Dem Bones, Dem Bones Gonna' Walk Around
It’s time we set the record straight about our bones. How many people as they age experience fractures, joint injuries, osteopenia, osteoporosis or osteoarthritis? What is the standard recommendation in those situations? Calcium. This makes an assumption … bone health is due to calcium content. The more calcium, the healthier the bones are.
This is actually not true. Instead we need to understand exactly what our bones are - closets. That’s right! Our bones are storage closets that store calcium for our bodies. It is a great side benefit that these body closets also hold up our structure, as though a closet in your house is part of a load-bearing wall. Our bones also create blood cells, but this really the only active function our bones provide and it doesn’t have anything to do with how much calcium is in the bone. This would be like saying our closets function better if they are made from solid wood panels instead of two by fours which doesn’t matter when it comes to storing our vacuum cleaner away.
This error in the view of the calcium and bone relationship has led to ever-increasing numbers of people experiencing degenerative bone conditions, joint pain that won’t subside and lots of profit for the purveyors of oyster shells since the cheapest and most-used calcium supplement is made from crushed oyster shells (calcium carbonate).
Even back in the 1930’s many physicians realized that in order to support bone health you needed to include actual bone which included the proteins that were essential to bone growth and density. Recently this knowledge has translated into a natural oral approach that has been clinically proven to change the bone growth patterns in osteo conditions and bring bone health to people suffering with degenerative arthritis, osteoporosis, bone fracture and joint degeneration.
When you realize that bones are separate from the calcium that they store, you begin to see the need for treating the structure of the closet instead of the items stored in the closet. This is the purpose of Bone Morphagenetic Proteins (BMPs).
Bone Morphagenetic Protein: The Key to Bone Strength and Integrity
BMPs have been around since the 1960’s but only recently was it possible to create an oral delivery method for BMP that would actually stimulate change in bone remodeling. BMPs are a family of proteins that are present in the body to maintain the integrity of both bone and cartilage. So any time the bone is injured, diseased or degenerating, BMPs step in and stimulate wound healing, regeneration of bone/cartilage tissue and connective tissue (ligaments/tendons). Orthopedic surgeons have known about about importance and the existence of BMPs for many years and their essential role in restoring normal function to injured bone. BMPs not only can stimulate healthy bone growth and density, they also promote added blood vessels to improve circulation around and through the injured area.
Clinical trials have been done which show patients with Osteoarthritis experiencing reduced pain, stiffness and inflammation. Until now, ligament and often tendon injury was very slow to heal and often required surgery in order to repair and resolve pain. With the use of BMPs healing can truly take place aside from and often along with surgical aid.
This is a new approach to the old knowledge that bone healing is about bone cells, not calcium. Improving and supporting new bone growth and development is a key feature of the latest in natural therapy options. Our clinic patients have all reported noticeable changes from small to immense, often within just a couple of weeks’ time.
Walking without fear of injury is a gift that is priceless and healthier bones are the key!
