Bone Health Myth: Doctors Always Know What’s Best for You and Your Bone Health
Doctors Recommended Cigarette Smoking
In 1949 Doctors recommended smoking cigarettes. Today in 2008 they recommend taking Osteoporosis drugs…
Click the triangle play button below to watch this shocking video footage from an actual 1949 RJ Reynolds advertising campaign.
Here’s another shocking ad I found. Watch the first minute where a well dressed spokesman reads a report from a doctor stating how cigarettes did not adversely affect the smokers he examined…
Here’s another print ad. Notice how the image of the doctor along with the message at the bottom of the ad implies that doctor’s believe that Lucky Strike Cigarettes are “Your throat protection against irritation, against cough.”
Shocking isn’t it! This TV advertisement proves that doctors were recommending smoking cigarettes, while completely ignoring available research (that started in the 1930s) linking cigarette smoking to serious lung disease.
Now What Does This Have to do With You and Your Bone Health?
Think about this. Doctor’s today are widely prescribing drugs for osteoporosis and osteopenia, completely ignoring the many studies that prove their dangerous side-effects.
According to a recent article by Consumer Affairs (February 2007), Merck, the maker of Fosamax, has put aside $48 million to set up a defense fund for lawsuits related to the debilitating side-effects of Fosamax. Does Merck know something that the general public doesn’t?

I had cancer at 47 and was not given any info. about the risk of Osteoporosis. However, at 57 I had a fall and after an X-ray it appeared that unbeknown to me I had had a few tiny ‘breaks’ in the bones of my left hand. I was totally unaware and I can’t remember suffering any pain.I was given Cacit and for some years continued to take this. I had reflux and not much else but in 2002 I changed doctors. The new doctor Fosamax alongside Calci-Chew. I have not felt well ever since. I had a bad fall 6 weeks ago and nothing happened apart from being shocked and it occurred to me that maybe I need not continue taking this dreadful drug. I’ve stopped.My doctor ( a different one)agreed I should. She was totally supportive of me and I have recently had a Dexa scan to see the state of bones as they are now. The last Dexa scan I had was about 8 years ago. I am not Osteoporotic but I am Osteopenic. I will not take Fosamax ever again. I still feel poorly, I’m always terribly tired and I continue to have muscle ‘ache’, reflux and many more other problems, finding it difficult to swallow is one which is really horrible,and until I started taking medication for my bones, I felt fit as a fiddle, once I got over the cancer problem. I’m 75 years old and I am increasingly having difficulty in walking .My weight is increasing far more than it should and no wonder since I can’t walk about. Could this all be down to taking such medication.? I think so.
July 28, 2010
I have never read anything from a doctor before, encouraging cigarette smoking. this is shocking, that they could lie like this. shameful !
July 12, 2010
I have already left my comment – please advise whether it is possible to buy your
Save The Bones book in the U.K. Many thanks.
July 19, 2010
Yes, you can buy the book in the UK.

Vivian,
Do you know anything about the use of whole body vibration therapy for the treatment of osteoporosis?
July 9, 2010
I have taken Evista, Boniva, Actonel, and Forteo. I have had severe reactions with each of them; anything from severe flu-like symptoms lasting for days to watching hands full of my hair wash down the drain. Could this be my body trying to tell me something?? Uncle!!
I just started the program and have great expectations. I won’t take anymore of these drugs!
June 30, 2010
I don’t want to giving my credit card detail on the computer. Where I can buy this book in Melbourne, AUSTRALIA?
June 21, 2010
I have Osteoporosis and my Dr. put me on Fosamax but I have heard so many bad things about it also I have heart problems, acid reflux, and stomach ulcers,so should I start the medicine?

I was just diagnosed with osteo. and I am 58. I was told that I have the bones of an 80 year old. I was given a prescription, looked it up on the internet, really bad reviews, chose to go to the local health food store instead. I was given vitamen K, Strontium and a list of vitamins that I already take. My blood tests showed that I had good levels of vit D, and calcium. I am not overweight, am very physical, dont drink pop, dont smoke, already walk a lot, etc. So why did I get this??? My mother has it. That is it??? There has to be a better answer. Now I am told that I need to do weight lifting and walking on level surfaces for at least 45 min, preferably with weights on. Ugh!!
July 29, 2010
Magnesium, copper, zinc and boron are also very important for the absorption of calcium into our bones. I found out that my magnesium levels were low compared with my calcium levels so supplementing with magnesium or one of the other minerals may be the issue.

Idon’t like giving my credit card on the computer can I buy this book in newfoundland and lab. canada, im waiting for a hip replacement IM taking glucosamine chondroitin &msm and tylenol, regardsa mary agnes
May 25, 2010
I saw my doctor yesterday and told her that I was not going to take Fosomax or any other of the drugs related to osteoporosis. Her answer to me: “Give yourself a 3-month break from the drugs,make an appointment with me in September and maybe you will become BRAVE during that time.” REALLY DOCTOR???? REALLY???:

Im a 57 year old male diagnosed with op 6 months ago .Doctor put me on fosamax have been taking for 6 months but now my heart goes into a/f.Have had 2 operations for a/f and have been very well until the fosamax .I threw the fosamax away and am feeling better allready.I thought i was going to die from fosamax the way it made my heart react.I would love to know what i can take in its place ,im not going to take any more prescription drugs for o/p.

That’s not a big surprise. I mean if you check the books back in 1957 they thought asbestos suits were safe to guard against fire in certain jobs. My dad just died from Mesothlelioma and never smoked a day in his life from inhaling asbestos on his job. What they tell you today may kill you tomorrow. Best thing is to use your common sense and quit thinking doctors are gods. They are just human beings who every once and while get it right.

Hi Vivian:
I just turned 48, have not gone thru menopause yet, had a hip replacement (right) side this past november, then almost to the day, three months later, slipped on the house at a friends house and shattered my femur….same leg…i have always been prone to breaks off and on since childhood, but i am getting concerned as to why this all is happening already…i will need the other hip done in the near future as well…i had a dexa scan last week and was told that the density is within normal range but bones are not real good…so many people are shocked; like me, all we have ever heard about is bone density, yet mine is fine, but yet the bones are not real healthy…until the last year before my hip replacement, i exercised, have taken vitamins religiously since i was 20, and don’t abuse alcohol or drugs…why is my body breaking down so bad? any help or comments you have would be appreciated. Thanks and God bless you, Becky

Sorry. I follow the evidence and facts and avoid media hype, sensationalism and overt lies.
Maybe we should examine the evidence and ignore opinions? Mine is not a popular stance because there is no money or profit in my way. Cancer is ignorance and fast/processed foods. Totally curable and also an unpopular stance. Look up Don Tolman if your game. Follow the money and follow the lies. Is there any conclusive evidence orjust subjective speculation? 5 a day keeps all sorts of dis-ease away. If you have FACTS please change my mind.
March 30, 2010
I’m 52 w/ osteorporois of the spine. My Dr. has me taking calcium, magnesium and Vit.D and will have to start taking one of the drugs to prevent further bone loss. Any recommendations yo have would be appreciated or if you have experienced any side effects please inform.
July 29, 2010
Add vitamin K2 to the equation.

Several years ago I took fosamax for 2 1/2 yrs.
& developed a bad case of hearburn. prior to
this time I didn’t know what heartburn was.
My sister took fosamax for 3 yrs & she developed
heartburn & stomach problems. Doctors have
suggested forteo, after reading all the side
effects & than decided against that. Now my
doctor suggested reclast. I am really undecided
at this point.
March 31, 2010
Ditch the medication and try raw foods instead. Doctors should have health warning labels on them. They bury their mistakes and the FACTS support this statement. In Australia our doctors kill in excess of 100,000 people p.a. This makes smoking, driving cars and dangerous sports look very safe by comparison. And this is only what is directly reported and admitted to! I have a rule in life that says, If they wear a tie, they have been trained to lie. Educate yourself and look past the illusion of pharmocracy. You have free will, so exercise it.
April 1, 2010
Look up Dr. Stephen Sinatra on the internet. He has a whole section on bone health and what to take. DON’T TAKE FOSAMAX OR ANY OF THOSE OTHERS.
May 7, 2010
I took Fosamax about 2 years yet got worse, so they upped the dosage for another 2 years all during which I too had Acid Reflux and it still did not help. Next they put me on Forteo, At the same time I began to take D3 about 8,000 IUs daily, I was more consistant with my Calcium, and I exercised more( well, the best I could:) I’m in a wheele chair but can walk a little with a walker which I try to do every day for the weight bearing.) Anyway in a year and a half my bone density improved, was it the Forteo or the Vits. and exercise or both? your guess is as good as mine. It seems you can take Forteo only 2 years why? thats srary whats in it? Now they want me to take Reclast But Reclast is Fosamax in liquid form ( true no Acod reflux since it doesn’t enter the stomach) But I took it FOUR YEARS and got WORSE!! so WHY WOULD I WANT TO TAKE IT AGAIN? NO!!! I would like to try Vivians Save the Bones Programs but I just can’t afford the Book right now and besides I’ve read at least 2 notes here of people that have been waiting quit a while and have still not received their book. Is it safe to order? or is the book so popular they can’t keep it in stock?????????
March 21, 2010
I have been taking alendronate approx. 9yrs.
It was time and money wasted for I know that I have gotten shorter in height within the last 2 years. I have stop taken the pills this month.

The American Medical Association (AMA) is on the payroll of the Cooperation’s
(Big Business) The AMA and the Doctors are getting rich trying to kill us.
Heart disease, cancer, and most of the other so called diseases is a product of our diets from eating animal products.
Coke and the other soft drinks weaken the enamel on our teeth. Today, the cost of a tooth extraction in Vancouver, Washington is $100 to $300 a tooth.
Less not forgets the AMA and most doctors recommends drinking wine and some alcohol. The majority of the adults in my neighborhood are alcoholics.
Also they say drugs are good for us. Yesterday and today, we he have and had an epidemic drug abuse in our youth and adult population. There are rumors we have had at least one president who had a drug problem.
I use to pass out DVDs on curing cancer from the inside. I stopped because people could not accept the evidence. Good luck Benny
March 31, 2010
It’s not just the American system that’s in the lap of big pharma, it’s global. I know you Americans like to think your the only ones on Earth, but newsflash, there a billions of us out there. Your greed driven corporations ruke the world with money and fear. Every society that stemmed from the UK is the same. Our society is shot to pieces by self interest and the love of money.
Our diets are killing us and yes we drink soft drinks that are death in a bottle. So are the medications. So is your flouridated water, the processed foods, and garbage we pour into our stomachs. When you say that doctors say drugs are good for us, did you mean pharmaceutical drugs or are you refering to illegal street drugs? Do some research on Google and Youtube and discover the many cures for cancer. Cancer is a Fungus by Dr Tulio Simoncini is a ripper. He got sacked for telling the truth. Marijuana is the most demonized plant in history thanks to the oil boys pushing nylons and plastics into our lives and killing millions for money. Finally, get your mojo back and keep handing out dvds and have faith in yourself. Why would you let anyones opinion bother you when you have the FACTS? Harden up a bit and get back in there and fight for life.
March 16, 2010
Ihave received all of th information that you have furnished and thank you so much for this, but I have sent a chedk to you for the book almost three weeks a go foryour book and have not received it as of this date.

I, too, have been diagnosed with osteoporosis. Doctor want to write a prescription for Fosomax, plus I’m to take 600 mil of Calicium plus Vitamin D three times daily. I do not want to take the Fosomax, so what else can I do and what other vitamins would be a plus for me.
March 26, 2010
I took fosomax for 6 months — according to directions — and have had reflux ever since. It did a job on my esophagas. On the other hand, my mother (96) has taken fosomax for many years without any problem. It did not prevent her from fracturing a femur (thigh bone), however. She now uses a walker.
March 30, 2010
My Dr. informed me Fosomax was not good and has proven to cause more issues than results.

Raw Foods. Heal Thyself. Take responsibility for your own health. Instead of wasting your money and life supporting big pharma businesses, support your local vegetable growers and start laughing again.
May 13, 2010
Pat, that’s precisely why I created the Save Our Bones Program. In it you’ll find a natural and drug-free way to increase bone density including a list of supplements, exercise recommendations, and much more.

Over consumption of calcium is considered to be a problem with bone health – visit this website for another point of view.

I am 72 and have been on hormone therapy 15 months for prostate cancer which I will stop next month.I have been on fosamax for the same period.Should I stop fosamax immediately and what do you suggest?
March 9, 2010
I am wondering about this … http://www.algaecal.com/
Is it any good in anyone’s experience .. has anyone here tried it??? I dont know about the Strontium Ranelate, as have heard both good and bad things about it??? Please comment as I am very curious – I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis … which does sound strange. I had a bad accident with a particularly nasty fracture in 2005 and was diagnosed in 2006. I have taken extra calcium, but nothing else as I am worried about side effects.
I have not yet received the book(s) … hope to get them soon???
Thanks, Ingrid
March 2, 2010
I have lost the e-mail you sent where you also included info re bananas being good for bones and a recipe for green plantain. Can you resend it back to me. Many thanks.
March 9, 2010
yes please would like answer to this qquestion
March 2, 2010
I have been recommended to take Forteo, by two physicians. One is a major research physician from USC. I am in constant pain from osteoporosis, but I also have, Lupus SLE, Celiac, Reynauds, Sjorgen’s along with a few I can’t even remember. The previous email stated Reclast was great. Not sure what to do at this point. I am following diet from Vivian’s book but only for a few weeks. I would love to get off Oxycontin and Vicodin-it’s been almost 10 years and I am 56 years old. Anyone have any thoughts? Other than just get off the pain meds-I can’t get out of bed if i do.
April 8, 2010
I am addressing the person who is 56 with osteoporosis and pain. I am 58 with severe -4 -5 osteoporosis. I take Forteo and have been for 3 months. I don’t feel side affects. I am under the impression it helps to create bone mass but speaking to Dr’s has not confirmed this.I feel that I need to take this beause of severity. Have you found the reason for the osteoporosis? I have spinal fractures disc bulges with annular tears. The pain is terrible. Pain is what I need guidance with.
February 6, 2010
I have received an injection called zoladex. I have prostate cancer and this injection is supposed to stop the production of testosterone.
I have been told by the specialist that I will have to do something about the osteoporosis that was also detected. All three treatments available through the medical profession have terrible side effects and I have decided to give these treatments a miss. Can the “Save Our Bones” program be used while the slow-release zoladex implant is in my body? Is it possible that the said program will worsen bone-cancer?
February 5, 2010
I’m thinking about getting your book. I have several health problems, Limited Sclerderma , Raynauds, and now Ostoprosis, so I must be careful. I love everything I have read from you and I don’t want to take the drug Evista , which my doctor prescribed. Do you know anything about Evista?
February 13, 2010
Unfortunately, none of this has helped my osteoporosis, which gets worse by the day.
I have multiple fractures and spontaneous rib francture, even though I have followed everything that Vivian advises.
Now doc wants me on Evista, because I refused to take the bisphosphonates. Please advise me re Evista. Gynecologist suggested going back on HRT.
March 31, 2010
Please look up Raw Foods by Don Tolman and take control of your life before the medicos kill you. Don’t believe a word I type, just do your own research and follow the FACTS.
June 12, 2010
I took evista for 2yrs until my next bone scan,results osteopenia went into osteororosis
February 2, 2010
I have been in agony for the last 3 weeks since I took my second dose of Boniva, I would love to do anything to get this off the market so no one else has these side effects
March 1, 2010
What were your side effects? I took Boniva but had no adverse reactions. After reading Vivian’s information I am worried that my bones will be fossilized! I wanted to go back to
Boniva but was looking for an alternative. Please let me know what you experienced while you were taking Boniva.
February 2, 2010
While I appreciate the information, I’m trying to understand how you know about my osteoporosis. I’m a dinasaur when it comes to technology, so I consider that part of the reason.
February 20, 2010
Caryn, how long have you been on the once a year intravenious Reclast (which is what my physician wants me to have)? Thanks for your response and contributing details about your experience.
