Continuing problem for those of us on PPIs like Prilosec — not enough acid to properly digest common forms of calcium.

Throw in a little weight lifting with those vitamins and you have a recipe for keeping your bones healthy.

I wonder if this kind of therapy can stop, then reverse dental bone loss?

After reading the book "The Calcium Lie" by Robert Thompson M.D., my habits have changed. I am at risk for osteopina etc and was taking calcium supplements. I now know that it is not calcium that builds bones, it is a combination of about a dozen or so minerals. Minerals that used to be in abundant supply in our diets in the 19th century before we had refrigerators. Taking calcium alone is dangerous as it will build up in your blood stream.

I now take an Ionic mineral supplement and use mineral rich Sea Salt liberally. (Yes, salt is crictal for your body to function properly) Throw away the table salt, it is garbage. Remember they had to ADD back Iodine into table salt because people were getting thyroid goiters. Table salt was stripped of all vital minerals, it is not nutrional. I will NEVER use drugs to fight bone loss!!
