Has anyone improved bone density without meds?

Yes, I too am afraid of the side effects, especially since I have a complicated, long history of problems with my gums and jaw. I have ordered "Good Bones" and Barnes and Noble is holding a Mayo Clinic book for me on osteoporosis that I will pick up tomorrow. These works address ways to strengthen bones through diet and supplement.
The descriptions I've read of "osteoblast", that process of erosion of bone, and the way these meds strengthen bones makes these pharmaceuticals tempting. But I am looking into how possible it might be to strengthen bones without them. These discussions on this site, they really help.

McCormick's book "Great Bones" has a lot of info on meds, the combinations and sequencing, how to manage transitions, how to monitor.

McCormick's other book is "The Whole Body Approach to Osteoporosis" and can be used before, during or after meds. McCormick himself used meds.

Osteoblasts build new bone and osteoclasts break bone down (turnover). My understanding is that bisphosphonates and Prolia work by affecting turnover, Forteo and Tymlos increase growth, and Evenity does both.

Thanks for your post. I have sond soo much research on the internet that I don't want anyother book to read. I am considering BbBoneBoost and am still on the fence. I have a friend/neighbot who is a retired nurse and she reviewed this and approved. I am still sitting on the fence as at my age I don't need any more "aches and pains" other that what comes with the priveledge of maturity.

P.S. I, also, enjoy the discussion on this site. It has been enlightening and sad to see how many of us suffer from these issues just because we did not "Drink a pint of milk a day". The sign that used to be on the buses in London.
