TRUE CAUSES OF OSTEOPOROSIS

TRUE CAUSES OF OSTEOPOROSIS

(© 30 March 2015: Dr.V.M.Palaniappan, Ph.D.)

What the medical fraternity believes hitherto as the crucial risk factor for osteoporosis appears to be ERRONEOUS.

What does it believe?

The following is the strong recommendation that is being put up to the common public for managing the skeletal system in perfect health:

Bones are made of calcium. You must make sure to increase its density by supplying more Calcium, so that osteoporosis will not occur.

Calcium will not get into the bones, unless there is Vitamin-D.

So, take PLENTY OF CALCIUM + Vitamin-D to get that Calcium fixed into the bones.

Women, especially after menopause, should take MORE Calcium, so that they do not suffer Osteoporosis.

(In the absence of Vitamin-D, the ‘free’ Calcium will NOT get into the bones.)

How much Calcium one should take?

It does not matter. You should simply take Calcium from ALL possible sources.

Eat plenty of seafood (e.g., fish, fish oil), since all of them contain plenty of Calcium.

You can even take Calcium-enriched eatables, such as biscuits, oats, cornflakes, bread, calcium-enriched soft drinks, etc.

For that matter, you can even take Calcium supplements, in the form of 500 mg. tablets, even twice daily.

All of the above would take care of your skeletal system!

**************

While suggesting the above, the health Advocates seem to forget one important point:

How much is the body’s daily requirement?

What happens if we end up consuming MORE than the needed quantity?

Oh! That WE need not worry about! The body will take care of it. It would utilise what it wants, and it would throw out what it does not want.

So, without any fear whatsoever, you should take MORE Calcium!

Well, the above has been the thinking of ALL the people concerned with health-care.

In spite of all the above recommendations, people still suffer from bone problems. Why is that?

**************

We know well that the following are the daily requirements of Calcium:

Children’s skeletal system grows rapidly. Therefore, they require about 900 mg of Calcium daily – if they happen to be Asians.

The European children tend to need slightly more – probably about 1000 mg daily!

As for adults, the menopausal women and men appear to need about only half of the children’s need. This is so because their bone growth has already ceased. That is said to be about 450 mg for Asians, and about 500 mg for Europeans.

Since a substantial quantity of Calcium gets lost in the menstrual fluids, the fertile women tend to require about 500 mg. daily.

*************

In spite of all the above, why should people still suffer from osteoporosis?

The following scientific explanation would clarify the doubt:

In the first place, several scientists* have already established that REDUCED CALCIUM (even 300 mg/day) INTAKE DOES NOT GIVE RISE TO OSTEOPOROSIS. People consuming much lesser quantities of Calcium live in good health.

(* Nicholls and Nimalasuriya:1939; Walker and Arvidsson, 1954; Mur thy et al, 1955; Hegsted et all, 1952, and Malm, 1958 have already established that reduced Calcium consumption does not do any harm to people.)

The above appears to be the truth. Then, why should people taking MORE and ABUNDANT Calcium still suffer the diseases Osteoporosis?

Let me let you know the truth:

*********

Please imagine the following:

Let us say that you can hold exactly 15 kg of weight in your hands.

There are several bricks around us, each weighing 1kg.

I start placing the bricks one after another over your extended palms.

I have already placed 15 bricks, making up to 15 kg.

You are holding them with great difficulty, for that is already your maximum carrying capacity.

Now, I keep just one more brick, making it to be 16kg. That is beyond your tolerance capacity.

At this, what would you do?

Would you just drop off the one extra brick, or would you drop off the whole lot of 16 bricks?

Doubtlessly, all the 16 bricks, weighing 16 kg would get dropped off!

This is precisely what happens in our body, when MORE Calcium is put in to the body.

When the quantity becomes A LOT MORE than the body’s maximum tolerance capacity, it sheds off ALL the Calcium, and not just the little extra that is beyond the tolerance limit.

Let us assume the following:

Body’s daily requirement is 500 mg per day.

Let us assume that our body can tolerate a maximum of, say, 5000 mg.

The above being the case, if we consume 5100 mg., then, our body, directed by our brain, sheds off, not just the extra 100 gms., but the WHOLE LOT OF 5,100 mg., and this results in OSTEOPOROSIS.

************

How does it happen?

Only ACIDS can dissolve the bone – the alkaline Calcium.

So, the brain secretes LACTIC ACID, maybe a few more acids*!

(* If a person consumes high protein diet, such as Soya bean, then, in the process of its digestion, SULPHUR gets released. This Sulphur can become Sulphuric Acid, and that can dissolve the bone calcium, and allow that freed Calcium to get thrown out of the body through urination.)

These acids dissolve the bone and free the Calcium. This process alone gives rise to Osteoporosis.

Of course, the freed Calcium excess gets out of our body through the urinations.

The process of ‘bone calcium dissolving’, and getting out of the body, called calcium depletion, or “leaching out”, goes on and on, thus removing significant quantities of Calcium, RESULTING IN THE BONES BECOMING VERY WEAK!

When the bone becomes extremely weak, beyond the tolerance capacity, then, the bone breaks, resulting in a more serious problem, and this, at its worst, can result in the death of the person.

***********

In reality, when there is insufficient Calcium in the body, the brain makes the body scavenge all available Calcium from all available sources, and tries to gather more and more.

This process results only in increasing the bone density.

Whereas, when too much of Calcium enters into the body, continuous LOSS of Calcium weakens the bone, and that gives rise to what we call Osteoporosis.

This can be called an "Auto-Immune Disease".

***********

A few years ago, there lived an old lady in Sentul area, Kuala Lumpur, aged about 65, and looking a bit weak.

Assuming that she requires Calcium, her Doctor prescribed 500mg Calcium tablets, to be taken twice daily, amounting to 1000mg/day.

The woman did not put on weight.

The Doctor then increased the dosage to 2000mg daily, and also recommended her to take 3 glasses of thick milk, prepared from a popular brand of powdered milk that was enriched with Calcium, making it Calcium-rich, to about 5000mg or so.

The woman was told to eat high protein diet, along with more of the Calcium-rich snacks, eatables and drinks.

During one of my visits, finding that woman to be crying of non-stop and intense pain, I calculated to trace the total quantity of Calcium this woman was consuming.

It amounted to a shocking 18,000 mg, daily!

A year later, the woman died of non-stop and intense bone pain – the Osteoporosis!

************

The above observation, although a single case-history, would vouch the reality of things!

I have observed time and again, when menopausal women are prescribed with extra Calcium, they tend to put on more weight.

If they continue consuming such high doses of Calcium on a daily basis, they seem to be developing HUGE BREAST LUMPS with great potentials for turning into cancers.

(When a woman of 62 came to me with similar problem, all I did was, I DECALCIFIED her body, through various means I have described in several of my books.

THAT woman and her learned daughter were very much and pleasantly surprised to find the total disappearance of two HUGE breast lumps she had earlier, which were essentially due to her taking 500mg x 2 tablets of Calcium supplementations - all these happened within about 45 days!)

The fact remains thus:

All menstruating women lose substantial quantities of Calcium in their menstrual discharges at monthly intervals.

That is why, fertile women do NOT seem to get heart attacks.

That is again why the menopausal women suffer massive heart attacks.

This should mean that if the menopausal women are prescribed extra Calcium supplementations, the chances of they getting fatal heart attacks should be much greater, compared to those who actually lessen their regular Calcium consumption.

This is so because, the regular loss of Calcium (in the menstrual fluids) does not occur any more, and thereby that tends to accumulate to greater quantities within the body, making them to become overweight and ‘better built’ (with increased breast size and firmness) along with time.

The remedy for the above problem rests in the avoidance of consuming Calcium-enriched eatables and drinks, Calcium supplements, drinking slightly more water than that they were taking at pre-menopausal stage, and urinating nearly all of the water consumed.

More information on this can be read in my book “Menses, Menopause, and Osteoporosis”.

I think, it helps to remember that “If something is good, too much of it will NOT be excellent”.

Although Calcium is extremely essential for the human body, when in excess, it can ruin our body!

Well, friends,

I hope the above information is useful to you.

With best wishes,

Dr. Palani.

EVALUATION OF THE VALIDITY OF OBESITY TREATMENTS

EVALUATION OF THE VALIDITY OF OBESITY TREATMENTS

(© 15 February 2015: Dr. V.M.Palaniappan, Ph.D.)

All the existing treatments for correcting overweight and obesity problems appear to be based on misconceived understanding.

I have elaborated on the true causes of obesity in several of my publications, since 1998*.

(* Palaniappan, V.M. 1998. Obesity: Causes, Cure and Prevention, 447pp. ISBN978-967-9988-05-8; Palaniappan, V.M., The True Causes of All Diseases, 190 pp, ISBN 978-967-9988-13-0; Palaniappan,V.M., 2013. All About Obesity In A Nutshell. 220pp. ISBN978-967-9988-18-5).

I have all the time been emphasising, based on my research findings, the following scientific facts:

*  that sedentary lifestyle as such does not seem to make people overweight,

*  that strenuous exercises that induce profuse sweating appear to be making   adults put on more weight in the long run, rather than losing it;

*  that overeating does not seem to give rise to morbid obesity;

*  that there appear to exist FIVE MAJOR GROUPS of culprits that are responsible for contributing to MORBID OBESITY. (Morbid obesity = Disease-giving obesity)

*   that those FIVE GROUPS* of culprits, either jointly, or individually, contribute to only ONE MAJOR RISK FACTOR, and that is EXCESSIVE CALCIUM;

(* Group-1: Defecation of slimy faeces;

    Group-2: Erroneous eating habit;

    Group-3: Under-urination;

    Group-4: Consumption of calcium-enriched foods, and

    Group-5: Male and female menopause.

    For more information, read Palaniappan, 2013: All About Obesity In A Nutshell)

*  that the ACCUMULATION OF SUCH EXCESSIVE CALCIUM ALONE APPEARS TO BE THE ABSOLUTE AND THE ONLY ONE UNIVERSAL RISK FACTOR THAT BRINGS ABOUT OBESITY IN ALL PEOPLE, WORLDWIDE.

*  that, of the above five, OVER-CONSUMPTION of calcium-rich and calcium-enriched eatables (+ calcium supplements) alone has DIRECT effect in increasing the obesity of people.

*   that the remaining FOUR categories, comprising of some 40 factors, exert their influences only INDIRECTLY;

*   that each of these 40 factors contributes different quantities of calcium, all of which collectively make a person morbidly obese.

THE ABOVE BEING THE REALITY OF THINGS THAT ARE RELATED TO OVERWEIGHT, OBESITY AND MORBID OBESITY, various people, in different parts of the world, are trying erroneously to tackle the problem simply by REDUCING THE QUANTITY OF FOOD AND BY BURNING OFF THE CALORIES THAT COME FROM THE OVER-CONSUMED FOOD, through strenuous exercises.

Since the very understanding of the basic principles for obesity development is erroneous, success for its prevention could not be achieved all this while.


***************

Dr Christopher Ochner, lead author and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, USA, has now come up with the following statement:

“... the current advice to eat less and exercise more may be no more effective for most individuals with obesity than a recommendation to avoid sharp objects for someone bleeding profusely." 

(MEDICAL XPRESS February 12, 2015: Overweight and Obesity):You can read more on the above through the following URL: http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-02-experts-current-obesity-treatments.html?utm_source= nwletter&utm_medium=email&utmconten t= ctgr-item&utm_campaign=daily-nwletter

Their ‘original’ article has been published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. The Authors have been arguing that “obesity is a chronic disease with largely biological causes that cannot be cured with just diet and exercise”.

Following is the Journal reference:  http://medicalxpress.com/journals/the-lancet-diabetes-endocrinology/

These researchers appear to have been endorsing a small part of my findings.

They have a lot to go along these lines, for they seem to encourage surgery, along with few other deviated methods for overcoming the problem.


I wish the medical journal publishes my findings so as to eradicate the world’s largest menace almost at once. 

******************
Well friends,

Many of you must have been wondering as why I have not written any new article in our Blog for the past about three months.

In the first place, I wanted MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PEOPLE to read my previous article, wherein I have appealed, with justification, for an award of a Nobel Prize.

Secondly, I have been travelling around during the past two months:

In January 2015, I went to Gujarat, India, to attend the Pravasi Conference held there, wherein the Honourable Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi and the Foreign Affairs Minister Shrimathi Sushma Swaraj, came in close contact with people like me.

I wanted to communicate with them, with a view to seeking their help for the recognition of my findings for the benefit of all Indians, and subsequently people at large, worldwide.

As of today, the process has been going on.

Upon returning to Malaysia, I participated in the International Tamil Research Conference held in University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur.

I chaired a session there, and also presented a paper.

I spoke on the scientific aspects of the food habits of ancient Tamil population that took care of their health, and compared that with the modern-day practices that have been paving a way for the development of morbid obesity - diabetes mellitus, in particular.

The reception was excellent, and I was happy to see that my findings are getting increasingly recognised.

***********

Another point worthy of mention here has relevance to my publications:


For the past about a year, I have been presenting on every Wednesday, health-care topics in Tamil language in the popular Malaysian TV “ASTRO”, in a serial program called “Vizhuthukal”. The reception from the viewing public appears to be overwhelming.

If you happen to know Tamil language, I am sure, you would enjoy watching it, and would also benefit a great deal, for I have been explaining curative procedures for many of the diseases that affect humans – by “Do It Yourself” kind of approaches.

Thanks to all of you, my dear friends. Bye until next.

With best wishes,

PANCREATIC CANCER: DISCOVERY OF FIRST STEPS FOR ITS OCCURRENCE.

PANCREATIC CANCER: DISCOVERY OF FIRST STEPS FOR ITS OCCURRENCE.

(© 11 November, 2014: Dr. V.M. Palaniappan, Ph.D.)

I read with great interest today’s Science X Newsletter Monday, Nov 10: under Medicine & Health News an interesting article about the discovery of a first step for the recognition PANCREATIC CANCER.

In this regard, you may want to read the original article, by clicking the URL: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?tab=wm#inbox/1499cb5f967cecfa

Anyway, the original article comes from CANCER DISCOVERY journal. That is published by the American Association for Cancer Research, whose website is: http://cancerdiscovery.aacrjournals.org/ If you wish, you can reach that through: http://medicalxpress.com/journals/cancer-discovery/

It says: 

Researchers identify first steps in formation of pancreatic cancer

Researchers at Mayo Clinic's campus in Jacksonville say they have identified first steps in the origin of pancreatic cancer and that their findings suggest preventive strategies to explore.

They have described that the digestive enzyme releasing enzymes, called the ACINAR cells present in the Pancreas, become PANCREATIC LESIONS. Some of these can turn into cancer.

Pancreatic cancer is said to develop from these lesions.

The Lead Scientist, a Biologist like me, Dr. Peter Storz, Ph.D. says that if we can understand HOW THESE LESIONS COME ABOUT, WE MAY BE ABLE STOP THE CANCER ALTOGETHER.

According to him, the need for new treatment and prevention strategies is pressing. He has noted that the cancer symptoms do not occur until the cancer is well advanced.

*********

Well, Dear Readers,

I have the following suggestion, based on MY OWN RESEARCH / FINDINGS, and THIS information should help Dr. Peter Storz in his attempt to stop the cancer altogether.  

KINDLY NOTE: I HAVE ALREADY SUCCEEDED IN STOPPING IT.  Let me share some of the relevant information I know in this regard.

Whether you like it or not, FOR THE TIME BEING, please accept my finding that ALL cancers are the results of EXCESSIVE CALCIUM.

(If you find my explanation a non-sense, you can then dismiss the idea LATER.)

In humans, being day-time ‘animals’, based on Circadian Rhythm, ingested food will get digested during day-time.

If a person consumes food late-night, say by 10 p.m. or so, the ingested food does NOT get digested until next morning.

Not only that, the food, which are in the form of bolus, get stagnated here and there along the intestinal tract, for the PERISTALSIS ACTION declines as night falls, and stops totally after 10.00 p.m. or so - until about the time of sunrise next morning.

The stagnated food tends to release all the water soluble nutrients that do not require any digestive enzyme.

Calcium mineral, being highly water-soluble, gets absorbed by the inner wall of the intestine – by the glandular adenomatous cells that line the ‘lumen’ of the intestinal tract.

These cells, because of imbibing TOO much of calcium, tend to swell up.

A continuous inflow of calcium would continuously increase cellular contents and would pressurize the cell walls.

For want of choice, each of these swollen cells splits into two, thus resulting in asexual mitotic cell division.

As a result of continued cell divisions of this kind, the entire structure swells up, looking like inflammation. 

This process tends to occur in all pancreatic cancers. 

This happens because, there is no other structure that can share the imbibed extra free calcium absorbed from the stagnated food bolus from the duodenum part of the intestine.

Therefore, I think, it may not be correct to designate the above process as a KRAS genetic mutation, as has been suggested by the lead researcher Dr. Peter Storz.

Kras could be producing a protein that regulated the cell division. 

However, it may not be correct to suggest that it is a genetic mutation. In my opinion, it is sheer pressure exertion on the walls from the increased volume of the cytoplasm due to simple absorption of the free calcium excesses, in greater abundance, beyond the tolerance capacity of the cell itself.

The cells, instead of rupturing, divide mitotically to accommodate the oncoming calcium excesses.

Naturally, when a large number of cells have formed due to continued mitotic cell divisions that are necessitated by the continued flow of excessive calcium (through late-night dinings, night after night, for a prolonged period), they are bound to form a structure, similar to a LUMP (in the breast).

Dr. Peter Storz has recognized that the Kras proteins in the Acinar cells give rise to ICAM-1, and that attracts certain IMMUNE CELLS.

Different types of cells of that kind form the the PRECANCEROUS PANCREATIC LESIONS.

According to him, prevention of the above process should be able to prevent the pancreatic cancer formation.

He is correct.

As per my finding, the following understanding and sequence would achieve it:

*********

I have explained in my previous publications that it is the presence of CALCIUM WITHIN THE BODY THAT PRODUCES IMMUNITY (Palaniappan, 1998).

 IN OTHER WORDS, IF A PERSON’S BODY LACKS ADEQUATE CALCIUM, OR IF SEVERE CALCIUM DEPLETION OCCURS, THEN, THE PERSON LOSES HIS IMMUNITY AGAINST VIRUS DISEASES.

Blood tests show the presence of immunity, if the person’s body has accumulated calcium.

Often,a person whose body does not have excesses of free calcium, the blood tests show that the person does NOT have immunity.

In other words, it is excessive CALCIUM that  provide the IMMUNITY against VIRUS diseases*.

(* Virus lives in acid medium Alkaline medium prevents the very existence of viruses. I have established this in several of my publications.

In fact, the cure for chickenpox caused by virus is to bathe the body of an infected person with water that is alkalized by lime - calcium.)

According to Dr. Peter Storz, "Understanding the crosstalk between acinar cells with Kras mutations and the microenvironment of those cells is key to developing targeted strategies to prevent and treat this cancer," he says.

This appears to be correct.

THIS CAN BE ACHIEVED BY SIMPLY DE-CALCIFYING THE PERSON’S BODY THROUGH SIMPLE METHODS I HAVE ALREADY ESTABLISHED.

The procedure dictates that:

(a)  the person should drink about 2 L (or more) of water daily. Distilled or rain water, being edible and acidic, speeds up the process of calcium depletion; 

(b) void nearly all of the consumed water as urine, through about 9 urinations daily,

(c) ascertaining that the faeces moves out in good shape, and is not slimy*, lest, it would release the unutilized calcium component present in the undigested faecal matter, thus giving rise to morbid obesity, followed by colon cancer, and

(* Faeces would turn slimy if a person consumes chocolates, biscuits, peanuts, over-ripe fruits, especially papaya, excessive fibre-containing synthetics, and the like.)

(d)  all calcium-enriched eatables and supplements should be totally avoided. Also, avoidance of naturally-calcium rich food items such as sea food (crabs, prawns, anchovies, fish, etc.) WOULD HELP TREMENDOUSLY IN THE PREVENTION, AS WELL AS THE CURATIVE PROCEDURE OF PANCREATIC CANCER.

On doing the above, which takes about three weeks, the Pancreatic Lesions can be reversed easily.

As for curing the Pancreatic Cancer, the patient may have to take edible acid herbs or their extracts to gradually dissolve the accumulated calcium excesses, and to eliminate such excesses from the body altogether, leaving only the ‘WANTED’ or required calcium behind.

I have described clear-cut procedures for the above in several of my publications, including Obesity: Causes Cure and Prevention (1998), and Cancer: Causes, Cure and Prevention. (2010).

My book "The True Causes of All Diseases" has excellent information related to the calcium dynamics in relation of major diseases that affect humans.

I will be happy to coordinate if the internationally-famous Mayo Clinic invites me to be in the research time, together with Dr. Peter Storz, provided that they give me due recognition, not as a subordinate lab-assistant, but as a Prime Investigator, on par with him.

Will they do it, for the sake of human welfare?

With best wishes, and thanks for reading this,

Dr. Palani, Ph.D.
