Lani Simpson has been a proponent of alternative approaches. I believe she ultimately did Tymlos and may be doing other meds. Keith McCormick wrote "The Whole Body Approach to Osteoporosis" and "Great Bones" but took Forteo and Fosamax himself to "get out of a hole." There are some sites online but make sure to research any claims.

Some docs are medicating too early, or using the wrong sequence of drugs. McCormick writes that those with DEXA scores over -3.0 (or maybe it was -3.3?) could consider alternative approaches. His books are excellent resources and he has some YouTube videos you might like. Hope others come along with some suggestions (and that your bones are relatively okay!)

Thank you for this info......I always do lots of research, no matter what medication or treatment the doc presribes. It is not that I am refuting what he says, but I want to do what is best for me,
and what my body is capable of handling. We have to be our own advocate for our health.
