@kathleen1314, I completely agree that one has to keep an open mind with a healthy dose of skepticism and thorough evaluation. Thanks for correctly my statement. The blog post to which you refer was written in Feb 2017 and reviewed this Jan 2017 study (Mayo Clinic also participated in this study):
- Melatonin-micronutrients Osteopenia Treatment Study (MOTS): a translational study assessing melatonin, strontium (citrate), vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 (MK7) on bone density, bone marker turnover and health related quality of life in postmenopausal osteopenic women following a one-year double-blind RCT and on osteoblast-osteoclast co-cultures https://www.aging-us.com/article/101158/text
It's important to keep asking questions and pushing researchers to continue to find answers for a condition that affects 200 million people worldwide. Bone health is so important to our overall well-being.

@colleenyoung Thanks, this is of course a subject that I am keenly interested in. One thing that caught my eye was that it said "melatonin, strontium (citrate), vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 (MK7; MSDK) on bone mineral density (BMD)". I am taking vitamin D3, and K2 along with a calcium supplement to make up for the deficit in my daily consumption of calcium but I take then during the day. I wonder if nightly actually makes a difference.
I will not take strontium. The medical authorities that I have trust and faith in do not seem to recommend it. I am also a bit horrified that people take borax! Boron may be helpful but Borax is not meant for consumption.
@lioness With my lack of immunity and wanting to once again be able to go out and be with people, I will be at the front of the line for the vaccine. I read that the first group will be health care workers and people in long term care facilities, and the second group will include the immunosuppressed. I hope and pray that it will not be a live vaccine or one that supports the immune system so that I will be able to have the vaccine.
