Re: Steroid-induced Osteoporosis

I am sorry to hear about all of the extreme challenges you have had to face at such a young age!  Yes, my mother also had steroid-induced osteoporosis.  When she came to live with me she had several compression fractures of the vertebrae due to such severe osteoporosis her bones could no longer hold the weight of her body.  She was completely bed-ridden and not expected to live much longer.  We put her on what Dr Christopher used to call the 'mucusless diet' - today, we would refer to this type of diet as 'vegan' - lots of fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds.  We began to cleanse her body using the bowel formula, the kidney/bladder formula, the liver/gallbladder formula and the blood cleansing formula.  We gave her lots of distilled water to drink and we soaked her twice a day in a comfrey or BF&C bath.  Along with this, we had her on the BF&C formula (which, at that time, contained comfrey) orally and topically - increasing the strength with cayenne ointment. She regained her health and strength, which allowed her to live a fairly active life for the next 10 years.  During the course of this treatment we weined her off of all of her medications. 

Now, let's look at a few of the things you have stated in your post - you are still using a lot of medications.  I'm sure it would be extremely dangerous for you to come off of these medications cold-turkey, so you will probably have to work in conjunction with a doctor to accomplish this, but, you need to understand that as long as you remain on  these medications, your body will remain acidic and have a difficult time healing.  You stated that you are using egg shells and broth from chicken bones - neither one of these treatments are something I would put into my body.  All of the calcium and proteins you need to rebuild you can get from the plants.  When you say, "My nasal polyps are back in full force, the asthma is out of control . . ." - these are all good indicators that what you are doing is not working.

I would like to suggest that you go to www.barefootherbalistmh.com and download Book I (it is free).  If you will read this, it will help you understand how to cleanse your body and get it ready for healing.  I would not suggest you immediately start out with a fast like this because you are on too many medications. These have all accumulated in your liver and other organs which are going to have to start out with a slower detox.  A strong fast like this would, most likely, dump too many toxins too fast which would make you extremely ill.  I would suggest you start by using a bowel formula and liver/gallbladder formula along with fresh wheatgrass juice and a vegan diet (with as much live food as you can possibly get) while you are weaning off of the medications.  This will allow your body to detox at a slower rate.  You might also want to purchase a book entitled "The Miracle of Fasting" by Paul Bragg.  As you are weining off of your medications this book will help you understand the principle of fasting and how to incorporate it into your life.  When you have weined off of your medications, you will then be ready to tackle a fast like you will read about in Book I.

You need to understand that it is possible to regain your health and completely rebuild the bone loss, but you are going to have to tackle it one step at a time in order to be successful.  I'm not sure what part of the world you are living in, what your financial means are or how much access you have to fresh produce, so it is hard to lay out a complete course of action, but, hopefully, this will help aim you in the right direction.  If you have the financial means, there are a lot of 'health retreats' out there where you can go for a week, a month, whatever you can afford, in order to learn how to cleanse the body, live on live foods and reclaim your life.  Otherwise, you will have to start studying on your own, believe in yourself and your body's ability to heal and then claim responsibility for your life!
