Has anyone used the Marodyne device to stimulate bone growth?

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.

Searched for reviews on the Marodyne LIV and found your post from last year. In your post, you wrote that you were about to have another DEXA (think it was your 2023 DEXA). If you don’t mind sharing did you see mores gains in your BMD (better t-scores)?

About 2 weeks ago I had another DEXA w/ TBS. I’m not taking any osteoporosis-meds (decided to stop in 2022) and my December 2024 DEXA showed significant improvements over my December 2022 scores. My total lumbar spine BMD improved by 5.6% and my total mean hip increased by 7.9%. Both increases are statistically significant. As I said I’m not on meds but I do go to the gym and try to work my back and hips muscles to stimulate bone growth—currently leg press 345 lbs (I’m 4’11” (no height loss) and weigh 108 lbs). I also take supplements (K1, K2, magnesium, boron, turmeric, magnesium, L lysine, D3, garlic oil and fish oil, and use BoneUp for my calcium supplement).

I’m trying to decide if I want to invest in the Marodyne LIV and I’d love to know if you are continuing to see improvements.

Thank you.

Cynthia - did you consult with Dr McCormick?
