“I think I have an encouraging story for you. Months ago, I wrote a post asking for encouragement with beginning this journey of Calton's diet, supplements and exercise and definitely prayer as a treatment for my osteoporosis. I was skeptical because Mira was only 30 when she had success with the Calton method and I was not sure it could work for a 50 year old. I had a T-score of -3 in both my femur and my lumbar. I wanted to check up on my progress, but could not get Calton tests from the US or get the same BMD test ordered by the doctor last winter (only allowed after a full year) so I got a body composition test. I know it is not the exact same test, but is a very similar machine and the areas tested are larger and then averaged (ex. whole leg not just one point on the femur) but my scores on this test had improved to be a -2.5 (which takes me just into the osteopenia realm rather than full osteoporosis! I praise God for helping me and I thank Him for pointing me toward the Calton's new book in my library. And that change comes after just 5 months of very diligent adherence to the Calton's recommendations and vitamins, etc. and definitely prayer! I am encouraged and just wanted to reach out in case this encourages any other 50-year olds or more. Hang in there and keep going! Even my exercise was not the OsteoStrong as I would like, but just moderate-fast walking and some weight training since I do not have access to OsteoStrong. I am even weighing the pros and cons of encouraging my 81-year-old mother to begin the protocol but I know that might be too challenging for her to stick to. But I can still pray for her. Take care everyone!”
