Hi, Debi,

It's true that each person is unique and will have an individual health
pattern. Even if you are eating all the right nutrients in your diet, there
is the possibility that you are not absorbing them. Poor absorbtion is
often the reason that nutrients do not find their way into the body where
they can provide intended health. Especially by the time one reaches ones'
forties, often the digestion is impaired. In this case, the use of
proteolytic and other digestive enzymes can be life transforming.

When one has a family history of osteoporosis, it is especially important to
look into all the possible causes. Without doing a nutrition assessment, it
would be hard to evaluate whether your diet is giving you all you need.

I agree with you that having a wholesome diet that includes both animal and
vegetable foods is the foundation of good health.

I hope you will find a healthy solution without having to resort to unwanted
medications.

with kind regards,
Latidjah

Thank you, Latidjah, for the quick response. Unfortunately or fortunately
I am taking
MG supplements, but 5 years ago my DEXA scan showed osteopenia and I think
I am getting worse. I should be getting plenty of amino acids, I think, by
eating
meat and dairy, and I take a cod liver oil supplement, but there must be
something else going on in the menopausal body that causes the lack of CA
absorption that I am not aware of, and I sure the doctors don't understand
either,
except to use HRT or Fosamax, etc.
Mary Enig said it was normal for high cholesterol during
menopause, which I agree, but my grandmother had osteoporosis and died
of a stroke and it seems I am following her health path but have been
unable
to find a doctor that doesn't want me to start eating a more vegetarian
diet
and start taking Fosamax.
I will check the web page out that you recommended, but I am tired
of fighting with doctors. My mother is built big, never been a vegetarian,
never took hormones, never had a mammogram, and is very healthy at 70,
except for bone loss.

Have a ncie day.

Debi
