Here is a quote from someone who studied the Freedom Trial of Prolia. I felt double rage that they gave Prolia to monkeys. This quote doesn't address the issue that occurs after you stop Prolia - which is a loss of all new bone and subsequent fracturing that is worse than what the person had before using Prolia. Doctors are pushing Prolia because there is no money to be made from doing the right thing with vitamins and minerals. I went to an endocrinologist who walked out of the exam room because she was so mad I wouldn't take Prolia. She had nothing else to offer me. My infectious disease doctor told me on Tuesday of this week that what I had discovered about Prolia is the truth. Here are just SOME of the problems with Prolia.
According to an article published on the University of Southern California’s Center for Health Journalism’s blog, monkeys used in Prolia clinical trials developed tooth and jaw abscesses. Two of the monkeys died of protozoal infections. Meanwhile, human test subjects developed cervical, ovarian, pancreatic, gastric, thyroid, and breast cancers. Indeed, the development of these cancers was reported as the “most common adverse event that led to discontinuation” during the trials.
During Prolia trials, 10 people had to be hospitalized due to the skin infection cellulitis . One of these persons died. Yet, in 2010, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Prolia for use in fracture prevention in women with osteoporosis. In fact, the approval came two months earlier than expected.
