…Dear Anne, I don’t recommend any kind of hormone supplementation or taking Evista to reverse osteoporosis. Also known by its generic name, raloxifene hydrochloride is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). As such, it is supposed to have the selective ability to act like estrogen in some tissues but not in others. While Evista is reportedly easier on patients’ digestive systems than bisphosphonates, this drug has its own list of adverse s…

…upplement to help bones? -Alice Dear Alice, It is very kind of you to call Evista (raloxifene hydrochloride) a bone “supplement”. Plain and simple, Evista is far from being a supplement; it is a synthetic chemical known as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). It is supposed to have the ability to act like estrogen in some tissues but not in others. I write a lot more details about this drug in the Osteoporosis Reversal Program, includin…

…e, this probably sounds familiar to you. It should – the osteoporosis drug Evista works very similarly. Hormone replacement therapy has been around for 60 years. But over the last 2 decades, concerns have arisen over HRT’s role in breast cancer and other undesirable and often serious side effects. Not surprisingly the prestigious journal Lancet published a collaborative analysis of more than 50 studies. The analysis concludes that “The risk of hav…

…s: “If you don’t take the prescription medicine (Fosamax, Boniva, Actonel, Evista, Reclast, Forteo, Protelos, etc.) , one day you’ll fall, break a hip, end up in a wheel chair… and die.” Now that’s a grim outlook, if I ever heard one! But you don’t have to stand for it. Armed with the truth, you can “filter” through this scare tactic. And most importantly, you can make intelligent decisions about your bone and overall health. The key is to make de…

…starting with Miacalcin and on to Fosamax, Forteo shots, Boniva, Actonel, Evista, Boniva infusions, and two Reclast infusions (with HORRID SIDE AFFECTS that took most of the year to clear), I now have an abscessed tooth that needs to come out. Lab test indicates 140 when 150 is needed for removal with less chance of osteonecrosis. Have followed this DEAD JAW info for several years. NOW, what do I do??? What are the stats? What is the best source…

…back with an improvement of 10% in bone density. The doctor thinks I take Evista but although they are prescribed for me I throw them away, I do this to avoid being bullied into taking them. So why the increase in bone density? I can only assume that it is due to my daily walking with the dog for an hour and a half and my dancing which is a major part of my life. I have adjusted my diet since reading Save our Bones and have a well balanced diet a…

…y doctor prescribed 1200 mg. of calcium + Vit. D and also at the same time Evista, 60 mg. once a day. And your article leaves me WONDERING!! Didn’t say anything about milk, but when I was having babies, my doctor said if he had his way, children wouldn’t have any milk AFTER they were weaned from the mother. At THAT time, I thought HE was strange! Maybe not. A: Thanks for taking the time to share your story with me. The bottom line about calcium is…

…from previous year of 2.8.) I have been on premarin for 15 years and then evista for past 3 years; fosamax for last 8 years … of which I took myself off this May. I was diagnosed with osteopenia in my hip but this year it was normal. I had been seeing a trainer 2xs a week this past year. Doctor wants to put me on Forteo, which I am declining and am treating it now with diet, bioidentical progesterone, and mineral/vitamin supplements. My diet is p…
