    Extractions: Micronutrients Related Links.... Bone and Calcium Metabolism Rickets is a disease of the immature skeleton characterised by inadequate mineralisation of the bone matrix. Rickets affects the structure of the growing bone, causing deformities of the skull, ribs and limbs. Bones that lack minerals are weak and, consequently, the weight of the body causes the bones of the legs to become bowed. Vitamin D deficiency has long been regarded as the main cause of rickets. Between 20-40% of infants and toddlers in countries located at high latitudes with long dark winters, and in more tropical regions when access to sunlight is limited, may be affected. Rates are now less than 1% in countries where vitamin D is given as supplements or added to infant formulae. However, cases of rickets are still observed in infants and toddlers, especially in breast-fed infants and in those receiving vegetal milk-substitutes, and in older children and adolescents. These children usually combine several risk factors including: heavy skin pigmentation, lack of sun exposure and low vitamin D intake. Cases of rickets have also been observed in children with severe calcium deficiency and in premature babies with phosphate deficiency. Some extremely rare cases of rickets are due to hereditary or acquired vitamin-D resistant rickets.

    http://www.vh.org/pediatric/provider/radiology/PedRadSecTF/103196/
    
    Extractions: The patient presented had a genetic form of hypophosphatemic rickets inherited in an X-linked dominant fashion. It is characterized by life-long hypophosphatemia. Several theories have been postulated for the cause of this syndrome. Original researchers believed that this represented a primary abnormality in calcium absorption from the gut with the depressed serum phosphate levels resulting from secondary hyperparathyroidism induced phosphaturia. However, most patients have normal serum PTH levels and no radiographic changes of secondary hyperPTH. The prevailing theory at present is that there are two mechanisms by which the kidneys resorb phosphate, a PTH sensitive mechanism accounting for two-thirds of the resorption and the other third being sensitive to serum calcium levels. It is believed that the hypophosphatemia in X-linked rickets is due to absence of response of the tubules of the kidney to PTH thus eliminating the PTH sensitive two-thirds of phosphate resorption.

    Extractions: A metabolic bone disease characterized by a failure of normal mineralization of growing bone due to Vitamin D deficiency. Causes of Vitamin D deficiency include nutritional deficits (dietary or lack of sunlight), malabsorption (pancreatic insufficiency, hepatobiliary disease, small bowel disease), renal disease (renal glomerular or tubular disorders),and increased Vitamin D requirement (Vitamin D resistance, anticonvulsant therapy). Pathology: On plain film there is characteristic flaring, cupping, expansion and irregularity of the metaphysis. This is because bone matrix or osteoid continues to form but cannot be calcified and the accumulation of this non calcified osteoid results in the irregular appearance of the metaphysis. In severe cases periosteal elevation can be seen. Expansion and fraying of the rib ends is called rachitic rosary. DDX: References:

    Extractions: A : Loss of orderly maturation and mineralization of cartilage cells at the growth plate resulting from Vitamin D deficiency is ‘Rickets’. Thus, Rickets is like osteomalacia in a growing skeleton. The skeletal effects are due to lack of calcification of osteoid. The most obvious change are at ‘metaphysis’- where rapid growth is occurring. First change to appear is a ‘loss of normal zone of provisional calcification’ adjacent to metaphysis. This begins as an indistinctness of the metaphyseal margin, progressing to a ‘frayed’ appearance with widening of the growth plate, due to lack of calcification of metaphyseal bone. A similar but less marked effect occurs in subperiosteal layer , which may cause lack of distinctness of cortical margin.

    Extractions: Did Neanderthal Man have Rickets? Many people think that Neanderthal man was just a normal human who suffered from a disease. While there is no question as to the full humanity of the Neanderthals, their appearance is not due to disease. What follows is an excerpt from Dr. Cuozzo's book "Buried Alive - The Startling Truth about Neanderthal Man" Soon I will be posting an audio file that you can download and listen to from one of Dr. Cuozzo's radio interviews about rickets, and I will also post a shorter version of the text below. Buried Alive The Neanderthal facial and skeletal form have been attributed to pathological and nutritional phenomena for years. This represents an attempt to classify them as non-evolutionary features and put them on the "shelf," thereby closing the issue. There are three major categories of causation that have been referred to in the literature: arthritis deformans, syphilis, and rickets. Lubenow mentions in his book that J. Lawrence Angel of the Smithsonian Institution wrote about the bones of the pelvis and base of the skull being deformed by vitamin D deficiency, otherwise known as rickets, also by a protein deficiency.

Rickets, which can cause bone deformities and other health problems, is caused by a lack of vitamin D which prohibits the body from properly utilizing calcium. Primarily at risk for the disease are dark-skinned infants who are always heavily clothed or live where there is little sunshine. Babies of mothers who have low vitamin D stores may also be at risk. Research suggests that people of color, especially religious or cultural groups who wear enveloping clothing should expose their babies' uncovered cheeks to sunlight for just 20 minutes a day to get the needed vitamin D. In cases where this is not possible or the mother is not getting adequate vitamin D, doctors may prescribe a vitamin D supplement for the baby. According to La Leche League International, the world's recognized authority on breastfeeding, rickets has rarely been found in fully breastfed infants. This is true even in northern climates where there is less exposure to sunlight, which activates the formation of vitamin D. Research has shown that human milk contains adequate vitamin D for at least the first 6 months of life.

    Extractions: TREATMENT for RICKETS DIET and SUNLIGHT (vitamin D) The connexion between abundance of sunlight and an absence of rickets was made by Theodor Palm, an English medical missionary, in the 19th century, whilst in the East - but his epidemiological findings were ignored(1). Use of cod liver oil had been known in Northern Europe since the 18th century and had been given prominence in the treatment of rickets in 1861 by Trousseau, a physician in Paris, in his textbook on clinical medicine. The link between diet and rickets was made by Jean Baptiste Dumas, a French chemist, who, in 1871, published details of his observations made of starving infants during the time that Paris was under seige from the Prussians. Dumas described the disasterous consequences of feeding these infants on artificial milk, prepared by emulsifying fat in a saturated solution(2). In 1880, Nicholas Lunin, in his doctorate thesis cited his experiments with mice, maintained on artificial diets. Mice reciving sodium carbonate lived for 12 to 30 days, whilst those not given this, lived for 12 to 21 days. Lunin found that "artificial milk did not improve survival of the mice" - but with no mention of the results observed by Dumas in children fed on this diet. Lunin found the mice thrived on powdered milk. Twenty five years later, Prof C A Pekelharing of the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands, published a paper in Dutch in 1905, describing his experiments which showed that mice could be kept healthy on an artificial diet to which a small amount of whey had been added - he had been preceded by Dumas over 30 years earlier, who had used emulsified fat in solution in his clinical application(2).

    Extractions: Accidents ... Useful Links HEALTH EFFECTS: DIRECTORY: FAN Health Bone Fluorosis Key Findings - 1) It is well documented - from human clinical trials, animal studies, and research on humans with skeletal fluorosis - that fluoride may cause osteomalacia . When osteomalacia is present during childhood, it is referred to as rickets. 2) An increased prevalence of rickets has been observed among children living in areas with high levels of fluoride in water, including in the USA in the 1930s, and among animals treated with high levels of fluoride. General Info Rickets: "Rickets is a childhood disorder involving softening and weakening of the bones . It is primarily caused by lack of vitamin D, c alcium, or phosphate."
