vaneta... I have been trying to do my natural approach for strong bones and Its is working I was using my nyk weight vest to get my weight bearing workout 2 hrs a day is good and also I have discovered some great videos on youtube by Dr whitcome on the importance of K2 to help keep bones strong so I get the kerry gold butter and use it on toast etc its loaded with grass fed cows butter full of K2 to keep bone strong also takng raw milk and yogurts and my bones are gettng stronger so I recommend this program and dont forget to make bone broth
they say the bone broth has lots of calcium from cookng the bones and it is absorbed fast by your body so that is great. see vest at nyknyc.com

Hi I have gotten off the drug I was given by my MD by a healthy bone diet (foods that love and build bone) and most important I do a one hr walk every day to exercise and for my bone I wear a vest most comfortable and pretty by nyk weight vest made for osteoporosis in women , very inexpensive too

@vaneta and @laurengold1 thanks for your post. I've not heard of the nyk vest before—looked on their site. Any suggestions for comfort within their styles offered? Looks like the classic is about $89.99. Just want to make sure I'm looking in the right spot. I can't wear anything tight right now (nursing fractured ribs back to health...or at least coaxing them)! Best—Catherine

I am 81 and took one Prolia injection and decided against anything further because of side effects. I asked about the odds, and the doctor didn't have an answer. Last week I ran across a statistic: for someone with osteoporosis, the odds of getting a life-threatening fracture is 26%; the odds of getting a less serious fracture is 62%. I've accepted the odds. I continue to do the things that are good for my bones and take extra care with risky behavior, such as climbing ladders, going up and down stairs, etc. I recently read that Tai Chi is excellent for improving balance, which reduces chance for a fall. I plan to begin that soon. At my age, I am at risk for any number of ailments or accidents. A dietitian at my local hospital called my attention to research that stated calcium supplements can cause clogged arteries. I discovered the diet I adopted several years ago for building immunity gives me as much calcium as I need. I've done everything I can about my osteoporosis, so I just set that worry aside and select another worry from my menu of old-lady worries. And I keep a gratitude journal to remind me of everything that's right in my world.

Hi, 2 years dexa scan showed -3.2 in my spine. I researched and found AlgaeCal bone builder pack. After 2 years on it, and walking 20 minutes a day, my dexa scan at the same facility, on the same machine showed improvement. I'm now at -2.7 . Hope this helps
