At my three-month checkup yesterday, my naturopathic physician, Dr. Steven D’Antonio, found that my health is continuing to improve. Osteoporosis no longer comes up in the conversation! In fact, Dr. Steve said I no longer need a couple of the supplements I was taking, and he may further eliminate another supplement next time, if my thyroid scan shows no further need of intensive nutritional support.
A fascinating finding for me yesterday centered on the LSA system’s scan of my emotions. (LSA = Limbic Stress Assessment bioenergic evaluation.) As you may know, the chemicals of emotions are stored as polypeptides in various organs of the body, and imbalances can be detected by the LSA. It is amazing how accurate the LSA scanning is! Yesterday’s scan yielded my body’s need for a homeopathic flower remedy, FS-MND #17, from FuturePlex for “fatigue from detailed work” and “confusion and fatigue with mental work with inability to fix mind on one subject.” I had said nothing to Dr. Steve about the fact that my mind felt on overload from my Academic Coach job at school. Who would ever have thought that my mental strain would show up as an out-of-balance emotion?
I’m looking forward to the relief that will come from balancing these emotional chemicals. Since the remedy centers on the thyroid–“communication central”– Dr. Steve pointed out that I that the need to communicate may be at issue. It’s true. I need to be able to be honest with others in communicating priorities and limits as Academic Coach on a daily basis, or else face overload and conflict at work, as well as at home from bringing work home with me to finish.
So, what supplements am I taking now? I’ll list them in my next article.

Here’s the skinny: It’s been more than a month since I’ve written because it’s been an extremely busy month, both at home and at school. As we’ve talked about before, when juggling priorities you sometimes have to let a few balls drop in order to keep the rest in balance.
However, the fact that I haven’t been writing, doesn’t mean I haven’t been thinking about you. Actually, I’ve been thinking a lot about what would make it easiest for busy OsteoDiet readers to build bone consistently. What could I do to help all of us maintain a bone-healthy diet, as well as daily weight-bearing exercise? I’ve come up with a few ideas, and I’d like to know what you think.
1) If I compiled a hard-copy OsteoDiet Cookbook, would you be interested in buying one?
2) If I created exercise DVD’s featuring weight-bearing exercises, including stretching, weight training, balance exercises, running/walking, or bellydancing routines, which of these DVD’s would interest you?
3) Would you be interested in reading a book that contained information about my journey, the alkaline diet, and research about bone strengthening? If I did write a book about the natural approach to bone health, what else would you like the book to contain?
Your thoughts? I’d appreciate your comments.
Thanks!
Kathy
