Osteoporosis and Saturn

[Guest guest]

Hello mary and juliana,

 

Just wanted to give a personal case history. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis

in

spring this year, and I do have Saturn combust Sun 1* in H-1 (Cancer Lagna). I

was

not too surprised at the diagnosis considering this is my second Saturn return

and

Saturn will cross my ascendant 3 times in the next two years. Although I'm just

now

trying to get through the very trying Rahu-Saturn-Ketu aspects at 17¼

exacerbating

everything at this point, I also started taking the pharmaceutical drug Fosomax

in July

of this year. I wondered, Mary, what horrifying literature you have read about

it?

Having a natural diet and life style for 30+ years, it is hard to take a

pharmaceutical

drug, but I have found that it seems to be strenghening me. I also read about

the bio-

identical progesterone (NOT to be confused with wild yam, which is NOT bio-

identical;it's necessary to get USP Progesterone, which IS derived naturally

from Wild

Yams but is NOT THE SAME AS wild yams or cremes made from wild yams; I've copied

the technical jargon below). Fosomax seemed as if it would prevent (and possiby

reverse) continued bone deterioration, which I thought was important for the

time of

saturn in cancer in my first house for the next two years so I've gone that

route for

expediency for now. In the meantime I am going to start looking at Osteoprime

and

priflavone (brandwise also known as Ostivone) that you mentioned in your post,

although I think if someone doesn't have a medical background, it's risky, since

it's

hard to know what else might occur (true obviously with the pharmaceutical

fosomax

as well). For example, I think the progesterone creams may increase fibrocysts

in the

breasts (which I had a history of and also took natural progesterone creme

through

menopause). So more on the research for other Cancer lagnas also enduring this

Saturn transit would be appreciated.

"A wild yam extract product also uses diosgenin from the wild yam plant.

However, it

is not converted to natural progesterone and thus does not have the same

molecular

structure as the progesterone produced by the body. Although wild yam extract

products do have progesterone-like effects, they cannot be considered natural

progesterone products. The active ingredient in a wild yam product is diosgenin,

not

natural progesterone. . In natural progesterone products, diosgenin, a

phytoestrogen

(plant estrogen) is derived from the wild yam or soy plants. The diosgenin is

converted into natural progesterone in a three-step process. This natural

progesterone has the same molecular structure as the progesterone created by the

body and can be used to supplement and balance the body's progesterone and

estrogen levels."
