I'm thrilled to find a Dr of natural medicine than all of these other doctors who have no clue about natural solutions. I was told years ago from my wonderful Indian Doctor that I must go all natural, because of terrible side affects from all drugs. He also said that I have arthritis through my lower back and spine and also my chiropractor took a x-ray of my spine and it showed a crooked spine and other problems. What has helped me for many years is doing a light bounce on a rebounder and also on a vibration machine. Many people can't do a lot of exercise but could jump on a rebounder, which is fantastic for the whole immune system. I hope this will help many precious people especially if they have fatty liver issues jumping on a rebounder is fantastic for this health issue besides diet. I don't expect a responce but I can tell you that these things work for your health etc.

Thank you Dr. We learn a lot from you. Your videos are peaceful, joyful, giving is hope, not scaring us with sick, scary pictures of sick people.

[patangel]

This was the best explanation of osteoporosis I have seen. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis before menopause when I was 48. I am binge watching all your videos.

[sameerakhan]

I Appreciate your efforts for making such an informative video. You are one of the few genuine doctor who really cares for people and tries to show the root cause of the disease. The way you explain is really peaceful.Thank you Doc. God bless you.

1st time here. This video is a keeper. Thank You. I'm 58 and do 100 jumping jacks at least twice a week. I eat a whole food diet now. I'm 4 years off drugs and alcohol and cigarettes. I can whip a jump rope, hopefully I can learn some cool jump rope moves with my feet before I croak. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks. My goal is 100 loops un interrupted.Right now 75 makes me proud. Cheers to bone health and bone density. 1st time in my life I care about me.

[marssy]

Great information specifically for all seniors or elderly people. Nutrition, lifestyle and resistance exercises helps in strengthening our bones as we age.

[silviadamen]

This video summarizes hundreds of hours I’ve spent researching this throughout the 15 years I’ve had osteoporosis! Thank you! The only thing I would add is that I’ve seen top specialists at UCSF and they did agree that hormone replacement therapy was the best treatment for my osteoporosis - particularly since I had early menopause. Plus, HRT is neuroprotective and heart protective. I’ll check out your video on HRT next. Your videos are incredibly easy to understand- and so holistic. Thank you again!

[WACRE]
