What makes asthmatics more likely to get osteoporosis?

Most people wouldn’t connect asthma to osteoporosis. But a new study says asthmatics should be concerned about the bone disease.

As you may know, osteoporosis is one of the biggest dangers we have to face as we get older. Osteoporosis not only makes your life very miserable, it also can kill you. Each year, more than one-third of Americans aged 65 and older will experience a fall. And, according to the Centers for Disease Control, close to 16,000 of those people will die from the fall because their bones are so weak.

As a result, the drug industry is pushing osteoporosis drugs (Actonel, Aredia, Boniva, Didronel, Fosamax, Reclast, Skelid, and Zometa) like they are candy. But they aren’t candy.

This heart drug actually destroys your heart

It amazes me that people still take statins. Years ago, I told you that statins cause diastolic dysfunction, a sign that congestive heart failure is right around the corner. Conventional medicine is just now beginning to catch up. The journal Clinical Cardiology recently published new evidence that statins destroy your heart.

In the study, researchers evaluated 28 patients for heart function. They used an echocardiography and a technique called strain imaging. This imaging holds great promise, according to experts, to identify regional problems in your heart. In this study, a carefully matched group of patients NOT on statins had significantly better strain imaging function than those on statins. The authors concluded that statins can impair heart muscle function.

Bone loss is a huge problem for postmenopausal women. But I’m seeing more men than ever before who are losing bone mass. So I’m constantly on the lookout for ways to protect your bones. That’s why I talk about a lot of important nutrients for preventing and treating osteoporosis in these health alerts. However, the one I’m going to tell you about today may be one of the most powerful.

This nutrient is lycopene, which I’ve told you about before. It’s the nutrient that works wonders for prostate health in men. Well, a new study says this powerful prostate remedy also protects the bones of both sexes.
