• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Revealing Wholeness podcast dedicated to revealing the profound
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: connections between body, mind, and spirit, where we believe that
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: true wellness arises from addressing the root causes of our
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: health challenges, not just masking the symptoms. Here we dive
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: deep into how holistic approaches such as advanced chiropractic care,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: personalized nutrition, and natural healing practices can transform your life.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Now Here is doctor Troy.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Hello and welcome. I'm doctor Troy as just chatting with
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: the client that I have had for a long time,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: and we're discussing this idea of taking fosamax, which is
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: what her doctor wants to put her on for osteoporosis.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: And we've been doing some other wonderful things like vitamin
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: K two and calcium in different forms of calcium, and
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: I was explaining kind of what is happening within the
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: bone structure and how these medications work. I thought, why
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: don't I just explain it on a podcast. So we
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: have these cells within our bone. They're called osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Now,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: osteoclasts look a lot like our immune cells that if
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: you do any kind of search on the web and
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: look up macrophage, you'll find that they're quite large cells,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: and they tend to engulf and eat up debris. That's
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: basically their job, and they're big. Well, osteoclasts are kind
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: of the same thing. They're big and they eat up bone,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: so they release hydrochloric acid to digest bone protein and
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: the protein matrix of bone so that an osteoblast can
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: come along behind it and make new bone. But if
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: osteoclast activity gets too over excited, let's say it's remodeling bone,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: but it can release calcium and now un left unchecked,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: they think can become osteoporotic in other things. While that
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: is likely the case, there are many more factors than
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: just an osteoclass that has lost control. It really is
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: what's available to the bone matrix and what's the demand
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: of the tissues of the body. Because the bone will
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: respond to the demands of the body. And if the
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: body says, look, we don't have a lot of calcium
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: in our diet, and if we don't have any calcium,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: our heart is going to stop. So I don't care bones.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: If you get thin and osteoporotic and we break things,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: we aren't going to be alive if you don't give
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: us any calcium so that the heart can beat. So
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: it's these other aspects of the body that we can't
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: just say, hey, doing fosamax or one of these medications
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: that is going to slow osteoclast activity so that I
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: can hopefully keep my bone structure a little bit longer
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: and not have a fracture. Well, that's all well and good,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: But at the expense of osteoclast activity. Every time you
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: take a step, every time you go up and down stairs,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: sit down too hard, cut vegetables, carry a bag, I
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: don't care what it is, mow a lawn, you are
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: going to do micro damage to the bones. Now, if
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: we look at the bone itself and we say, okay, well,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: how many cells are there in a bone, I don't
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: know trillions. Who is any idea, I'm sure there's a lot.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: So let's say, just for giggles, that there's one hundred
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: thousand cells from edge of my armbone to the other
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: edge of my armbone. I'm not talking about all the
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: way through the length of the arm bone. I'm just
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: talking about across the armbone. And if I, oh, let's say,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: whack a pickleball, which I've been known to do on occasion,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: and every time I do. Let's say I have a
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: microfracture in a cell. Well, I've got lots of cells
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: all over the bones, and so those cells are microfracturing.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Is it painful? No? Is it a problem? Well? Yes,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: left over time, and so the osteoclasts know that this happens.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: So they just constantly in there plowing through bone and
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: everything that they touch. Since they're big, they might go
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: through three or four layers of bone at one time
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: and leave behind a hole, if you will, a matrix,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: so that osteoblasts can come back through and now establish
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: good new bone matrix so that it's strong. Again. That's
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: normal bone repair. It's happening constantly and right now in
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: your body too. So these osteoclasts tend to look like
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: or even function like macrophases in our immune system, and
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: so they decided that if we could create a drug
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: that would affect macrophases, perhaps it will affect osteoclass too.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: And from what I can gather, that's fairly accurate that
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: they can decrease osteoclastic activity, but at the expense of
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: what At the expense of not repairing bone and eventually
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: you just have a massive fracture. So we've been experimenting
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: because she wants her bone to be remodeled faster and
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: thicker than it is. And I said, well, here's what
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: we have to work with. We have to at least
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: get enough calcium into your body daily so that there
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: is an over abundance of calcium and make it available
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: to your osteoblasts so that they can make new healthy
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: bone by incorporating more calcium that is available to them
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: in the bloodstream. You have to have protein and be
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: able to digest it. So you have to have a
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: good digestive system to be able to make the collagen
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: matrix that you're going to be supporting that bone in
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: as well, because bone is a lot of protein. Not
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: only that, but you need boron and phosphorus and other
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: trace minerals that all belong in that bone structure to
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: make new healthy bone so that those osteoblasts can actually
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: do their job. All of this is to say that
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: we could stimulate hormone production with vitamin K two to
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: help those osteoblasts and stimulate them so that they work
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: faster and better. And now all of this is possible.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: But now, what's the time frame. Can I have a
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: brand new skeletal system in a week? Well, if you
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: have a fracture, does it take a week to heal? Well? No,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: you're right. You're going to lay down a fair amount
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: of collagen in that fracture, and by about six to
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: eight weeks, it's going to be stable enough that you
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: can do a lot of things with that bone, but
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: it will still not necessarily be completely healed. It's going
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: to be remodeling itself for a while, but at least
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: is strong enough to do things. So the bone system,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: this skeletal system, is completely new every seven years. You
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: heard me, right, It takes seven years to remodel your
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: entire skeleton. So this is not a short term situation.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: This is a long end game process. If you are
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: osteopenic or thinning bones, or if you are osteoporotic where
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: you have a lot of loss of bone matrix. This
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: isn't a short fix. This is something that is going
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: to take effort and time. You might ask yourself, well,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: how did my bones get thin like this? Why aren't
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: other people's Well, for some, it just so happens that
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: sugar is a bit more detrimental. And if you don't
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: have a lot of calcium reserves from when you were little,
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: and you tend to eat a lot of carbohydrates or
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: sugar or bread or pasta that requires calcium to help
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: balance blood sugar. And so if all of that is true,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: and let's say now, not only are you an athlete,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: you could have an osteopenic situation going on even though
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: you're fella fairly active and not overweight, but you haven't
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: been able to digest and process the proteins correctly or
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: have enough calcium in your diet to get that calcium
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: to your bones. And you may also be a little
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: bit deficient in vitamin K two to stimulate the hormones
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: that are required to build bone. So all this together
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: is really a comprehensive look at how do we really
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: build new bone and Ultimately, we want you to go
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: through that process of shocking the bone doing water exercises
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: where your body is completely weightless and it's not going
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: through any kind of quote unquote trauma or shock like
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: doing jumping jumping jacks or jumping rope or something that
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: is of that nature, then okay, we need to do
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: something different with you, because your bones are not saying, hey,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: this is pretty easy. I'm just weightless in water. I
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: don't have to be that strong. But those that are
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: using their bones and really pushing the envelope, their bones
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: are going to demand more calcium. So with that in mind,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: there may be two or three or four different types
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: of calcium you may want to consider. And while I've
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: talked at length about calcium and have mentioned calcium lactate
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: is much easier absorbed in probably a better form of
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: blood food calcium, it may require bone food calcium as well. Now,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: the hydroxy appetite that I've seen in some products, I
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: don't know how they process it. Our bone itself we
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: could consider as hydroxy appetit. While that may be a
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: nice decent form, I have my suspicions that those products
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: that have that type of calcium are overheating the bone
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: and literally destroying it. So to get a really good
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: whole bone matrix, you're pretty much stuck doing something like
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: a bone broth or going with a whole food supplement
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: that does not heat their bones at all and tries
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: to destroy them. So a good calcium supplant bone is
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: going to be from a whole bone matrix that is
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: very limitedly heated. And they're out there, they're just few
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: and far between, and so we'll we'll get to that
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: in subsequent episodes, but at least wanted to have kind
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: of an idea of what it takes and would we
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: want to do fossamax, Would we really want to slow
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: down osteoclastic activity if our bone matrix is thin or osteoporotic.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Now we're doing a minor dose with this particular client
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: of mine and we're going to be watching what happens,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: and so we're interested and we're you know, she's being
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: the guinea pig, which is great. So as things unfold,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: it isn't going to be heyl report next week, how
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: our bone density is. It's going to be next year
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: or the year after. And doing dexas scans that we've
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: talked about in the past on podcasts, so I would
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: love to tell you that the information was at least
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: available now. But I'm just telling you what we're doing
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: and what could be possible, so that it might give
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: you some ideas about how do I want to approach
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: my bones becoming stronger and healthier. And so you might
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: want to re listen to this and listen to some
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: of the things that I'll have clients on to help
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: rebuild their bone. But again, I mean, these are long
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: term studies that we're wanting to do. We know how
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: the bone is made, we know how these cells work,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: and we know the hormones that stimulate them to do
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: their job. And so that's why I bring you this
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: information so that you have a little bit more complete
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: knowledge as we're not trying to spin wheels. As we
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: discover new things, we'll keep reporting them and stay at
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: the cutting edge of that so that we can have
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: this wonderful, active, beautiful, amazing life that we want without
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: worry about whether or not we're going to fracture something.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: So I hope that was helpful. If you have any questions, concerns,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: or comments, I'd love to hear them. Until next time,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: I'm doctor Troy, and remember there is way more right
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: with you than there is wrong with you.
