Evenity New
I used the heading Evenity new because I’m not sure
where this discussion fits in.
Clinical Studies on osteoporosis drugs:
Evenity was approved in the U.S. and Canada around 2019.
CHMP in the U.K. would not approve of Evenity in April 2019
because of negative cardio events.
Amgen stated then it would apply for re-appraisal.
Amgen was under pressure at that time because another
of their meds was getting off patent.
And Amgen was worried that another osteoporosis med
was going on market and take market share away from them.
I think it was a PTH med.
In Oct of 2019, CHMP made a quick U turn and approved
the drug Evenity.
Clinical Trials on Evenity: several co-authors of study on Evenity
are mentioned: one or more in particular are
in private practice. Is this a conflict that should concern
us as we read the results. *look at bottom of study to see
participants.
I could link to studies: however I have so many publication/articles/etc
it would take me some time. Suggest if you are interested
to pursue any subject, do some browsing on web, lots there to find
from credible sources.
I now am doing some research on more info on the PTH meds.
I want to clarify:
I am NOT advocating or trying to influence any decision,
that anyone has on what to take or not take.
What is good for you is good for you. You have made the
best decisions for yourself under stressful conditions.
I am very motivated to get the best research, the most
up-to-date information on anything I put into my body.
I have severe osteoporosis and still have not come to a
decision on what med to take, or not take.
Drs. anyone I’ve seen, have said they have hardly ever
seen my numbers.
This is one year since my diagnosis.
The first several months since diagnosis
were confusion and fear. I am trying not to make a decision
based on fear.
I have read, and continue to share in the good news of
people in this Support Group. I say Hurray for good news
and improvement. You are pioneers in a very uncharted
journey.
Next: I know you are all aware of how balance is important.
Don’t fall. Do we have a separate discussion group for
best exercizes to prevent Falls, to strengthen spine muscles,
compound exercizes, farmer walk, bird dog, etc for osteoporosis.
regarding nutritional benefits for osteoporosis:
Is there a separate support group for Nutrients:
Has anyone taken, or is taking, these additional vitamins/minerals:
omega 3
magnesium
broccoli sprouts - Sulforabane
Dr Patrick has interesting views: take a look
Vitamin/minerals made by Metagenic, Thorn,
Has anyone bought from these supplier: There is also
Consumer Lab for helpful info. I have not checked
with them lately.
In addition to Vit D and Calcium..what are your views:
strontium citrate: to add to your diet - is it controversial?
Melatonin – some clinical studies ..take a look
very promising for bone health. Do you take any.
Am still trying to find right dietitian, have not so far.
Finally: the Marydone vibration, which got praises from
Dr Janet Rubin with Margaret Martin interview,
(btw Dr Janet Rubin is related to Dr Clinton Rubin)
Sara Meeks also endorsed it on a Bob and Brad interview.
It is so expensive. Has anybody
found a similar machine, same configurations, at lower cost.
I am happy to read, and share with others about meds
and beyond with nutrients and.. anything else
can be beneficial. thank-you

That was my understanding too -
That Dr McCormick did not take Evenity
I don't believe there is mention of it in his book,
which was published March 2023
nor is there any mention of his taking it
in interviews or podcast.
Evenity became available as of 2019,
If he has taken it recently:
it would be of interest to know,
There is discussions that he sometimes
suggests taking it.
Sorry, read here that he took evenity, but guess it wasn’t . Thanks for correcting.
