I recently consulted with Keith McCormick DC. He was diagnosed with osteoporosis at 45 and cured himself naturally. He need 4 tests done first. C-telopeptide (CTX)
homocysteine
hsCRP
24-hour urine calcium
Primarily because my CTX was good he said CTX is a measure of how much collagen is in your blood from being broken down by osteoclasts. Your number shows that the osteoclasts are not breaking down too much bone. I’m taking another dexa scan after 1 year not 2 (my doc wrote medically necessary so insurance should cover it. If not I’ll pay. If he’s right my score should be similar and I wouldn’t need meds. I will consult with Mikah Yu MD a lifestyle Rheumotologist about this. I had spoken to him and he said he treats patients in his office (California) naturally but wouldn’t do it over zoom especially at my age but offered to review anything I come up with. He told me about McCormick but said he didn’t know enough to recommend him but said I might want to check him out. Both of these docs are good resources. McCormick wrote a book about it.
