I'm not Diane, but--- Dr. Christopher's BF&C (bone, flesh and cartilage) I believe it is called something else now, but I'm sure you could still find it at his site by searching for that name. It's a tincture and you swish with it, hold it in the mouth for a bit, and then swallow.
Also, take lots of C and magnesium. She already has too much calcium, but not enough magnesium. A good way to get a good type of magnesium into the system is to make up Seltzer MoM, which is Seltzer water and Milk of Magnesia. To make this you get a liter bottle of any type or brand of Seltzer Water (usually found in the pop section of the grocery store, or the liquor section) and a bottle of plain, original Milk of Magnesia (not flavored, but the pink stuff). Chill the seltzer water for at least 2 hours. Open it, but don't shake it. Add 3 tablespoons of MoM. Put the lid back on and shake the bottle. Keep shaking and checking until all the MoM is dissolved into the seltzer water. This may take a while. This is your concentrate. The suggested dilution is to put 1/3 of the liter bottle of Seltzer Mom into a gallon of distilled or purified water (you can buy the purified or distilled water in the grocery store). You do NOT want to mix it into tap water if your water has fluoride added. Sip a gallon of this water throughout the day. Yes, that's a lot of water to drink, if you are not use to it, but a gallon of water is actually good for you. Just start slowly, drinking small amounts all day and evening long. The C should be taken to bowel tolerance, meaning start taking 1000mg (1 gram) of C, wait 2 to 3 hours, take another gram and so on, until your stool gets soft. It will not give you the diarrhea, and that's not what you are looking for, but when the stool gets soft, that is your bowel tolerance. Back off 1 gram and that's what you should take every day. It may be only 3000mg (3 grams) a day or it may be 8 or more grams a day. Each person is different. That's why you go to bowel tolerance for YOU instead of saying "take x amount of C", because the amount I need may be totally different than what you need. My friend's daughter reversed her jaw bone loss in 3 months this way. Well, I just looked at the Christopher site and they now only sell the BF&C (renamed Complete Tissue & Bone Formula) in capsules instead of tincture. So I guess you'd just take the capsules. My friend is an herbalist so she had made the BF&C as a tincture for her daughter, because the original Christopher formula was a tincture. I can give you the name and address of some herbalists that still make the original formula or you can simply take the capsules which can be found at: http://www.drchristophersherbshop.com/Complete_Tissue.html Samala, Renee -------Original Message------- Dianne - have you every read anything about reversing bone loss? Please pass it along if you have any information. My dentist is telling me I have significant bone loss so if there is a way to help/reverse that, it would be so wonderful!
