Your whole life, many of you have been told to eat and drink dairy products for healthy bones, but now you have been diagnosed with osteoporosis and prescribed medications. How could this happen, and why didn’t your bones get the calcium you needed from dairy products? Approximately 65% of women over 40 years old living in the West are diagnosed with osteoporosis and osteopenia and are told they need drugs. What many people don’t realize is the main cause of osteoporosis is what you put on your plate. Osteoporosis isn’t the result of ingesting too little calcium. Real osteoporosis is caused by the excess acid and protein content of the Western diet. The McDougall Program corrects the metabolic imbalances that cause bone loss, and the bones regain their strength. Dr. McDougall has written numerous articles on this topic. At the 12-Day McDougall Program, we help people avoid unnecessary medications and reverse many conditions such as heart disease, type-2 diabetes and osteoporosis with a starch-based diet. We can help. Join us at one of our upcoming programs. |
