Well I would research the benefits, though with some skepticism. Strontium HAS been used in the UK in the ranelate form as a prescription. Info I have read says it is both an anti-resorptive and anabolic. I would never use it as a primary treatment. It may be useful as a post-treatment approach if a person cannot tolerate anything else. There are cardiovascular risks, but those exist with many meds. McCormick's book is great but keep in mind that he himself did meds, then a "whole body" regimen to follow.
