Home Therapy and Nutritional Protocol

Acid Reflux/Stomach Ulcers
1. Zypan: Take 2 capsules with every meal.  Zypan is a digestive aid that will help your body break down food for absorption. Increase capsule with trigger foods or larger meals accordingly. Add in multizyme when needed when additional digestive support needed without additional acid.

2. Gastrex: Taking 2 capsules 10 minutes before eating helps relieve pain and heals the gut lining.

3. Probiotic: 1 cap per day to replenish normal gut bacteria. Prosymbiotic our favorite for this use because it has multiple bacteria and prebiotic for rapid proliferation.

4. Apple cider vinegar: couple teaspoons a day to help acidity the gut.

5. Hot lemon water in the am to acidify the gut.

Do the above for at least 2 months then continue on that schedule until you have stopped your acid reducing medicine. Then continue for one additional month. At that point, gradually decrease your dosage until either off or at a comfortable maintenance dose, if that is needed.

If you are currently on an acid reducing medicine, talk to your Doctor about how to slowly back out of the medication.

Caffeine, nicotine and alcohol all increase symptoms in acid reflux because they weaken the sphincter muscle, which separates the esophagus and stomach thus allowing acid to infiltrate unprotected tissue in the esophagus.

1. Anatomy of Bone

1. Trebeculea
2. Cortex
3. Marrow

Bone is highly metabolically active.

Osteoplastic and osteoplastic activity. Magnesium, Phosphorus, Manganese, Collagen, etc.

Causes, Dangers and Risk factors of Osteoporosis

10. Anorexia
11. Lack of sunlight

Medicinal Options and their consequences

1. Fosamax, Boniva, Actonel, Reclast.  All stop osteoclast activity.  They absolutely increase bone density, but not bone quality. Explain metabolism.

Prevention

1. Dietary – Reasonable amounts of dairy.  In excess to acidifying, thus the body   buffers with calcium from bone
2. Refrain from soda intake.  soda demineralizes bone.  Phosphoric acid is the main leaching mineral.
3. Diet high in dark green vegetables.  Reasonable dairy, including milk (2%), cheese and yogurt (with fat).
4. Natural sunlight to enhance vitamin D production.
5. Eggs also give vitamin D, cholesterol (which is what vitamin D is based off of), and protein
6. Minimize caffeine to 300 mg or less a day 
7. CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES– broccoli, kale, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, onions.  These provide the body with nutrients for connective tissue that makes up bone.
8. Exercise. Weight bearing exercise:  i.e. walking, running, skiing, biking etc.  
9. Weight lifting resistance exercising.
10. Drink bone broth -a dietary super food for the skeletal system.

Supplement options

1. Daily Bone Essentials is a great supplement for those who are Osteoporotic. See Link for description of all products.
2. Calcifood wafers – whole bone supplements that provide every nutrient needed for bone formation-  like feeding like,
3. Calcium Lactate and Citrate are much more absorbable than Calcium Carbonate.
4. Vitamin D is necessary for Calcium absorption and fat is needed for vitamin D absorption. In other words skim milk is worthless.
5. Vitamin D
6. Ostotropin – dna material of bone that stimulates bone repair and formation 

Recommendations for Standard Process supplements

1. They are typically less because they are exceptionally absorbed.
2. Less because they are complete nutrient base versus being just calcium.
3. Daily Essentials for 6 months to build bone structure. 1-2 packets depending on severity of Osteoporosis
4. Can usually eliminate Vitamin D and Cruciferous Complete after regiment complete.
5. I recommend 2 Calcium Lactate and 1-2 Calcifood wafers/day. Supplies all nutrients needed.
6. Ostotropin is a stimulant of osteoblastic activity. After initial therapy you can usually cut back to 1/day for maintenance.

• None of the above will be nearly as effective if you don’t exercise.
