What's the best way to speed healing of broken bones?

Filed under: broken bones 

Are there any significant dietary or other approaches to enhancing broken bone healing?

From an internal standpoint, focusing on improved nutrition can help improve all forms of tissue healing.

In contrast, reports have been written about starving children in developing nations where a broken bone may take years to set.

Avoiding processed and refined foods will help because your body must extract extra minerals from your bones to counter the effects of eating these foods. By focusing on a whole food diet, you'll be able to improve the net benefit of your diet's impact on the healing process.

As far as food choices go, the best source of calcium comes from the same place all those land giants get it from: green leafy vegetables.

A supplement of additional Vitamin D may also be beneficial. There has been a recent call to increase the RDA of Vitamin D as over 20 years of specific research has concluded that 200 IU is too little. Tests have been done with a daily intake of over 10,000 IU and no toxic risks has been observed, so you could easily choose to supplement with over 1,000 IU and the published literature suggests that you should be fine.

Anyone who thinks the body just hums along at a constant rate, which isn't affected by diet, simply has no idea what they're talking about.

    3. There's not a way to specifically help the healing go faster, but you should make sure you have enough Calcium in your diet to make sure that it heals healthy. Oh, and make sure you are spreading that 1000 mg out between 2 separate doses and taking things to help the absorption of Calcium, too… things like Vitamins D and K, Magnesium, Boron, Ipriflavone, etc.

    Some people may help their recovery time be more efficient if their bones are healthy like that. If your bones aren't currently healthy, this may help to make it faster in comparison… but that will really vary depending on situation.

    4. Comfrey wraps and boneset tea. It's a tea called boneset cause what it does. It's not made from bones! Avoid things like milk cause too much calcium can cause calcium deposits and it can delay healing! A different matter if you're low in calcium in that case milk is okay!

    6. To heal broken bones – - once the plaster is removed, it is time to completely heal the bones.
    For this take :-
    Calcarea Phos 6x – 4 pills 4 times a day and
    Symphytum 30C – 4 pills 4 times a day.

    These are homeopathic remedies and help heal the broken bones very fast.

    7. Yes, one can speed up the time it would take to heal broken bones.

    The first thing to keep in mind that with any trauma, the body produces fibrin, a sticky inflammatory protein which causes swelling.

    You'll want to get that sticky fibrin dissolved because they gunk up the healing and result in scarring which impairs full function after you've supposedly healed.

    I would do three things.

    1- Bombard myself with a top notch protein enzyme such as Vitalzym. In my opinion it is a lot stronger than WobenzymeN. I'd take five 3X a day on an empty stomach.

    2- Take Dr. Dr. Christopher's "Complete Tissue and Bone" orally and apply his "Complete Tissue and Bone massage Oil."

    3- I'd also take comfrey as a tea or capsule if you can find it. It's other name is "knitbone."

    Some claim that comfrey taken orally presents a risk of liver damage. On the other hand, the best selling author James A. Duke, PhD. has written that comfrey is safer than beer. I trust his judgment.

    Good luck and be well.
