Reply to "How to heal broken bones"

Balanced diet is really the only thing (afaik) you can do to promote the healing, but I guess that is the one thing people with our condition struggle with.  It's the rarer over looked minerals that are required, phosphorus, magnesium, copper etc, and I'm sure you haven't forgot calcium.

 

The problem with taking supplements is that most are interrelational, so for example calcium requires vitamin d for absorption, but for vitamin d to be absorbed required magnesium.  Taking high dose Vit D without magnesium could deplete magnesium reserves and this (theoretically) deplete calcium absorbtion.

 

It's a complex chain which is why it's so hard to estimate the recommended daily allowance for anything.. magnesium will have its own co dependancies too.

 

The bet is a healthy diet full of root vegetables and leafy greens.  You can get broad spectrum vitamins but they are hard to absorb especially for us with shorter digestive tract. 

 

... A long time on a poor diet could have impacted the bodies ability to absorb and repair.. or it could be hereditary...

 

Not sure what the answer is, but there's a chance that is the problem
