OSTEO-TRACE
body and bone food was formulated by Dr. Rex Newnham (now deceased)
after he had identified a conclusive link between low levels of
boron in the soil and raised levels of bone and joint problems in
the populations which lived in those areas.
Dr.
Newnham's research
In countries with adequate levels of boron in
the soil, like most parts of the UK, the US and Australia, eating
good levels of fresh organic vegetables and fruit would provide
2-5 milligrams (mg) of boron a day. The way most of us now eat,
and the synthetic chemical fertilisers most of our farmers use,
means that the average intake in more industrially developed countries
is 1-2mg a day. People living in institutions may get a little
as 0.25mg a day.
The chemical fertilisers make it more difficult
for plants to take up the boron in the soil. We eat too many over-processed
foods. We discard the cooking water of vegetables, rather than
add it to a gravy.
Adequate boron levels in the body are important
to many body functions, but OSTEO-TRACE has been developed particularly
to promote healthy bones and joints. None of the sixteen nutrients
in OSTEO-TRACE should react with any medication or drug. They
should all be present in the vegetables and fruit we eat.
Osteo-trace contains sixteen substances essential
to healthy bones and joints.
Boron
Boron not only increases bone hardness and relieves arthritic
and rheumatoid pain, but also helps the body convert vitamin D2
into vitamin D3, the form of vitamin D the body uses to:
- absorb calcium from food, to prevent loss
of bone mineral density and osteporosis
- protect against (e.g.) colon, breast, prostate
and ovarian cancers, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, atherosclerosis,
tuberculosis, rheumatoid arthritis, high blood pressure, seasonal
affective disorder, acute lower respiratory infection, obesity,
type 1 diabetes and depression
B vitamins
B Vitamins aid amino acid metabolism, a key factor in bone and
tissue reparation. They also help people with arthritis, rheumatoid
arthritis and osteoporosis because they can reduce edema, pain,
joint stiffness, sensory numbness and tingling. In particular
...
- Niacin (B3) helps the body's enzymes digest
carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It also improves blood circulation
and reduces blood cholesterol
- Vitamin B12 activates the enzymes which help
maintain good cell health, especially that of red blood cells
Copper
Copper helps the body absorb iron from food and turn protein into
muscle. It also promotes healing in general. Copper and vitamin
C work together to help the body form elastin, an important part
of connective tissues.
Magnesium
Magnesium helps disperse calcium throughout the body. Inadequate
levels of magnesium reduces bone-calcium mobility and leads to
hypocalcemia.
Manganese
Manganese helps with the formation of connective tissue and bone.
As with boron, calcium and vitamin D3 deficiency, manganese deficiency
results in less dense bones which are more susceptible to fracture.
Selenium
Selenium is a powerful anti-oxidant which helps maintain tissue
elasticity and slows down the ageing process.
Zinc
Adequate levels of zinc are key to many body functions, including
physical development and growth, wound healing, protein synthesis
and the proper functioning of enzymes
Suitable for vegans
Osteotrace is suitable for vegans. It contains
no gelatin, gluten, wheat or lactose.
Dosage, course and contents
A pot of Osteo-trace contains 90 tablets - one
month's supply. Dr. Newnham recommended three tablets a day (with
a meal) while restoring boron levels and one tablet a day maintenance
thereafter. He cautioned that, in cases of long-term boron deficiency,
it can take up to three months to restore adequate levels.
Each tablet of Osteo-trace contains:

Dr. Rex Newnham RIP
Rex Newnham was in his nineties when he died (in 2008). He took
Osteo-trace daily, as a preventive measure, and was completely
free of bone and joint problems and hale and hearty until a couple
of weeks before his death.
