Osteoporosis
and Osteoarthritis
Joint
aches and stiffness are perhaps the most common of all
physical complaints, affecting almost 50 million Americans.
It comes in all forms and shapes: the jogger with creaky,
stiff knees, the grandmother having trouble opening a
jar...But there is hope! A product many people are using
not only alleviates the symptoms of aching joints, but
also helps to repair the joints by regenerating the cartilage
that cushions the ends of the bones.
The
important information below may save you or your
loved ones severe PAIN, and even save yours and their LIFE.
"I
am in my late 40's, and suffer from osteoarthritis and
osteoporosis. The last bone density scan I had showed
the bone density of a 92 year old. I suffered from severe
joint pain and restricted movement in my knees, ankles,
elbows, fingers, and toes. I was taking numerous pain
killers and anti-inflammatories, plus fortnightly injections
of HGH for pain relief. I stopped taking all my medications
and started taking Body Balance and Osteoprocare. Within
one week, I had significant reduction in joint pain and
improved mobility. I also started sleeping longer through
the night. I can now sleep all night without any pain,
and my joint pain is almost gone! I now have a much better
quality of life. I have a lot to smile about because
I feel so much better. I am living proof that these products
work. Thank you Life Force!"

"Osteoarthritis
is severely painful, and Osteoporosis is a major public
health threat which is "THE Silent Disease" ...
making your bones prone to fracture at the slightest
slip. More than 28 million Americans, 80% whom are
women, are severely at risk."
Worse yet, "fracture
complications resulting from osteoporosis have resulted
in more deaths than breast, uterine, cervical, and ovarian
cancer combined!" -- Dr. James McHale

ARTHRITIS
IS NOW THE #1 cause of disability in America. One
out of every seven people in America suffers from
it -- some 50 million victims! And almost everyone
over age 50 gets it, starting with mild symptoms
that grow worse every year.
The end result is osteoarthritis, the destruction of the cartilage that covers
the surfaces of your bones. When your cartilage gets worn away, your bones
start to scrape together, and you get pain and inflammation.
Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis greatly impairs your quality of life by causing
not only severe pain and deformity, but your ability to move and be active
is ruined, and the psychological fear of more pain and of breaking more bones
is terrorizing.
Each year, 12 to 24% of of hip fracture patients will die within the year after
their fracture, usually from complications such as pneumonia or blood clots
in the lung, which are related to the fracture or to the surgery to repair
the fracture.
Over
time, the pain drives people to painkillers, and many
conventional doctors dispense them like M&M's -- a
big mistake.
Osteoporosis, or porous bone, is a disease characterized by low bone mass and
structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and an increased
susceptibility to fractures of the hip, spine, and wrist.
Bone Tissue Example: Micrographs
of biopsy specimens of normal and osteoporotic bone.
 
A. 75-year-old
normal woman B. 47-year-old woman who had
vertebral
compression fractures
Osteoporosis
is a devastating condition which affects over 23,000,000
Americans, crippling more than 1,200,000 each year.
Add 80 percent of all people over 40 who show signs of either degenerative
or rheumatoid arthritis to this equation, and the number of people who suffer
from some form of structural weakness becomes staggering!
Research shows that we need more nutrients than previously thought for healthy
maintenance of teeth, bones, joints and muscles.
For instance, Osteoporosis, (also known as ?Brittle Bone Disease? because of
accelerated bone loss, extreme bone fragility and increased susceptibility
to bone fractures) has been clinically linked to insufficient dietary calcium.
Surveys indicate that few people consume necessary amounts of bone-building
nutrients in their diet. Less than 35% of women, for example, consume the 1,000
milligrams of calcium recommended by regulatory agencies, and far less consume
the 1,200 milligrams recommended by leading nutritionists.
Osteoporosis
must NOT be mistaken for an
"old persons' disease." It can happen at ANY age.
Frighteningly,
evidence of dietary calcium deficiencies is even showing
up in teens, preteens, even children.
80% of those affected by osteoporosis are women.
8 million
American women and 2 million men have osteoporosis, and
millions more have low bone density.
One in two
women and one in eight men over age 50 will have an osteoporosis-related
fracture in their lifetime.
10% of African-American
women over age 50 have osteoporosis; an additional 30%
have low bone density that puts them at risk of developing
osteoporosis.
Significant
risk has been reported in people of all ethnic backgrounds.
While osteoporosis
is often thought of as an older person's disease, it can
strike anybody at any age.
Are
YOU at risk?
Certain people
are more likely to develop osteoporosis than others. Factors
that increase the likelihood of developing osteoporosis
are called "risk factors." The following risk
factors have been identified:
 |
Being female
|
|
Thin
and/or small frame
|
|
Advanced
age
|
|
A
family
history
of
osteoporosis
|
|
Postmenopause,
including
early
or
surgically
induced
menopause
|
|
Abnormal
absence
of
menstrual
periods
(amenorrhea)
|
|
Anorexia
nervosa
or
bulimia
|
|
A
diet
low
in
calcium
|
|
Use
of
certain
medications,
such
as
corticosteroids
and
anticonvulsants
|
|
Low
testosterone
levels
in
men
|
|
An
inactive
lifestyle
|
|
Cigarette
smoking
|
|
Excessive
use
of
alcohol
|
|
Being
Caucasian
or
Asian,
although
African
Americans
and
Hispanic
Americans
are
at
significant
risk
as
well
|
Women can
lose up to 20% of their bone mass in the 5-7 years following
menopause, making them more susceptible to osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis
is responsible for more than 1.5 million fractures annually,
including:
300,000 hip
fractures; and approximately
700,000 vertebral fractures
250,000 wrist fractures;
and
300,000 fractures at other
sites
Note: Osteoporosis
is often called the "silent disease" because
bone loss occurs without symptoms. People may not know
that they have osteoporosis until their bones become
so weak that a sudden strain, bump, or fall causes a
fracture or a vertebra to collapse.
How do you prevent
Osteoporosis?
|
A balanced diet rich in
calcium and vitamin D
|
|
Weight-bearing
exercise
|
|
A
healthy lifestyle with no smoking
or excessive alcohol intake,
and
|
|
Bone
density
testing
and
medication
when
appropriate

 To
help you and your loved ones prevent this debilitating
disease, Life Force has introduced a delicious liquid
calcium preparation called "OsteoProCare."
OsteoProCare contains the same ingredients made
famous by the #1 New York Times Bestseller:
The Arthritis Cure: The Medical Miracle.
OsteoProCare contains the most advanced bone AND joint building nutrients known
to science, in a delicious LIQUID format.
Tablets and pills are difficult to swallow, and our body absorbs only 10-20%
of the nutrients.
Liquids, on the other hand, are proven to be up to 98% absorbable and easier
to digest.
In addition to calcium, magnesium, Vitamin D-3 and Vitamin K1, Life Force added
a host of cutting edge nutrients reported to build strong bones, ligaments,
tendons, cartilage and muscles.
Essential nutrients include:
Glucosamine Hydrochloride -- a nutrient made famous
in the national bestseller, The Arthritis Cure.
This incredible nutrient facilitates the production of cartilage and helps
mitigate the heat, inflammation and pain associated with arthritis.
Chondroitin Sulfate -- also plays an essential role
in the formation of joint cartilage. "Used together, glucosamine
and chondroitin sulfates enhance cartilage repair and improves
joint function." (The Arthritis Cure, pg.65)
Orotic Acid -- activates the transport of minerals
across the cell membranes in our bodies, thus making these
minerals optimally bioavailable.
Again, this formula Includes the ingredients
made famous by the #1 New York Times best seller:
"The Arthritis
Cure: The Medical Miracle That Can Halt, Reverse, and
May Even Cure Osteoarthritis"

Every body needs the
proper amount of synovial fluids in their joints. This
is the fluid which cushions yours joints, and protects
them from potential damage due to excess pressure and
friction.
GLUCOSAMINE and CHONDROITON are
the 2 most important nutrients your body needs to reproduce
the much needed protecting fluids.
When it comes to joint nutrition, these two revolutionary new ingredients -
Chondroitin Sulfate and Glucosamine Hydrochloride - help provide the relief
sufferers are looking for.
Chondroitin produces glycosaminoglycans which play
an essential role in the formation of joint cartilage. Glucosamine is
an amino acid derivative that plays an essential role in
the formation of connective tissue.
OsteoProCare with Chondroitin
and Glucosamine has been carefully formulated to increase
the bio-availability of dietary calcium and provide the
other nutrients the body requires for optimum structural
support.
This pleasant-tasting liquid preparation combines calcium with 15 essential
minerals (including four crucial minerals necessary for proper bone metabolism
- zinc, magnesium, copper and manganese), 45 trace minerals, Vitamin D3, Chondroitin
and Glucosamine. These bone-and-joint-building nutrients are suspended in a
colloidal format that allows for optimum absorption.
Roe
Antinore (RMAntinore@aol.com), a 49 year old mother of
two says ...
"It really
works. I'm living proof. I've had a total knee and total
hip replacement and I'm only 49 years old. Thanks to Glucosamine
and Chondroitin, I can walk again."
"I am in my late 40's, and suffer from osteoarthritis and osteoporosis.
The last bone density scan I had showed the bone density of a 92 year old. I
suffered from severe joint pain and restricted movement in my knees, ankles,
elbows, fingers, and toes. I was taking numerous pain killers and anti-inflammatories,
plus fortnightly injections of HGH for pain relief. I stopped taking all my medications
and started taking Body Balance and Osteoprocare. Within one week, I had significant
