There is an article titled "Osteoporosis, Inflammation and Ageing " that is quite interesting and not too difficult of a read. The scientists who wrote the article find emerging evidence suggests that inflammation exerts significant influence on bone turnover, inducing osteoporosis. At a recent doctor's visit regarding my osteoporosis the doctor tested my C-reactive protein which is a marker of inflammation. Also she commented that sclerostin ( as well as some stem cell work) may hold the clue to future breakthroughs in osteoporosis.In my research on the C reactive protein test , I arrived at the article listed above. For anyone so inclined this may be eye opening and may point to something that may help us considerably. Also if you go to the Univ of Washington bone physiology information referenced by DesertBloom there is information on sclerostin in the new treatment area.
I researched further and saw that there are in fact several recent books in which Inflammation is discussed and Osteoporosis is in the title. One of the books is The Inflammation Cure-How to Combat the Hidden Factor Behind Heart Disease, Arthritis.......Osteoporosis
the other is The Inflammation Cure-Simple Steps for Reversing Heart Disease, Arthritis.....Osteoporosis
both are by Meggs,William Joel. I ordered these books from the library so I will know more later. I saw other books as well on this topic when I was researching. I know also that Dr. Oz and Roizen also talk a great deal about inflammation and its negative effects.
Well, this could be something that we can work on now through lifestyle changes ,and perhaps in the future there may be something great to help us. Here's to HOPE and the RESEARCH to make it a reality!!
