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 remarkably 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.
