"At one time, the medical mantra was that it’s all hormonal -- it’s a woman’s disease -- which meant hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was the answer. But as more study results came in, that theory became unsustainable, at least by itself. It couldn’t explain the dramatic increase in the incidence of osteoporosis in the United States and throughout the world, and it couldn’t explain the ever-increasing number of men who were becoming afflicted.
So, a new theory had to be developed -- the bone mineral density theory. According to this theory, people weren’t getting enough calcium in their diets so they weren’t able to build enough bone mineral density to serve as a reserve as they got older; thus, they couldn’t compensate for the natural bone loss that occurred as they aged. The obvious solution, according to the medical community, was calcium supplementation. So, according to the latest wisdom, we should:

- Drink more milk
- Take calcium supplements
- Use HRT to rebalance hormonal levels
- Drink fluoridated water since fluoride builds bone mass
- Use Fosamax®, the latest wonder drug to prevent the destruction of bone
If you go to a doctor and ask about osteoporosis, 99 percent of them will recommend some combination of the above, even though we now know that the protocol doesn’t work and, in fact, contributes to osteoporosis.
Why doesn’t it work? A number of people in the alternative health community have argued for years that excessive calcium doesn’t help the problem; it contributes to it. Magnesium is far and away the more important mineral (but still a secondary piece of the puzzle) when it comes to bone loss. To understand what’s going on here, let’s begin by quickly discussing how the body builds bones."
