 Both osteoporosis and osteopenia are diseases marked by a decrease in bone mineral density. Osteopenia is a less severe form of and sometimes precursor to osteoporosis. The loss of bone mass leads to a porous bone structure, frequent fractures, and delayed healing. Both osteoporosis and osteopenia are diseases marked by a decrease in bone mineral density.

 +Calcitonin    (({{pubmed>long:    30725954}}))
 +
 +<blockquote>Salmon calcitonin (after this referred to as “calcitonin”) is an analog of human calcitonin used in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis, Paget disease of bone, and hypercalcemia. Its clinical importance derives from its ability to inhibit osteoclasts and increase renal excretion of calcium. 
 +
 +Through these processes, bone matrix resorption and serum calcium are both decreased.

 +==== Boron ====
 +
 +[[https://www.educate-yourself.org/cn/boraxconspiracy03jul12.shtml|boron deficiency is common in western diets]]
 +
 +<blockquote>Boron deficiency causes greatly increased amounts of calcium and magnesium to be lost with the urine. A borax supplement will reduce the daily loss of calcium by nearly 50%. As this calcium comes mainly from resorbed bone and teeth, boron deficiency may be the most important factor in causing osteoporosis and tooth decay.</blockquote>

 +==== Cannabinoids  ====
 +
 +An optimal correlation of cannabinoid dose, duration, moment of action, and affinity can lead to an increased bone regeneration capacity  (({{pubmed>long:30702341}}))
 +
 +Heavy cannabis use is associated with low bone mineral density, low BMI, high bone turnover, and an increased risk of fracture. (({{pubmed>long:27593602}}))  [[https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(17)30392-3/fulltext|Response by H W Daniell, M.D.]]

 +Cannabinoids induce incomplete maturation of cultured human leukemia cells. (({{pubmed>long:3037549}}))

 +The psychoactive component of marijuana, delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) suppresses different functions of immunocytes, including the antimicrobicidal activity of macrophages. (({{pubmed>long:10733093}}))
 +
 + the first observations of GcMAF effects on the transcriptionomics of the endocannabinoid system and expression of CB2R protein. These data point to a potential nexus between endocannabinoids, vitamin D and its transporter proteins, and the immune dysregulations observed with autism. (({{pubmed>long:    24739187}}))

 +<blockquote>I was prime candidate for osteoporosis.  From age 10 to 17, I was either ill in bed or hiding behind the tennis wall with a library book so the sports teacher could not notice that I was neither running nor jumping. When I left school I simply lay on my bed to read at every spare moment.
 +
 +My husband's father was a scout master, so hubbie (//not on MP//) was a more normal child, but his spine and hip bones show clear evidence of osteopenia in scan. (//DHubbie is halfway into the black on both scans//)
 + 
 +
 +On the other hand, my own scan showed only slight osteopenia of hip bone (//grey area//) but no osteopenia at all in a spine that rarely had much work to do. I now avoid scans in confidence I do not need it.
