: i heard there is a new treatment for osteoperosis,could someone tell me what it is and where in can find some info on it?Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Steve:
My mom is suffering from osteoporosis and have several fractures in her L1, L2, L3, and L4.
The only new treatment is a drug called Raloxophine which starts showing its effect after one year.
Ther is a surgical prodedure that eleminates pain and it is called "Kyphoplasty". It is being prformed in hospitals and clinics all arround USA.
And not available in Canada!!!!!!!?????????? :(
These sites might be of interest to you:
www.kyphon.com / intelihealth.com
and you can search about kyphoplasty in your favorit search engin such as Altavista or Metacrawler. Just type kyphoplasty and you will be amazed.
I stopped all of mom's medication, with her doctor consent, and giving her a daily dose of 1500 mlg. of Calcium, 600 IU of vitamin D, and 600 mlg. of Ipriflavone. this is the fastest way to gain 1% - 2% more bone mass within 6 months. please consult with your doctor before you do any thing.
To your health
