@maryellenb Regarding taking high doses of strontium, you might be interested in this article that says, "When used in a high-dose supplemental form, strontium actually replaces calcium within your bones. Over time, this mineral substitution builds up and causes your DEXA scan results to appear artificially high. Strontium makes your bones appear dense, healthy and strong according to the DEXA x-ray machine — but in reality, your bones could be brittle, weak and malnourished.
The form of the mineral most frequently used in high-dose supplementation – strontium citrate – has never been approved by the FDA for treatment of osteoporosis, which means that there is no official FDA guidance on dosing, safety or long-term effects for strontium citrate in osteoporosis treatment."

So the supplement was all you did to improve? I maybe missed something?
