Hip Fracture and ACV or Lemon

Posted by GR on 07/29/2007

Dear Ted, Thank you for your concerned response! I have been taking too much B complex (sometimes three tablets a day), but it was causing me to be so warm in this summer weather that I stopped taking it, but use brewer's yeast (1 tablespoon per day.) It is true that I once took too much calcium (without magnesium), because it almost immediately relieved the pain when I had pleuresy and could hardly breathe. But after reading your maxims I stopped taking it except one calcium lactate several days apart. I did not want to stop taking calcium, because in 2003 I suffered a fractured pelvis which is now healed- but will too much apple cider vinegar or lemon juice (which I used today instead of ACV) deplete the minerals in my healing pelvic fracture? This has worried me because I always try to refuse harmful x-rays, and there are too many x-rays now being given by dentists and orthopedic doctors. What should I take to bolster my minerals for healing the fracture when I take this amount of lemon juice or APV?

Pelvic fracture are often due to long term acidosis where the slightly acidic blood leeches out of the bones into the surrounding tissues causing the calcification. The inability for the body to utilize calcium is that magnesium is often needed twice more than the calcium. Now I have found in more instance than I care to remember that magnesium has helped the bones more than the calcium. The ability to utilize calcium is actually the vitamin D and magnesium that is most critical. To prevent long term acidosis, a good buffering remedy is the 2 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with baking soda ideally taken 3 times a day, but at least 2 times a day, once in the morning and once before bed time. Its pH initially, its pH is about 7, but if well reacted, it is closer actually to 7.4 or 7.5 which is as close to the normal blood pH. The baking soda will be protective of the acid which causes leeching of the bones resulting in weakened bone integrity, much like acid rain on Greek Statues. Therefore I would much prefer that the apple cider vinegar is always mixed with the baking soda. Its the baking soda that is protective against acid blood that leeches the bones of calcium. A body simply can't utilize the bones without twice the amount of magnesium and sufficient vitamin B.

Taking too much vitamin B can also result in acidosis, as the B6 Pyridoxine Hydrochloride is an acid form so I prefer to take them less, such which for general supplements can be once or twice a week. If I should be taking something like three times a day, I better take plenty of baking soda and will likely take it the next week or at least a couple of days.

This has worried me because I always try to refuse harmful x-rays, and there are too many x-rays now being given by dentists and orthopedic doctors.

Doctors today now used euphemisms such as CAT scans, mammography, and other things but they are still X-rays under many different disguises.

A good mineral supplements are o.k. but they are generally poorly absorbed because of the wax the covered in tablets. This is why I chew them or powdered them and mixed them in water. If the tablets don't dissolve within 15 minutes, it is probably not good. A good sea salt will generally provide some micromineral also and can be mixed in regular drinking water at 1/4 teaspoon per liter of water also. A common remedy for radiation poisoning is aloe vera oil taken internally or sometimes aloe vera extract. The body doesn't need that much. Also allantoin supplements (if you can get them!) helps heal the bones and this is why folk remedy sometimes use comfrey poultrice applied topically to help heal the bones. I prefer to take about 100-200 mg of allantoin powder and mix into aloe vera oil about 5 cc and take them if I feel the need for it course!
