Inflammation/osteoporosis/Mag:Cal absorption

Well- I have some more good news.

Over the years, my bone density was slowly dropping - and I was in

the osteopenia range (not as bad as full fledged osteoporosis).

The range scale for the ultrsound test is

0 to 1.0 or above = suggests healthy bone

-0.1 to - 1.5 = suggests osteopenia

-1.6 to 2.5 = suggests osteoporosis

I knew constant systemic inflammation interfers with bone turn over-

and many women (and men) younger than I am have measurements lower

than mine.

In any case- since my Lyme treatment (and I supposed a dramatic drop

in my inflammation level) I have climed on the measurement chart a

few tenths for a couple of years- then between last May and this May

I have risen into the plus (+) range .. which the Doc said is amazing.

My best guess at what is happening is that my absorption of my

Mag/Cal powdered supplement is being absorbed better. I have been

taking the pharmaceutical powders (see my post above this one) for

several years,

and slowly dropping on the density scale... now that's reversing!!

Between last May and this May- my density has gone up + 0.9 tenths -

that's all most a whole number!! I am just over into the + range of

the scale.

I was thrilled.
