Osteoporosis is a disease of bone in which the bone mineral (BMD) is reduced, bone microarchitecture is disrupted, and the amount and variety of non-collagenous proteins in bone is altered. Osteoporotic bones are more at risk of fracture.
Normally there is always a constant matrix remodeling of bone, where bone formation is performed by the osteoblast cells, whereas bone resorption is accomplished by osteoclast cells.
By various factors, in osteoporosis either bone resorption is excessive, and/or bone formation is diminished and by applying the GEMM Therapy at the selected resonant frequencies, these malfunctioning processes are normalized and the bones begin to recover themselves.
In patients treated with GEMM Therapy only after few weeks time significant increases in BMD is observed and in the long run there is a tendency for the treated bones to reach their regular level.
Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry -DEXA- is considered the gold standard for diagnosis of osteoporosis. Diagnosis is made when the bone mineral density is less than or equal to 2.5 standard deviations below that of a young adult reference population. This is translated as a T-score. The World Health Organization has established diagnostic guidelines as T-score -1.0 or greater is "normal", T-score between -1.0 and -2.5 is "low bone mass" (or "osteopenia") and -2.5 or below as osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is a very serious condition. 1 year mortality rate following hip fracture due to osteoporosis is around 20%. Ward's triangle is the area generated by the DEXA scan as the area having the lowest BMD in the femoral head. Therefore it has a key importance in patients with hip fracture risk due to osteoporosis. Below you can find case reports of two patients successfully treated by GEMM Therapy.
Patient D.I., male, age 57 was suffering from pain in the back, hips and legs that is limiting his daily movements and becoming more severe during the night and his DEXA scan confirms osteoporosis. He has taken 19 sessions of GEMM Therapy which resulted in a significant immediate increase in BMD in the follow up DEXA scan and the disappearance of his symptoms. His DEXA scan taken on 1st of May 2003 shows complete normalization of his Bone Mineral Density.
The following chart shows the amazing recovery of the patient with GEMM Therapy.

Patient BG, female, age 59 was also suffering from osteoporosis. Her DEXA Bone Mineral Density Scan dated 14 November 2002 rovided a T Score of -2.6 for Ward's Triangle. However only after 25 sessions of GEMM Therapy the follow up DEXA Scan dated 17 February 2003 provided a T Score of -1.9. There was relative increase of 18% and an absolute increase of 11% in the Bone Mineral Density of the patient. Even with long term drug therapy with several potential side effects this much of Bone Recovery seen only in 3 months is impossible to obtain.
