How much weight lifting is required to build bone?

I started looking into it because I vaguely remember one of the member had mentioned about it as Merodyne being expensive and not everyone can afford. I look at anything from science/physics point of view. Also, I have not seen any US based reviews on Merodyne. They have few older ones from women based in UK on You tube also, not seen any on their website either. If it is so good as couple of the YouTubers say, I would like to know the data and how many women in US have used it and their experience using it. If developed with Nasa for astronauts, do they use it? Why is NASA is not promoting it for the welfare of the general public? To me, proof of the pudding is in eating no matter what it costs. It is for the benefit of my own health.
I am still looking for the right one, where people who have used it and some kind of experience. Meanwhile, if you come across anything please keep us updated. Thanks.

I am by no means an expert but the NIH has conducted studies that indicate there are bone-building benefits to vibration therapy. The Merodyne is an exorbitant expense! I am using a LifePro vibration platform and hope to see improvement in my next Dexascan. I just started taking AlgaeCal and Strontium as well.

Thanks, will look into Life Pro.
Just saw Margaret Martins video yesterday latest on Vibration therapy and was very encouraging

Meanwhile please read more about Strontium and talk to your physician. My PCP as well as Endocrinologist both were not in favor of it. Saw a recent video of Margaret Martin on strontium.

She is a great resource for information on osteoporosis but sad that she only promotes one machine that lacks proven data in terms of how many people using this machine and how many are benefiting.

@fearfracture, I started HRT at about 10-11 years out of menopause. I was about 63 at the time and had just finished my 2 year course of Forteo. I weighed all of my options for a follow up treatment, deciding that HRT offered the best opportunity for a more natural bone remodeling process. I decided to take whatever risks (and benefits!) were associated with it vs. the risk of more osteoporosis drugs (for now anyway). It is difficult to assess long-term safety since there are no studies to support that, just observational. In the 4ish years I've been on HRT, I've pretty much maintained my density. I'm a really "fast loser" so maintaining is pretty terrific for me. As you've mentioned, bioidentical is essential and an estradiol patch at the lowest dose of .025 is supposed to effective for protecting bone. Because it is a very low dose, I would think there is also a little less risk involved. If you have a uterus, you must take progesterone and make sure that it is bioidentical as well in the form of micronized progesterone, not synthetic progestin which is what most conventional doctors will prescribe as that is what you will get from the pharmacy and through insurance coverage. I'm not sure if micronized progesterone is even available through conventional pharmacies as I have to get it from a mail order compounding pharmacy. It is pure with no fillers (unlike the pharmaceutical which has peanut oil in it. why??) and the cost is pretty reasonable at about $35 a month.

I have an upcoming appt with Dr Felice Gersh to get a perspective from her on my protocol. I plan to discuss whether I should have some testing done at this point, like a uterine ultrasound, to make sure all is well. Also will discuss whether I should continue taking progesterone daily or begin cycling that which from what I understand is a safer regimen (though you have to contend with some monthly bleeding). I will also get her perspective on long term use. She's an integrative gynocologist/MD and has been at this a really long time. She's very well versed on the research and has her own observational experience over decades in practice prescribing HRT. I'll report back on what I learn from her.

Thanks, will look into Life Pro.

I am 73 yr and started bio identical hormones compounded specifically for me for 15 yrs. Even though my doctors wanted me off I stayed on because I had no hot flashes, no vagina dryness and my skin looked great. When I was 67 yrs I was dx with stage 1 breast cancer…estrogen dependent. My oncologist believes strongly that it was the HRT.
There isn’t breast cancer in my family, I don’t smoke and not overweight.
Perhaps if one gets off after 5 yrs, they would have the benefit but maybe not the scare.

Both the COMB study and MOTS studies on positive bone building with Strontium appear to be legitimate clinical trials and not done by a company who were selling their supplements. I would love your feedback and Margaret Martin's and Dr. McCormick's after looking at the these clinical trials. They used Strontium Citrate plus K2m7 , D and other micronutrients . According to these studies strontium affects the trabecular bone in a positive way.

I understand there are different forms of strontium. I’ve been afraid to try it. Are you taking a specific type? Also do you have to avoid taking calcium supplements?
