Decisions, decisions, decisions! Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you didn’t have to make them? The answer is no.
You should welcome being in control of your decisions because nobody is more qualified to make bone health decisions for yourself than you.
But because you may not be sure of yourself, you might become stressed and anxious.
So today, I want to give you the five main reasons why you are more than qualified to make your own osteoporosis choices – regardless of what anyone else tells you…
Because you are a truth-seeker
Nothing can stop you from finding the truth. The mere fact that you are on this website proves it.
You want to discover the truth about your osteoporosis diagnosis, about the drugs you were prescribed, and everything else you need to know, so you can make an educated decision. While others blindly accept what they’ve been given and told, you are willing to go the extra mile.
This isn’t to say that you will actively disobey what your doctor tells you, but rather you would like to discuss your findings with him or her in an open and pleasant dialogue. As George Lundberg, M.D., executive vice-president and editor-in-chief of Medicalogic/Medscape states in an interview, “physicians need to welcome the idea of patients being interested in their own health.” Amen, George!
Because you question everything
You want detailed, common-sense information and you won’t settle for the proverbial “because I say so.”
You want to get to the bottom of things. But did you know that unlike you, most doctors don’t research the latest health information?
The US Department of Health and Human Services reports that “once a new piece of scientific evidence emerges as a medical advance, it takes up to 17 years before doctors routinely incorporate that information into how they practice medicine” (Comparative Effectiveness Research: What It Means for You, Carolyn M. Clancy, M.D, April 7, 2009).
In light of this, it surely does not look like a good idea to rely on your doctor for the latest information on any health topic, let alone osteoporosis.
Because only you know what your “normal” feels like
You know yourself better than anyone else, so you know when you’re just not feeling right. I receive many emails from readers about how doctors denied the side-effects they suffered while taking osteoporosis drugs, and flatly transferred the blame to another unrelated condition.
For example, many in our community wrote that when they complained of acid reflux while taking bisphosphonates (a common side-effect of those drugs), the doctor would blame it on stress, and handed out yet another prescription for an anxiety drug. More often than not, stories like these don’t have a happy ending… As the saying goes, “practice makes perfect”, and you have been practicing at being “you” since the day you were born.
Because you did not study Medicine
You see, Medical students immerse themselves in a wide array of complicated subjects, and they also need to memorize information on thousands of prescription drugs. The Physician’s Desk Reference has information on over 4,000 drugs, and the number keeps growing every year. Clearly, doctors are exposed to an overwhelming amount of data.
So it is not surprising that Dr. Barbara Starfield of the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health writes that there are about 250,000 iatrogenic deaths (physician-caused deaths) per year in the USA. Plus there are 12,000 unnecessary surgeries, 7,000 medication errors in hospitals, 20,000 “other errors” in hospitals, 80,000 infections acquired in hospitals, and 106,000 “non-error, negative effects of drugs.”
Alarmingly, medical-induced deaths are the third leading cause of death in the USA, after heart disease and cancer (B. Starfield, M.D., Journal of the American Medical Association, Is US health really the best in the world? July 2000).
Fortunately, you have an edge over any doctor because you only have to focus on your own health issues. If you've gone through the Osteoporosis Reversal Program and read the articles on this website, you most likely are already more of an expert on the truth about osteoporosis than your own doctor is!
Because you are self-sufficient
You know that your body is designed for health and not for disease, so you trust its ability to heal itself. Even a single microscopic cell in your body has more chemical processes going on than all the chemical factories in the world combined. Now multiply that by about 75 trillion, which is the approximate number of cells in your body, and you’ve got yourself an industrial complex the likes of which you’ll never see on our planet.
Indeed, osteoporosis prescriptions drugs are no match to what your osteoblasts and osteoclasts can do.
And let’s not forget that Nature also gives you a helping hand to improve your bone health. For example, there are approximately 8,000 bone-healthy plant polyphenols that can help increase the production of osteoblasts (Garie G. Duthie et al. Plant Polyphenols: are they the new magic bullet? Proceedings of the Nutrition Society, 2003).
These powerful antioxidants are found in every day fruits like apples, cherries, cantaloupe, pears and grapes.
Conclusion
Now that you know that you are your best bone health decision-maker, it will help you achieve peace of mind. And then, a beautiful thing happens: along with the peace of mind comes less stress, better decisions, and better overall bone health. As I mentioned before, this website is testimony to your willingness to take responsibility for your bone health and to the power in your decisions – I'm glad you made it here.
At 68 years of age I had my first bone density test. It showed moderate bone density loss in vertebra L1 and very slight bone density loss in left hope. I had already searched out the Save Our Bones program and begun the exercises. I’m very active physically, walk, bicycle, do some weight training. When we talked about the results of my bone density test I showed my doctor the program and the orthopedic doctor’s endorsement in the material I had. He was familiar with the doctor and was more than willing for me to deal with what he called “a very slight bone density loss” with exercise and diet. I will have another bone density test in two years. I’m am doing the desercises three times a week and improving my diet gradually. And being faithful with calcium supplements. I like your program and will continue to work with it. Thanks for your research!
Sorry, I am NOT going to click the “like” button because I do not like Facebook, I find it more than a bit intrusive.
Your article makes sense on the whole. I too have gotten bad advice from more than one doctor who has not kept up with the latest findings, and I have no idea whether I really do have osteoporosis, or if it were only in my doctor’s mind.
I wish the only interaction with the medical community was osteoporosis, but I am looking at Stage IV colorectal cancer, and that has been really complicated. After two months of healing from surgery, I face chemotherapy in a week, and all they say about side effects, etc., is first we try it (6-hour infusion) and see how you react, and then we’ll deal with that.
So why is this blog controversial??? I now realize how great my doctor must be, as I’ve researched and questioned for years, and he encourages me. One comment, and off the Fosamax! One question about K2 and strontium (backed by copies of the research and source) and he sent me to the carefully picked specialist who agreed to let me try them instead, encouraging me after carefully testing me. When he heard that, my doctor did a fist bump with the universe, accompanied by a shouted “YES!!!” Apparently I’ve been really lucky with my doctors. Keep looking. There are some out there! (This one is not young, either.)
I appreciate your comments about having an open minded doctor. Mine is more traditional and recommends the known drug, but adds, “of course it’s your choice if you decide not to take it”. I do have a local pharmacist who is a Woman’s Health Specialist and by appt provides a consultation. She is also open to natural health options, but in my case really thought I should be on Forteo. I have received very beneficial input to my health issues otherwise and am grateful.
I have only been using the program for a couple of months, and for me the vegetables are enjoyable. I wonder about the fructose in too much fruit. I am thankful to have found this program and the forum of discussion it provides both pro and con. I take medication for GERD (faulty valve), but have extended time between pills to 36 hours and am working on getting off it altogether if possible.
I wish Vivian and staff and all the members of the program a very Happy New Year, better bone health, and inner peace, hope and joy in every circumstance.
I also wanted to ask Nancy about Strontium as that has been recommended for me (I take K2). If you do use it what feedback do you have about it?
A wonderful story, thank you. It had me thinking about a ‘spur heel’ that is presently annoying me. I avoid walking on hard surfaces, if at all possible, because the spur heel pain flares up, making me rest more than I would like. Feet are made for walkin’! Is there any information in your program that can overcome the spur heel? Thank you, once again!
I agree with everything stated in this article.
Thanks for all your good articles. I already felt the same as you about taking control of my own bone health issues; just don’t trust any of the meds the “medical doctors” are putting out there for us.
have been doing your exercises thank you.

The year we went on Safari to Kenya and Tanzania we rode 6 hours a day in little vans on very BUMPY roads. The up and down force on my spine increased my bone density. When I saw your heel lift exercise it was the same thing. I like to hold onto my windowsill and look out side while doing these. or at the kitchen sink. Thanks for the geat information to help make us stronger.
Does anyone take bio-identical hormones. I was told to get on progesterone,
testertone and vivelle (estradiol) I was told this would help balance me out and help me to absorb calcium, and that it would help lubricate my joints as well. I am not sure about any hormone, even bio-identical. Comments please.
Miss Bones: You are smart,thank you for passing it along.I like information. I am a 77 year old single male/live alone,I choose that. I am not retired because I choose that also.I’m a licensed/certified pilot/flight instructor/mechanic aircraft and cars teacher of the above.I have doned this for over 50 years.I like my life and professions I will never quit.I live on a 95 acre airport called Cagney Airport,Clio,Michigan.Also I am the best trial lawyer I know,I had to get into law because of dumb attorneys. tom
You always send me very good articles to read. I am very happy to read and is very informative.
This is a question rather than a comment. I read your article re the importance of alkaline foods to help your bones .Was just wondering if organic apple cider vinegar is alkaline? i like to add it to my diet because of its wonderful mineral content and digestive qualities.
ve shared your information with my son……very helpful to say also with me…Thank you…Vivian
Hi Vivian,
Thank you for all the continual information you are sending.I am learning so much in what you are saying.
It is so encouraging to know that our bodies are the real healers of it’s own problems.And you Vivian giving your time to make us /me aware of the right path in helping our bodies to do that.
I have read the article and I DO agree with you completely … As I always eat healthy food ,, I cook with olive oil and I go for a walk 3 times a week ,,, in addition to my daily activities ,,, I have stopped taking almost all the medications that the doctor prescribed to me after reading and searching the web and joining this site ,, I take only Vitamin B complex, B6 and Caltrate 600 with vitamin D in addition to vitamin C ,,, I am now much better ,, in fact I – not only feel psychologically better but physiologically as well ,, finding out the terrible side effect of all those drugs scared me ,, I would like to than Dr. Vivian for the good work she is contributing to us ,,,
May the Almighty Allah grant you health & happiness dear Dr. Vivian
About 18 months ago I had my second bone scan. Soon after my doctor said “Well, it looks like Evista isn’t working, I think we’d better put you on Fosamax.” I told her I didn’t want to take that drug. I think I had already heard some bad reports about it. She wrote the prescription for me in case I would change my mind. I didn’t! Instead, I try my best to eat the right balance of acidifying/alkalizing foods, almond milk, distilled water etc. Aside from a few problems that come with living a long time (84), I feel good. I never noticed any side effects while on Evista. Did opthers have bad effects from that med? In about six months, I’ll have my 3rd bone scan. I expect to send a good report.
Shirley, I am having the same experience. Having read about the dubiety of Fosamax, I discontinued its intake in 2011. My doctor only questioned my decision, said that it was only based on attorneys’ lawsuit pursuits, and gave no alternative. I am wavering in the wind hoping Vitamin C takes up the slack until my next bone scan of which I do not welcome, and question, the radiation.
I have known for many years that western medicine got way too far in the wrong direction and that is why that I, for the past over 30 years don´t rely on doctors to keep healthy. I will be 65 this year and don´t have any major health problems thanks to my decission from many years ago when I myself became responsible for my own health, be it physical or mental.
It is wonderful to learn that drugs are not the best way to produce strong bones. Thank you for your website and your information. My doctor tried to have me start Fosimax but my sister had already suffered bone loss and tooth loss after taking it.
great work.at 82 i don’t have those problems.i try to eat very care full.
no cows milk,no soy.i use macademia oil for cooking, grass fed meat plus i use filtered water, & i do pace exercise.these are some of my attack dogs
moringa,nattakinais.seanol.resveratrol & lot of sea weeds’i feel like 40 yrs old.ever part oe my body is active.
This is wonderful information!!!! My friend has this issue and I have sent her(Suzy) your email. Thank you!

I was diganosed with “advanced osteoporosis for my age” in September 2010. I am 71, and had my first bone scan in Sept. 2010, when I was shocked to hear I had osteoporosis. I never thought I would have it, but one doctor said it’s because I’m white and thin. At that time, I found out I had fractured two vertebrae, the pain causing me to have the bone scan in the first place. I am trying natural methods to overcome the problem, but I also fractured a 3rd vetebra in April 2011. I just saw an orthopedic surgeon who said he thinks I should go on one of the many drugs for osteoporosis. I am not now nor have I ever been a fan of man-made drugs. I left his office feeling hopeless. I take calcium, vitamin D, essential fatty acids, vitamin K2, a multi-vitamin, and other supplements. I am also mostly vegan, though I eat eggs and I eat fish once in a while. Am I doomed for more spinal fractures – or worse?
thank you ,great encouragement..Ita.
Can I comment about taking Calcium suppliments here? as I forgot to leave a comment when I read your article about Calcium.
It is alarming that a high % of the general public don’t realise that taking Calcium suppliment is not ideal and what the negative effects can be.
Often trying to do a research on this, can often be difficult, as the materials available can be somewhat contradictory, thus confusing…however, what I have been reading about your various articles..they all make alot of sense.
Most important of all, it is all base on natural products and not on “chemically” made medication.
My brother in law told me I should take calcium suppliments…I took it for quite some months…I wonder if this is one of the factors that also led to a build up of my having kidney stones!!
Last but not least, I don’t believe in taking medications when one is able to find a natural alternative!!! the health care team here was “desperate” to put me on medication with ref. to my high blood pressure.
How is it that they don’t understand that they are trying to treat the symptom and not the cause? In doing so, they only create a vicious cycle, where the patient will feel that they have no control over their own situation…= the patient will get even more hyper. I mananged to bring my blood pressure down…without medication!!
Thank you Vivien
Vivian, I am concerned because this week I ordered the SAVE OUR
BONES programme and was promised sheets that were to come directly to my e-mail address and the book in a few days….I paid by credit card, yet I received NO CONFIRMATION that my order had beeb received nor have I received any sheets by e-mail.
I am an old age pensioner and cannot afford to throw away 75 dollars plus. What’s going on?????? Yours truly, Pat Martin
WHAT U HAVE WRITTEN IS TRUE. CAN U PLEASE BE MORE SPECIFIC WHAT TO DO OR EAT TO PREVENT FURTHER PAIN? EATING CHERRIES, STRAWBERIES AND NUTS (WHAT TYPE) HELPS. IF I AM A DIABECTIC, I CAN’T TAKE TOO MUCH CHERIES OR STRAWBERRIES AS THEY R VERY SWEET. SO WHAT CAN I TAKE? PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU.
I need help in purchasing the required supplements. I’ve been to Srouts four times. Isn’t there a multi supplement? I can not find everything needed per the book without purchasing individually, as I do not enjoy taking pills I’m hoping you’ll have a suggestion.
Thank you
Thank you Ms. Goldsmith for the information you’ve been sending via email on bone health & the risks of taking biphosphonates. I am a dialysis patient and was also recently diagnosed to have osteoporosis on my hip. I would rather strengthen my bones through diet than by taking Fosavance the medicine prescribed by my doctors. I live in the Philippines and I’ve been looking at the fruits & vegetables you suggest to improve bone health & most are found locallly. However, I am also disabled (unable to walk w/o help) butI can do exercises sitting or as long I have support. I would thus, appreciate it if you could send me videos of such exercises.
I purchased the program, and will have “the conversation” with my dr. tomorrow. He prescribed fosamax for me, but I have not taken it. After reading the books and articles, I feel well-informed and prepared to make my case to follow “save our bones.” I also appreciate how customer service always responds with thorough answers to questions when I e-mail them. Thank you, thank you. I am going to buy a book for each of my young adult daughters. I wish I had this information 10 or 15 years ago…..but it’s time to look forward, not back. Is one year on the program enough to see results on a scan?
Obviously you hit a nerve that needed to be hit and thus the many positive responses. Sadly many won’t get your information as they do not seek, just run to the doctor for help and accept anything the doctor or pharmacists says. ‘You are responsible for your own life’ does not seem to play with too many.
Thank you for your wonderful work and sharing of your knowledge.
Videos are fine for the illiterates, but most of us readers can assimilate the content faster by reading. Please give us readers the chance to read a transcript, rather than have our valuable time taken up by having to listen to waffle.
If you are referring to the RESTORE video, sir, there is a transcript (as there is for most of Vivian’s videos). Just click where it says “Click to Download the Restore Video Transcript” directly below the video.
i like your articlesthey are informative and easy to understand easy to implement into your every day activities
I agree with you about doctors. Some of them have a real ego problem, and think they are God. Others, like you say, are basically uninformed about natural methods of healing, or they pooh-pooh the whole idea. I am fortunate in that I have a doctor who also believes in holistic healing and regularly dispenses or suggests nutritional substitutes for the commonly used drugs that are dispensed by his colleagues. I was surprised to learn from your commentary that drugs are the third leading cause of death. At last count, they were considered the fourth leading cause. It’s really scary, isn’t it? Because a lot of people wouldn’t think of defying their doctors. Well, I ain’t one of them, and I’m still here. I guess that says something, doesn’t it? Yay, Vivian! Keep up the good work! We love you and so do our bones.
Vivian: Am s-o-o happy with your “Blog”, and other comments, that my Osteoporosis is ‘not a disease, but can be turned around by Diet. Such a relief!!
THANK YOU for being a “Truth – Seeker”!
Velma Sturm
I certainly agree with you,Vivian. When I had my last physical my doctor indicated that I was foolish told me I would not be able to do anything for my bones with diet.
Thank you for the reassurance, Vivian. It does helps and I confess that I’ve reached the conclusion that the worry over side effects of bisphosphonates is undesirable, especially as I spent the first 6 months of this year undergoing treatment for breast cancer. I’ve stepped up exercises and tweaked my diet, however, I’m still hesitating over stopping taking alendronic acid. This morning, for the first time, I didn’t take the weekly tablet. Will this cause anxiety? We shall see. Meanwhile, I plan to tackle the doctor as to why diet and exercise were’nt discussed after the osteopenia was diagnosed following the DEXA scan.
Hello Bee Thank You so much for your comments. I, too, spent the first 6 mts doing chemo, radiation, for breast cancer. (After healing from a mastectomy in Sept. 2010. This was my 2nd time to go through it in the last 5 years.
You did not mention your age. I am 65. I’ve been very active all my life. I’m still a physical person. But I have a crushed vertabrae (T-7) 35%. I can’t do much now. I’m a swimmer, dancer, horseback rider,,,,,,etc.
I’ve worked hard most of my life. I was looking forward to an active retirement. This is rough. OK, But I have friends that had cancer when I was first diagnosed who have already passed away. I am Grateful!
Even so, the arimidex, aromasin, steroids, (taken to prevent inflamation, nausea) from the chemo drugs, actually cause our bones to dry out, get brittle and crack. Typical side effects of these drugs are “joint pain, bone fractures”, etc. Even worse, while on chemo it’s hard to eat much of anything, the effort is to keep something down that resembles food. We are in a more delicate situation than most (who are just fighting osteoporosis).
God help us in the decisions we make. We were poked, infused, flooded with the nastiest drugs on earth, brunt to a crisp on a cold table, only to survive with these dried out crunchy bones, that like potato chips, can be crushed or cracked without us even being aware.
I love to cook, and I am very interested in nutrition. When I’m feeling good I hunger for healthy foods and get the urge to do fun stuff like hike, or take a friend out. Life is short and every minute counts. Bee, I hope I have helped or inspired you in some way. take care and I will too.
I to I totally agree with you about our responsibility in taking care of our precious bodies. But what does one do when the choices are taken out of our grasp. I was recentaly diagonosed with hyper-thyroid an auto immune decease, and now all the good vegetables and food like kayl, cauliflower, broccoli to name a few are forbitten to me because they all have iodine as does any milk product, and fish and all sea food. I am between a rock and a hard place. This has become like a ball and chain. Anyway, Blessings and have a woner day.
I totally agree with you about our responsibility in taking care of our precious bodies. We need to be in touch with our bodies so we know when something is wrong. The difficult part is getting your doctor to believe you and follow through with what you have to say about your own health. I believe you and your doctor should be partners in the caring for your health. Most doctors do not have the time, patience or what other excuse they have in not listening to their patients. My doctor was out right offended when he told me to take the Osteoporosis drugs and I told him I would not take them, but would rather find another way to strengthen my bones. I do read your e-mails often and get a lot out of them. However, after paying for your information, I do feel a bit “used” when you tell me that I have to pay again just to get the densercise directions. Sorry, but that is how I feel.
Thank you again Vivian. I do always question any medication that is offered to me. The reason for this is my now lack of confidence in doctors due to bad experiences. My hearing in my right ear had been deteriorating for a very long time and was becoming worse. Spoke to my doctor who said he could send me for a hearing test but it was a two year waiting list!
At that time I did not have any other option so agreed to this. I could feel there was a problem in this ear which was growing worse and worse so rang the hospital to ask if this appointment could be brought forward, luckily after telling them I would soon be deaf in that ear they finally hurried my appointment through. The hospital arranged for me to see an ENT consultant who arranged for an MRI scan. This showed that I had an Acoustic Neuroma which is a tumour that had developed on the 6th 7th and 8th vestibular nerves and was now butted up to my brainstem, so listen to your body not the doctors!
Everything you are saying makes so much sense.
And, even though you have been telling like it is… there seems to be a lot of news lately about how many deaths are caused by prescriptions; and talk of finally making drug companies, doctors accountable for “over prescribing.” I’m following your plan, and helping my 84 year old sister to do the same.
Thank you!
I stopped taking Boniva last May following all the scary stories about sudden thigh bone breaks. Now I’m following your program and trying to eat a more-alkaline diet. (For years, I have spent one or two hours each day with weight training, Pilates, tai chi and brisk walking — so I’m pretty strong).
When I told my doctor of my decision, he pointed out that only a small percentage of bisphosimate-takers had experienced broken bones, and said they usually recommended the drugs for five years. (I had taken Boniva for 2-1/2 years). Was originally told that they would be taken for life — and now understand that a drug holiday is recommended after three years. So yes, I apparently am more “up” on the latest findings.
excellent article and I totally agree
I think that over the years we all were trusted to believe what ever we were told by doctors. Not realizing at that time the trillion dollar drug market we were about to be entering. Since my battle with the side effects of actonel,fosamax (generic)from broken teeth to eye problems, we have found that through natural and herbal remedy’s we could achieve our solution. Since the start of my side effects what we have found to help dramatically with the pain in the hands and fingers and joints is Devils claw creme used 2xs a day along with taking hylauronic acid also 2xs a day. After about 2 weeks we had noticed a dramatic relief in the joint and hand pain. We are also going to a rhumotolgist for a consultation and his findings also. What we have learned since having developed these problems is that as much as these drugs are to be building bone they at the same time are making bone more brittle being like a double edged sword. Hopefully some young women who are being told of these drugs think twice and seek a herbal and natural way to remedy the situation of aging. One other very important factor which very few if any even speak about is “resistance” exercise. This is as important as the medication to keep bone strong and healthy.
Hello Vivian, I have not been in the loop lately because I have a lot to do. I was wondering if anyone can explain PTH to me
My mother has an elevated PTH of 74H . I know that is high but her calcium is normal. Her rheumatologist has not responded to her primary care doctor. I did take her to a medical nutritionist and she put her on liquid vitamin D an K which is made by Douglass Labs. The other supplements are thyroid related and do not seem to be disagreeing with her. We will meet with her again this week. Thank you Irene
I always research any drug or supplement recommended, and when I have felt it was contraindicated, explained why to my doctor and the doctor has agreed with me. Doctors follow the “general best for the normal” population, and I agree that none of us are the “average”.
We are all unique and must know, listen to, and follow what our bodies tell us.
My body has always like an alkaline diet, exercise and lots of organic fruits and veggies. My osteoporosis is in only one hip, I therefore wonder if I have been favoring that side for years since breaking both bones in that lower leg. I am therefore concentrating on using that foot and leg more forcefully when walking and exercising. Only time will tell if the bone regenerates, but I think it will.
I was prescribed 1500 mg of calcium a day. I consume 3 chewables throughout the day. However, having read Save Our Bones, I understand that only 50% of that is actually absorbed. Then I get algae based calcium tablets of which 3 are also consumed throughout the day. But, the algae based calcium is not a chewable and only has 770 mg per three tablets. Am I to assume that the algae based pill is completely absorbed, giving me 770 mg a day? And since the chewable gives me 750 mg of actual absorbed calcium a day, did the doctor prescribed 1500 mg knowing that I would only get 1/2 of it, or am I supposed to double up on either of these choices? (Algae based is more expensive.) Also, what do you think of Advacal? I appreciate any comments or advice. Thanks!
Hi Terri, Please read my free Ultimate Calcium Guide for info about why the amount of calcium you take is not nearly as important as the type of calcium (and lots more about calcium). You can get it here: https://saveourbones.com/the-ultimate-calcium-guide/
vivian; I read all you send find it interesting and knowledgeable thanh you tony
Vivian,
I am so glad you are offering an alternative to the drugs Doctors are offering today. I had a difficult discussion with my Doctor and she said I had to take a course of treatment of some kind, all with medicines like bio phosphates and other hormone based drugs. I did not say NO but I did not tell her when or if I was going to take her prescription.
She told me to think about it.
I have seen ads recently on television about class action law suits for people who have taken these drugs because one of the side effects from these drugs is that they that actually lead to fractures. I refuse to take these chemicals and I have changed my diet and supplementation to work on my bone density. The sad thing is that most doctors don’t know anything about nutrition and go straight for the medications. My doctor said she read in a Journal that the studies supporting these drugs showed so much benefit from them, but no one ever tells you what they actually do to your bones by creating weaker bone in the long run.
Keep up your good work of informing people about good nutrition for better bones.
thank you,Ita
Good Job.
