Did you ever try to imagine what our world will be like in the year 2050? While watching the news last night, I asked myself the question and, not surprisingly, my thoughts quickly led to – what else…our bone health. Even though increasingly negative news about osteoporosis drugs keeps popping-up in the media, we really don’t know what the long-term outcome will be. In other words, will doctors still prescribe osteoporosis medicines in the future?
With that in mind, I came up with two imaginary opposing scenarios for the year 2050, as reflected in a news broadcast. One is where the “cure” of osteoporosis and osteopenia revolves around prescription drugs, similar to nowadays. The second scenario pictures a world where everyone manages their health in a natural and drug-free way.
Oh! And please don’t forget that what you're about to read is ONLY the product of my imagination. So join me on a time travel trip to the year 2050…
Here’s the first scenario
BREAKING NEWS
Good news for those diagnosed with osteoporosis. Pharmaceutical giant Profit & Gamble announced today that the FDA has finally approved their new drug Cementex to treat advanced osteoporosis. Dee Seat, a spokesperson for the company, told WBS News this morning that “we are thrilled to launch our latest drug that will help millions afflicted with osteoporosis, a crippling and potentially deadly disease. Thanks to Cementex, we can guarantee to both women and men a fracture-free future”.
Unlike current osteoporosis treatments, Cementex requires only one dose that will last a lifetime. It is injected directly into the bones under light sedation, and the whole procedure typically takes no more than a couple of hours.
Ms. Seat went on to explain that reported side-effects are negligible: “The most common side effect is stiffening of the joints, which happens when Cementex leaks out to the cartilage and joints, affecting mostly the knees, elbows and fingers. We can cure osteoporosis, but unfortunately, we can’t fight gravity…yet.”
Doctors can easily treat this side-effect and the occasional pain by prescribing Dieoxx , a new drug developed by Quirck & Co..WBS was not able to reach anyone at Quirck to get more information on this drug.
Ms. Seat also confirmed that Cementex is covered by Mediscare, and that the first one thousand patients will receive a $200 discount coupon toward the purchase of a wheelchair, compliments of Profit & Gamble.
Stay tuned because when we come back, we’ll show you the latest umbrella designs that are stylish and give you 100% protection from acid rain…
Here’s the second scenario
BREAKING NEWS
TNN just got news that pharmaceutical giant Quirck & Co. filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection. Quirck is one more casualty added to the long list of prescription drug manufacturers that have had trouble with the dwindling demand for their products.
“We regret that this is yet one more drug producer that has failed” said Roland Paulman, a spokesman for the privately owned Health and Human Services Marketing, Inc., “but consumers are staying away from the type of drugs they manufacture”. He went on to comment that “This is further proof that our aggressive Just Say No to Prescription Drugs campaign continues to show great results. Ultimately, patients make their own decisions, and the trend clearly points to an ever increasing choice of natural supplements and herbal remedies.”
We were not able to reach anyone at Quirck & Co. However, TNN’s financial sources told us that it’s been long known that Preventive Medicine was taking a big bite out of the now doomed company’s profits. In the last twenty years osteoporosis, arthritis, heart ailments, and diabetes, to name a few, have literally become a thing of the past.
Among the sector's biggest gainers is Natural Supplements, Inc. Upon hearing Quirck’s filing, investors rushed to purchase Natural’s shares causing an unprecedented rally. Our financial correspondent at the New York Stock Exchange reports that Natural Supplement’s shares have gone up by more than 5% in today’s trading session.
When we come back, we’ll interview Dee Tocks, the owner of Stay Healthy Walk-in Centers, a nationwide franchise. You won’t believe what she has to say about the reduced visit prices starting next month, and she’ll reveal who qualifies for the new Stay Healthy mail-in rebate.
Whoa! Back to reality now
Stay healthy!

I have been following up all notes coming from you and i appreciate them. All of them will be very effective if at the outset the health of the bones are maintained by the proper sustenance of nutrients from the circulatory system via the nerves from the brain. That is, the bones should be properly positioned and that no nerves are clipped as aging goes on. Otherwise, bone maturity and vulnerability to faster aging is high. This can be done by appropriate hand massage and technique to release/restore potential bone narrowing that may result to impediment of nutrients from the blood pushed by the nerve system. We have the experience on this so that even sciatic patients could get recovered without the adverse effect of surgery. Thank you for this opportunity to share, wishing you all the bests and powers.
I would really like this last way to care for our bodies come to pass. As long as we have so many Doctors aligned with “pill” companies it will probably be awhile coming. In the past few years I have relied more & more on natural foods & supplements. I can tell a difference in the way I feel. I appreciate the work you are doing because I was on Fosamax for about 7 years before being taken off & have some problems to deal with. Keep up the good work.
L.E.
That was great! and very creative. On the serious side it will be interesting to see what the next ten years will bring. If we can all be proof that your nutritional program works for a broad spectrum of individuals with osteoporosis we’ll certainly be talking to our doctors and friends to proclaim its merits. Sure hope it works for me as I have some obstacles that make progress a little more difficult – age 71, thin, low weight, and take PPI every day for GERD. I have chosen not to take Forteo which has been STRONGLY recommended and since I’m not taking that another has recommended Strontium. I prefer a more natural approach and pray that this is the right choice for me.
It would be interesting to hear the results from those who have been on the program for awhile. I wonder if Vivian is keeping any kind of data base to determine outcomes. Thanks.
Hi, Betty. Left hand, palm up, massage pinkie on its outer
edge and listen to yourself get rid of the trapped air. So it’s just trapped air, thank God, and not your heart.
AVOID SODA DRINKS
I now take vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) , 1,000 IU. I have pain in the base of both thumbs. Do you think this is from the vitamin supplement?
Scenario #1 not going to happen.
Big Pharma is not in business to cure anyone, if they did they would lose revenue.
This beast must be knocked off its high horse!
i love getting your articles and am a firm believer in natural healing. I have a question? Is raw milk any better than what you buy in the store? Or does it have the same affect?
Our ancestors don’t used chemically made drugs to cure sickness or disease.
I still believed they used what our mother nature provides, natural herbs,plants, seafoods etc.Also, they used to hunt food and lots of manual worked in the field,which is healthy to the body and good for the bone. My opnion do not relied on drugs to improve your health.It will destroyed your life.It will make you sicker and is a silent killer.Thank you, Vivian for sharing the truth and I am glad you willingly helping others to improve their health.Keep up the good work.God bless.
I thank God I found you Vivian. My spirits have been lifted just learning all about osteoperosis and knowing there is a natural cure. Is it alright to drink organic soy milk — l cup a day? Thank you for all your help for myself and millions of other people. I will do all I can to also help spread the word that they do not have to use drugs.
Thank you Vivian for this wonderful program. I was on Actonel for 10 yrs. but stopped 2 yrs. ago. With my diagnosis of osteoporosis, I am following all of the nutritional and exercise programs I can. In the Osteoporosis Reversal Program book you list food and supplement info.. but could you come out with a 7day or 14day menu plan that would give us more examples of how to put these foods together in order to keep our bodies healthier and more alkaline?
That is the only information lacking for me!
Thank you again for caring so much….. Lyle
Dear Vivian
I@m so glad that I read your articles and thus I saved not only my bones but even my mental health. I’m a fighter as a person although I have been through a mytral valve replacement 24 years ago and since then I’m on blood thiners. These pils prevents blood clots but on the other hand they distoy some how the calcium that I take from food. I had osteopenia for more than ten years and I had accasionally taken some natural mild food suplements.
Last June on my annual scan for osteoporosis the score was -2.83. My doctor prescribed for me Prolia and in July I had my fist (and of course the last)injection. I started having pains all over mh body, my joints became so stif, I could’t go out of bed every morning as I was feeling so weak, my thoat was dry and soar and generally I was feeling like 100 years old lady. I started my search and lucky me your articles appeared as my first good luck. So, I said to myself after all you diserved that.
Thank you Vivian

I have been using Vitamin K2 as it takes calcium from your blood, where you don’t want it, and deposits it into your bones, where you need it. I suggest you google Vitamin K2 and ask a good natural healer/ health store/ homeopath for some advise before you decide to take any.
Do some research and make sure that you understand any side effects which could occur, although I do not know of any. I have heard that if you have blocked arteries, it Vitamin K2 can help clear them, but may also be the cause of a stroke as it loosens the blockages.
Good luck.
Dear Vivian,
Since I read about your Save our Bones program last month, I immediately stop all the prescribed medicines though my children’s against it for fear that my sickness might get worst. It has been my long wish to find alternative med for my osteoporosis. Drugs were so expensive and am not sure if it really cure my sickness or it will just worsen my bone problems for am sure my internal organs will surely suffer. i just continue with caltrate as my Vitamins and fruits available…But after reading your latest massage regarding FDA’s Cementex drugs, am again confused what should really be done to save my bones and be free from worries while we can still save it… kindly share to me a clearer ideas and assurance which to believe and be followed!…
warm regards,
minnie

I am 39 years of age, and have osteoporosis of the lower lumbar, and osteopenia on my left side hip, etc. Prescription drugs is the path that brought me to my current diagnosis. I had premature labor with my two youngest homegrown (bio) children. My boys were born 16 months apart and they gave me high doses of magnesium to stop labor. The magnesium caused my kidneys to fail shortly after the birth of my youngest son, who was born at 31 gestation. My son was born healthy and strong at 4 1bs 9 ounces breathing on his own. (A wonderful miracle) My health was quickly deteriating at the young age of 24. To combat the kidney failure they gave me very high doses of prednisone. This was not sucessful so they told me I was to be science experiment and gave me IV chemotherapy to jump start my kidneys. This was followed by 1 1/2 years of oral cytoxin (chemo). As a result, it left me menopausal at the early age of 26. The early onset of menopause, prednisone history, etc. brought me to a diagnosis of osteoporosis this year. I suspect though that I have had osteoporosis since my early thirties. I have been given one year to try to combat my osteoporosis naturally. So, I am doing my best to learn and research. It is difficult though because even among the natural vitamins and calciums I really do not know who I can trust. There are natural vitamin companies that are also corrupt and scamming the innocent especially the elderly. I have settled on Bone Renewal an algae based calcium source. They were the only company that listed all their ingredients on their label (that I saw). It still makes me nervous though because my doctor will not give me another bone scan for a year. It is very difficult to sort out what companies are legitimate. As far as prescription drugs even my physician told me I could not take them for more than three years. The side effects are just too bad. I am unwilling to take that risk even to be on prescription drugs for a short time to begin the reversal process, so the doctors say! It is prescription drugs that brought to where I am. One drug causes another problem, which is solved by another drug. I am not anti physician. There are good doctors out there willing to listen! You just have to be proactive in your medical care. I always laugh when a doctor asks me “why are you here and what do think caused it.” I tell them my speculations and smile. I guess what it comes down to is we must be proactive in our health!! Never assume that a physician has all the answers and follow his advice blindly.
My wife’s dr prescribed something like fosamax over 15 yrs ago. After reading the warnings in the literature we decided she shouldn’t take it and she is so glad today at 79 yrs of age.
Vivian! I think you doing a marvelous job; special help some people which don’t have any idea, about bones. I’m involved in alternative medicine for decades; and because most doctors only like to prescribe drugs from the pharmacy, I avoided has much I can. Doctors happened to be a professional way of life; then I divided in many categories, the one’s are for the money, and the others because love to see won patients with love. I usual saying animal world; just we all having what the Universe have. We have most of mineral the Universe have, but every human being only aloud of a portion of each. Calcium can’t be take without magnesium to make sure stay. I can’t mention to much because you Dr. Vivian are the one that help them people, only give any advise very little about it. I read about milk the; most about the ones come in boxes, and not raw. Such milk have conservatism that not good for our bones. Raw are the best, but have to boil to stay good for the day.
I still don’t know answer to my question about getting/keeping calcium in my bones but not so much in my blood.
Thank you Vivien
