Morning bruceandruth~
Good to know there is interest in our experiences in dealing with our 'bone' problems on this post.
It's a real win win for all of us.
Since my DEXA shows that I'm in severe osteoporosis, there are certain exercises and stresses I should not be doing. I do enough on my own to cause damage..as I am always reaching and pulling and dancing...while also trying to be wiser.
I really could have seriously damaged myself with the extreme resistance applied with the machines at OsteoStrong. I didn't, but could have. I would suggest that anyone that is in the 'severe' category should think twice about exerting this much pressure on our already weakened bones. I managed to 'press' over 545lbs! I would never be able to do that on my own..so this was a lot to put on my bones....so think twice about what you are doing to regain bone density that isn't as extreme.
I do like the data behind the vibration plate therapy..and enjoy using mine. Again...take it easy...this is not a toy.
I was taking Grow Bone for about 6 months...and then had some disparate symptoms..like a bit of vertigo and wierd toe numbness. I checked out all the other supplements I was taking..using my pendulum..and it told me that GB was not for me. The Strontium part of this product seemed fine for me..but not the calcium part. I switched back to Bone-Up and then saw that a famous oncologist and one that saved my husbands life when he had stage 4 prostate cancer, was also behind, as well as putting his name on a bone building product that Life Extension is selling. I will get that product soon. His name is Dr. Stephan Strum...you can google him.
While it is 10 caps a day..that doesn't bother me..but I do see that many are not wanting to take so many caps a day. I trust this mans opinion as well as his dedication to assist others.
We didn't get weak bones over night..and it will take a lot to turn our 'ships' around...so don't give up what makes sense to you...keep searching for more information and do what feels right for you. Stressing over what we have isn't helpful...looking for peace of mind in our battle is as important as any medication or supplement or exercise routine we could do for ourselves. I wish you all the very best. Keep moving!
