(often called FOP‚ or Stone Man’s Disease) is an incredibly rare disease that directly affects the patients connective tissue. The name means “soft connective tissue that progressively turns to bone.” FOP is a result of a mutation in the body’s tissue repair structures‚ which will cause fibrous tissue to turn to bone‚ or become ossified‚ randomly or upon tissue damage. In the majority of cases‚ any injury can cause the affected joints to become frozen in place indefinitely. Removal of the newly ossified

the calcium level in the blood and in tissues that need calcium to function properly. When the calcium level increases‚ it will cause symptoms that point to hyperparathyroidism. The extra calcium in the blood comes from the bones so fractures can occur. Blood work as well as bone density scanning will be used to diagnose hyperparathyroidism. Treatment at first will try to correct the high calcium level by dilution with IV fluids and Lasix. If the condition is severe‚ the parathyroid gland that is malfunctioning

Carbohydrates‚ if highly eliminated from the diet‚ are most frequently replaced with protein. The increase in protein very much effects bone health and calcium absorption and excretion. There are conflicting studies as to which way this is influenced. Type II Diabetes – Many treatments for type II diabetes suggest a high carbohydrate

The most abundant and substantial mineral in the human body is calcium. Our human body requires an accurately balanced exchange of calcium to maintain homeostasis. Calcium is vitally important‚ not just for providing strength and rigidity to bones‚ but also for the proper functioning of nearly every cell in the human body. The vast majority of the calcium in our bodies is stored
