"Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): Thank you, Naomid, for your post, which I'll partially quote here, to spread the news:
"Yes and yes. I've read every study to date. Here are a couple:

We bought the Marodyne LIV almost a month ago, like others, out of fear and with the strategy to, "leave no stone unturned," in our search for effective treatments. After nearly a month of searching for ANY research, (other than that sponsored by the inventor, Dr. Rubin, or his cohorts), we were about to send it back for a full refund, until we found the study you publicized in you post, published by National Institute of Health (NIH). That's the ONE positive, independent study I needed in order to keep and not return the LIV device. The other study you included in your post had no value for us, as it's results were inconclusive, AND, is was sponsored by a cohort of Dr. Rubin, the inventor. Thanks, again. Let's all keep up this very helpful conversation, and thanks to MayoClinic for facilitating this discussion.

Note that the first study had only 42 people using the machine average age of 61 and 38 in the placebo group average age of 58. None of the participants had DEXA scores lower than -2.5 and none of them had fractures.

The second study was odd and concluded "This study indicates that low-level mechanical stimuli may have the potential to prevent bone loss in the postmenopausal population, but failed to stimulate the formation of bone."

The 2nd 12 month 2009 study started with 70 participants and ended up with 46, but since the study allowed replacement of anyone who dropped out within the first 3 months they weren't the same participants. The machines were used at home and none of the participants' diet or exercise was monitored. None of the participants had fractures before the study and starting DEXA scores were not a factor in eligibility. All of the women were 3 to 8 years past menopause but age was not recorded.

The 2nd study was paid for by the manufacturer of a vibration machine.

Also include trace minerals and going up the stairs then jumping from the last 2 or 3 steps, 20 times at least 3 times a week.

Hi Naomid, I just bought a Marodyne and have read many stories, both positive and negative so a bit worried! I'm wondering if you like yours and how your DEXA was one year later?
Many thanks,
Lisa
