Please note that the “The Bone Health Revolution” was the previous title for the “Osteoporosis Reversal Program”.
Here are the highlights of the conversation:
- In 2004, Melanie Haas, from buffalo New York, doctor recommended that she drink a lot of milk to prevent further bone loss evidenced in her Bone Density Scan.
- Two years later, Melanie was diagonosed with osteopenia, (increasing her milk consumption only made her gain weight) and was prescribed Fosamax. Her doctor also warned her that if she didn't start taking the medication immediately, she could fall and break a bone, and become immobile.
- Melanie was worried about taking osteoporosis drugs since she knew that they contain harsh chemicals, and read first-hand accounts from people who suffered and continue to suffer from the side-effects of the drugs. After further research online, she came across the Save Our Bones website.
- Melanie read Vivian's story and noticed how similar it is to her's, and decided to order the Osteoporosis Reversal Program so she could start to strengthen her bone density naturally without taking the drugs.
- Melanie found the Program very easy to understand and follow, and this further motivated her to stay off the drugs.
- After a year of following the Osteoporosis Reversal Program, she went back to her doctor for a Bone Density Scan and was amazed to find that her spine showed a normal reading and and that her hips had improved to only a -1. She had a great deal of success with the Program.
- Melanie told everyone she knew about her results, and emailed Vivian to report the good news.
- This is just one example proving that the Osteoporosis Reversal Program is effective in increasing bone density without drugs. Whether you have osteoporosis or osteopenia and even if you have already started taking the drugs, the Osteoporosis Reversal Program will increase your bone density.

Vivian, I agree with what you are saying about the bisphosphonate drugs. Years ago, my gyn doctor also told me that I needed to be taking Actonel, which is like Fosamax. I took it for awhile and was distressed to find out that I started having pain in my left thigh on occasion and to the point where it was making it difficult to sleep. At one point after having taken the drug for a while, I found myself having pain in my left thigh when trying to climb a flight of stairs or trying to sleep. On my own, after much research into the actions of bisphosphonates, I decided to stop taking it. I felt that the pain may have been caused by the Actonel and in a very short time, the pain went away. To this day, I am not having any discomfort in my leg as I did then. Also, it was disturbing to find that some people reported necrosis of the jaw when on these drugs. My dentist was very alarmed to hear that I had taken Actonel. They are very scary drugs and I was very glad to see this website, as it is the only one that I have seen that really speaks out about the dangers of these drugs. Thanks again for all the info!
Do you have any testimonials from women who reversed their osteoporosis following your program?
Hi Vivian
Hope you are doing well and would like to congratulate you for the setting up of the `Save Institute`. It is a great idea and a giant leap in the efforts you have already been offering to so many people in all round the world and still trying to do more!!!
I, personally, haven`t had the Osteoporrosis exam for a very long time. It seems I have no apperant problems till now. During many years I did a lot of hiking in the mountains and I only stopped a few years ago because of a personal reason… In January 2015, after ten years of service, I was dismissed from my job,working in an official organization (government office). The reason was that during all this time I worked without a proper contract. I submitted a claim against this decision as being not fair and that the fault was the employer and not mine. The day of the trial – which it didn´t take place – because everything was already arranged and decided between the defence lawyer and the opposition party. There was only an interview between me and the them, during which the argument took place between the opposition and myself,as the lawyer didn`t say a word. Therefore, I was left alone and helpless!!! I had waited for over a year for the trial during which I felt very ill mentally and physically. I couldn`t sleep normally, waking up during early hours and not being able to gp back to sleep. Above that I started having a kind of palpitations in my stomach. Now I feel a bit better and am trying to recover my normal state of emotions and not to think, over and over, about all this period of my life. I am sure this has had a very negative consequence on my body and, probably, the results will come up sometime later. So I need to take some steps before that happens, and I would be grateful if you can advise me on this matter, also if your book `Save Our Bones` would be of a help for me,
Thank you very much Vivian, wishing you all the best with big hugs, Marlyn
I fouded your site and I red about your Programme. I want to buy your book because I believe in what you say. I am from Romania – Europe and I took OSSEOR – Strontium Ranelatum about 1 year ago and now I stoped, because …I don’t no why, exactly.
Please, what do you say about Strontium Ranelatum?
Thank you very much!
some questions do not seem to relate much to osteopenia and osteoporosis.
Seems like the questions of people slamming or questioning your program go unanswered. Why?
Hi
I have read your information carefully over the ladt few weeks. You have a lot of good information to offer but I do think that medical scence still is worth considering. I have been diagnosed with severe osteoporosis since 2000 and to date have had 8 vèrebral fractures, broken ribs, wrist, ankle (2) and fibula fractures. I have had reverse shoulder surgery abd total knee replacement in then last 2 years. When will it end is a question I often ask myself. I have just finished an 18 month course of Forteo and do not know where to go ffom here. Am now back on crutches due to a ruptured PCL onthe knee that had surgery. Is there any evidence that one can have poor muscles and ligaments as horrible bones. Have often wondered if there is any connection after 2 Rotator Cuff failures. I enjy reading your site
Regards Diane
Hi, I have pagets disease. I had reclast infusion almost a month ago and it still has not helped me. My knees and legs have so much pain in them, some days I can hardly walk.Do you think this will help me in any way?
Hi –
I have Paget’s, too, and all of these doctors are trying to convince me to take RECLAST, but so far I have refused. Whenever I read stories like this, it only makes me more adamant not to take it. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has Paget’s disease, because it seems as though there are NO other options but those miserable osteoporosis drugs! Hope to hear from some others who is suffering from this disease. Thank you!
Hi Vivian and everybody, I have steoporosis and I’m in a very healthy diet, suplementes stec. Dear Vivian I will don’t mind to buy your book but I need a bit of more information what is in there, because you don’t say much, practically nothing more than other website talking about the same thing, so I feel that it will be good for your busness and integrity of your presentation as bone saver to share more with us, because if we really feel is right everybody will buy your book, but is need it to hear more what is it in there. I’m sure you understand that. Is bit halow the presentention, with all my respects. I hope hear from you. Much love to the bone of everybody and my.
I was diagnosed with being menoposal when I was 34 back in 1995 and my doctor recommended Fosamax right away the first week I took it completely destroyed my bones because I felt like I couldn’t stand up to even go to the bathroom and my hubby had to carry me. However, I thought the medication will still help and I took it for 10 more years. Then my doctor recommended to change the medication because I have bone loss in my mouth and my dentist recommended getting off the medication. I don’t drink milk regularly but I do drink milk. If God put a food in this earth for our use I would use it as nature intended to. However, after being off the medication for almost 7 years and going to natural food altogher I completely eliminate all my health problems but I stumble into your book and I would like to see if my natural changes made any differences into my ability to eliminate more bone loss. Thanks for your research, I wish that it was available back in 1995.
I am 68 years old and was diagnosed with osteopenia at age 53. Doctor prescribed Fosamax. Between Fosamax for a number of years and then Boniva, I chose to get off. I couldn’t find any information as to how long it was safe to take these drugs. A couple of years later, my gynecologist ordered another bone density which showed that I had progressed to osteoporosis. She sent me to an endocrinologist who was concerned with my scores and prescribed Forteo. I’ve been on Forteo for a year and the most recent bone density did not show any improvement. In fact, the score on my right hip was worse. She wants me to increase my calcium intake, add Vit. K2, drink more milk and eat more yogurt. Now, I’m reading on this website that milk isn’t good for osteoporosis. Reading about Forteo is a little scary, too. Now I have no idea what I should be doing. I sure don’t want the osteoporosis to get worse. I’m a very active 68-year old. Any thoughts?
I took forteo for two years had a slight increSe in bone density came down with cancer.i blame it on the forteo.i am in good health and good shape.do not take forteo
Drink unsweetened almond mike. Blue Diamonds is the only Brand and I found that does not have the carrageenan in it which also causes cancer. Be careful you get the one.
Living in UK, I have not been able to find Boron – seems to be on the forbidden list! Any comments/help?
https://jctonic.com/include/minerals/boron.htm
Toxic effects of excess intake
Toxic effects appear at intakes of about 100 mg. The World Health Organization has banned boron (in the form of boric acid) as a food additive and preservative. Toxic effects include a red rash with weeping skin, vomiting, diarrhea characterized by a blue green color, depressed blood circulation, coma and convulsions. A fatal dose in adults is 15 to 20 g and in children 3 to 6 g. Repeated intakes of small amounts can cause accumulative toxicity.
Hello Dr.,
I fell down 13 stairs about 7 weeks ago and shattered my fibula, clean fracture of my tibia (along with dislocation of talus and very bruised and contused face with hematoma). Thank GOD I didn’t break/fracture my back or neck in this or even die! Anyway, I had an ORIF with plate + 13 screws and am 50 year old post menopausal. The Ortho Surgeon stated that my fibula wouldn’t have broken without my having Osteoporosis. My Internist stated just last year that my bone scan did NOT show Osteoporosis or Osteopenia (had been diagnosed with it about 10 years before) and took me off Boniva. Never had any issues with Boniva (or Fosomax) by the way. Now, my question is that I want to increase the bone knitting rate to heal me quicker. I also will have to go back to have all the screws, etc removed so want to prep my body for that healing process. Have increased my Calcium/Vit D3/Magnesium/Vit K2 intake. Will your program help my bones knit faster, etc, etc? I really need to go back to work ASAP. Thank you.
waiting for my Save Our Bone Program to arrive
Hi Vivian,
Almost all people in my country has a notion that drinking milk makes your bone strong. Even the doctors suggest the the same thing to the patients. The problem of after 50 is the same to all and the message of natural process of strengthing the bone has to be widely spread to all the people of this age group.
So now on I will try to develop a society of Save our bone Community in my country through email and other media. Can you support me in increasing this idea among the mass. Because, in the intial stage people would not trust me in this matter since they will believe to the doctors.
Anyway, I will put on efforts from my side to share the idea with the people of my country.

HI Vivian
I haven’t seen any info on this site that encourages me to want to subscribe. All the info in your newsletters are generally known by anyone who would research. It would help to get one or two things to do on the site, to show that you are really sincere about sharing.
Thanks
I kind of agree with what the woman said below. Not enough of your program is shared on this site–i understand you want to make money from your book, but if you really want to help women you’d put more of your special secrets on the site. What ive read on here i have read in countless other places, so it’s nothing new. Also why do you tell women to take calcium supplements? The latest research shows they increase the risk for heart disease. Much better idea to get your calcium from food.
I AGREE WITH HER… NOT ENOUGH INFORMATIONS… ALSO I’VE RECEIVED NO ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS THAT I HAD ASKED YOU. DON’T LIKE PAYING MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT I DON’T UNDERSTAND OR GET ANSWERS
TO.
Hi Vivian,
At age 48 I had 113% bone mass. I had just started menopause. I was told to come back in 10 years for another screening. I watched my calcium intake, I live a very healthy life style, am a avid excerciser with weight bearing exercises as well as cardio. I choose to ask for another screening after 5 years and had experienced at that time a 25% loss (5% a year)of bone density in my spine and much less in my hips plading them in the low normal range but none the less a loss. I increased my calcium and vitamin D intake, my exercise program etc. went back just this past week and although I have slowed the bone loss down I have not stopped it. I continued to loose 2% a year. I truly believe it can be managed natually and through diet. I truly believe that Dr’s are not giving the correct information about what nutrition you need to prevent bone loss and will live an breath by your book and report back to you in 6 months to a year my results. Which I anticipate to be truly a major break through for me as this has consummed my life at this point. I have shared my findings with many other women and will my results from this adventure.
Hi Vivian!
I also was just given a prescription for ost. & also just came across the information that u are giving,so i did not get my prescription either,very anxious to have the book too.
Thanks
Thanks!
vivian iam 75 years old and i have osteoporsis i have been on fosamax and a year ago i got my first reclast shot i do not know what my tscore is i will find out dec.30 i am suppose to have another shot then .i have your save our bones book i want to start it but i really dont know how to go about it it confuses me this 80/20 if i will do it right because i dont get another bone test for another year please help me. bea
I was diagnosed with osteoporosis about 7 years ago.,it was recomended that I start on Boniva, I refused & continued taking my calcium everyday.
I recently had another bone density test done & the Dr said that I had actually improved, Iam on the borderline of osteopenia & osteoporosis.
Hi Vivian, I am 69 years old and 2 years ago I broke my femur from a fall and my doctor diagnosed osteoporosis and put me on fosamax. I came across you website a couple of weeks ago, and have ordered your book, cant wait to get started, I have stopped taking the drugs.Will let you know how things are going. Regards Helen.
I would like to get your book but i do not use credit cards.Do you accept checks? I have osteoprosis and have joint inffusion in 3 compartments of my left knee.bone spurs joint narrowing which is loss of cartiage..thank you judy..I get your EM’s of course
I have been on Boniva for 4 years and just had another bone density test and it appears that my hip has improved, but my spine has gotten worse. They want to put me on Forteo (I am only 54 years old) and I have done a lot of research and it scares me and I am looking for another alternative than drugs. I like hearing good news that your program works.
A wonderful encouraging story. I have just begun this process. I have been told that I have osteoporosis, “severe”. I will not take the chemicals. I am eating more fruit and vegetables and following the nutrition guidelines, of course I am trying to do better as time goes on. Thank you….
(my name is Rene’e, not TRene’e)
Here’s my story. I have severe osteoarthritis and have had it for 30yrs+ getting worse with the aging process – I am now 68 – I had my throid gland removed at 24 and have been on synthroid since, Went through menopause – clear sailing – but did not take any supplements – no way – 10 yrs ago I got severe acid reflux and a hernia and was put on Previcid. Now I have been told I have osteoporosis and have been put on the co-etidrocal calcium regiment. I am leary of this whole thing but I have started. ps – I do not take previcid any longer have moved on to ranitidine. I druggest made the suggestion that the previcid stopped my body from absorbing calcium – you take on all this would be appreciated. Thanking you.
Just discovered that I have borderline osteopenia in the hips, definite osteopenia borderline for early osteoporosis in the lumbar spine. Terrified to take the drugs prescribed. I am thin and had early meno pause. I am now 53. I am shocked. Never thought with my healthy life style, so much exercise and a good diet, that this would happen to me, I should have been taking a vitamen D supplement and Calcium supplement, or even HRT. Why did I not have a discussion with the local GP about this? Why was I not made aware of the danger of getting this? Both my parents died at around 64 of cancer, so I assumed I should not take HRT.
Now I see your book Vivien, but how do I know that it is not just another way for someone to make money from the vunerable. It all sounds convincing, but how do I know I am not just been persuaded because I am scared, to buy your book? Why are you trying to make money out of this? Why not just tell everyone what to do if it is so simple? Please answer my questions if you have time as I am really very down about my diagnosis and do not want to take drugs. I also have a trapped nerve in the this lower part of the spine and the referred pain goes through to my left hip, both these areas seem to have the worse density readings. I would like to hear more people remarks before I purchase you book.
I would like to ask the same questions I have to-day just had dental work done and i am astounded of the 10% ratio of the possibility of the jaw condition that maybe caused by the medication also I have a Hyatis Hernia and worried if I take the medication I have to go back to the doctors soon now I have had the dental work done but I am so worried that my Osteopenia will get worse please help me to make a decision as I do not want to make really any life changes.
Thank you.
I also have a Hyatal Hernnia.
My physician has stopped me from taking strontiom due to a high rating on a kidney test. I have osteopenia. Of courese, he wants me to go on Fosamex. What do I do now?
I’ve ordered a copy of Save our Bones Program. It should arrive soon.
Hi Kathryn,
Check out Doctor Communication Tutorials (it’s one of the supplemental reports that came with your program). It’s full of tips on discussing these issues with your doctor.
I was surprised when my bone density scan indicated borderline osteoporosis. My doctor said I (current age 59)am at risk of a hip fracture within 20 years, so he prescribed Fosomax. After researching osteoporosis on the web, I came to realize that this drug holds onto old bone, perhaps hampering with the creation of new bone, thus making my bones potentially more brittle than they are now. Thanks for all of your free info on-line–I’m already implementing much of it. I’ll probably order your book on-line if I can’t find it in a book store.
Hi Susie,
I understand your reluctance to follow this program and I was the same at first. I was in the same situation you are and since I started on the program, I feel stronger and the pain in my left hip has decreased tremendously. I have been on the program for about 1 year now and can’t wait for my next bone density and I know it has improved.
I refused to take medication because I strongly believe in the power of good nutrition and exercises.
What is more important is a good source of supplements (organic)such as Calcium (no more than 500mg a day) and the rest comes from dietary, Vit D3, Magnesium which helps me a lot with the muscle spasmes that I had, a buffered form of Vit C.
I also do the liver detoxification because a congested liver cannot metabolize the supplements properly. Therefore, we don’t get much from them.
I also use fresh squeezed lemon juice in my drinking water to keep my PH on the alcaline side, because an acidic PH id hard on the bones.
By the way, I am a nurse and I can’t help talking to my patient the inportance of what Vivian is teaching.
I hope this helps ease your mind.
Sincerely…Lise
Hi Vivian:
In January 2010 after a fall in November 2009 I was diagnised with (Osteoporosis)with a lumbar fructure.
In the middle time I went through agony with a coktail of pain killers and no real treatment for the condition.
After the bone density results and the perscription of Fosamax. I said to myself. It’s no time to cry or be upset. It’s time to fight and find a cure. must to be one now.
I frantically went searching for a cure and
side effects of the drug. It was very frightening what I found took me a month to excepted.
I couldn’t find nothing different in my Natural Medicine studies and resheach.
Only diet and a complex of vitamins,minerals and diet, that I follow.
By the way our family diet is very healthy based in my studies. No cow’s milk, plenty vegies and fruits.
Untill few days ago I came across your web side and i willing to try it.
I think I found the anwser and a posible cure.
Your faithfully. Nancy Violet
I am in the process of ordering your book but would like to know if one of the side effects, although not mentioned is a cough. I have had a cough for almost 20 years when I used to take Didronel and then Actonel. I cannot get any help from my Doctor – they just don’t want to know!
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks.
Helen
I have been worried about a cough I have developed over the last year. I took Fosamac,Boniva<miacalcin,and actonel several years ago. I developed several side-effects the Dr. gave me pain medicine,to no avail. I finally stoped the medicines myself. I have improved a great deal,but now have a cough I can't seem to overcome with any medicine the Dr. has me try. I did,t know a cough was one of the sideffects. What is your opinion? Clara
I am in my seventies and have osteoporosis for many years. In my fifties I was put on HRT which I discontinued after two years and some time after was prescribed Fosamax by a Professor at the Hospital which I took for six years, but my bone density scans did not improve at all. I decided after reading about osteonecrosis (which frightened me to death) to discontinue Fosamax of my own volition. The
Professor disagreed with me but could not suggest an alternative! I live in London and
would very much like to know if your book is
obtainable here. Perhaps you would be kind enough to let me know.
Hi,
I am 62 have been on Fosomax,Miacalcium,Actonel.I reacted to all. The last one caused severe choking in my sleep.
I have Hypothyroid,angina and high blood pressure.For many years I was on estrogen (no hysterectomy)I just followed my Dr’s advice,he said it would make the change more comfortable( my mom managed without) . One day he asked why I was on it,because you perscribed it. His answer was to tell me they never give estrogen alone to any one who hasn’t had a hysterectomy, can’t say that now. I weaned myself off it as well as the osteo meds. I’m still on levothyroxin,0.125,Vit D Diltiazem 120 plus vitamins.
At this time the Dr’s want to give me something by intraveous that will last a year. Both my husband and I are very concerned, since I have had such terrible reactions to anything the Dr’s have perscribed.
I am interested in knowing if I will benefit from your book and will anything affect the other meds I’m on. At this point I have loss faith in the medical profession , it’s all about perscriptions.
Cheers!
Barbara
I was delighted to read about Melanie’s success in strengthening her bones after undertaking Vivian’s “Save our Bones” program.
I look forward to hearing more of these examples.
This video is very good i feel the as Melonie. Having just beinf told i have osteoporosis.Waerly awaiting delivery of Saves Our Bones book. The drugs the doctors advocate are frightening and terrible side effects too.
after 2wks of not taking Actonyl on the once a wk program, I went to pick up my prescription and the drugest gave me a generic substatute named Novo-Risedronate, say my drug plan did not cover Actonyl any more, I took one pill this morning and I am having joint pains already in my hips and knees. I am not happy about the change, and I don’t have any say in the matter. I am seventy yrs young with no problems and very active in summer sports. At this age can their be a reverse in bone density
I am told that the correct dose of magnesium & vita D will reverse Osteoporosis. IS THIS TRUE?
My wife has recently been diagnosed with ostepenia. She also has just completed a series of prednisone treatments for Temporal Arteritis.
She no longer takes the Prednisone but her Dr. wants her to start Forteo, We are anxious about the possible side effects as well as the Exorbatantly high cost of the Forteo injections.
MANY THANKS FOR YOUR INTERESTING READERS …..
Hello Vivian,
I am listening to the story and can relate to the things that happened to Melnie. I started Foxomax the fall of 1995 and took it faithfully for 9 years and then was off of medicine for 6 months and then started on Actenol but did not take it too long. Presently I am not on any medicine for the osteoporosis that I have. I was under the care of an endocrinologist and he is the doctor who started me on the Fosomax. The endocrinologist I am going to now wants me to take a medicine that I have to inject but I have indicated that I did not want to take it. I have had several compression fractures on the thoracic spine since the first time I was told of having a fracture. This whole experience has caused a lot of pain. I also have had jaw problems.
Regards, Carolyn N
I am going to the Dr.’s today with the results of my Dexa Scan and do not want to go on drugs as my Dr. will try to push on me today. Is is too late for me to go without drugs, as my T scores were all 3.6. There is no mentions ofscores over 2.5 in the info that I have read so far for your program. Please let me know what your opionion is. Thank you, Barb
It’s great to hear success stories using natural methods, however these cases seem to me to be about relatively mild cases where the patient has ostopenia or -1 etc.I imagine that in these cases bone density would be easier to reverse. In my case after I broke my hip at the age of 56, just over two years ago ( while incidentally looking after my mother who was recovering from a broken hip at the ripe old age of 93)and insisted on a scan afterwards I found out what I had already suspected. I had severe osteoporosis of -3.7, in my spine and -2.5 in my other hip. I was prescribed Actonel and have been taking it for two years.It has not improved my bone density so far, but I have been told by doctors that it takes up to 2 years to “kick in”. I,m now pretty desperate to improve my bones and was wondering if in extreme cases like mine, if natural remedies would help.
I underwent a hysterectomy @ age 38 causing surgical menopause. I tried hormone replacement, but it didn’t agree with me, so I believe that is the main reason I have osteoporosis. I am now 52. I had a knee fx in 2002, and am currently recovering from a hip fx, which I got from stumbling on a sidewalk. I have taken biophosphenates for probably close to 10 yrs. (evista, then fosamax, currently actonel). I stopped the actonel because of the fx, but do not want to do these meds anymore. I do not feel they helped. My t scores have slowly declined the whole time I have been on the meds, with the exception of the last one. I had always been active, but embarked on a big excercise regime, which I think was why the t scores improved. At the time of my fall, I was training to walk in a half marathon. I was up to 10 miles and I’m sure I could’ve finished. It was my goal just to finish, I didn’t care about my time. I’m so confused and discouraged-I don’t know what to do. I will see my osteoporosis dr in July, I’m almost certain she will recommend Forteo. I just recieved Vivian’s book and am currently reading. I already eat most of the foods listed, not too sure about the ratio thing yet, I hope it becomes clearer the more I read. I also am very into excercise. But at this stage, will the program help reverse my scores?
