I reversed osteoporosis without drugs

If I may join your conversation....
I was doing reclast infusions every year. My dexascan score stayed the same but did not improve. I started reading about taking collagen. Some women reported improved Dexascan scores after being on it. I still take my calcium and I take a liquid vitamin D3 and K2 that I put under my tongue. I purchase it from the same company as the collagen. I take magnesium 3 days a week also. I worry as to whether I'm doing the right thing. Guess I'll know when I get my next dexascan. You know you can only have them every two years.

My technician said that Medicare will pay for one every year if you're being treated for osteoporosis or osteopenia.
What type collagen and what dose...do you know if powder is better than collagen tablets...
Hi, Can you please tell me where you get your supplements, i.e liquid vit D and K2? The choices are so overwhelming so I would like to get what others have chosen Thanks! Barb
My understanding is Insurance will only pay for a DEXA scan every two years. But you can have them yearly or more if necessary. The radiation is very mild and not worse that traveling cross country in a plane. You could have the DEXA yearly and pay for one, and then have the next covered by insurance. IMHO, two years is way too long not to know what's going on with your bones.

I had 3 scans within 14 months. All were paid by Medicare because my primary doc marked the script “medically necessary”. And you can have them as often as you like if you pay. They are about $150.
