Up until now, there has been only one overall preventive measure that scientists have come up with in their war against osteoporosis - to increase our daily intake of calcium. The problem is that the results of increasing daily calcium intake have not proven to be all that effective.In this startling new book, Dr. Nancy Appleton has uncovered a way to prevent osteoporosis without costly drugs, extensive supplements, and expensive treatments. Her theory is remakably simple. Instead of treating the symptom - a loss of calcium - she looks at the cause - why calcium is drawn from the bone in the first place. By understanding the principle of body chemistry balance, Dr. Appleton shows us what we do to bring on calcium loss and what we can do to correct the problem.
