Has anyone used the Marodyne device to stimulate bone growth?

Congratulations with your achievement! It is wonderful news for everybody in this forum!
I was not so lucky. I used Marodyne liv for 14 months once a day, but my Dexa was worse after I checked it. I also used many supplements.
Just one question. Did you take all these supplements with the time interval, or you mixed some of them?

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!) 😜

Oh, yes, and I do take several supplements at the same time, and sometimes alternate days for the trace minerals.

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?

Interesting article! That drug is an amazing drug in so many ways. My hubby takes it for lupus. He also had very low platelet counts for a while, and he's been very stable since being on it.

I couldn' t take the drama that unfolded during covid, the ridiculous statements being made... knowing how benign the drug actually is. 🥰 And so helpful to so many. They don't completely seem to know how it works so well in many cases.

Totally agree! Well, let’s hope that craziness is over with, although it seems nothing is certain these days!
I have never had a problem with HCQ, but am diligent about getting my eyes checked twice a year. It is an amazingly effective drug!

Thanks, you understood what I meant by mixing. Today I tried to buy some of the supplements you mentioned. Unfortunately, most of them are not produced in Europe and furthermore I could not buy them on Amazon because they are not delivered to Spain probably due to the lack of regulations or permissions. Fortunately I can use my vibration platform twice a day now.

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.

Melia7,
Wish I could tell you what really worked for me….but honestly, I don”t know! The great results were a surprise to me — at most, I just thought my rate of bone loss might lessen!
Much luck to you.
