Osteoporosis Weakening of the bones Affects primarily elderly populations Results in fractures

Osteoporosis Pain Disability Medical Bills Depression  Patients experience increased depression after a hip fracture Mortality  Patients who experience a hip fracture are 50% more likely to die in the following year

Resiliency Teach patients the 3 principles of Mind, Consciousness, and Thought Help patients recognize how their own thinking affects their health Hope patients experience insights

Teaching Health Care Providers  A patient spends 6-7 days in a hospital after experiencing an osteoporotic hip fracture

3 Principles Mind, Consciousness, & Thought Taking complexity and simplifying Are discovered and not created

Mind Formless Gives rise to the following principles of consciousness and thought Given many different names such as spirit, God, or Allah

Consciousness Gives us the ability to experience thought  (Our consciousness follows our thought) Higher level of consciousness The elevator metaphor

Thought Our thoughts are constantly occurring and we are always aware of them Thought + Consciousness = Personal Reality We can recognize how our moods affect our thoughts

Conclusion The three principles can help patients experience better outcomes  Though the principles are simple, simply being knowledgeable does not allow full benefits  Strive to experience insights
