Natural Help for Osteoporosis Available?
My grandma has this osteoporosis stuff in her bones and it is causing her a lot of problems, apparently. I feel really bad for her because she'd elderly and she can hardly function on her own now. She tried some sort of medications (one was Boniva, I know) from the doctor's but she always gets REALLY bad side-effects from them and they take her off of them. She's just been dealing with this problem without help now and I was wondering if maybe somebody know some natural remedies for osteoporosis for her? Anything she can take or do that will help fix this problem or help relieve the symptoms?

My friend wrote a report on how effective acupuncture is to cure osteoporosis? I didnt read it much, but i read the conclusion which stated that there have been cases of it working, even in bad cases. The best option in reference to antural help is herbs. It sounds all "hippy-fied" but there is some scientific backing behind some of it. You can go to see a herbologist, or an acupuncture specialist and ask their advice. Or simply e-mail/visit the website of a herbologist or an acupuncturist and see if there is anything available. Hope i helped :)

You can find natural remedies online. However, they only work if osteoporosis is in its early stages. You or your mother may benefit from them, Grandma probably wouldn't.
Walking is one and exercise is another. If grandma is having trouble functioning those probably won't help her any.
There are herbs and teas, but I really can't advise those with a good conscious. Even herbs can cause severe side affects if they clash with other meds she may be on. It just isn't safe to experiment.
A good idea might be to go to the doctor with her. tell her doctor your concerns and ask a bunch of questions. See what you can do to make things easier for her to do.
