I don't know whether I was referring to any particular one, but there is a good article at www.westonaprice.org - it's under Women's Health.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Interesting about possible Lyme/Osteo connection. I missed this thread the first time around. I thought one could never increase bone density once lost. Is this another myth I fell prey to? Also, fyi, in Overdosed America, The Broken Promise of American Medicine, by Abramson, he has a chapter on Osteo- how the Medical profession sells it like an ailment when it is really a natural condition. (He explains why that is.) Also he discusses the various pharmaceuticals we are given and why they can be detremental to health. But losing bone density in one's 40's certainly sounds like a problem. ellen > >how do you know your > > bone density is increasing? have you had it tested before and after > taking > > this supplement? > > Yes, I was tested before and after with bones showing marked > improvement on dexa scan after 1 year. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hi Group, With the latest development on osteoporosis drugs showing all sort of detrimental and serious side effects like osteonecrosis. Keep in mind the effective, safe and natural treatment with strontium which has been proven to work safely for 50 years. My wife had to take prednisone for three years which is known to cause osteoporosis. However, in her case, she takes 600 mg strontium carbonate/day there is no change in bone density. Read a full, reliable article on strontium at the following web site: http://www.vrp.com/articles.aspx?utm_source=newsletter20080201 & utm_medium=email & \ utm_content=headline1854 & utm_campaign=newsletter & page=LIST & ProdID=1854 & zTYPE=2 Be sure to copy and paste the site address into the browser since it sooo long.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Hi, . I've had three different doctors who recommended strontium to me - as I have osteopenia. I've been taking regularly for a year now (prior to that was irregular). I go for my DEXA this Monday - so will be interesting to see the results. Congratulations to your wife. My mom has osteoporosis BAD. sigh. No signs of osteo at all until she rolled over in bed & her back bones snapped. The severe dowager hump developed after a very short time after the back breaks. This has been disabling & painful for her. What a lesson for me, so I watch & try hard to avoid this fate. One thing though - you are supposed to tell your DEXA technician that you've been taking strontium.... they have to change how they read the tests. So, on Monday, I will be telling them & hope that they know what they are supposed to do! Here's a reference: http://www.osteopenia3.com/Strontium-dexa-scan.html There is a Strontium dexa scan connection and if you are taking strontium, the person reading your dexa scan needs to know that so they make the appropriate adjustment in reading your dexa scan.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I hadn't heard about the double calcium,, One thing I read is that we aren't supposed to take strontium and calcium together at the same time because strontium interferes with calcium. I've been taking strontium early in the morning & wait a few hours before I begin multi dosing calcium & mag.
