Some ask me what is the best thing for Osteopenia (diminishing bone mass) or Osteoporosis (Dry, brittle bones).

If they ask me while I am in the health food store, I talk to them about calcium – a whole food based calcium is the most absorbable, but calcium alone is not enough.  Magnesium is needed either 2:1 ratio or 1:1 (2 parts calcium to 1 part magnesium).  What is also needed is the combination of Vitamin D3 and K2.  Calcium helps muscles contract, magnesium helps them relax.  Vitamin D3 and K2 together helps drive the calcium into the bones instead of it hanging out in the body.

It gets complicated and I personally believe that many are sincerely trying to be well but the science of what exactly works to accomplish what is needed in our body to be strong and well can fall into eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Without God, it produces stress not peace.  Without God, it produces death, not life.

Where do thin, brittle bones begin?

Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart does good, like medicine,
But a broken spirit dries the bones.

They begin with broken, unhealed spirit and soul.   The decision to eat right and take the right supplements is a great decision.  But without the decision to deal with this in the spirit realm first is a decision to be strong without God.  It is a decision to become our own doctor, nutritionist, judge.

What is written?

Ezekiel 37:1  The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. ² Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry. ³ And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”

So I answered, “O Lord God, You know.”

⁴ Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! ⁵ Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. ⁶ I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”

Dem bones dem bones dem dry bones
Dem bones dem bones dem dry bones
Dem bones dem bones dem dry bones
Now hear the word of the Lord!

Speak to your dry bones.   Tell them to hear the word of the Lord!

Then tell breath to enter them!  Breath contains oxygen and bones need oxygen to make new red bone marrow.

So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone. ⁸ Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them.

⁹ Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” ’ ” ¹⁰ So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.
