Anyone had experience with OsteoStrong, who is not a franchisee?

I am newly diagnosed so am exploring options. I just asked my osteo specialist for his opinion about Oseostrong. He said the consensus among his peers is that it is a multi-level marketing scheme.
About the science, (I'm not reporting what he said verbatim) they report greater bone growth but that it actually weakens bones.
For now I will try traditional osteo-friendly exercise.

I am afraid your doc is correct. Functional medicine teaches that we are in control of our own bodies, and what we do 24/7 has a huge effect on our total health. It's a hard lesson to learn in our instant gratification society. We all want the "magic pill" that just doesn't exist.
Osteostrong also fits the American model of "cure me quickly with the least possible effort on my part" - I believe the attraction is one can get results in one short session a week. And it works as well or better than the "tried and true" - improve diet, daily weight-bearing exercise and moderate weight training.
Do you have a bone-friendly plan?
