Weeble Wobble

Dear Friends,
My 85 year old aunt is about 4’10” tall (if I am being generous).  She fell in her yard this week and broke six ribs. When the doctor came in after the second day she stood up and sang a “Bushel and a Peck” trying to prove she was doing fine…I think my cousins made sure they stopped giving her narcotics after that one 🙂

My mom in response told me, “I fall all the time but I just roll over and pop up.”  If you have seen the last picture I sent of my mom she is anything but a WEEBLE.  Regardless, this 80 year old pair needs to learn to stay on their feet. Yikes!

We saw a few broken bones in our office this week as well. You can see in pictures above, the broken ribs on the elderly patient (left) and the broken collar bone on the 6 year old (right). We use a similar protocol to support bone issues such and osteopenia and osteoporosis along with broken bones. 

First it’s important to understand that bone density and bone strength are two different things.  Most bone drugs inhibit reabsorption of the old minerals in your bone which allows more minerals to stay in the bone. The problem with this approach is that it leaves old bone so over time this gives you density from a mineral stand point but not strength.

To support normal and healthy bone, even into aging, we use Calcifood Wafers (or Biost) and Ostrophin. These supplements give ALL of the nutrients bone needs to heal and repair. They also stimulate normal repair of the bone matrix. They are made from whole bone to help the whole bone. Just isolated nutrients such as calcium alone will not make strong bones.

Combining these supplements with daily exercise such as walking, weight lifting, biking, etc helps keep bones strong deep into aging. Including cruciferous veggies such as kale, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, bone broth, and dairy all feed important nutrients to support bone development.

So if you have any skeletal issues make no BONES about it and reach out to us! We will give you a specific protocol to support your bone health and repair.

God Bless

Testimonial

Kurt Bassuener, President of MWS Associates, Inc.

MWS Associates has leased office space in the Business Center since the inception of our company in 2018 and from 2015-2018 with the previous company that I worked for.  The Business Center was the clear choice for us to locate our main office for several reasons: location, cost effectiveness, reliable high-speed internet, services offered and full access to the conference room.  It truly offers everything our company needs to headquarter our business from without the hassle of owning our own office building with the maintenance, yard care and snowplowing that goes along with ownership.  

A major benefit for us is the ability to host in-person and online meetings in the newly renovated, state-of-the-art conference room.  COVID changed many aspects of our business with a major increase in online meetings being one of them.  Many companies struggled with technology issues to host or participate in online meetings with poor audio, video quality, background noise and unprofessional business settings negatively affecting meetings.  The size, layout and quality of the A/V equipment of the conference room now allows us to host annual company-wide in-person meetings as well. Every October we bring our entire staff in from around the country for weeklong meetings and the conference room comfortably allows us to host 20+ people.  The setting also allows us to host on-site meetings with key accounts.  Clients appreciate being able to combine a business trip with bringing their family to enjoy a few extra days to experience all Door County has to offer.
