This is a disabling disease which causes excessive bone mass reduction. It occurs most commonly in the spine, wrist and hips. It occurs mainly in elderly people, with women more susceptible to the disease than men but the condition is often more severe in men when it does occur. Osteoporosis can lead to bone fractures. The resulting immobility from hip fractures in elderly can lead to a rapid loss of muscle, strength and appetite and sometimes death.
Osteoporosis is often called the "silent disease" because bone loss occurs without symptoms.
Natural remedies can treat Osteoporosis . These include diet, exercise (not excessive), hormonal profiling and treatment, herbal medicine, homeopathy, physical therapy.

People may not know that they have osteoporosis until their bones become so weak that a sudden strain, bump, or fall causes a hip fracture or a vertebra to collapse.
The Irish Osteoporosis Society is an excellent source of information for anyone who wants to learn more about osteoporosis.
