The Challenge

Kathy’s journey began in March 2015 when her doctor called with unexpected news: she had osteoporosis. Although she had a spontaneous foot fracture a year prior, osteoporosis wasn’t mentioned until her bone scan confirmed the diagnosis. Her doctor recommended Fosamax and other medications, leaving the choice up to her. After researching the side effects, Kathy knew pharmaceuticals weren’t the answer for her.

Before Save Our Bones

Kathy’s lifestyle, which involved a sedentary part-time job and long commutes, contributed to her bone loss. She felt shocked and discouraged by her diagnosis but remained determined to take control of her health. With limited guidance from her doctor and no personal examples of someone improving their bone health naturally, she decided to search for alternative solutions.

After Save Our Bones

Finding Save Our Bones was a turning point for Kathy. She fully embraced the program and made significant changes to her lifestyle, including:

Diet: Switching to the diet outlined in the Save Our Bones Program.
Exercise: Practicing SaveTrainer exercises daily and walking over 10,000 steps a day, with at least 3 aerobic miles.
Strength Training: Incorporating four 30-minute strength training sessions per week.
Hydration: Drinking 96 ounces of reverse osmosis (RO) water daily.
Health Focus: Retiring to eliminate hours of daily sitting and consulting a chiropractor and board-certified nutritionist for additional support.

Kathy’s hard work paid off. Her doctor was amazed by her progress, as her bone density improved significantly. She moved from the osteoporosis range into the osteopenia range within two years, entirely through lifestyle changes and without additional supplements.

In Her Own Words

Please tell us a little bit about yourself.

Kathy Evans, age 63

Please share with us your story about when you first found out about your bone loss.

I found out about my bone loss in March of 2015 as I was riding home from my job in Chicago when my doctor called.

What was your diagnosis?

I’d had a bone scan and the diagnosis was definitely osteoporosis.

How did you react to your diagnosis?

I was shocked at the diagnosis, yet had the feeling it wasn’t going to be good news when I had the scan. One of the questions asked was about any spontaneous fractures, and I had one a year before. The foot doctor I went to didn’t say anything about the possibility of osteoporosis. When my internist doctor told me of the diagnosis, he wanted to prescribe Fosamax, after giving me a list of others he didn’t think were as good. He said it was my choice, and he’d be happy to help if I would like it. If not, I could come back in 2 years to be retested with another bone scan.

Reading about the side effects and knowing I didn’t want to take Fosamax made the decision to not call him back easy.

How did Save Our Bones help you? Please be as specific as possible.

I went online and got onto The Save Institute website. Vivian’s research, knowledge, and approach was very appealing. I signed on, buying the Program.

I switched to Vivian’s alkaline diet plan and did the exercises daily, as well as walking more than my 2-3 miles a week. I retired from my part time job a few months later as I was sitting all day, and sitting on the train for over 2 hours round trip. I wanted my bone health to improve that bad. It was also time to retire. The support from the emails, the recipes, the additional exercises via email all were immensely encouraging. Fact based research made such a difference, and I didn’t want to take pharmaceuticals. Thank you Vivian so much!! I felt if you could get your bone health back (and many others) I could. I didn’t know anyone personally who had done it, but that didn’t matter, your support was enough!

What did your doctor have to say about your results?

My current doctor is very pleased with my progress, and wants to see my T score improve even more. When I was first tested by him, my DEXA scan was in the osteopenia range. So I got out of osteoporosis & into the osteopenia range without any additional supplements totally doing your program.

Do you have any words of encouragement for Savers?

Thank you Vivian, and to all who work with you to get the truth out there. We are not victims, we need to be participants in our adventures in health, and you have done so much to help us realize this truth. Unfortunately there is so much press and support for pharmaceuticals, that not enough people know the truth. Thank you for being a fact based voice of truth out there! To others who have received the discouraging reports about their bone health, please listen to The Saver’s Institute! You can have healthy bones. It takes not following “the herd” or eating the SAD (standard American diet) but eating the alkaline diet, drinking more high quality water, sleeping more and exercising more, but the benefits are incredible. I wake up happier, feel like moving more, and have more life in my years!
