STRONTIUM, REVERSING OSTEOPENIA/OSTEOPOROSIS
strontium 90 to humans. Due to all the above ground nuclear testing, it was a radio active element, found in human bone and could lead to cancer. This is not the strontium I am referring to which is one of the elements found in human bones and connective tissue ( approximately 320 – 400 mg.) and has been found to aid in the antiresorptive activity (prevent calcium from being leached from the bones) and the formation of new bone cells. Strontium has been used safely for over a hundred years as a medicinal substance and was first listed in Squire’s Companion to the British Pharmacopoeia in 1884. From there, it was used in the United States and Europe. While I have heard and read conflicting views on the use of strontium, I prefer putting my bones in its care rather than using the bisphosphonate drugs such as Fosamax, Actonel and Boniva. Recent long term studies show side effects of these drugs which include; esophageal irritation and or/ ulceration and perforation, bone aching, destruction of the jaw bone with pain, tooth loss and caving-in of the gums, and unusual fractures such as bones breaking or snapping much more easily and even without trauma.
