Last month I asked about a link between CD and Paget's Disease (bone-related).
I received two responses:
1) there is a genetic form and a non-genetic form (possibly from a
virus). It's is unknown how to differentiate between the two.
2) natural treatment consists of:
- 2000 mg of calcium a day plus the appropriate amt. of magnesium,
- 2000 mg of vitamin D,
- tablespoon or bonemeal to provide phosphorus,
- boron.
Whether there is a link or not is unclear. One indicator to trigger
the diagnosis is a high value for alkaline phosphate on a standard
blood test. A special x-ray is then done for a positive diagnosis.

Thank you to those who responded!
