Struggling with making an osteoporosis treatment decision

Hi there, the payment doctors are receiving for prescribing/promoting a certain drug is nowadays called Industrial Payment. Please google it.
Regarding drugs for osteoporosis they all have the same type of side effects. After having chemotherapy treatment 2012 for ovarian cancer I was in that awful decision situation drugs or what? Read everything that was written. Then a doctor from Kamo Environmental Clinic (in New Zealand 🇳🇿 where I live) suggested STRONTIUM a mineral for bone health. Started 2014 had a Dexa scan 2016 and 2018 where the Radiologist writes: There has been a statistically significant (ie +/- 5%) increase of 7 % compared with the previous study.
In 2016 I had just started taking Strontium and I can assure you I had and still have no side effects to report.
Strontium Renelate is available in Europe. The maker, a French drug company couldn’t put Strontium in a jar and make money so they added Renelate and hence received funding from the French government to do ‘research’.
Say no more, but read about it. How it for some time was withdrawn from the market because of problems with the Renelate…
Please trust people saying it’s safe taking the natural Strontium. I’m taking Life Extension Strontium Caps.
750 mg (3capsules) every night on an empty stomach.
There are other brands just as good I’m sure.
Be mentally and bone strong with STRONTIUM.

@virgo48 the reason you had improvement on your DEXA is very possibly because strontium is denser than calcium and replaces it in the bones, so the bones read as denser than prior to the strontium.
If strontium has been reapproved for use in Europe, or if it has been proven that it was the ranelate, not the strontium, that was causing the cardiovascular/clot risks, please let us know with links.
I took 680mg/day for a few months until the safety info came out. I am now on Tymlos after fracturing, and sooo much better. I started at a low dose and am still on 7 clicks of the pen, not the full dose of 8. I am so grateful for it. It improves quality of bone as well as density.
One other thing: I have read but cannot cite, that strontium may work too slowly (if it works) for those of us with severe bone loss. Evenity is fastest but it is new and it affects resorption, which is not an issue with Forteo or Tymlos.
