Broken Bones & Fractures

These suggestions are not intended to replace appropriate professional advice.  Please check labels and consult your pharmacist if you take prescription medications.

The following diet and supplements are to cover possible nutritional deficiencies and speed healing so you can get back to the things you love to do!

A Balanced Alkaline / Acid Diet

• 7-10 glasses of filtered or spring water.  Avoid chlorinated water.
  
  
• Organic foods are free of chemicals and pesticides that toxify your body – a wise investment!
  
  
• Consume a diet that is 75-80% alkaline forming with antioxidant rich fruits, vegetables, raw seeds and nuts, beans, legumes, and whole grains. Avoid wheat unless it’s sprouted.
  
  
• Make antioxidant rich fruits, vegetables, raw seeds and nuts, beans, legumes, and whole grains the mainstays of your diet.  Avoid wheat unless it’s sprouted.
  
  
• Have complete protein no later than lunch for better digestion of amino acids.
  
  
• Fermented vegetables improve pH and digestion.
  
  
• 1-3 tbsp ground flax for fiber, fatty acids, and hormone balance.
  
  
• Have 2 tsp apple cider vinegar and raw honey(opt) in room temperature water with meals. It alkalizes, improves absorption and provides trace minerals.
  
  
• Cook gently.  High heat generates acrylamides & advanced glycation end products.

Supplements – To Cover Common Deficiencies

• Bio-Strath – a fermented whole food tonic that promotes digestion and assimilation of nutrients, reduces stress, and alkalizes the body.
  
  
• Vitamin D - 8,000 IU for one month then reduce to the upper limit of 4,000 IU daily – for calcium absorption, anti-inflammatory.
  
  
• Chlorophyll – blood builder, promotes alkalinity, reduces inflammation.
  
  
• Omega 3 Fatty Acids – reduce inflammation and speed healing.
  
  
• Probiotics – intermittent use – corrects PH, strengthens immune system.

Special Care for Bones

• Vitamin C 500-2000 mg – a factor in collagen production, speeds healing, improves mineral absorption.
  
  
• Calcium/Magnesium/K2 combination – boron and phosphorous are helpful.
  
  
• Homeopathic Symphytum (comfrey) – known as “boneset”, is useful when a break is slow to heal.
  
  
• If you suffer from osteoporosis, take 3 tbsp aloe vera juice 2 times daily to increase collagen and hyaluronic acid production.

Fresh air and sunshine are important for every aspect of your health.  Spend time outside every day unless bedridden. 

Breathe deeply, exhale completely.  Your bones need richly oxygenated blood and thorough exhalation rids the body of CO2.

When healing is complete, we recommend you continue with the dietary and basic supplement suggestions to maintain a more alkaline system that protects your health and your bones.
