I welcome you to the launch of the Osteoporosis Foundation Inc. non-profit organization and the website at: http://www.osteofoundation.org
I look forward to your comments about our new website, our vision, bold mission and goals. Please take some time to browse the website, and tell us what you like, what you don't, and where you would like us to improve.
I am excited about the launch of the new non-profit Osteoporosis Foundation, and our overarching mission to stop Osteoporosis before it begins.
I look forward to your support and help towards advancing and promoting strong bone health, reversing bone loss and preventing Osteoporosis, especially in children, tweens, teens, young adults and adults before Osteoporosis strikes.

I would like to congratulate you and wish you luck on your goal of creating bone health awareness. I would also like to take this chance to inform you of our own bone health program. We have introduced a new plant source calcium and mineral supplement to the market that is being clinically studied for its effectiveness on bone health. Early results are very positive, increasing bone density in post menopausal women. I hope that you take the time to look at our site and clinical study results. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

It's very good you are fighting versus osteoporosis! We are still young and we can prevent it I hope. I don't want not having kids just because of this. Reply to this

I earlier read this post about calcium and women. It was written there that women don't need calcium. I gave them a piece of my mind about it telling them about osteoporosis and how it can be prevented especially by assuring a good level of calcium. Reply to this

You have 206 bones in your body. So what do you think all these bones do? They aren’t just holding you up. Your bones are living storing materials. Think of your bones like a savings account. Bones have a storage vault: 95% of your body’s calcium is stored in your bones. You see, your body absolutely NEEDS calcium to survive. Calcium is even more important for nerve conduction, muscle contraction, and blood clotting. Calcium actually helps your heart contract because your heart is a muscle. So given a choice between making your heart beat or thinning your bones, your body will withdraw from your bone account leaving your savings weak, thin and frail. And that’s how you get Osteoporosis. You survive, but may be bound to a wheel chair and/or suffer a debilitating fracture. Osteoporosis is the most common cause of hip fractures, a tragedy that I am called upon to treat regularly. Hip fractures are painful and can result in permanent loss of independence and even death. Preventative action should be taken now. Weight Bearing and resistance exercises play an important role in Osteoporosis prevention and treatment. The earlier you begin to build a deposit in your bone bank, the healthier you will be.
