As a clinical nutritionist and pharmacist, I have been effectively treating osteoporosis in women, and some men, for over 20 years and I have come up with the following conclusions based off of my observations … I call it a theorem, because much like theorems in geometry, I have been able to prove this again and again.

The Robert Fishman Theorem on Osteoporosis:

Everybody on the face of the Earth made bones as they developed as a young child. This means that everyone’s brain knows the process of how to make bones.

When you are a young child, you do the following:

1. Run, jump, play
2. Go out in the sun and obtain healthy levels of Vitamin D
3. Drink milk and consume other dairy products to obtain calcium
4. Drink water and eat vegetables to obtain trace minerals
5. Everyone had a certain amount of progesterone, an essential ingredient needed to make osteoblast, which then makes bone

Women when they reach their 30′s & 40′s, the following behaviors become the norm:

1. Stop exercising because life becomes too busy
2. No more sun exposure without sunscreen because skin cancer fears
3. Stop drinking milk and consuming as much dairy products
4. Drink bottled water, which doesn’t have minerals, and don’t eat enough organic vegetables. Our food supply is inadequate as a source of trace minerals, because the process of mass production doesn’t allow for the development of nutrition in our food supply
5. Women in the late 30′s and early 40′s naturally start losing progesterone, because progesterone is necessary to start making placenta, in order to make babies. At this stage of life, your body is preparing not to make any more babies

So, you’re body is not missing Fosamax, Boniva, Actinel, Foreo or Reclast, because they were never a part of what we were born with. In order to replace bone you’re losing, all you have to do is give the brain the tools it needs to start making bone once again. This process will take 2 years to replace all of your bone, which is — not coincidentally — the same amount of time your body originally took to make bone. Think about it: At age 2, you are already walking upright and steadily, meaning your body took 2 years to make the bone necessary in order to carry out this function.

The treatment process for osteoporosis is as follows:

1. Exercise every day, especially using weights
2. Go in the sun for 30 minutes without sunscreen on your arms -or- consume 5,000 units of Vitamin D3
3. Obtain a source of absorbable calcium and trace minerals. I recommend Osteoapatite or Calcifood for my patients.
4. You will need to raise your progesterone levels PROPERLY by consulting an expert in Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy.
