Bone degeneration

Condition Overview:

Bone degeneration is a disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break. If not prevented or if left untreated, Bone degeneration can progress painlessly until a bone breaks. These broken bones, also known as fractures, occur typically in the hip, spine, and wrist. Any bone can be affected, but of special concern are fractures of the hip and spine. A hip fracture almost always requires hospitalization and major surgery. It can impair a person's ability to walk unassisted and may cause prolonged or permanent disability or even death. Spinal or vertebral fractures also have serious consequences, including loss of height, severe back pain, and deformity."

Bone is constantly undergoing the replacement of old bone with new bone in a metabolic process called "remodeling." The minerals and protein are removed by the body for use elsewhere or discarded, and new minerals and protein are replaced. The distal (lower) portion of the femur (thighbone) is replaced about every four months. Other bones are replaced at a slower rate and some bones are not replaced in the individual's lifetime.

 The proper recycling of bone material is critical to the prevention of osteoporosis which occurs when old bone is removed but the new bone material is not properly replaced. Degenerative back and neck disc disease is most likely cause by a diet deficient in protein and a catabolic metabolic state brought on by hyperinsulinemia that in turn is caused by the excess consumption of carbohydrates. Prescription drugs cannot prevent bone loss in the presence of powerful catabolic hormones produced by the body during hyperinsulinemia. The diet suggested here is vital for the body's rebuilding of bones.
