Fighting osteoporosis
Naturally – and winning.
I was diagnosed in 2004.

Two decades of real data, real recovery, and real faith.

WHY THIS SITE EXISTS
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
When I got my diagnosis, there was no one telling me that food could change and renew bone quality. That an alkaline-dominant diet, the right supplements, daily movement, and sunshine could actually improve strength, flexibility, and healing of porous, brittle bones. So I figured it out — slowly, over years — and I wrote it all down. This site is that record.

I’m inching closer to starting Dr. Hyman’s 10-Day Detox Diet. I’m trying out more of the recipes to see what will work for me. Still haven’t set a start date, though. Once I start, I really want to give it my all!
Still in the prep phase…

I bought some baking soda last night, and will buy Epsom salts and lavender oil tonight to complete the supplies for the nightly detox bath. I’ve ordered the supplements from Dr. Hyman’s website.

Yup! I’m doing Dr. Mark Hyman’s “10-Day Detox Diet”
I highly respect the work of Dr. Mark Hyman!

(Remember, too, that […]
