No intention to offend anyone here: Dr. K McCormick is not a researcher in basic or clinical science, nor a medical doctor. He is a doctor of chiropractic medicine.

According to his popular book “great bones”, which I have a copy, he personally had used FORTEO then fosamax for his own osteoporosis. He did extensive readings and reviews on this topic including etiology, diagnosis, treatments and management. He provided some case studies of his “clients” in his book. Undoubtedly it’s a valuable resource for those of us facing a new diagnosis of osteoporosis and trying to comb through the mirage of information out there.

Thank you for stating what I, too, believe. I am not willing to put him on a pedestal as others sometimes seem to be.

Totally agree. Mainly included that question to be a generic inquiry about consulting with others regarding an individual case, whether that is McCormack or Mayo or any other specialist we might meet with. My brainstorming list is long, but it gets narrowed down drastically by the time I am in the office. Most docs are in a hurry.

mayblin,
Not offended. The problem that I face- and others face - is that Dr McCormick knows more than our doctors. I see an endocrinologist and a rheumatologist. Neither had heard of McCormick. Neither was interested. When I asked them questions that were generated by McCormick’s book, they were challenged.
Without his books, I would be navigating this disease blind. Just accepting whatever my under educated doctors tell me.

mayblin,
I saw from a previous comment that you had recommended or other had specific individuals that you or other had found knowledgeable. Would you please share that with me please?
