Chemotherapy-Induced
Osteoporosis
One of Dr. Mitch Fleisher’s patients is a 67-year
old woman suffering from severe osteoporosis caused
by chemotherapy treatments for her breast cancer.
After only four months of taking
a combination of two capsules of OsteoPhase and 2000
I.U. of Vitamin D-3 per day she achieved a remarkable
12% increase in bone density as measured by bone scan.
Her gynecologist was surprised since such increases
are not observed in patients using estrogen or Fosamax.
Osteoporosis
Often Overlooked in Men
Osteoporosis in men is an overlooked and rapidly growing
health issue. In fact, 2 million men in the U.S. currently
suffer from serious bone loss, and experts estimate
that 25 percent of all men over 50 will experience
an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime.
13.6
Percent Increase in Hip Bone Mass Density in 3
Months
We have just obtained results from an individual trial
that reveal the benefits of using OsteoPhase to reverse
bone loss in elderly men. Our client undertook his
first bone mass density scan at the age of 73. Remarkably,
his lower spine BMD was above normal, indicating an
extremely low risk for fracture. However, his hip BMD
showed osteoporosis with a moderate risk of bone fracture.
It is common that one skeletal area can have normal,
healthy bone tissue and another area definite bone
loss. In his case, the worrisome hip region was deteriorating.
Alarmed at this result, our subject
undertook a sophisticated supplement program, including
adequate levels of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D.
One year later his DEXA scan showed that his condition
had worsened, revealing a loss of another 7.5% of bone
mass in his hip, and resulting in an increase of fracture
risk of 88%.
After contacting us he began a three-month-program
combining OsteoPhase with his normal supplements. His
retest this past December showed no changes in his
already healthy spinal bone density, but his hip BMD
readings showed an astounding 13.6% increase in bone
mass density. This result equates to a dramatic 158%
reduction in his risk of suffering a fracture of the
hip!
Combined with our previous evaluations
with women these new results confirm that OsteoPhase should be considered by anyone—male or female—seriously
concerned about maintaining healthy bone mass and reducing
their risk of fracture.
OsteoPhase,
Ankle Fracture and Dental Implants
A further customer reports dramatic results in the
use of OsteoPhase to promote bone growth in an ankle
fracture and her jaw bones. Her doctors were alarmed
that her ankle fracture was not healing properly, causing
her continual pain while walking. This type of non-union
fracture is actually quite common, occurring in up
to 10% of all fractures. After just a four-month course
of OsteoPhase, her ankle pain disappeared completely.
She was happily able to return to walking and dancing
in her favorite high heels. And her doctors canceled
further exams and plans for surgery to stabilize her
ankle.
Just prior to taking OsteoPhase for
her ankle fracture her orthodontist told her that she
was unable to have implant surgery because she had
lost so much tissue in her jawbones. Four months later
a follow up x-ray indicated that she now has enough
bone tissue for the dental implants.
Physicians and researchers consider
bone growth to be very significant when it is so extensive
that it appears on x-rays. Our customer recently had
a DEXA bone density scan that did reveal osteoporosis
of the spine and hip. This report verifies that a disorder
in regulation of calcium homeostasis is the underlying
factor in poor bone growth throughout her body. With
her scan baseline in hand, she is eager to continue
supporting reversal of bone loss with her daily regimen
of OsteoPhase.
OsteoPhase
and Improved Tooth Mobility, Jaw Bone
Another customer, a man in his sixties, sent us his
scan revealing an 8% increase in bone density in his
lower spine of while using OsteoPhase. He also included
two letters from his dental hygienist indicating likely
bone growth in his jaw. Previously he had suffered
severe bone loss, infection and tooth mobility throughout
his mouth, leading to upper dentures. His recent exam
following supplementation with OsteoPhase reveals that
his remaining teeth are no longer loose and showed
significant improvement in the soft tissues and bone
of his lower jaw.
