@daisy17 I am begrudgingly new to this world of osteoporosis, so I am just now starting to learn from others and research on my own.

There are a lot of Strontium users on this site and also on Inspire who are super smart people and they have had fantastic results. They have TONS of research that shows the opposite of what it says in your article. And of course, conflicting research means we tend to get conflicted as well.

But I have chosen to reverse osteoporosis naturally, and my regimen includes taking Strontium.

To me, it seems far-fetched that pharmaceutical medications would be better for our bodies than a naturally occuring substance.

It's sort of like back in the 80s when doctors were telling women that it was safer to have a cesarean birth vs a natural delivery.

I had that cesarean because I was told I'd die and that my baby would die if I even attempted a natural delivery, and all because my baby was guessed to be large. That didn't make sense to me because I was a 9# baby back when babies were in the 6/7# range, and my mother's labor was so fast she didn't make it to the hospital in time. If my mom could do it, I knew in my gut that I could too.

But in the end, I knew I couldn't live with myself if the doctor's fear mongering turned out to be true, so I had that unnecessary cesarean. And then I went into the birth field to prevent other women from being sliced open for no medical reason, as I was.

If you look at the research from WHO, our now 30%+ cesarean rate should be around 10%. At the Farm in Tennessee, where they've been doing home births for 40+ years, I believe their cesarean rate is less than 5%. I know the rate for the women in my class and for the women who I attended in labor was 2.8%.

Long story short.

I'm getting the feeling that this entire field of osteoporosis is sort of like natural births vs cesareans.
