RE: How to Destroy Bones

[Guest guest]

Warren, I ache to read your post. Ironically, my ingestion of vitamin A

products over a half century was not immoderate-----just the amount in daily

vitamin formulas. However, that was 15,000 IU of vitamin A in many. Now the

thinking is that just a minimal dose, only about 2,000 IU's is plenty. Can you

rebuild your skeleton with Fosomax or another product? Peg

Hello Peg ...

Yes, Fosamax is helping me now, and I have restored some

of the lost bone density. About 5 percent has returned

over the last 2 years. The max restoration possible

with Fosamax is a total of about 10 percent. Thereafter,

bone density is protected, rather than increased.

I do many other things to protect bones too with

supplements. And new treatments (such as Forteo,

a PTH Para Thyroid Hormone bone growth stimulant)

will be coming on the market more safely in the

longer term.

Thanks for asking.
