Oral vitamin D supplements at a dose of at least 400 international units per day and ideally 2000 I.U.'s are associated with a reduced risk of bone fractures in older adults, according to results of a meta-analysis published in the March 23 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.
"The anti-fracture benefits of vitamin D have been questioned by several recent trials, leading to uncertainty among patients and physicians regarding recommendations for vitamin D supplementation," the authors write as background information in the article. "Factors that may obscure a benefit of vitamin D are low adherence to treatment, low dose of vitamin D or the use of less potent ergocalciferol (vitamin D2)."
Heike A. Bischoff-Ferrari, Dr.P.H., of the University of Zurich, University Hospital, Zurich, Switzerland, and colleagues performed a meta-analysis on 12 previously published clinical trials of oral vitamin D supplements among adults age 65 or older. These double-blind randomized controlled trials involved 42,279 participants (average age 78) and looked at non-vertebral (non-spinal) fractures, including eight trials of 40,886 participants specifically studying hip fractures.
When the results of the trials were pooled, vitamin D supplements decreased the risk of non-vertebral fractures by 14 percent and of hip fractures by 9 percent. The authors then pooled the results of only the nine trials in which participants received doses of more than 400 international units per day. At this dosage, vitamin D supplements reduced non-vertebral fractures by 20 percent and hip fractures by 18 percent. Doses of 400 international units per day or lower did not reduce the risk of either fracture type. A greater reduction in risk was also seen among trial participants whose blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (a commonly used measure of blood vitamin D levels) achieved a greater increase.
Among individuals taking high doses of vitamin D, additional calcium did not appear to have any further protective effect against fractures. "Physiologically, the calcium-sparing effect of vitamin D may explain why we did not see an additional benefit of calcium supplementation at a higher dose of vitamin D," the authors write.
"The greater fracture reduction with a higher received dose or higher achieved 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels for both any non-vertebral fractures and hip fractures suggests that higher doses of vitamin D should be explored in future research to optimize anti-fracture efficacy," they conclude. "Also, it is possible that greater benefits may be achieved with earlier initiation of vitamin D supplementation and longer duration of use. Our results do not support use of low-dose vitamin D with or without calcium in the prevention of fractures among older individuals."
According to Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of Research at the pH Miracle Living Center, in Valley Center, California, "I have found significant healing in non-cancerous and cancerous vertebral fractures and hip fractures when supplementing an alkaline diet with 2000 international units of Vitamin D3."

Montmorillonite Clay for Healthy Bones, Skin and Hair
'In the beginning God gave to every people...a cup of clay; and, from this cup...they drank their life'.
I received the following email on how clay may help heal your bones.
Hi Dr. Young,
I would like to share a story from one of my clients. He is a 58 year old acupuncturist who fell Christmas Eve and broke his upper arm (humerus). On X-ray the bones were 1/4 - 1/2 inch apart. He had for a few months been gradually working his way into a more alkaline lifestyle, he knew that this was a serious break and took action immediately. He began super hydrating with the recommended quantity of alkalized Doc Broc green drink, did the pHour salts 2 scoops in the morning, 2 at night, and ate only one meal a day, an alkaline dinner. A few days later when I found out what had happened, I stopped by with some Young pHorever Terra Cleanse montmorillonite clay, I told him what a great source of calcium and other minerals it was. He started adding one scoop of that into each of his bottles of the green drink. He has continued to follow this protocol while he's healing. When he went to the Orthopedic Dr. for his 6 week follow-up visit last week, he was sitting in the wa iting room with a 12 year old boy and an 80 year old man, both interestingly enough with the same break done at the same time. When it came his turn and the Dr. read his X-rays, he said "wow, what are you doing, you're healing faster than both of them, even the 12 year old boy". He's very happy that he can soon return to work.

I have long heard of people eating clay known as either 'geophagy' (pronounced...gee-off-uh-gee), or, 'pica'. Taber's Cyclopedia Medical Dictionary defines geophagy as 'a condition in which the patient eats inedible substances such as chalk, or earth'. And, it defines pica as 'a perversion of appetite with cravings for substances not fit for food such as clay, ashes or plaster'.
This craving I perceive is not perverted at all; but, makes sense when you know what clay contains and what it does for the body. It has been credited with improving the skin of many people suffering from a wide range of challenges. These include: skin ailments such as eczema and acne, dry skin, oily skin, rashes, sores, bruises, skin discoloration or spots on skin, moles, dandruff and even hair-loss, just to name a few.
Clay provides an impressive assortment of minerals, including calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, manganese, sodium and silica -- all alkalizing to the skin and foundational in the production of other elements through nuclear transformations or biological transformations.
In a clay mineral the elements of oxygen, silica, and potassium are spheres arranged in a regular three-dimensional pattern. The spheres are the building-blocks of the clay minerals; and, the arrangement of the spheres determines the type of mineral. The character of the clay mineral group determines the type of clay and its eventual use. In other words, the clay mineral structure gives an understanding of its specific properties.
Among the clays suitable for eating, is Montmorillonite, the most common and the most sought-after. Montmorillonite clay was named after the town of Montmorillon, France where it was first identified. The mineral clay belongs to a group of clays known as smectite, a word that describes its layered structure. The smectites are one of seven clay mineral groups. Each group contains a certain number of species and variations on the layered structure.
The clay that I recommend for skin and hair care only is structured in a single silica tetrahedron and is the main building-block of Montmorillonite clay and the best clay for the body.
Montmorillonite Clay is an old Home-Remedy that people have used since the beginning of time for various reasons. And it is my personal belief that Montmorillonite Clay was possibly the Manna that was given to the children of Israel by God as they wandered through the wilderness for 40 years.
Its origins are as simple and basic as the old practice of putting mud on a bee sting, spider bite, or snake bite. Montmorillonite Clay comes from deposits near Montmorillon, France and is also found in Redmond, Utah. Geologically speaking, Montmorillonite clay is a volcanic ash which was deposited in sea water. By modern definition it is a swelling-type clay in its 'natural' state with no additives, chemicals or preservatives. The only processing it undergoes is crushing.
What Makes Montmorillonite Clay So Special?
The Montmorillonite Clay minerals occur in very small or colloidal particles. They are extremely fine-grained and thin-layered...more so than any of the other clay minerals. The layers contain ions that are very loosely, bound to one another...and, easily exchangeable. Not only will acidic toxins stick to its outside surface; but, numerous toxic elements and organic matter on the skin or hair will enter the space between the layers.
In addition to its already unique structure, Montmorillonite Clay has a particularly large surface area when properly hydrated with distilled water...which further boosts its adsorptive and absorptive properties. These two words look alike but their difference is critical in understanding the functions of Montmorillonite Clay minerals. Adsorption characterizes the process by which substances stick to the outside surface of the adsorbent medium. The clay possesses unsatisfied ionic bonds around the edges of its mineral particles. It naturally seeks to satisfy those bonds. For this to happen it must meet with a substance carrying an opposite electrical or ionic charge. When this occurs, the ions held around the outside structural units of the adsorbent medium and the substance are exchanged.
The particles of Montmorillonite Clay carry a negative, electrical charge; whereas, impurities or toxins carry a positive electrical charge. For this very reason Montmorillonite Clay has been used to adsorb the colloidal impurities (alcohol and other exotoxins and mycotoxins) in beer, wine, liquor, and cider. The impurities in wine carry positive charges; and, can be chelated or coagulated (bound together) and removed by stirring a small amount of negatively-charged Montmorillonite Clay material into the wine or beer. The clay particles attract the mycotoxins or alcohol in the wine or beer and they settle to the bottom of the bottle or glass together.
The process works the same on the skin or hair. When Montmorillonite Clay is placed on the skin the positively-charged exotoxins and mycotoxins are attracted by the negatively-charged edges of the clay mineral. An exchange reaction occurs; whereby, the clay swaps its ions for those of the other substance. Now electrically satisfied it holds the acidic toxin in suspension until the clay is washed off the skin or hair with warm water.
The term 'active' or 'alive' indicates the ionic exchange capacities of a given clay mineral. The degree to which the clay mineral ions become active determine its classification as 'alive'. Living bodies are able to grow and change their form and function by taking within themselves 'lifeless' material of certain kinds; and, biologically transforming it into a part of themselves. No dead body can adsorb just as no dead battery can provide energy. It is, physically impossible. That is why Montmorillonite Clay is such a powerful skin and hair care product.
IT IS ALIVE!!!!!
Chemically and structurally Montmorillonite Clay is shaped like a credit card with negative charges on the flat surface and positive charges at the edges. Therefore, the negative charge is many times more powerful than the positive charge. One gram of Montmorillonite Clay has a surface area of 800 square meters. To give that some serious perspective that's about ten football fields! The greater the surface area of the clay the greater the power to pick up positively-charged particles or acidic toxins on the skin many times its own weight.
If we go back to our base physical components we can safely say that we are built from multitudes of particles (from dust you are and to dust you will return) held together by electrical bonds. Electrical forces are what hold atoms and molecules together. Chemical bonds and reactions depend on the electrical forces. Therefore, all chemical reactions are in essence reorganization of electrical forces which continue to be vital at body levels, i.e., tissues and organs. When this is all taken into account a living organism is shown to be an extremely intricate electrical system.
During states of imbalance the vital life-force is weak and incapable of supporting the body and its functions. In states of balance however the opposite occurs: the life-force or 'zeta potential' is strong and able to counteract the state of imbalance (or, should I say spoiling and rotting). What keeps the white blood cells moving and doing their work of clearing out toxins is the energy that feeds it, the substance of life - the 'zeta potential'. The body will not run well; or, will at least run with all sorts of mechanical problems when there is no life-force energy or 'zeta potential' to support it.
When Montmorillonite Clay is put on the skin its vital life-force or 'zeta potential' is released into the dermis of the skin; and, mingles with the vital life-force of the body creating a stronger, more powerful energy in the host. Its, colloidal particles are agents of stimulation and transformation capable of withholding and releasing energy at impulse. The natural magnetic action transmits a remarkable power to the organism and helps to rebuild vital 'potential' through the liberation of latent energy. When it is in contact with the body its very nature compels it to release its vital force: the, vital force from which so many plants and animals feed.
Therefore, in order to create a healthy body, bones, skin and hair the body MUST BE STIMULATED and, stimulated by another working energy like Montmorillonite Clay!
When the white cells, the garbage collectors of our body fluids do not function at their best the Montmorillonite Clay supports the body's outer resources (the skin) to awaken the stagnant energy by binding exotoxins and mycotoxins on the surface of the skin or hair. It also supplies the body with the available magnetism to run WELL! In this way the body's natural immune system has an improved chance of restoring the alkaline pH by removing morbid matter and acidic toxins from the skin or hair thereby maintaining a healthy balance.
How is Montmorillonite Clay Used in the Normal Old Home-Remedies?
The Montmorillonite Clay has a consistency of mustard and is ready to use or it can be mixed in water. Old-Timers would apply the gel/paste directly to the skin for a drawing-effect as in the case of a bee sting, mosquito bite, boil, spider bite, stinging nettle, etc. If the clay is not covered it will dry out; and, as it dries you will feel it draw and pull. If you want a tightening-effect as in the case of a facial for acne, pimples, or minor cuts leave it on until it is almost, but not totally dry. Then remove with a warm wet washcloth and, splash with warm water to remove all traces of the clay. If you want an even more 'cooling and soothing effect' such as for burns or scrapes and bruises; cover the gel with a plastic covering or wet cloth so that it won't dry out. If users were not sure which technique would suit their needs best they often alternated between covered and uncovered applications of the clay. Montmorillonite Clay has been applied once or twice daily or even left in place on the skin overnight, as desired.
Other external uses for the Montmorillonite Clay have been as a fine talcum powder or a diapering powder.
Instructions for using Young pHorever Montmorillonite Clay:
There are many different ways of using the Montmorillonite Clay externally; but, most all start out with the gel. Make the gel about the consistency of mayonnaise or mustard by mixing 2 parts water with 1 part Montmorillonite Clay. Apply generously in a ½ inch to ¾ inch layer directly onto the skin. An alternative that allows for more mobility is to apply the Clay on a piece of 'cheese cloth'; and, fold the cloth as if making a 'burrito'. Secure to the skin with an 'Ace' bandage. After applying there are several options:
Uncovered: Some people apply the Montmorillonite Clay leaving it uncovered allowing it to dry. As it dries it will 'draw' or 'pull'. Remove before the clay is totally dry.
Covered with Cloth: Covering the Montmorillonite Clay with a cloth will secure it to the desired spot and cause the clay to dry more slowly. Doing this enables you to leave the clay in place overnight or to be able to be mobile during the day without the clay transferring to clothing and household furniture. Wetting the cloth with water will slow the drying rate and increase the 'cooling sensation'. Again remove the clay pack before it is totally dry; and, replace it with a fresh application of Montmorillonite Clay gel, if desired.
Covered with Plastic: Covering the Montmorillonite Clay with plastic wrap or a plastic bag keeps the clay from drying at all which is the desired effect if you are applying it to a burn. Even though the clay will not dry when covered with plastic some people prefer to replace it twice daily. Other people have found that even leaving the pack in tact on a burn for two or three days will produce beautiful new 'pink skin'.
Using the Dry Montmorillonite Clay: People say using it as a baby powder causes diaper rash to disappear before the next diaper change. Some people have reported a 'drawing-healing action' when the clay is applied to an open infected wound.
If you have never used clay before and plan on using it for the first time on your skin expect a REAL TREAT! Here are some testimonies from people after using the Young pHorever Montmorillonite Clay for four weeks:
* No more skin rashes
* No more acne
* No more dandruff
* NEW AND, INCREASED HAIR GROWTH!!!
* Less 'wandering-pain' all over my body
* Clearer skin
* Enhanced growth and tissue repair of gums and skin
* Softer skin
* No more brown spots on my skin
* Skin is less dry and feels more hydrated
* After soaking my feet in a water bath of clay no more toe fungus
* My skin feels tighter and younger
* The wrinkles on my face seemed to disappear
* The redness on my face is almost gone after all these years
* It soothed my skin and took away the redness from a sunburn
* Great for bee stings, spider bites and mosquitoe bites

Hydrate and Vibrate for Healthy Bones and Heart
When acidic-clogged plaque narrows an artery that feeds the heart, the body responds by trying to bulk up tiny blood vessels in the heart. As these so-called collateral vessels grow more muscular and interconnected, they begin to reroute some of the blood flow around the blockage. Scientists have been trying for years to nudge collateral blood vessels to develop and prosper, but without great success. However, you can do it at home without anything more high-tech than a comfortable pair of shoes, reports the Harvard Heart Letter in its January 2008 issue.
Growing new collateral blood vessels can ease chest pain (angina), limit heart attack damage, improve survival, and perhaps even offer extra time for emergency therapy in the case of a heart attack.
And exercise can boost these blood vessels!
Exercise dramatically increases blood flow and removes dietary and metabolic acids through the coronary arteries. The inner lining of the arteries responds to this "stress" much as it does to the stress of atherosclerosis, by stimulating collateral blood vessels to elongate, widen, and form new connections.
The Heart Letter notes that a little bit of exercise won't do the trick. You need to push your heart. If you aren't used to exercising, that may mean brisk walking. Any activity that gets your heart beating faster will do as long as you keep it up for 20 to 30 minutes at a time and do it several times a week.
Exercise removes dietary and metabolic acids and is a great way to prevent heart dis-ease, and a host of studies show that it can help some people with narrowed coronary arteries safely avoid bypass surgery or angioplasty. The Harvard Heart Letter asks: Why not give yourself a natural bypass before you need a surgeon to perform a more painful and hazardous one?
Exercise!! Everyday!!
One of the best low impact, low stress and fun forms of exercising, that exercises every cell of the body simultaneously, is called whole body vibration. Ten minutes of whole body vibrational exercising is worth over 1 hour of other forms of strenuous exercise.
In a research study of whole body vibrational machines, mice that stood on the platform for 15 minutes a day formed more bone mass and less fat.
"The funny connection between bone and fat is they all come from the same cell," Clinton Rubin, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the State University of New York in Stony Brook, told Ivanhoe.
A primary stem cell can become muscle, bone or fat.
Scientists have found that the gentle whole body vibrations cause the cell to turn into bone to tolerate the vibration.
"So, it's a different way of thinking about why we become obese," Dr. Rubin said.
In the study, mice exposed to the whole body vibrating platform formed about 30 percent less fat. The platform also showed promise in humans.
Postmenopausal women who stood on the vibrating plate maintained their bone mass, while those who didn't lost about 3 percent. Rubin says tennis players are a good example of how vibration leads to bigger bones. They have 35 percent more bone in their playing arms.
These vibrations may one day be a simple way to prevent or even reverse both osteoporosis and obesity -- problems that plague millions of Americans.

The inner lining of the arteries responds to this "stress" much as it does to the stress of atherosclerosis, by stimulating collateral blood vessels to elongate, widen, and form new connections.
The Heart Letter notes that a little bit of exercise won't do the trick. You need to push your heart. If you aren't used to exercising, that may mean brisk walking. Any activity that gets your heart beating faster will do as long as you keep it up for 20 to 30 minutes at a time and do it several times a week.
Exercise removes dietary and metabolic acids and is a great way to prevent heart dis-ease, and a host of studies show that it can help some people with narrowed coronary arteries safely avoid bypass surgery or angioplasty. The Harvard Heart Letter asks: Why not give yourself a natural bypass before you need a surgeon to perform a more painful and hazardous one?
Exercise!! Everyday!!
One of the best low impact, low stress and fun forms of exercising, that exercises every cell of the body simultaneously, is called whole body vibration. Ten minutes of whole body vibrational exercising is worth over 1 hour of other forms of strenuous exercise.
In a research study of whole body vibrational machines, mice that stood on the platform for 15 minutes a day formed more bone mass and less fat.
"The funny connection between bone and fat is they all come from the same cell," Clinton Rubin, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the State University of New York in Stony Brook, told Ivanhoe.
A primary stem cell can become muscle, bone or fat.
Scientists have found that the gentle whole body vibrations cause the cell to turn into bone to tolerate the vibration.
"So, it's a different way of thinking about why we become obese," Dr. Rubin said.
In the study, mice exposed to the whole body vibrating platform formed about 30 percent less fat. The platform also showed promise in humans.
Postmenopausal women who stood on the vibrating plate maintained their bone mass, while those who didn't lost about 3 percent. Rubin says tennis players are a good example of how vibration leads to bigger bones. They have 35 percent more bone in their playing arms.
These vibrations may one day be a simple way to prevent or even reverse both osteoporosis and obesity -- problems that plague millions of Americans.
