Hey there Lioness - good to see you again. I'm glad to know they make back braces with magnets inside. Could you tell me where you found it? I am a little concerned because I am extremely petite and my body is about three-fourths legs. I don't have much of a waist. My trunk is very very short. I'm concerned I will get a back brace and it will squash my breasts because of the short torso. I'm SO sorry to hear you had a reaction to the bone meal powder. I use food-based calcium tablets from Rainbow Light. In the past I have used Garden of Life food-based calcium. The selection on Amazon is pretty good, but you could also check places like iHerb or Vitacost. When something goes wrong with my body (such as the L5 thing), I try to get to the bottom of it and correct it or treat it. I've got quite a collection of herbal and natural medicine books not - also nutritional healing. My main goal is to get my gut healed and then go from there. Good luck on your quest for new calcium. There used to be a product called Neocalglucon. I gave it to my birds when they were laying eggs. It's a very old product - it's been around for at least 50 years that I know of. Don't forget the vitamins D3 and K2 and magnesium! Keep us posted, okay? I'm getting excited - I will have another Dexa scan done sometime around April. I haven't been consistent with my vitamin regimen until the past year - so I hope that is long enough for a positive change. Let me know about the back brace because I need to get out there walking but it is very painful now. I also have two herniated discs in the lumbar area. UGH. All those years in five inch heels (because I was short, I always wore the highest heels I could find).

Until you find a reputable liquid or powder form how about crushing the ones you have into a powder and mixing in water or putting each crushed pill into something like applesauce.
