Interesting info that I have not heard before. I need to ask some questions so I can understand all these points better.
Where did you get the 22% have serious reactions to Reclast? That's a scary high number.
Who are you quoting about how to infuse Reclast? Can you provide a link?
I've seen people on Facebook saying they get slow infusions and some adding adding a saline solution but I don't believe I ever see where that info originates.
I was already wondering about how to get a longer infusion if I go the Reclast route next. My doc said 20 min while your quote says an hour plus a sodium chloride solution plus Tylenol.
I wonder why so much Tylenol? Does Tylenol protect the kidneys from Reclast (while being chancy for the liver, imo, at the same time)?
On your Risidronate strategy, is there any study showing it holds on to your gains from an anabolic as well as Reclast? And is there any study showing Risidronate can be followed more successfully with an anabolic than Reclast or Fosamax? I get that it seems logical but I wonder if there is any research showing this.
Thanks for the new info

awfultruth, there isn't an actual link. The gentleman dbKarpf is an endocrinologist at Stanford University. A check of his extensive research did not yield this longer method of reclast administration which he developed in his practice. If you want the longer infusion, you might copy his entry from my post. Your physician should then prescribe the medication with this delivery method. I suspect Karpf would respond to an email from your doctor, if your doctor doubts validity. It might be difficult for an infusion center to accomodate the method without advance notice. The 22% reduction are from Karpf as well as the reduction to 1%.
The tylenol does protect the kidneys, but no one with low creatinine clearance and/or acute kidney disease should take Reclast.
Tylenol is eliminated through the liver and produces toxic elements that can cause liver damage if sustained.
You may still have side effects from Reclast.

I think the studies show that Reclast or zolendronate will hold gains from an anabolic the very best and that risidronate holds gains the very least.
I haven't tried any of this.
My strategy is highly suspect and will fall down if you keep pulling out the cards. Do I know what I'm doing? No! I can't find any research and may be reporting fractures at a later date.
