I broke my right femur 6 weeks ago, in a very strange tripping while accident, and just the say it happened leads me to think the femur had to have been very weak or fractured before I even hit the ground. Quite a scary thought, but all I can do is go one from here and do all I can to try and help my bones. Not taking any drugs, but now extra D (2,000 mg /day) and also your magnesium should be a little more than your calcium! Most formulas don't provide this. I have read about this ratio in quite a few places. I don't know what your take on this ratio Vivan. Thanks!

I have some prolapse down there (never diagnosed, except for the uterus), and I feel it's mostly due to just not having very good core strength (i.e. abdominal and connecting muscles). I think working on those muscles can probably help with such prolapse, because the muscles are what supports the organs inside. Just a thought.

I'm already recovering from a total right hip replacement operation. I had a cracked right femur which was caused from radiation I had in Mar '07..In Apr '08 I went on vacation and carried my luggage down from the 2nd floor of a hotel. As I lifted the luggage with my right hand I lifted and twisted my right side towards the left to carry down the luggage. Little did I know what really happened. I went to see my doc in 3 days later, he said I probably had a muscle pull, he precribed for me inflamatory pills. The hurt didn't go away, he sent me for xrays which showed the fracture. Low & behold I had the operation at the end of Nov '08. Things are much better, I exercise daily but I continuously seek info for building up bone mineral density. I got your free 50 odd little booklet which is good inf. I'm 73 yrs young so I have to keep watching myself. I'm not on any meds whatsover. I ask God to keep guiding me to healtier bones. I enjoy your info immensely. Thx, Joe Safranko, Toronto ON Canada. This is the first time that I saw an exercise for bones. I’m already recovering from a total right hip replacement operation.

I feel this is a good one. My dr told me that the impact from walking stimulated new bone growth. I can see that is eactly what this exercise would do. Thank you so much for your help and advice.

BUT I was stricken with polio in 1944 and my L leg is totally paralized and my R leg is limited. INTERESTING - last night on TV news they were telling about how Fosamax does not help. Supports what you have been telling us! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! I cannot watch the video-we have dial up connection.

Sad to say, I had to have surgery for a prolapsed bladder due to prolonged bouncing up and down on a mini tramp. This exercise is even more traumatic.
