HymanThis article from Dr. Mark Hyman has little to do with osteoporosis.  However, I just think it is interesting that the article recognizes that the same disease or condition may result from completely different causes.  Dr. Hyman believes that the best approach to alleviating an illness is to treat the causes, rather than merely treating the symptoms.  With osteoporosis, “treating the causes” that usually means addressing a too-acid diet, inadequate exercise, lack of sunshine, and excessive stress, in order to build stronger bones.

If you or someone you love suffers from migraines, you may find Dr. Hyman’s article helpful.   Here’s the link:
