YES, There are Tests for Osteoporosis. PART 2

To see the beginning of this article please look for Part 1 or go to our website for the whole article and references.
Part 2
The job of PTH is to regulate calcium levels. But it is most strongly regulated by Vitamin D. Not just the level of D, but how well it is functioning. Many factors beyond the blood level of D, affect how well D functions. Inflammation and persistent viral infections (think glandular fever virus) are two examples of factors that REDUCE D function and effectiveness

It is basic physiology that VITAMIN D function, not just blood levels, dictates PTH levels

Finding an elevated PTH, gives us a CAUSE of osteoporosis, but also a way to treat it. Giving D at doses to reduce PTH, is an effective way to address this. I have used this process on dozens of clients, and getting outstanding results in lowering PTH and improving bone health

Some people require D at standard levels 70 to 80, whilst other people need levels much higher to lower PTH. By dosing VIT D according to our level of PTH, and retesting within 1 to 4 weeks, we can quickly address your raised PTH and return to a normal level, a level that is NOT breaking down your bone. Most clients can be normalised by utiliising Vit D (especially using a more potent form, only available to Naturopaths called Calcifediol)

Both Magnesium and Calcium are also involved, but D is the start point and most important factor to address

An example of this is a 64 year old client (Jane), with normal blood calcium levels, but very high PTH ( between 12 and 16 over a 12 month period), with deteriorating osteoporosis, despite being on the most commonly prescribed medication (Actonel)

The advice from the endocrinologist was that she would likely need to have surgery to remove the parathyroid gland

But her PTH dropped from 16.3 to 7.8 in just 7 WEEKS!!!! This is an amazing turnaround, and definitely not needing surgery now. This is a fabulous example of looking more deeply in to the CAUSES of your medical condition and TREATING these

⚠️ Concerned about Paracetamol Side Effects?

Changes to paracetamol packaging and pack sizes (about a year ago) aim to reduce harm from both intentional self-poisoning and accidental overdose. This follows an expert report confirming paracetamol is increasingly used in self-harm, especially among adolescent and young adult women.

But it’s not just intentional use that poses a risk.

💥 Did you know?
• Just double the recommended dose can cause serious liver damage — even in children.
• Some people are genetically predisposed to harm due to detoxification pathway impairments.
• Paracetamol can also affect the kidneys, despite its reputation as a “safer” option than NSAIDs like ibuprofen or diclofenac.

🌿 Safer, Effective Alternatives Exist
As Naturopaths, we offer fast-acting, non-toxic options for pain relief — many of which can be used alongside conventional treatments.

Herbal allies include:
• Boswellia
• Bupleurum
• Ginger
• White Willow
• Gotu Kola
• Devil’s Claw
• Corydalis
• Jamaican Dogwood

Nutritional support:
• PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide)
• Omega-3 SPMs
• Magnesium (a quiet powerhouse for pain relief)

These options not only ease discomfort — many also help reduce the adverse effects of paracetamol and NSAIDs.

🤝 We’re Here to Help
Most people don’t realise how many safe, effective, and non-toxic options are available for pain management. Your naturopath can guide you through them.

🌿 Castor Oil vs Black Castor Oil: What’s the Difference?

We get asked this a lot—so here’s a quick breakdown to help you choose the right oil for your needs:

Feature Regular Castor Oil Black Castor Oil
Processing Cold-pressed without heat Roasted seeds, then boiled and mashed
Colour Pale yellow Dark brown or black
Texture Light and smooth Thick and sticky
pH Level. Neutral (~5) Alkaline (~7–9)
Best For Skin hydration, sensitive skin Deep conditioning, scalp detox, lash/brow growth

✨ Regular organic castor oil is gentle and versatile—great for moisturising skin and reducing breakage.
🔥 Organic Jamaican Black castor oil is bold and nourishing—ideal for strengthening hair, detoxing the scalp, and enhancing growth.

Why Choose Organic - No hexane or chemical solvents - preserves nutrients and purity - Ethically sourced and better for the planet

Both are plant-powered, but their unique properties make them suited to different goals. Ask us in-store which one’s right for you!

YES, There are Tests for Osteoporosis.

This one is mainly for the ladies (mostly)???

Many people are surprised that when they are diagnosed with osteoporosis (bone thinning and breakdown), it is only done by a bone mass density scan (BMD) and that their progress is only measured by this scan (usually in 2 to 3 years time). Did you know there are blood tests that you can use to identify the causes AND, to treat AND assess progress?

Doctors don't test for this due to a lack of education in this area.

I regularly test for the following:

PTH (Parathyroid Hormone), Hormone that CAUSES bone breakdown, made by the Parathyroid gland
Beta- Crosslaps, (bone breakdown marker)
PINP (bone formation marker)
Homocysteine ( raised levels are associated with bone breakdown)
CRP/ESR (body inflammation markers)
Cortisol, DHEA ( stress, inflammation hormones)

Unfortunately most people are not tested for these, or given any guidance on how to monitor their progress.

I will focus on PTH in particular. I find it disturbing as I often find elevated (often substantially elevated) PTH. This is a cause. One reason it is not tested, is doctors are advised to only test if you have an elevated blood Calcium. But many people have a blood calcium reading within range, despite having an elevated PTH. (80% of people with elevated PTH, have normal blood calcium levels!!). Attention, elevated PTH is 4 more times common in WOMEN than MEN ! ! !

And it has been shown that an elevated PTH , with a normal blood calcium (called normocalcaemic Hyperparathyroidism), is a cause of NOT only osteoporosis, but also:

Kidney disease
Elevated blood pressure and arrythmias
Gut disturbances (constipation)
Irritability, anxiety

The job of PTH will be explained in part 2

🥑 “Eating a keto diet on the Ultra Lite program has positive effects on your microbiome. It lowers inflammation and can even help reverse insulin resistance—all of which supports your immune system.” — Ultralite Australia

Let’s unpack that.

The Ultra Lite program isn’t just about weight loss—it’s about metabolic health. When you follow a keto-style eating plan with the right support:

✅ Your microbiome shifts—reducing harmful bacteria and supporting gut health
✅ Inflammation drops—thanks to lower insulin levels and anti-inflammatory ketones
✅ Insulin resistance improves—helping your body regulate blood sugar more effectively
✅ Your immune system gets a boost—with emerging research linking metabolic health to better flu and infection outcomes

It’s not magic—it’s science-backed nutrition tailored to your body.

At Botanica Medica, we offer personalised Ultra Lite support with qualified naturopath Tracey, who guides you through every step of the program.
