Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is known as the silent killer. It causes the bones, in the body, to become porous (having small holes), which weakens the bone structure. There have been many clinical studies, over the years, on Osteoporosis. Scientist have determined that many disorders are related to this disease. A few of the causes are: aging, pregnancy, sedentary lifestyle, vitamin D deficiency, Celiac disease, estrogen, diuretic drugs, corticosteroid drugs, Cushing disease, anorexia, Bisphosphonate drugs, Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs), etc.
Every one of the conditions mentioned relates back to a simple fact that impaired digestion can result in many disorders. Malnutrition is one of the primary causes of many disorders, including osteoporosis. Malnutrition can be the caused by drugs, like Antibiotics , acid reducing medications (PPIs), antihistamines, and a host of other drugs. It can also be caused by the natural process of aging, pregnancy, stress, or environmental conditions.
Two of the most common conditions that cause malnutrition are Hypochlorhydria, and Achlorhydria. Hypochlorhydria is the reduction in the strength of the hydrochloric acid, produced by the stomachs parietal cells. Achlorhydria is the complete absence of hydrochloric acid, in the stomach. Strong hydrochloric acid is absolutely necessary, for sterilizing and breaking down the nutrients consumed. It is also necessary for assisting the Peptic enzymes in the conversion of proteins into peptones, which are necessary in the formation of the amino acids.
When the strength of the acid , in the stomach, diminishes there is less sterilization and conversion of the nutrients consumed. Week stomach acid allows raw nutrients to dump into the small bowel, resulting in reduced absorption, of the necessary vitamins and minerals, necessary to keep the body healthy. Hypochlorhydria and Achlorhydria will cause reduced absorption of vitamin B-12, vitamin D, Iron and calcium.
One of the best and most accurate methods of diagnosing disorders related to malnutrition is by getting a Heidelberg pH diagnostic test, or pH gastrogram. There is a lot of good info on the web search for digestive blog.com and phcapsule.com Tweet
