Suggestion: First, immobilize the person with the fracture by placing that part of the body in a splint until a competent person (a physician) can set the bones correctly so they can mend together. During recovery, it is necessary that new tissue be formed to join the broken bones together and the damaged tissue be repaired. Therefore the following is required: Protein, minerals(Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium and potassium) and Vitamin A,C, and D.
It is recommended to stop eating refined carbohydrates like sugars since these eliminate calcium. Strictly stop nicotine intake.
