The Strontium Debate: Is it good for bone health?

The strontium research cited left out the newest and additional research beyond the cited earlier research used by EMA monitoring board. Different research which negated the cardio risks from strontium ranelate and tied the clot risk to the normal risk that all osteoporosis patients have was not presented.
Research has to be a layered approach, and you have to look at all of it. Yes, it gets complicated and maybe doesn't fit well into a video interview, but you can't ignore research and get a full picture.
It is always best to check the sources on anything including videos found on line. I spent a day checking the sources just on strontium from the video and then checking to see what if anything any new research was saying.
I found the above negations and concerns.
None of this is hidden; it just takes looking.
The main driver of the strontium ranelate conclusions seem to be the warnings by EMA about strontium ranelate. That warning has been questioned, given the newer and conflicting research, but strontium ranelate is no longer marketed in the UK or the European union. So basically the question and the concerns have become moot for the EMA. So the conflicts in research have not been updated and are basically ignored.
Anyway, here is a post of the research which I located; research used by the EMA and research that was not evaluated by the EMA because strontium ranelate is no longer marketed in the Uk or the EU.
This is a journal post in progress, so i will be checking and updating it as needed. It takes some work to make all that research more readable and I am still working on it.
Plus, I am not a doctor, but the post just reports the research from scientists, doctors and uses their words and conclusions. So this is many doctors and scientists speaking and my post layers all their research and helps provide a fuller and more accurate picture of strontium via ranelate and what the research actually says by showing all the research which I can find. This then also gives a clearer picture of the research as it pertains to strontium, clots and cardio events.

@kathleen1314 One can never extrapolate study results with strontium ranelate to the over the counter supplement that some people are taking that includes strontium citrate. This is the point that both doctors made that I agree with.
I would like to see studies done using strontium citrate at pharmacological dosages that far exceed what one would ingest through their diet, which is what people are ingesting without any evidence that it’s effective.
People are free to come to their own conclusions but we should be careful not to confirm our own bias but extrapolating data from studies on unrelated compounds.
I am well versed in scientific principles as I have two degrees in science, one of which is in microbiology. I was also a practicing registered nurse for many years. However, that doesn’t qualify me to provide advice to others on how to treat their osteoporosis. I can only share what I’ve learned and done for myself. But this is what I hold as a value for myself and others here approach this differently. I have seen people who recommend medications and supplements outright and that concerns me.
I have known about strontium for years and chose not to go down that path until there is evidence for taking strontium citrate. Others are free to form their own decisions about that and I wish them well.
There isn’t a one size fits all solution to osteoporosis and many factors play a role, as I’ve found in my case. Today I should learn whether my changed approach over the past two years has been effective as I should be getting the results from my DEXA from last week.
I haven’t fractured again after 27 months which means I have defied the odds of up to 30% of having another fracture within 2 years. This was using a pharmacological approach combined mostly with HRT, exercise (LIFTMOR-style training and other weight exercises, impact, and HIIT), and nutrition.
Depending on how well this has worked, I will continue as I am or perhaps I’ll look at other options. But I will firmly hold to using scientific evidence for my approach.
