Does this link in any way with this article: www.news8austin.com/.../default.asp

According to the article, scientists have found a gene that makes alzheimer's more likely because the brain can't absorb calcium. Could osteoporosis be part of that link in any way?

Regarding the progesterone levels, it can exacerbate periodontal conditions and make your gingiva redden, swell and more sensitive. So, just a word to the wise, there is no "magic bullet" that will solve osteoporosis completely (there are many factors involved, including everything from genetics to diet) and before considering only the positive effects of any drugs or hormones, consider all aspects of the supplement(s) and investigate, research and weigh the risks involved. Also, I am usually not as eager to endorse treatment which disrupts any kind of biological balance of osteoblastic and osteoclastic dynamic. This is also where the bisphosphanates (like Fosamax and especially IV cancer treatments) seem to have an issue. Why is it that these "bone-forming" drugs present an issue when it comes to oral work, like extractions of teeth. Wouldn't it stand to reason that, subsequent to the extraction of a tooth, that the osteoblasts would be right there, rebuilding the jaw? Why does this "bone-forming" drug actually present an opposite effect and co-create osteonecrosis in certain cases? Any thoughts or hypothesis?

Osteoporosis is a symptom of a lack of progesterone. Post-menopausal women and post andropausal men do not make enought progesterone; Progesterone promotes the production of osteoblasts.

Anyone who tells you to treat it with estrogen is a liar and should be taken out in the street and whipped like a dog. The same goes for the promoter of drugs like Evista, Bonine etc.

Do not confuse progestin with natural progesterone. Progestin is poison.

Any one suggesting progestin for anything should be taken out in the street.....
