I took them for six weeks then found my arms, legs, and body were covered in sores that would bleed I had a large one on my throat and several on my face. My doctor thought the one on my face was a basal cell carcinoma, and I was sent to a dermatology unit for a biopsy, the result was sent to India to be written up and returned confirming it. But the surgeon who performed the biopsy phoned me to say she had put it under the microscope again and said it was not. But when I went to see her I said I know what it was! it was the Generic alendronate that had been sneaked in on me because one of my friends who had osteoporosis and had been taking the Merk Fosamax for six years was given the generic one and broke out in the same condition as me, but because her doctor would not change her back onto the original she fared far worse and to this day has never really recovered from it. I think to many drug companies jump on the band wagon as they say to make a fast buck and care nothing for the damage they do.

Vivian, I Really LOVED That Osteoporosis Drug Story. It Was Very Cleverly Narrated By Mr. Allen Dronate. I Have A Question! I Took Hormones For Years After I Had A Total Hysterectomy. I Started On Premarin In Coated Pill Form, And Then Went To Estradiol, Also A Coated Pill. Then My Doctor Told Me To Wean Myself Off Of The Estradiol, Once Off, I Stayed Off For About Two Years; But I Was Having A Lot Of Pain When Having Sex. So I Went Back To My Doctor And He Told Me To Try The Cream Version Of Estradiol Under The Name Of Estrace 0.01% Cream. And It's Been Helping My Sex Life, But I Wonder If It Is Going To Cause Problems In The Long Run, Because It Does Have Unpleasant Side Effects. Do You Know If There Is Something I Can Take, Or Do As An Alternative, That's Safe And Without Side Effects? If You Do, Please Let Me Know What It Is. I Would Appreciate It Very Much, If You Would. Thank You Very Much, In Advance, For Your Help And Input On This Matter. LOVE, MS. L. Hi! Vivian,

Today (July 8,2010) I went to see my bone doctor. I am what you call a rapid loser and my bone density in my spine is now at -2.5. I am 55 years old and post menopausal. The Doc gave me a script for Actonel. I told him that I am very hesitant to take these drugs and his response to me was "Do I have to take you over to the surgical wing at the hospital where patients are with broken hips." I have been on numerous sites for osteoporosis and I want to try anything else besides these drugs. Any advice out there! Hello everyone

Dear Vivian,

Regarding NAHCO3–BAKING SODA–is baking soda alkalizing for the body? Can you add it to your drinking water to make your body’s ph more alkaline?

I have read your book and am following your advice. I have yet to see any suggestions concerning the use of organic green super foods. You know .. the powdered greens to be mixed in with juice. Being rich in Chlorophyll, mineral,etc, you would think using “greens” would be good for maintaining the acid/alkaline balance. Should I continue using it or save my money? Keep up the fine job. It’s encouraging. Cora Hey Vivian,
