I've adopted and maintained every natural approach possible, including the Marodyne vibration plate, since being diagnosed with osteoporosis three years ago. My DEXA scores have continued to deteriorate-from a -2.5 to -2.7 (hip) and to a -3.9 (spine) with a -4.6 in the L1 section. The technician who performed the first DEXA in 2021 said she couldn't get a reading on the spine because I have scoliosis in the lumbar region. (Which made no sense). I'm 69 years old. I followed guidance in Dr. McCormick's amazing book, as well as helpful tips from Margie Bissinger's annual bone "summits" and her podcast interviews with functional specialists. I have been taking all the recommended supplements, do weight bearing exercises, Zumba, and work with a physical therapist for the scoliosis. I was tested for underlying causes (like gluten issues) and none were positive. I think the contributing factors in my case are the scoliosis, which developed in my early teens, I was anorexic for four years in college, and hereditary factors from both Mom's and Dad's side of the family are likely playing a part. I started Tymlos injections three weeks ago. So far, so good. I really believed that the natural approaches would improve my bone density, and it appears many people have success with functional medicine exclusively, I'm just not onc of them. I'll continue everything I've been doing to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The good news is I haven't experienced a fracture.
