@heartfelt70 can you cite your statement that bones after bisphosphonates are "like chalk" and "crumble"? It is commonly known that bisphosphonates should not be taken for more than 3-5 years, because bone density is increased by lowering bone turnover, so there is less or no new bone. But the incidence of femur fracture or jaw necrosis in that time frame is rare.

This mechanism for bone growth IS a reason to do an anabolic first!

I am curious how doctors make money when they give us meds. Sincere question. I am sure you are right but I would like to know the mechanism.

I am sorry you had an awful reaction. I have also had awful reactions to many meds. But some do fine with bisphosphonates and benefit. Those people tend not to post here because they have no reason to.

I am cautious and am doing low doses and apart from fever have done okay with it.

Thank you for your reply. I do not buy anything from from bone coach, just educate myself. After 3 different osteoporosis injections I learned it's all poison to my body. I'm on my own now and my endocrinologist understands my point. He not agreed/disagreed but will continue evaluateing me with DEXA every 2years and blood test every so often. I found a collagen for joint that makes joints a lot better. I found myself for the first time walking on the beach with no aches and pains....got great reviews..the company's name SPARKLE sold on Amazon. I spoke with the company a few times just to educate and talk about my concern. 3 months into using the product, so far I'm very happy...one thing for sure....I feel better and stronger without the meds. I keep walking, weight bearing, eating right and taking the right supplements. Will see what DEXA results will be in November. Good luck to all of us
