osteoporosis

[Jasagirl]

Recently diagnosed and not taking Dr prescribed medication. Want to try natural ways. Diet, vitamins, exercise and vibration plate.

I was diagnosed over 9 years ago and only took meds for the first year. If you're determined enough , it's possible to maintain good bone health through a healthy diet, supplementing as required, and lots of exercise - as high impact as is safe, together with progressive resistance training. At the moment, diagnosis of osteoporosis via a DEXA scan is based on bone density, which isn't necessarily the same as bone strength, so if you're able to access and afford a REMS scan, that would give you invaluable extra information about your bone strength. As far as I'm aware, the Marodyne LiV plate is the only one recognised as a medical device and believed to be safe for osteoporosis. Other brands may be effective, but carry a risk of fracture and also retinal tears.

What’s a Marodyne LiV plate?

[Met00 in reply to Deb967]

Marodyne is the make, and it's a low intensity vibration plate.

[Deb967 in reply to Met00]

Where does one get the plate from? TY

Hi, natural way is how I’m dealing with osteoporosis. I’ve come to realize there are so many nutrients we need to get in the fight. I take Grow Bone supplement and collagen with the x peptide. Medication side effects are terrible! Exercise especially squats. I’m going to ask my Dr for another DEXA but as we all know insurance doesn’t pay unless on a western med.. kind of makes me sick! K2 magnesium are a necessity besides Ca and D hope this helps

Take care and Happy Easter 🐣
