Osteoporosis is when bone tissue and bone mass deteriorate. When bones become porous, they weaken and are more prone to breaks and fractures. While osteoporosis can develop at any age, it is most common in women over 50. Risk factors include a family history of the disease, being postmenopausal, a low calcium intake, a sedentary lifestyle, and smoking.

Vitamin D deficiency is linked to osteoporosis, essential for forming and maintaining bone tissue. The most common form of taking in Vitamin D is through both diet and exposure to the sun. People who spend more time indoors and do not take supplements are at greater risk of Vitamin D deficiency, which can lead to cardiovascular disease, skeletal deformities, cognitive impairments, and asthma.

Holistic Treatment Options

First and foremost, the gut function will be optimized to improve the absorption of nutrients.

Then heavy metals such as mercury, lead, aluminum, and cadmium will be chelated out of your cells. If these metals remain in your system, they can cause calcium to leak out of your bones.

All hormones, such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA, are optimized. These hormones prevent bone loss and rebuild a bone structure. As a result, your bone density will increase on your DEXA bone scan.

Aside from IV vitamin therapy, Dr. Lalezar has a powerful nutritional supplement protocol that also aids in restoring your bones. This protocol not only stops osteoporosis but reverses it.
