Hello Bodyville,
I have some first-hand experience with this. First thing to note is that Calcium taken by itself will worsen osteoporosis! This is why western medicine has till recently been failing in this area by prescribing calcium supplements for osteoporosis. There have been numerous scientific studies doen which back this up and taking Calcium as a supplement by itself is not normally precribed any longer.
Calcium will only help to recalcify bones in the presence of Magnesium in ratio of 2:1 (C:Mg). I have an older brother who has a serious problem with osteoporosis. As soon as i pointed this out to him he started taking this supplement it helped greatly but only up to a point. One now finds ready made tablets in health food shops with this thinking built, in fact i have a bottle of these tablets sat on my desk for me to take.It's not a be all end all. Look more closely at your diet as a whole and lifestyle in general.
Unfortunatley so much of our food we eat is not in a form that God intended. Our drinking water is polluted, foods denatured of natural minerals, and wholesome foods corrupted by diabolicial means such as gamma-rays, hydrogenisation etc just to make a few extra buck for the mass food producing industry.
