This time I write to you with a heavy heart…
Founding the Save Our Bones community has led me to cross paths with many remarkable people.
Let me tell you about a special person whom I’ll never forget. It all began two years ago, when Robina, a member of the Save Our Bones community contacted me. We began corresponding by email and a couple of months later, we met for the first time during one of my travels to Canada.
Thus began a marvelous friendship with Robina and her husband, the world-renowned Dr. Robert Bruce Salter.
I got to know Dr. Salter, both as a friend and as the Orthopedic Surgeon, professor, author, and scientist he was.
Although he held many prestigious honors such as being named one of the 10 most outstanding scientists of the past 80 years, and being inducted into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame, he remained a genuine and humble man.
I consider myself privileged for having had the opportunity to be a part of Dr. Salter’s circle of friends. I have many fond memories of our conversations where he shared his knowledge with me and expressed his views with deep enthusiasm. He told me once, that I, like him, did not accept the conventional “wisdom” and for that reason and against all odds, discovered a method that works.
You see, Dr. Salter searched – and discovered – new horizons in orthopedics that improved the lives of thousands of people around the world. He revolutionized orthopedic surgery and his medical textbooks are used around the world and have been translated into six languages.
So it was with great sadness that I learned of his passing on May 10th.
Please click here to read about Dr. Salter’s amazing life and his unequaled achievements.
His legacy is much more than new and improved joint healing methods and unique surgical techniques – Dr. Salter embodies the true essence of a brilliant mind that never settled for mainstream answers.
Dr. Salter will continue to be an inspiration to me and to thousands of others who insist on finding the untold truth about health and disease. I am truly honored by his endorsement of the Save Our Bones Program and will cherish the time we spent together forever.
My deepest condolences to Dr. Salter’s wife, Robina, a dear friend of mine and faithful companion of Dr. Salter till his last breath. May he rest in peace and may all his family be blessed.

Hi Vivian
I am getting a lot better these days . I was to see my family doctor on May 26th 2010 and the report she gave me was that my bone density has increase to 4.8 percent , And also asked me what I was doing to turn this problem around .So I told her , shr than asked me that the next time I come in to see her to bring in all the natural supplments that I am taking. So this was a great break though for me
Thanks for all the advise that I have received from the book that I have order from you

I know what the loss of love for someone that you respect dies.
I know how hard the toll this takes.
I know that time… heals the intensive quite pain,
yet the chain to the missing link are never ever quite replaced.
Healing comes when one gets to the place when they realize to say…Damn, I’m glad that I got to care and know that person for they were in my life to impact upon who I was.
Take Care Miss Vivian, heal and eat really good now for your bones and better spirit. Kim Mack

He looks to be a man who enjoyed each moment of his life.You know there is a time for every season. Hold on to the moments and conversations you shared.

Vivian :
I am also sad to lose your good friend. He must love helping people get well through natural and non-traditional medical treatment.
I think that the good memories you and him, together with his wife, shared together will
always be cherished for they are priceless, and
will never leave us until we see them again in
our eternal destiny. Someone said there is no
sorrow that heaven cannot heal!
May 26, 2010
Thanks so much for your kind words of comfort.
It is so wonderful to know that the Save Our Bones community is the voice of reason and compassion. Again, thanks to all of you!
Love,

Vivian,
It is clear that your good friend and colleague recognised in you the wonderful person you are and the courage of the mission you undertook in the work that you are doing.Of course it is sad to loose a friend even if their worries, whatever they were, are now over and if we believe in God then they are gone to a better place. May your many happy memories sustain you and Robina his wife and help you through these difficult days, weeks and months when it will not be easy.
God rest his soul.

Dear Vivian:
I recently read an article on reclast.
It gained my interest due to the fact you only have to take it once a year. I just had a bone scan and at the age of 55 they are telling me I need to get on medication fast.
I have read your book and I am scared to take anything. I have trouble taking Calcium. What are your suggestions?

The picture of Dr. Salter and his long obituary appeared in the Toronto Globe and Mail while I was in Europe but fortunately my newspapers were all saved and I was able to read and cut it out. His endorsement of your program is invaluable. Unfortunately too many physicians follow what the drug companies tell them. My condolences to Dr. Salter’s family. bd

I PRAY HIS WIFE IS HANGING IN THERE. MAY SHE KNOW HE’S NOW IN THE ARMS OF GOD. MAY GOD COMFORT HER IN HER TIME OF SORROW. AND MAY HE KEEP BLESSING YOU FOR CARING SO MUCH ABOUT OTHERS!!!

Sorry to hear of your loss of a great doctor and friend.Since I found you, I have thrown out the artifical sweetner, starting eating more fruits and veggies and give up Forteo. My pain doctor told me if I fall and break my hip I will probably die because of refusing the Forteo. Heck I rather be careful and die naturally if I have to than take rat poison.Since I do have severe osteo I just am very careful and if I go out use the quad cane.Thanks you very much for your advise..

I am sorry to hear about the loss of Dr. Salter.
I was pleased to receive by program information. Are there any meal plans available to help me get started with the 80/20 acid/alkaline balance. This is such a huge change from what I have been doing. Also, I have had skin cancer and need sun block everyday. What can I use? Has anyone distilled their own water at home to remove the flouride and does it work? Also do regular bottle waters from the store have flouride. As a new member to the program, I have lots of questions.
Thanks for any help.
May 24, 2010
We found a solution to the water problem and bisphenol A. We got a hot/cold cooler from Home Depot. Then we got a glass topper from a beverage distributor. The fit is perfect. Works great! The water is filtered through Aqua-Sana and then into the jug and put on top of the unit.

May 24, 2010
I am sorry to hear about the loss. I am sure he was a huge help in the reearch for this program. I received my program but was hoping their would be some 80/20 guidelines spelled out. Are there some meal plans that can be shared?
Thank you.
May 24, 2010
Yes, Vivian, Dr Salter was indeed a great man and a great loss to all. My sincere condolences to you for losing a great friend and to his wife for the loss of her amazing husband. Thank you for the e-mail. Keep them coming.
May 24, 2010
Vivian, You Have A WONDERFUL PROGRAM UP AND GOING. And I’d Like To Purchase It One Day.
But, FOR NOW, I CAN’T. I Have A VERY BIG DEBT TO PAY OFF, And It MAY TAKE SEVERAL YEARS TO GET IT PAID OFF. I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND. And If You Don’t Have Time To Read This Comment Message I’LL UNDERSTAND; Because I KNOW YOU ARE VERY BUSY.

It is always so sad when someone passes – it is their memory and in this case, his accomplishments that will live on to inspire and set the highest standards for those that follow in his footsteps, which obviously is not an easy task. My deepest condolences on the loss of your friend and colleague.
May 24, 2010
Hi Vivian,
We all share your loss, & that loss will affect a great many people as time goes by.
It is good to know that Dr Salter was loved by

Your dear friend will be greatly missed, not only for his magnificence of being but also for thinking and acting outside the box–the antithesis of so many in the medical field who practice only protocols and in so doing retard healing of those in need.
May 24, 2010
So sorry for your loss of a colleague, it must be devastating to lose a mentor so highly respected.
