Here we are talking more prevention than cure. The latter doesn't normally manifest itself that easily (until severe backache, decrease in height or spontaneous fractures of the hip or vertebrae manifest). Found generally among women who had multiple pregnancies, lack fresh air and sunshine, are postmenopausal and have for some time fed off a nutritionally poor diet. So many take just a calcium supplement on its own. This can lead to high blood pressure if not balanced with magnesium.
The latest research from Dr. J. Lee (Californian Gynaecologist) confirms Mexican Wild Yam (see below) rebuilds lost bone density up to 15% over 3 years.

LIFESTYLE ATTENTION

• Get at least 1 hour's sunshine daily.
• Eat food to nourish your whole being - particularly bones - and not food just to please your taste and fill up a desirous appetite.
• Walk and exercise gently daily.
• Include foods that deliver calciumand magnesium in daily diet plan (e.g. bananas, raw milk goats, ewes, soya, butter, green vegetables, sesame seeds, tahini.
• Stop smoking as nicotine lowers calcium absorption.
• Reduce coffee, tea, alcohol intake - they also inhibit nutrient absorption and accelerate bone loss as in the case of alcohol.
• A diet high in phosphates, sugar or in animal protein is associated with
  increasing calcium excretion, via urine. Balance is important here.
• Eat greens such as broccoli, etc. to obtain good levels of Vitamin K.
  Osteocalcin a protein that chelates calcium for it to hold its place within
  bone structures, is dependent on Vitamin K.
