Abstract
Through the use of a combination of naturally occurring substances, application of mechanical energy by way of exercise, and application of a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF), new bone formation at lines of stress can be promoted. This bone forming activity is useful in the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis. The naturally occurring substances consist of organic sulphur, antioxidants, and amino acids. These substances are preferably administered orally. In preferred embodiments, the antioxidant is alpha-lipoic acid, and the amino acid is selected from the group consisting of lysine, glutamine, and mixtures thereof.
Claims18
A therapeutic regimen for the treatment of osteoporosis comprising:
- (a) organic sulphur administered at a dose of about 1.5 grams of organic sulphur twice a day,
- (b) antioxidants administered at a dosage of 500-750 mg twice a day,
- (c) amino acids administered at a dosage of 500-1000 mg twice a day,
- (d) mechanical energy, wherein the mechanical energy comprises exercise, and
- (e) pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF),
- wherein the regimen stimulates bone formation, wherein the bone formed is biphasic bone.
A kit comprising a PEMF device and the components of oral dosage forms of:
- (a) organic sulphur wherein the oral dosage form of organic sulphur comprises about 1.5 grams of organic sulphur,
- (b) antioxidants wherein the oral dosage form of antioxidants comprises 500-750 mg,
- (c) amino acids wherein the oral dosage form of amino acids comprises 500-1000 mg,
- wherein the components are designed for use in combination with mechanical energy in a regimen for treatment of osteoporosis by stimulating new bone formation with instructions therefor.
