I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2019 after a major fall broke my right hip, I have a plate, 6 screws, 2 pins and I only wish I had known about carnivore/keto/low carb and the effects it has on osteoporosis then. I went through a living hell with the meds and all the side affects. The meds the pack of lies I was led to believe was the cure was/ is worse than the disease. I took my last dose of Reclast 16 months ago, it takes me a few months to get over side effects that I can see, it’s what I can’t see or feel that scare me beyond compare.I started carnivore the middle of February this year, I’ve seen so many improvements in my health already, it is more than modern medicine has attempted to do in years.

I'm a 70 year old woman who's been on the all-beef "lion diet" for 2 years. I'm 5'2" and weigh 120 lbs and am sedentary. About 20 years ago, on a mostly vegan diet, a DEXA scan revealed osteopenia. Two weeks ago, I fell directly on my left hip on a hardwood floor. I actually felt myself bounce a little. I knew I was in big trouble and it was very painful to move. I had to be put in a wheelchair in the ER. Both a pelvic x-ray and CT scan showed no fracture. That seemed miraculous. I had noticed, about six months into my lion diet, that my ribcage felt much less soft and pliable and was now thicker and less yielding (my muscles were also bulkier). I also watched a video about a 60-year-old woman who reversed her osteoporosis on a carnivore diet. I'm certain I survived that fall without a fracture because I'm on the lion diet. A friend read about the importance of bone flexibility and he thinks my bounce was from my pelvic bone compressing and springing open again.

Yup, bones are made up of not just Calcium etc. but water, protein and many other nutrients people don't think about. K2 (which animal products are rich in), silica, boron etc. It's not just about the Vitamin D, Magnesium and Calcium.

[@jonlobov1249]

Bones are mostly collagen so you need copper, vitamin C, zinc, and high quality protein. But meat's phosphorus is too high. And Magnesium and zinc is needed for alkaline phosphatase. Vitamin D and dietary calcium help regulate Calcium and Phosphate levels. That's why sun exposure is also key. Avoid gluten and gmos since they mess with glycine, and also have inorganic iron that messes with zinc, copper, and Magnesium

[@MrBilld75]

@@jonlobov1249 Wow, great points! Some of which I did not know. So iron in plants is not only inferior to heme, but also messes with zinc, copper and mag? Wow, that sucks and all the more reason not to count on it for quality iron. Yeah, I forgot to mention zinc as important for bones, but I knew it. Thank's for that addition. Soooo much makes up bone and our machines of bodies are tearing down old bone and replacing it with new bone all the time. Need quality nutrition for that. Interesting side note to that, animal product zinc is 10x better than plants too. And good for immunity as it interferes with pathogen replication. And another interesting side note, the worst Covid outcomes were deficient in Vitamin D and K2. K1 was not indicated and guess where the best K2 sources are? Animal products, again, lol. Cheese or any fermented dairy is high in it. Particularly Gouda, Jarlsburg and a few other cheeses. But even eggs and meat have it, in surprising amounts too for meat actually. Pork and Chicken being the highest of all meats, at 50 odd percent of your RDI per 100g. Even the Livers of those same animals, only carry 6% of the RDI of K2. While liver, being the ultimate source of heme iron, it kinda sucks on K2. Beef sucks on K2 as well, at only 7%, but beef is higher in iron than all the other flesh meats. Seems there is a trade off between K2 and iron amounts in flesh vs. organ meat, but with a wide variety of animal products, you get everything you need in the proper doses.

Whole foods, no white flour or sugar, all organic non-GMO. Had good hair and nails, clear skin. It can be done but must be done right. Oh, and BTW, I trained with weights 3-4 days a week and was at my ideal body weight for my height, had lots of energy, slept well, etc. Another bonus was that as I entered menopause I had not a single hot flash.

Hi Dr. Berry, I have been looking at your mineral videos. I was wondering if you could go more in detail with deficiencies. I know that blood serum doesn’t always detect a deficiency due to it only accounting for 1-2% of total body. How do we get the rest of the body to not be deficient? I am struggling so much with this. Obviously I know eating foods and supplements will help, but how long does this process take? How does the body transport these nutrients? Can we expect side effects from this (like does our blood spike or become deficient in these nutrients temporarily and cause side effects?) Say that my muscles are deficient in calcium and magnesium, what’s the true amount of time it takes to recover from this being that a lot of these minerals aren’t really stored? I know the blood absorbs it quick and keeps it tightly regulated so when can we see improvements in the rest of our body as I imagine it takes a lot longer. Sorry for so many questions, I feel like I’m dying every single day.

Want really strong bones, lift weights. I have broken 16 bones over a period of about 15 years but since I started lifting heavy I have not broken a single bone in almost 30 years. I fell hard two days ago, I could not brake my fall and hit like a ton of bricks on a metal lift laying on the floor without any issues. I'll soon be 70... BTW; I have always been a meat eater, so it's the weight lifting that made the difference for me...

[@ruth4489]

I agree 100%. I have so many joint issues like RA, fibromyalgia, sjogrens syndrome, and I remember in college they told us cardio cardio cardio and eating low fat. Cardio was soo painful and after exercising for 3 days straight I would give up going to the gym or doing an exercise video because I felt like I was being punished for exercising. In my late 20s I got into lifting heavy weights and as a woman I dropped weight so easily and felt so much better. I have never looked back and do this 4 days a week. I eat low carb and I am still overweight but every doctor tells me I am extremely healthy despite having pain in my body. I am 5 foot so I am little but my bones are strong and when my mom had a stroke a few years ago I picked her up off the floor by myself like it was nothing. She weighed 230 pounds at that time. Lifting weights is also great for cholesterol.

@@Livetoeat171 i am not a doctor or anything, just guessing here , I might be totally wrong , but if not in a serious accident I think it's a hard bone to break . That would be a sign of previous health problems , generally met in very old people that suffer from osteoporosis. It might even be tied to other health problems , deficiencies, hormones not working. The old people I knew that broke hands and legs very easily generally didn't live much longer after that . I don't know if it's because they were so fragile that a fall that wouldn't hurt them almost at all a few years ago now ended in a broken limb or that trauma caused by that worsened their already fragile health.

Most people who get hip fractures are old. 90% occur after 50 and 52% occur after 80.

[@edennis8578]

Just to add,in an article titled The 1-Year Mortality of Patients Treated in a Hip Fracture Program for Elders, all studies found that although women have more hip fractures than men, men have much higher mortality in the year following. In one study in 2003, 53% of the male patients died in the year after their hip fracture. The ratio of 1-year mortality male to female in the studies ranged from about 3/2 to as high as 2/1, so the difference is very significant.

[@vibhaspalding6457]

I have has 2 dexa tests, one was due last year. But I wished to delay it until this year, as I was doing a lot weight lifting with the gym being closed and was awaiting my second hip replacement. Hip replacement is completed last summer, after that suffered with sciatica for 2 monrhs. Now back to the gym and getting stronger with lower weights than was used to about 7 years ago. Back to doing hiit workout with weights and just body weight like mountain climbers, planks etc. So getting stronger from 2 years ago. I had 2 dexa tests, first showed osteoporosis, the second showed getting better on the right, so osteopenia and left with osteoporosis. I believe my left side seems stronger than right, so I am hoping that my bone density has improved overrall. I believe yoga helps as well, as a lot if it is working with body weight, balancing and correct breathing. Diet is important as well, vit d, k2, magnesium, boron and selenium. As bones also consist of strontium. I tried that supplement as well. But run out of it and will not purchase again, as I am not sure whether it has helped me at all. I mostly have plant based diet for the last 10 years. Used to have meat fair amount, eggs, dairy. Now no gluten, no dairy, no eggs. Have fish occasionally. Lots of raw veggies, use virgin olive oil, love salads, avocados. I am positive this year about improvement of bone density from my walk, dances classes and weights I am doing.

It is interesting but you know there is a clear criticism to this study that it could be a variety of things. One of them, as you pointed out, vegans exercise more than meat-eaters, thus, being more exposed outdoors means higher risk to bone fractures. Not saying you could be right but that's a clear criticism of your argument. Personally, I do not think vegan is the way to eat (forever) but certainly much more research should be made to clarify your main argument.

@@jonlobov1249 Yes, especially in combination with low vitamin D levels (most people). Some studies show that extreme doses of vitamin D and vitamin A (by themselves both acutely toxic and causing rickets or rickets-like symptoms) in combination don't cause any negative symptoms. Either keep them both reasonably low (less than a chicken liver vitamin A or less than 20,000 IU of vitamin D daily) or both high. Seems reasonable to me if you think about the competitive adsorption phenomenon in chemistry such as in surface reactions (Langmuir model). There are indeed proteins that need to bind one side to D and the other to A to work properly, though the first side also shows affinity to A and the second to D. When the protein binds two times A or two times D it doesn't work as well.

[@marcia.reeverCC]

Very interesting and solid study. It made me think of a question regarding acidic and alcaline diets - it is said, and I believe this knowledge is well established, that acidic diets contribute to bone loss - and meat makes blood acid, as opposed to vegetables, that make blood alcaline. So, under this light, how the meat-eaters in this study showed to have more resistant bones, having a major acidic diet? Or does this study also disproves the acidic/alcaline diet influence on bone loss, as a side effect, let's say? I don't know if my question will be viewed, but I think it could begin some interesting thinking or research or add a little more spices to the diet theme. Thanks tor the information and guidance.

Regarding cholesterol, read the book by the Drs. Eades research team. They found that it's consuming fats with carbs that causes high cholesterol. Consuming fats alone won't, but adding the carbs is the killer. For example, steak with potatoes, butter on toast, and fried donuts are very bad. Carbs alone are also not good, but the combination of fat + carb is terrible. By the way, even my doctor hates statins now, and he used to be for them. Many people, and I know some, develop dementia shortly after starting statins. All men under 50.
