@cpd54 and @tilou Dr. Keith McCormick has a lot of information on "Whole Body Approaches to Osteoporosis" (the title of his first book) but is a strong proponent of medications when needed. He himself had fractures and did Forteo followed by a year of Reclast, I believe.
@tilou if you have already fractured, I hope you will consider Forteo, Tymlos or Evenity to build back bone. I chose Tymlos because the dose is adjustable and it is very good for spine. I have spinal fractures and my bone density went from -3.3 to -2.5 (borderline) in 18 month of daily injections of Tymlos.
Keith McCormick's latest book "Great Bones" has a lot of info on meds as well as holistic approaches, which can be used together or in sequence. He does consultations in person and by phone.

@cpd54 , @tilou - I will respectfully clarify what windyshores thought—I will tell you that McCormick told me personally in an appt with him that he did take Forteo for 2 years BUT followed it up with Fosamx for 1 year. Which is what he said is possible for me , however - one must keep doing all the other lifestyle things that impact on osteo. Hope that is helpful!!! Good luck !!
@tilou- Hello. When your T score went from -3.3 down to 2.5 on Tymlos did you stop taking Tymlos? It is my understanding that -3 and less is osteoporosis. And yours got worse.
