Ok. I have to tell you that since I started the calc phos something I noticed and I'm not sure I mentioned this but every morning when I first get up (this starts in the spring usually) I start this sneezing and I have to blow my nose and I noticed today I didn't have to do that at all. I had forgotten about it but it was so noticeable to me this morning that it made me really come to attention.

Also about two years ago I had taken a lot of nat mur all the way up to 50 m. I've had some sepia too. Only taken ignatia in low doses on my own.

Oh regarding the vitamin D I'm only getting it in a natural form. I'm taking fish oil and the doctor had me take cod liver oil for one month and he plans on doing blood work again soon to check the levels. I'll know more Monday when I talk to him. I'm sure he'll do another bone density scan in the future so we will be able to monitor our progress.

You know I was really impressed with that remedy. I took it once 200 c. It worked fast and I felt wonderful right aterwards.

Just a curious thought..
when you had the bone scan, was it a full body scan done at a clinic or was it one of the scans that are frequently offered at pharmacies that involve putting the heel into the machine for scanning?

The reason I ask, is that as my mother had osteoporosis and several femur breaks before she died, I thought I was in the high risk category, so I had one of these and it showed that I was (in my late 30's)in trouble.
I took the reading to my General Practitioner, who referred me for a full bone density scan at the hospital, where they scanned my hips, vertebrae and femurs and NO EVIDENCE of early onset osteoporosis.
I continue to walk for my weight bearing exercise, eat no dairy (haven't since I was a small child)- but eat lots of leafy greens & sesame seeds.
The Doctors said the heel scan doesn't give a reliable diagnosis & disputed the validity of scanning the heel, as it is the femur or vertebrae that fracture.
I think that the recommendations for the homeopathic remedies are good, as most over the counter calcium tablets are in the wrong combinations to be taken up efficiently by the metabolism.

It was a full body scan done at a hospital. The back, hip, femur were done and I was instructed not to take certain vitamins/supplements for several days before as to not effect the accuracy of the reading.
