I’ve only had Marodyne for two months, but all my back pain is gone. I’ll share updates with my next DEXA.

I don't know about marodyne?

YES! I have been using the Marodyne twice daily for about 16 months, and just got the results of my DEXA & TBS scan today!
My DEXA scan from 8/2022 showed a score of -3.0 or bone loss in the spine of 8.8% from the previous scan. My current spine scan now reads “NORMAL”!!!!! T score is now -0.3!
Improvement in all the other measures, too—Femoral Neck went from-2.2 to -1.6! Total hip increased from -2.0 to an average of -1.35 (Total Hip L was -1.2, and Total Hip R was -1.5).
To be fair, I have been doing MANY other things: Strength training - 5 sessions a week, HRT (lowest dose), many supplements (including K2 [MK4 & MK7], D3, Tocotrienols/geranylgeraniol, Milk Bone Protein, MCHA, strontium citrate, Osteoben, collagen, magnesium, trace minerals, etc.), prunes (5/day)…..but I believe the research shows Marodyne does seem to help the spine the most, especially in thin fine-boned women (me). So make of it what you will! But my rheumatologist now says no meds needed!!!! 😄

Awfultruth, I was somewhat skeptical, too, at first…..but I did take great pains to highlight the fact that I have been on the strontium citrate. Neither my rheumatologist nor the radiologist (both at a very well-known major teaching hospital) raised any questions, other than that the degenerative changes in my lumbar spine presented some technical challenges. But I am choosing to look at the glass as half full, not half empty!
The thought did occur to me, that perhaps one or more of the supplements I’ve been taking somehow contributed to the efficacy of the LIV platform? Was there something that facilitated the transformation of the mesenchymal cells into osteoblasts, or discouraged their morphing into fat cells? A plausible question.
ERRATUM: Milk BASIC Protein (MBP), not Milk Bone Protein. (We all have “bone” on our mind!)
Also, for those interested, I forgot to mention melatonin, creatine, and Vitamin C….

Hi melia7,
I’m not really sure what you mean by “time interval” and “mixing”? But I will try to answer your question as best I can.
Over the past two years, as my research expanded, I kept adding new supplements. So it was an accretive gradual process. On my kitchen table I have two plastic containers that hold most of my pills(!), and another on my bedside table. That way, I don’t forget to take them. There are certain supplements that are best taken in the morning, others in the evening, some on an empty stomach, etc. So it’s a staggered approach. And you have to be very methodical and dedicated. It helps to like doing research and be willing to commit to a project wholeheartedly, even though the outcome is not guaranteed.
I’m not sure why this worked for me, but d*mn! (Excuse the language, but it’s called for!) It sure feels great! (And kind of a poke-in-the-eye to all the doctors who rolled their eyes at my natural approach!) 😜

OK, here’s an additional “what if…?”
What I had not considered before is the fact that I have been on hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for an autoimmune disease the past 7 years. For the first 5 years of that time, I had gradual - then sudden - bone loss. So besides everything else I have been doing these past two years, I have stayed on the HCQ. Is it possible that somehow the HCQ finally boosted the osteoblasts in response to the added stimulus of the supplements, exercise, diet or possibly the LIV? I’m just conjecturing here, but found this research that may be relevant: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28556961/#:~:text=HCQ%20inhibits%20the%20formation%20of,leads%20to%20decreased%20bone%20resorption.
What do y’all think?

I found this on the company website.

Marodyne LiV Safety and Side Effects
No contraindications have been discovered or associated with the Marodyne LiV.

High intensity whole body vibration platforms, on the other hand (such as the Power Plate), have been shown to have a number of contraindications and are not recommended for therapeutic purposes and certainly not for individuals with low bone density, osteopenia or osteoporosis.

The device is safe to use if you have had a joint replacement, whether that is a hip or knee replacement. It is also safe if you have plates or screws from previous fractures.

Hi @healthmatters, I moved your discussion to a discussion titled, "Has anyone used the Marodyne device to stimulate bone growth?" - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/has-anyone-used-the-marodyne-device-to-stimulate-bone-growth/. I did this so the many members discussing the Marodyne device could see your post and share their experiences in addition to the members who have already shared theirs.
