Medications - Osteoporosis Message Board

Looly · 04-09-2007, 09:13 PM

I just was told I need an RX for bone loss. After researching what's out there I am coming up with the idea that these medications are worse than the problem. I suffer from digestion problems and the meds, so I've read, make these problems worse, in addition to a long list of side effects that I don't desire to have. I am usually drug sensitive and can't take many. So what do I do? Has anyone found something that is natural and could do the same as these awful drugs? I refuse to take Fosamax, Evista, Actonel and Boniva. What's a woman to do?

Read The Myth of Osteoporosis. Also, Ezorb is a very effective way to go and no toxic side effects. You might want to do some research on this board as well.

Hi lolasmom, reading the Myth of Ostooporosis[I] will give you lots of good info and will also help put things into perspective. I found it to be very helpful After taking actenol for a couple of months and decided it wasn't the road i wanted to take. I am now taking strontium, a natural supplement, that has shown good results without the side effects fo the other drugs available. There are several threads about it on the board or you could do a search. Weight bearing exercises will also help. take care...phyllis

I have taken many different drugs for osteo, and none of them did much good to my bones. Now, I have been taking Forteo for almost 2 years. It has helped according to my bone test. Actually it shows I am now in the early stages of osteo )I can't remember the name of the condition). I need to see a rheumatoid doctor to see where to go from here. Has anyone gone through the drugs available and then the two years of daily shots? I also suffer from fibromyalgia which causes such terrible pain and confusion. I'd love to hear what some of you might have to say about what they do now that all the routine has been explored for osteoporosis.

Ballady3,

You indicate that Ezorb is an effective alternative to any of the drugs. Can you quote or link me to any of the studies that show Ezorb actually increases bone density. The marketing from the company is one thing, but actual scientific evidence from studies is what I'd like to see in order to see if the claims made by the manufacturer of Ezorb had correct. The Ezorb website has not studies supporting their claims. Thanks.
