Exploring the expanding role of calcitonin in healthcare: Osteoporosis and innovative therapy.
By SERVER BOZDOGAN, M.D., Ph.D
In the dynamic field of naturopathic medicine, the quest for versatile, highly effective therapies is ongoing. Calcitonin, once MERELY UNDERSTOOD AS A HORMONE for calcium regulation and bone health, is now emerging as a multifunctional agent with applications extending WELL beyond its original scope. The introduction of AIC Ionic Calcium Therapy, an innovative technology designed to safely stimulate for the first time the body’s endogenous production of calcitonin, is revolutionising the field by offering a more patient-friendly, personalised, and side-effect-minimised approach compared to traditional exogenous calcitonin treatments. Understanding the role of ionic calcium (Ca2+) in the body is equally pivotal, especially when considering the far-reaching implications of AIC Therapy. Ionic calcium is the sole physiologically active form of calcium and is indispensable for a myriad of cellular functions, including but not limited to bone health, neurotransmission, and enzyme activation. Therefore, its precise regulation is paramount for cellular signaling, influencing countless cellular processes per second.
CALCITONIN AND ITS VITAL ROLE IN BONE HEALTH AND BEYOND
Produced by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland, calcitonin has a dual role in bone turnover: it inhibits osteoclast activity while indirectly promoting osteoblast function, overcoming the problems and side effects associated with highly anti-resorptive drugs which essentially turns off bone formation along with bone resorption. Calcitonin’s role in up-regulating bone turnover renders it a key player in the treatment of osteoporosis and hypercalcemia, as well as other skeletal disorders. Endogenous calcitonin secretion is compromised with age-related ionic calcium deficiency, which is the key trigger for calcitonin release. However, safely delivering a substantial amount of ionic calcium through AIC Therapy triggers robust secretion of endogenous calcitonin to remodel aging bones safely regardless of age, as it also restores systemic calcium homeostasis.
WHY CALCITONIN IS NECESSARY: REVEALING THE EXPANSIVE INFLUENCE OF AN ESSENTIAL HORMONE
Within the intricate world of cellular processes, calcitonin, traditionally associated with bone metabolism and calcium regulation, reveals a MORE DIVERSE AND EXPANSIVE physiological significance. Interactions with CRITICAL PROTEINS LIKE CALMODULIN underpin functions such as signal transduction, muscle contraction, and neuronal activity, thereby illuminating the hormone’s WIDESPREAD physiological relevance.
Also, elevated calcitonin levels create an environment conducive to osteocalcin activity, THUS POTENTIALLY enhancing bone mineralization. MOREOVER, the precise regulation of ionic calcium levels further optimises osteocalcin function to go beyond improved bone health to enhanced memory and metabolic health. It serves not just as a tool for weight management but also for glucose control, intricately linked with the realm of ionic calcium.
THE HARNESSING OF ENDOGENOUS CALCITONIN THROUGH AIC THERAPY
The harnessing of endogenous calcitonin through AIC Therapy represents a technological advancement in healthcare, overcoming the limitations and side effects often seen with conventional calcitonin treatments. This state-of-the-art approach not only fine-tunes the essential role of ionic calcium in various bodily functions but also delivers a safer, more effective solution for conditions like osteoporosis and metabolic disorders, setting a new standard for patient-centric, side-effect-free treatment options.
AIC therapy also addresses the critical aspect of ionic calcium regulation, thereby offering a ground-breaking approach applicable not only to osteoporosis but also to a wide spectrum of conditions influenced by calcium signaling dysfunction such as neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune diseases, and even cancer development.
Advanced Calcium Research Institute (ACRI), headed by Dr. Server Bozdogan, focuses on understanding and expanding the applications of AIC therapy.
