@jacklin Dr. McCormick is not an MD. He is a chiropractor in private practice who now focuses on osteoporosis. His first book was "A Whole Body Approach to Osteoporosis." His more recent 700 page book is "Great Bones."

McCormick cannot prescribe so @kathleenintexas how do you get around that?

My doctor does not do bone marker testing and explains that they do not tell us everything going on in bones. One example: my kidney disease affects CTX. I have talked with McCormick for maybe 16 years and of course he relies on bone markers. There are other areas where they differ. I like having different opinions, actually, though it is hard too.
