As a rediologist I read bone density studies. The data that Vivian had a 20% increase in bone density in 1 year puts her program ahead of the prescription meds. My experence is that with the meds at 3 years if there is a 15% increased bone density they are lucky. I disagree with Vivian’s statement that Vit D and calcium do not contrtol osteoporosis. For 30+ years I have uded a Vitamin D plus Florical program that usually produces a notmal bone density in 1 year without side effects and has a positive benefit for the men I have put on the program of significent reduction in prostate problems. One man with 5/night nocturia and 300cc residual urine at 15 years has a normal bone density, is free of all prostate symptoms and has a normal PSA eventhough he is now in his 80s. I am glad to see data on natural programs. Let me know if ?s. wsm md

Over 1 year on Save Our Bones program with no improvement in Bone Scan numbers — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 16:25:06 +0000

My 75 yr old mother has been following Vivian’s program religiously for over 1 year. No improvement is seen on her bone density testing. She wants to know what might be the cause of not improving her numbers? She received a lot of xrays when dealing with multiple spinal fractures. Could xrays disrupt bone health/growth? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have discovered that there are several helpful books on this subject that contain the same material as Save Your Bones. It is not necessary to submit salesmanship to join an expensive “program”.

Vitamin D 2000 mg — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 11:29:30 +0000

I just read an article in the daily newspaper about a recent medical study connecting high dosages of vitamin D and prostate cancer in men. I’m concerned about this, because I take 2000 mg per day of vitamin D, and wonder if any future, similar concerns will be connected with women? Has anyone heard of this study?

I was reading on the weight vest which I wear and I love it .
I would not get one of those big manish vests but the one for women with bone issues by nyk.
I was diagnosed with osteopenia 3 yrs ago and right after that I started to walk in my vest .
Im still walking each day and not only has my body undergone a transformation – it is stronger, firmer, more youthful and even looks better than ever but my recent check up with the doctor … he said my bones are in great shape!
Vivians advice is really helpful
I have read all her advice and love it.
Please people keep off the drugs they are all dangerous, they can kill – Ive heard of women who have lost their jaw bone from taking these drugs and have had their lives ruined .SAY NO TO DRUGS.

Some of these posts are so sad -like Marjaries who broke the femur bone by just standing up after taking FOSAMAX.
THE DOCTORS ARE NOT TELLING YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT THE DANGERS OF THESE DRUGS
THEY ARE POISON.
Thank goodness for Vivs site !
I cured my osteoporosis by starting a healthy diet – lots fo healthy bone building foods. My diet used to consist of coke and coffee plus cookies ! forget that junk now I eat very healthy foods including steak and my bones are very strong .
its importnat to have meat in the diet vegans have bad bones according to latest medical studies.
Also weight bearing workouts are a must – Muryal Braun the natural healer who had osteoporosis but cured herself recommends a weight vest for walking . The extra weight on the body forces the bones to get stronger and denser too. She recommends the nyknyc vest which is made for women and looks very cute like clothing .
The site for Muryal Braun is
http://www.reverseosteopenia.com its very helpful to read on natural help and forget those drugs they all stink!

I just had the next DEXA scan after three years ago and being pronounced officially osteoporosis… I knew it was coming as I was just under the line two years prior to that. I agreed to take Actonel and took one dose, after 12 hours could not even walk from being dizzy and sick, my doc said vertigo, I said poison! Well, took things into my own hands and with the help of my well trained intuition, and Vivian’s program and somewhere out there support of other like minded people.. I have turned it around. I am back under the line NO DRUGS!!!! My doctor btw secretly does agree that the drugs are not the answer and even said that my new numbers are what you would expect from the drugs… You who are doing this without drugs keep going and carry your golf clubs on your back..weight bearing exercise…LOL!!!!
THANKS Vivian!
