The best thing to do for osteoporosis is eat dark green veggies, like spinach and broccoli, yogurt, acidophilus milk, which tastes like "normal" milk, a moderate amount of meat, and good exercise. Progesterone cream, rubbed into the skin twice a day, has been proven to increase bone density and carries no risks. I like the Emerita brand. Natural progesterone doesn't have the side effects that synthetic progestin does, which is real progesterone that the drug companies changed molecularly so they could patent it and make big money on it, which they can't do with a natural product. Start slow on the cream to minimize the breast tenderness and, if you still have a uterus, some cramping, like one would have before a period. These minor problems only happen when you first begin using it. I've been using it for years and have great results. Dr. John Lee says progesterone cream is the only known product that will help your body build real, living bone.
Fosamax and it's sister drugs do not build living bone. It is a poison acid in the same class as soap scum remover. It kills the osteoclasts that normally scrub away old, dead bone cells to make way for the osteoblasts to follow and fill in with new, living bone cells. So, Fosamax allows the dead bone to build up instead of being removed. That looks great on a scan, but after several years, this bone is very weak because it is layer upon layer of dead stuff.
My aunt began taking Fosamax 2 years ago. The first problems she noticed were that she was gagging on her food, food no longer tasted good. She had stomach and abdominal pain. Her eyes began deteriorating and her joints began hurting so she could barely write anymore and getting up in the morning became difficult. Then she began falling down with these seizure-like episodes that left her temporarily disoriented. That's when I began researching the drug.
Since then, a dear friend of mine in Seattle began falling down with these seizures and her joints hurt so badly she was walking with a cane and she had all the other problems my aunt had, too. I asked her if she were taking Fosamax. She said "Yes!" She quit and I'm happy to say, the seizures quit and her joints feel better. She no longer needs the cane. She is so happy I told her to get off it. Since then, my sisters and I have discovered 8 people that all had these same symptoms and were all on Fosamax. The ones who quit stopped having the problems.
Unfortunately, my aunt quit for a short time, but her daughter said she had to take it because she had to follow her doctor's orders. The doctor says that if the seizures were caused by Fosamax the FDA would have warned people that it was a possible side effect. But like her, most doctors have not connected the symptoms with the drug. They refuse to believe that Merck, who also marketed Vioxx without enough testing, could put Fosamax on the market without enough testing. But they are making billions on these very expensive products, and wouldn't admit anything unless forced to. They wouldn't have withdrawn Vioxx if they hadn't seen the handwriting on the wall. Two scientists in Berne, Switzerland did a test on Vioxx and discovered the link between it and death by stroke and heart attack. It is estimated that between 27 and 29 thousand people died from it just here in the US, and perhaps 100,000 wordwide.
Please don't use Fosamax or anything related to it! Lindajo
