on our bones.

2) Osteoporosis is not a consequence of aging.

Bone loss is a consequence of ignorance (including the calcium chauvinism rampant in old doctor's tales) and abuse (forty miles of bad road syndrome). Ninety-nine percent of all bone loss is premature. Don't buy into agist and deathist mindsets. Subvert the dominant paradigm. Living to die can be fatal.

Modification of one's lifestyle can prevent bone loss. The living to live agenda can rebuild bone mass.

"In our times the only dignity is in mobilizing intelligently to overcome aging and death."
--FM-2030 (Are You a Transhuman?, c. 1989. Warner Books)

3) Osteoporosis is not helped by walking or jogging.

Walking may help bone matrix retention an itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny bit, but jogging and aerobics actually remove minerals (including calcium) from the bone matrix. Lactic acid and carbonic acit are two of the chemical rustlers activated by inappropriate exercise. Hang 'em high!

"Thank God for pizza-eaters and joggers," commented Adano. "They keep us reflexologists in business."

Synergistic torque exercises (taught at Longevity Lifestyles Telesis) retain and grow bone matrix. Ninety-nine percent of the time, bone loss is a fitness problem, not a medical predicament. Would you visit a doctor for pencil-neck geekism? Would you ask a doctor to cure your weak, scrawny, puny physique? Bodybuilding is bone building as well as muscle building. Any musclehead magazine (Joe Weider et al) will tell you the identical thing!

If you break a bone, that is definitely a medical situation, but if you're losing bone mass, think fitness and lifestyle.

4) Osteoporosis is not helped by drinking the milk of a cow, especially pasteurized milk.

Goat, sheep, yak, and reindeer milk are OK, but moo glue sucks minerals out of bone like a vacuum cleaner. The villains include lactic acid, galactose, casein (think plastic buttons and Elmer's Glue-All), and lactalbumin. Hang 'em high!

Pasteurizing any kind of milk denatures lysine, an essential amino acid that is essential for the growth and repair of bone and tissues. Lysine is necessary for the manufacture of the calmodulins that handle 95 percent of calcium metabolism.

Nitrogen, incidentally, cannot be utilized without lysine, which is good news for all opportunistic cancer cooties.

Adding insult to injury, lysine deficiencies are genetically transmitted.

NOTES:
--One cucumber contains as much calcium as an entire quart of milk
--Calcium causes milk to clabber. Pasteurized milk won't clabber. What does that tell you about pasteurized milk?
--Pasteurized milk causes constipation, but unpasteurized milk does not.

5) Osteoporosis is not cured by horse piss.

The estrogens supplied by the pharmaceutical-petrochemical-plasic-pesticide conspiracy are synthesized from the urine of pregnant mares.

Synthetic hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a medical farce. All card-carrying feminists should wake up and smell the horse urine. Germaine Greer, author of The Change, accuses the medical establishment of defining an estrogen deficiency by its therapy, just like calling a headache an aspirin deficiency. Bone matrix contains no estriol, estrone, or estradiol receptors.

Synthetic HRT opens a Pandora's box of health problems (including heart attacks and premature aging). Xeno-estrogens are also extremely addictive. They suck. End of story. Hang 'em high!

6) Supplemental calcium citrate forms kidney stones.

Calcium citrate is the latest hype from pink tofu HQ.

Ever hear of oxalic acid? It's that white crystalline powder that causes health food store supplement ninnies to rant and rave and cuss and fuss for hours and hours. Maybe they better pull the spectacles and false nose off calcium citrate by looling up its true ID in the Merck Index..

The only acceptable source of calcium citrate also happens to be the best calcium, boron, copper, and silicon source on the planet--citrus fruit eaten at spleen-pancreas time (9:00--11:00 AM). Eat the whole citrus and nothing but the citrus ("eat it alone or leave it alone").

7) Alcohol contributes to osteoporosis.

Excess alcohol turns bones into"noodles," according to Dr. Michael Colgan (Director of the famous Colgan Institute of Nutritional Science in San Diego, California).

8) Carbon dioxide contributes to osteoporosis.

Avoid carbonated water and soda. A carbonated beer is a double whammy of both alcohol and carbon dioxide. Internal acid rain is the name of that game.

The appropriate functioning of carbon dioxide is marvelous protection for the ballooning puffer fish, but it is the cause of many of the diseases of human beings, especially the acidic diseases of excessive or pseudo anabolism. The so-called "pigments of detrition," e.g., insoluble lipofuscin, ceroid, and amyloid "aging" pigments, are cellular garbage and toxic waste held firmly in place by carbonation pressurization. Lipofuscin, amyloid, and ceroid contamination indicates that the fatty neuron structure of the brain is oxidizing. This cytotoxic sludge is also a major insult to the liver (hence, the name "liver spots).

9) Aluminum oxide contributes to osteoporosis.

Pharmaceutical aluminum is found in antacid, astringent, antiseptic, or styptic over-the-counter drugs. Petrochemical aluminum is contained in many food additives, including those used in processed cheese, baking powder, common table salt, white bread, and saltine crackers. Aluminum is also found in antiperspirants, deodorants, skin fresheners, and other cosmetics. Even special niacin supplements, e.g. aluminum nicotinate, contain it. Compared to the aforementioned sources, aluminum cookware is a minor source of aluminum in the American diet.

However, organic aluminum is an essential growth factor.

10) Late to bed and late to rise is a major cause of osteoporosis.

When you sleep is more important than how you sleep. The calcium horizontal conservation factor shuts off at dawn. No jive. I hype thee not. I'm not making this shit up.

If you sleep within the hours of dawn to dusk, you are vulnerable to the consequences of chronobiological ecology, literally pissing your bones away.

Sleeping during the day causes the kidneys to excrete as much as sixteen times more calcium than normal. A similar situation applies to sodium and other essential nutrients.

(Also, remember Ben Franklin's advice, not to mention J. Paul Getty's formula for getting rich. (1) Go to bed early. (2) Get up early. (3) Strike oil.

11) What to do about those doggone holes in the bones.

3:00­5:00 a.m. (lung time). Meditate. The "surrender of photography to sonics" disposes of most traumas and "mental charades." That bright white light that so delights (pun intended) the New Age dilettante is the byproduct of sonics detoxifying oxygen (biogenic sonoluminescence). Meditation is mediation or homeostasis, which regulates the transport-deliver time of all elements, including calcium.

5:00­7:00 a.m. (large intestine time). Potty time. A major secret of maintaining bone mass is constipated calcium and non-constipated bowels.

7:00­9:00 a.m. (stomach time). Important foods for health are almonds, cashews, filberts, Brazil nuts, carob, apples, pears, persimmons, mangos, papayas, dried figs, ripe olives, umeboshi plums, or cobalamin syrup (coffee, cocoa, and maple syrup).

9:00­11:00 a.m. (spleen-pancreas time). Eat oranges (to dial in that Big O-range of calcium, silcon, boracium, copper, aluminum, and helium), tangerines, lemons, limes, grapefruit, or other citrus fruits.

11:00 a.m.­1:00 p.m. (cardiac time). Heart time or small intestine time are the best windows of opportunity for Adano's bone fusion therapy. Eat a teaspoon of dolomite (for calcium), goat cheese or sheep cheese of the feta variety (for more calcium), a teaspoon of ghee (for silicon), a dill pickle (for sodium and silicon), raw spinach (for iron), and cayenne (for constriction-dilation). Eating goat or sheep feta cheese with seven-grain bread at 12:30 p.m. is another excellent bone builder.

1:00­3:00p.m. (small intestine time). Important foods for bone health are beans, tofu, hulled sesame seeds, brewer's yeast, molasses, broccoli, corn, kale, raw spinach, green leafy vegetables, and goat and sheep cheeses and yogurts.

3:00­5:00 p.m. (bladder time). Grapes or raisins are important sources of iron and boarcium (boron), essentials for bone health.

5:00­7:00 p.m. (kidney time). In acupuncture, the kidney meridian regulates bone growth and maintenance. Cranberry juice provides an excellent kidney flush. Cranberries and blueberries are kissin' cousins that provide bone nutrients, including calcium, silicon, and gold. A notable combination for skeletal and spinal maintenance is sardines and dill pickles eaten at 6:30 p.m.

7:00­9:00 p.m. (circulation-sex time). Combining sardines and egg yolks are the premiere spermal and ovular foods for skeletal and spinal health. Other important foods for bone health are salmon, caviar, bamboo shoots, ginger, watercress, carrots, kombu (we're talkin' major calcium!), hijiki, arame, wakame, nori, dulse, and kelp.

9:00­11:00 p.m. (thyroid, parathyroid and ultimobranchial time). The parathyroid glands secrete parathormone, which sucks calcium out of bone. The ultimobranchial gland secretes calcitonin, which deposits calcium in the bone. (The ultimobranchial gland is integrated into the thyroid gland as if red marbles and blue ones were shaken up and randomly distributed in a jar.) The cervical plexus is associatedwith the fifth endrocrine acceleration, "consciousness acting on energy" (Sach Khand). Peanut butter, pineapple juice, aloe vera, and tequila help regulate the cervical plexus. They also act as "governors" of iodine and lead. Even though iodine (the "cosmic chelator") and lead (the anti-knock additive) offer excellent radiation protection to the human mechanism, they still must be controlled by goitrogens and bromines such as the ones in peanuts, pineapple, aloe vera, and tequila.

11:00 p.m.­3:00 a.m. (biliary time--gall bladder and liver time combined). The delta brainwave of turiya sleep (conscious or otherwise) is ideal for superimmunity and a healthy bone matrix. These four hours of "hibernia" are ideal for skeletal and cerebrospinal maintenance and repair.

Clarified butter (ghee) is a premiere food for the bone matrix. It can be eaten any time of the day or night. It can even rebuild bone marrow, and it is a key ingredient of Adano's bone fusion therapy (see 11:00 a.m.).
