Alternatives to traditional osteoporosis medication

I have chosen not to go the route my doctor wants me to by not taking monthly injections. There are so many side effects! Does anyone have a success story on bringing bone density up using natural methods?

When I asked my endocrinologist if there natural methods to reverse my bone loss his only advice was calcium, vitamin D, walk, and use light weights. I’ve been doing all those things for years so obviously that’s not the answer. He also said that my bones were “horrible” and he pushed meds. I took them because I felt like I had no other choice. I was on alendronate for 1.5 yrs, which I quit do to digestive tract issues, and I had 1 zoledronic acid infusion in November 2021. My endocrinologist is expecting me to have another infusion this November but I’m leaning towards not.

Unfortunately, I didn’t start researching osteoporosis until after I’d taken meds, but what I found in my research is that it is possible to reverse your bone loss naturally, but there is no guarantee natural methods will work for everyone.

Go to BetterBones.com and on the website search for Cindi’s story. I believe she was in her early 60s and she managed to naturally reverse her bone loss. Also, look up Australia’s LIFTMOR study—women in their 70s improved their bones by lifting weights. Search for MelioGuide Marodyne LIV—the research behind the Marodyne low intensity vibration platform was funded by NASA. Look up osteoporosis prune study. Visit OsteoStrong.me and see if the have a facility in your area—if there were an OsteoStrong within 100 miles of my home, I would be doing their program, unfortunately the closest location is to far for me to “day-trip” it once a week.

If you look at my bio on this site, you will find I have 3 links listed. Cut and paste those links into your browser for some very helpful info that most doctors don’t seem to mention to any of us.
