This topic was suggested to me by one of my patients as a good subject with which to start the holiday season. With the onslaught of costumed sugar addicts at my door the other night, I would say the holidays are officially in full swing. Somehow the season of good cheer also is the season […]
In my last newsletter I mentioned the idea I had that osteoporosis is really a collagen disease rather than what the mainstream medical community is telling us. I have been continuing to dig into this subject and I am finding more information. My initial hit that collagen formation was a critical aspect of osteoporosis appears […]
