@baguette and @candy209 Just to clarify: Dr. McCormick's book is on holistic approaches ("Whole Body Approaches to Osteoporosis") but he advocates for medications when needed and used them himself.

@candy209 I have never heard of osteoporosis meds causing bleeding during dental procedures. Interesting. Necrosis of the jaw is often mentioned as a risk though it happens more with cancer patients on high doses.
