Re: Osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and COPD...help for my mom!!!

Hello,
I need your help.
My Mom is taking only inhalers for the COPD
All conditions are in advanced form.
I want to help her with all Of these conditions and to at least stop the process.

I welcome any suggestion for supplements/herbs/ sport!
She went thru so much, I hate to see her suffer.
Please help her!
Thank you!

COPD is not a singular thing but rather a group of conditions.  Does she have emphysema, bronchitis or asthma?  The first two are dealt with in the same manner, but not asthma.

If it is emphysema or chronic bronchitis then the focus needs to be on the restoration of collagen and elastin in the lung tissue.

Osteoporosis is also a loss of collagen, not a loss of minerals.

Osteoarthritis is also treated in large part by the restoration of collagen.

Silica is the most important supplement for the restoration of collagen and elastin:

The second most important nutrient is vitamin C:

It is best to get vitamin C from natural sources though since natural sources are generally stronger and more stable than the commonly sold synthetic vitamin C (ascorbic acid).  An exception is camu camu, which is not very stable.

Saying away from things that reduce vitamin C will also help.  Keep in mind that the adrenals get priority of vitamin C over the entire rest of the body.  And in autoimmune conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis the adrenals are already stressed meaning a larger requirement of vitamin C for the adrenals and less being available for other tissues.

Steroids, often used for both rheumatoid arthritis and COPD will further deplete the adrenals and vitamin C, which is why steroids lead to bone loss.

There are also various herbs that will stimulate collagen and elastin formation such as gotu kola, boneset, eupatorium, etc.  If you want something already put together I do have the Bone and Joint formula that is primarily designed to increase collagen and elastin.  So it can be used for other conditions resulting from a loss of these structural proteins.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a bacterial induced autoimmune disorder.  This condition is treated completely different.  Here is a link to my Autoimmunity write up:

Here is some information on building up the adrenals, which is essential in autoimmunity:
