Osteoporosis and Parathyroid, Seeking Advice and Knowledge
Free Republic ^ | 10/10/2021 | Loud Mime

Posted on 10/10/2021 5:33:12 AM PDT by Loud Mime

In a meeting with my doctor on Friday she told me that I had severe bone loss in my left arm because of a problem with my parathyroid.

She recommended surgery on my parathyroid, telling me that it was a step by step process.

I must give her an answer soon.

Does anybody have any experience in this issue? Any advice to tender?

Thanks for your help. Freepers are the greatest!

What my doctor told me what that my parathyroid was sending messages to my body to take calcium from the bones because it was needed elsewhere in the body. Once that is stopped, I will have a normal life again.

Excess vitamin a causes bone problems.

I think hyperparathyroidism might be caused by excess vitamin a.

Do you ever consider contraindications with Vit K for people who take Coumadin? Your overwhelming need to dispense medical advice appears to lack a thorough knowledge of the complexity with drug interactions.

Well I saved that link for further investigation......did watch the video. Sounds like it works taking very little.

I have a touch of Arthur/Osteo so maybe this would ward it off further?......Currently taking a Calcium,Magnesium, Zinc supplement so would I need the Borax?

Yes, my mom had this very thing. For years she had been misdiagnosed. At one point they had said it was some form of cancer. She suffered through cracked bones in the hip and back. Then they said osteoporosis and started treating her with some heavy medication for that. Then she found a doctor that came up with the parathyroid being the culprit. I believe it was overactive and they had to remove part of it. This was years ago, so my memory is a bit foggy. They did surgery and that took care of it. Had she stayed on the meds for osteoporosis, it would have caused alot of damage.

Because borax makes calcium and magnesium balance out and absorb. You do need very little. A quarter teaspoon in a liter of water for 5 days and none for 2 days. Be sure to go through the entire link. There is a lot of great info there

My question is I’m already taking supplement with Mag. Calcium, Zinc and take a heavy dose of D3. So why would I need Borox also?

First, I would not supplement with calcium. Second, I mentioned that the boron (which comes from borax) facilitates the absorption of calcium and mag. Otherwise your calcium turns into calcification and your mag is peed out

So then one could get a Boron supplement rather than drink cleaning liquid.

I would get 20 mile team borax and mix as I mentioned, them sip throughout the day. Read through the link I included as you’ll get a lot of clarity about how to take it, what it does, how it affects the parathyroid, etc

This surgery is not rocket science, nor is it the mark of the beast. The parathyroid gland controls the distribution of calcium in the body between the bones and the blood. A tiny tumor in the parathyroid (the size of a BB) can cause the release of the hormone that shifts calcium out of the bone and into the blood. In the past it was hard to determine if this tiny tumor was accurately identified and completely excised. Today with instant laboratory results they can tell by the blood calcium level if the tumor was excised and if it was the only one. It’s a pretty simple surgery, usually about ninety minutes, less if they find the tumor right away. Besides the bone loss, high levels of calcium in the blood itself can cause serious problems. Listen to your doctor, the procedure doesn’t involve fetal stem cells or alter your DNA.

"Do you ever consider contraindications with Vit K for people who take Coumadin?"

If a vitamin necessary for life is in conflict with a synthetic drug, then it might the drug that is the problem and not the vitamin. Especially if someone appears to have acute deficiency of the vitamin.

I would not use surgery to mitigate a drug side effect.

How would you know whether you have a Vitamin K deficiency?

Why would you need to take a synthetic Vitamin K pill when Vitamin K is widely found in many food sources eaten daily?

I don’t know how far away you are from a major medical center but hopefully you are close to one. Some centers have one or two surgeons who specialize in parathyroid surgery. They will make sure you have a good workup and they’ll have a lot of experience. Those glands are tiny things, you want a specialist.

Did she tell you what’s causing the problem?

There are two types of hyperparathyroidism.
Primary hyperparathyroidism causes high calcium levels in the blood.
Secondary hyperparathyroidism causes low calcium levels in the blood. It can be caused by kidney disease, tumors and can be hereditary. It can even be caused by iodine radiation to treat thyroid problems/cancer.

Vitamin K and Coumadin. Contraindicated.
