In animal studies, amla protected against cellular damage induced by radiation. It also protected against carcinogens, liver damage caused by medications or viruses, and gastric damage caused by drugs, and it helped prevent toxicity caused by arsenic, cadmium, and cardiotoxic medications.

This disorder, which translates literally as "porous bones," is so common that we tend to think of its effects—frailty, broken bones, back pain, a stooped posture, and the so-called dowager's hump—as the normal results of aging. In reality, osteoporosis is a condition brought on by faulty dietary and lifestyle habits. Studies of cultures that have more healthful lifestyles than Americans do find that its occurrence is much more rare. Childhood adolescence, and early adulthood are the prime opportunities for building healthy bones.

It's just as relevant today as it was to the ancient Chinese.

Kervan himself has done some research on the use of horsetail grass, which is high in silica (reaction 3), to speed up the calcification of broken bones. His research, using rats and some people, suggests that bone recalcification with silica seems to happen more efficiently than with a direct calcium supplement. In some people, bone decalcification may be caused by a deficiency of the enzyme that transmutes sodium to magnesium (reaction 4).

If you have a child who has been breaking bones too easily, you might want to check out their fluoride intake.

Experimentally, this study is high quality because it compared protein consumption, bone loss and broken bones for the same subjects. This 3.7-fold effect is substantial, and is very important because the women with the lowest bone fracture rates still consumed, on average, about half of their total protein from animal sources. I can't help but wonder how much greater the difference might have been had they consumed not 50% but 0-10% of their total protein from animal sources.

After these findings were released, many women decided that they were more concerned about heart attacks and strokes than broken bones. So they stopped taking their HRT. Since then, clinicians have been trying to find a way to get the benefits of HRT without all the risks. One way to do that is with an estrogen-receptor modulator such as Evista (see page 389). Another way might be with a different form of estrogen. In 2004, the FDA approved a low-dose estrogen patch to prevent osteoporosis.
