Vivienne – Do you know about the Juvent machine – Motion Dynamic Therapy? – It is similar to a Power Plate. You stand on it for 20 minutes a day. I have purchased your book, and have been off Fosomax for 3 years.

I have been advised that this is helpful in strengthening bones.

With thanks.

Adam My Mother almost died from Vioxx. She was bleeding to death internally. She had a nasty ulcer in the duodenum. Gratefully, her Dr. found it, cautherized it, and she survived. However, later, the osteoporosis, for which she took the vioxx, caught up to her and she passed away after breaking the femur 2X. God Bless Her in Heaven! Jeanette

Hello Ellen I have a lot of compassion for you. The prednisone is simular to the dexamethazone that I have been on for cancer the last 5 years. I am also taking another steroid, Aromisin. Until I took these drugs I did not have osteoporosis. Now I have to be extra careful about diet, exercise and calcium/vitamin supplementation. We have a disadvantage (handicapp) and have to be much more careful than everybody else. God Bless. Jeanette

Dulce Thank you for your wise comments! Happy Birthday! I admire you and hope I too can be there some day. I am 65, a 2X cancer survivor, and now trying to get by with this broken vertabrae, etc. The osteoporosis did not kick in too much until after the chemo, steroids, etc. I try to stay grateful.

Ellen, as I suggested to Hammer, the best way to ameliorate the effects of prednisone is to follow the acid/alkaline balanced diet advocated in the Save Our Bones Program.

Yes Hammer, the effects of one shot can be reversed. The best way to do that and to counteract the effects of prednisone is to follow the pH-balanced Save Our Bones Program. And if you’d like a “jump start” on clearing the Reclast from your system, check out my 7 Day Rapid Cleanse at http://saveourbones.com/rapid-cleanse/.

I am 77 years old, suffer from copd,and prednisone induced osteoporosis. I was advisd by my physician to get a shot of Reclast. I did so and suffered many of the side effects, I will not take another- my questioi is can the effects of one shot be reversed? Are my bones permanently damaged? If I stop taking prednisone, can my bones recover from the damage done by long term (3 years) of prednisone? Thank you for any help you might give,
