I am a big proponent of exercise and healthy eating and the right supplements for osteoporosis. I got a Dexa and a REMS scan and feel that the REMS even though numbers were a bit worse were more valid. Do your research on both. I had my primary care, the spinal surgeon. another spinal doctor and the endocronologist all put the fear of God into me about "take the drugs NOW" I chose not to even though i fractured my L2 and L4 with a bad fall. I thought "who would not have fractured something if they fell and hit their back on the steel based table? SEE WHO ARE THE MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS.....SURPRISE SURPRISE ...THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES WHO MAKE THE DRUGS. I am not in the least suggest anyone goes against their doctors orders or not to take the drugs but BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE. No one cares more about you and your health than you do. Medicine is a business like any other. People do more research on buying a car than they do taking care of their bodies. Take a peek at this article and so many more on line.
