Thank you for your thorough evaluation. I'm an archaeologist and I have personally assisted on excavating a deeply stratified cave. I've recovered, washed, and sorted, bones, teeth, and shells. I've also done flotation on thousands of kilograms of sediment samples that yielded pollen, small seeds, and plant fibres. Archaeologists now have many very sensitive tools at their disposal so deposits packed with animal bones can be examined for plant residues. Thin sections of these sediments yield evidence in the form of phytoliths, starch grains, and increasingly waxes and celluloses. Then there's the evidence provided by dental calculus and preserved collagen. Yes, prehistoric humans ate plants - they also ate a lot of animal source foods! The bones of these foraging people are dense and strong. In contemporaneous forager and farmer sites, forager bones are without exception heavier than those of farmers. I find it hard to believe that at least 2 million years of habitual eating of animal source foods has suddenly become deadly. Price's work, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, compared the diets of urbanized/Westernized groups with those of groups of the same ethnicity - often closely genetically related - who ate a traditional diet. The same pattern appears here. Moreover, Price's work in nutritional supplementation of groups and individuals with severe dental decay, showed significant, even startling improvements. It wasn't anecdotal either: he used teeth as a marker and produced series of x-rays for his patients. Price identified the factor X that we now call vitamin K2. He used oil extracted from the butter made from the milk of pastured cows. I'm also certain that biochemical individuality is genuine and that there's no universal optimal diet simply because there's no universal human!
Great video ! I follow a protein forward diet (mostly animal based) that is mostly wholefood and probably Mediterranean if a tag is needed including some grains. I chose lots fruit veg herbs and spices based on research that shows they all have proven effect on bones. I believe it is the phytonutrients that benefit not any effect on alkalinity. For fun I calculated the PRAL for this diet and it came out highly alkaline despite a lot of protein. So this research is interesting as it suggests this sort of diet is probably good for osteoporosis if tolerated by an individual.
I’ve drawn and run many thousands of ABGs over the years and can confirm that metabolic acidosis is extremely uncommon. It is most often seen with diabetic ketoacidosis. I really am quite skeptical when I hear anyone talk about an alkaline diet.
can you look at studies and videos by the author of the salt fix, Dr. James DiNicolantonio. he's done research on food intake and acid load and according to him theres a limit as to how much we can buffer acid by kidneys, lungs etc before bone is used and recommends taking sodium citrate after meat based meals. and to check urine PH.
Is it true that Hypochlorhydria also could cause osteoporosis? Not having enough stomach acid to digesting food and vitamins properly therefore bone can't absorb calcium and protein from the nutrient then you end up with Hypercalciuria. Can you take Hydrochloric Acid to help the bone to absorb calcium and building strong bones? Thanks
Thank you. for this information. Does anyone have knowledge of Onero™ an evidence-based exercise programme designed in Australia and now being offered around the world, specifically to prevent osteoporotic fracture by stimulating bone development and preventing falls in at-risk individuals?
I first heard of ONERO via Dr Doug, he discussed the program and Professor Belinda Beck, her study and the ONERO program. (Sorry, I thought that I’d saved the show but I can’t find it). After watching this I then joined the ONERO program online. They give you a set program of exercises for a 12 week period and then the exercises’ progress for a further 12 weeks etc etc for a total of 2 years. The cost is $5 AUD per week billed out fortnightly. I would definitely recommend the program.
@rowandowland1391 dr doug did a video with one of the researchers of the LIFTMOR trial Belinda beck, who went on to make the Onero program. you can google onero locations to see where it is offered in other parts of the world. She also did an interview with peter attia.I definitely think those exercises and resistance/impact training in general will boost bone density. in the trial they were lifting quite heavy, form is absolutely crucial to do so safely and working with someone is advisable. I also found this video recently that goes in depth into the exercises performed and how. This was a great breakdown video of the study: ua-cam.com/video/zkLPFZV43r8/v-deo.htmlsi=14UCnabu0hmL4FaV

My doctor agrees with you. She just laughed and shook her head when I asked about alkaline diet.
Dr Doug you rock keep the info coming knowledge is power ! I love researching the info you share 😊
Very informative and educational segment. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the people.

what about Evenity for Men?
