@njx58 I find it crazy and irritating that us osteoporosis sufferers have to do all of this research on our own about alternative treatments when osteoporosis has been a problem for women (and some men) for years. All the bone drugs have potentially serious side effects and many are hugely expensive. It seems like the U.S. lags behind foreign countries, such as Japan, in this regard. I think it's because the pharmaceutical industry drives health care in our country.

I find the same situation with fibromyalgia, which I also have. The drugs to treat that have terrible side effects, are addicting, and only offer minimal benefits to about 30% of the people who take them.
