Re: Would like some feedback

[Guest guest]

Darlene,

It's interesting, but I have nothing to say about it, really. I am

allergic to soy products (the proteins, in particular) and will never

use them, so it doesn't apply to me at all. I do take my calcium citrate

with magnesium, vitamin D, and boron, participate in daily

weight-bearing exercise, and as far as I can see, that's all I can do.

DEXA-scans so far say that I'm doing it right, for me. :-)

By the way, this guy isn't SELLING isoflavones, is he? That always makes

me suspicious. Not to mention that I've read elsewhere that isoflavones

can increase the growth of estrogen-sensitive cancers. I don't think

there's a magic bullet anywhere that can prevent osteoporosis without

some side effect. But it's worth it to keep looking.

Would like some feedback

I don't want to start a revolution with this, but I posted a copy of

this article to the protein list and asked for thoughts from those

members.

Needless to say, not one person has responded.

This article is very informative and I was hoping to get some comments.

The article is on Overcoming Low Bone Mass and it can be found at this

website... http://www.journaloflongevity.com/JOLWeb/96/bonemass.html

Thanks in advance

Not news to me- I found out about boron and soy from some very, very

smart people about a year ago (thanks Sue and ) and my calc.

supplements have 'em both in there! And I choose to continue with

hormone replacement- don't like the symptoms without it. I weighed

the pros and cons and decided to stick with HRT. I do weight

training (well, I will again as soon as I get rid of the Charcot

foot, I hope), I supplement my calc. with all the good stuff and I

have dexa scans yearly and try to keep abreast of the information

concerning bones and bone loss.

Is this the type of comments that you were looking for?

Well, I started taking soy about a 1 1/2 years ago when I started

getting major hot flashes. It stopped them cold within a couple of

weeks. My OB/GYN wanted me to take black cohosh, so I stopped the

soy and gave it a try...can you say dripping sweats? So, dropped

that & back on the soy...back to normal. I dump the soy capsule into

my AM protein shake along with my capsules of citrate/boron/mag/D,

and have done that for a year.

My results? Well, last year's dexa showed mild osteopenia, next one

is in June, so we'll see. But, my teeth are the healthiest they've

ever been. In fact, due to gum disease, I had been losing bone for

quite some time. I had lots of pockets that were 5's (you know, when

they measure depth). Well, as of my cleaning last week, I have NO

5's anymore...in fact, nothing higher than a 3. Now, I have been

very good about flossing, too, so who knows why, but I sure am happy

about it.

I don't know if there's any correlation with what's written in the

article, but that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.
