When I started using your products in 2007, I had been very ill for several years. I had been unable to lie down for five and a half months and had to sleep in a reclining chair. I couldn’t stand without the aid of a walker, and I was using a wheelchair and crutches to get around.
Since I started taking OsteoPhase, Herbal Boost and Vital Cell, I have been amazed at the change in my health. I have been using your formulas for two years now and my health has improved dramatically. I swear by your products.
Sincerely,
Olive Powell
Olive’s DEXA scan reports revealed that she is at relatively low risk for fracture from loss of bone density, at age 73. However, she was experiencing declines in bone density as reflected in her scores from yearly tests starting in 2001.
After starting daily OsteoPhase and Herbal Boost after her DEXA scan in September of 2006, her bone density in her lumbar spine has shown significant improvement. This included a change in the past year from minus 1.6 to minus 1.3 in her T-score. While these scores indicate mild osteopenia and small fracture risk, the changes are in a very positive direction.
DEXA scores for the same two-year period in her critical hip region showed stabilized results with no significant changes. In other words, she was able to halt a previous progression of bone loss from prior years. Her current T-score for her total hip is -1.9 showing osteopenia, but relatively low fracture risk. Her T-score for the vulnerable neck of the femur where it inserts into her hip is -2.5, a score that indicates mild osteoporosis, but with no real change from the previous year and relatively low future fracture risk.
While she has experienced important improvements in halting and reversing bone density losses, her reports of other very beneficial changes show that the formulas do much more than just enhance bone formation. Healthy regulation of calcium function and improvements in blood circulation are system-wide changes that enhance every function in the body while they are working to support proper bone health. That is why Olive also experienced what I like to call “side benefits” while taking the two formulas for bone health.
Olive notes very significant changes in strength and balance that now enable her to walk without crutches or a walker while reducing her reliance on a wheelchair. These changes also reduce her fracture risk dramatically from falls due to weak muscles and poor balance. Just as importantly, these physical changes have improved the quality of her life and expectations about remaining physically active in the future.
Others can expect different additional benefits depending on how they are personally afflicted by calcium dysregulation and poor blood circulation.
