osteoporosis research

Post by Mark »

RRM, on the old board in may 2003 you wrote regarding the calcium/osteoporosis hypothesis-

"Maybe no-one will research, or nobody will publish any results, but, in that case, I will do so myself. I'm planning on going back to university, to start doing a study that allows me to do the proper experiments myself. I'm busy trying to finance the whole thing."

Are you progressing here?
If so, what stage are you at?
By their fruits shall ye know them.

Check out the Osteoporosis page. His theory has been questioned and praised by the scientific community.

Here is the link

There was a post where he mentioned he was in talks with several scientists. Hopefully someone/somehow the mouse experiments may be performed to test it.

Getting scientists interested, and getting a response was not that difficult, but the next step is. I've written to many foundations and other institutions without results.
Financing is the most difficult part; the 'only profit' possible from such an experiment may be the prevention of osteoporosis. It will not provide us with an opportunity to design a new drug or to sell a supplement.
So, who would be willing to finance such an experiment?

How much money do you estimate will be needed, RRM?

Not even that much, because no fancy equipment is required. On the other hand it takes about 2.5 years of keeping about 100 to 200 mice (in 3 to 5 separate cages).

So: the costs for the space to keep the mice, for the feedings, the caretaking, and after their death: for examining their bones on bone-fracture toughness (using a device that breaks their bones, measuring the force required), which needs to be done by independent scientists, and can be done in a few days.
Of course the costs for the space and the caretaking very much depend on circumstances.
Im hesitant to put a number on the above; your guess is as good as mine.

If an experiment like this could be achieved, it would be best to combine it with another one: The influence of cooked foods on long term health; exposing one group of mice to a raw food diet and another group to the same foods, but cooked. See how much longer the raw foods group will live.
