I am looking into Vitamin D3 more carefully. It seems that recent studies indicate that it may not be as helpful to bones as previously thought. Then there's conflicting opinions about the accuracy of DEXA. There's the debate about obtaining calcium through supplements or food and how much is actually needed. I'm starting to get to the point where I am going to continue eating whatever agrees with me whenever I want to, get sunshine, go out walking, and stop fretting about my osteoporosis. Some times I feel that I am tilting at windmills in trying to find the right combo of supplements, diet, and exercise that will reverse my osteoporosis. I've had osteoporosis for years and knock on wood at the tender age of 68, I still feel good. And I want to keep it that way - mentally and emotionally too - by taking a big deep breath, stepping back, and stop worrying about sugar, anti nutrients, weighted vests, vibration platforms, a cocktail of D3, MK7, Magnesium, Boron, Vitamin C and so on, and so on, and so on. I don't know if and when I will ever fracture but for now, I am living life with OP instead of letting OP consume my life.

When you decide to make OP a priority again. there is an excellent group on Facebook called Osteoporosis Natural Remedies. There is a nutritionist, Douglas Johnson, that has posted a lot. OP is his specialty. He has a group on Facebook - if you go to the Natural Remedies group, you can get the name of his other healthy bone group. I will be getting my new DEXA scan done probably in two months - although I have not been doing everything I can, I have been doing a lot. I have been reading and studying like a wild woman trying to get a grip on OP. I'll try to let you know if I made a dent in my OP. I got to the point of fracturing and then I could have no peace until I could get better. The fracturing has stopped - but I will be interested to see if I have stopped the downward progression of my bones. The deal with getting vitamin D3 from the sun is that there is too much particulate in the air these days - you just cannot get enough from the sun unless you live at the equator. But you can try. It means not using sunblock. The supplements are not so difficult. I use those daily pill containers with morning, noon, night and bed. That way I don't have to remember. I really do not trust the prescription bone-building meds. I've heard way too many horror stories. Good luck to you! I wish you only the best.
