Has anyone used the Marodyne device to stimulate bone growth?

Thank you again,. And here's a great study I found on Bio-ID hormones in older women so this gives me hope and you may appreciate the study too:) Going to see a great endocrinolgist in the new year.

Also, I just got the Marodyne machine yesterday so I have a couple questions! WHen I turn it OFF , I hear a noise in the machine, like a "tap" or "pop". I hope I didn't get a dud machine! Do you hear that in yours?

Also, if I don't bend my knees slightly, I feel the vibration go up to my head and I don't like that feeling--do you bend your knees and do you feel it in your head if you don't?

Were those Algaecal studies done by the company itself or are they indep studies? And do you take the Algaecal with strontium or without (I can't handle strontium!)

Thanks so much,
Lisa

Searched for reviews on the Marodyne LIV and found your post from last year. In your post, you wrote that you were about to have another DEXA (think it was your 2023 DEXA). If you don’t mind sharing did you see mores gains in your BMD (better t-scores)?

About 2 weeks ago I had another DEXA w/ TBS. I’m not taking any osteoporosis-meds (decided to stop in 2022) and my December 2024 DEXA showed significant improvements over my December 2022 scores. My total lumbar spine BMD improved by 5.6% and my total mean hip increased by 7.9%. Both increases are statistically significant. As I said I’m not on meds but I do go to the gym and try to work my back and hips muscles to stimulate bone growth—currently leg press 345 lbs (I’m 4’11” (no height loss) and weigh 108 lbs). I also take supplements (K1, K2, magnesium, boron, turmeric, magnesium, L lysine, D3, garlic oil and fish oil, and use BoneUp for my calcium supplement).

I’m trying to decide if I want to invest in the Marodyne LIV and I’d love to know if you are continuing to see improvements.

Thank you.

Wow! I don't know if any Marodyne LIV research exists that shows it improves bone density when used on its own or that could even top the results based on what you are doing.

What are all the exercises you are doing if you don't mind my asking.

Too, does your workout include the sitting hip abduction machine?

This is an update to a previous comment I posted on this thread. I just had another DEXA after a two-year interval. I use the Marodyne daily 2-3 times for almost 4 years. In case you didn't see my first comment, after 18 months of Marodyne use my T-scores improved significantly from -3.3 in my spine and -2.6 in my total hip to -3.0 in the spine and -2.2 in the total hip. After another two years of use, my recent DEXA shows a stable score in my spine, going from -3.0 to -2.9. It does show a decrease in bone mass for the hip which went from -2.2 to -2.5. This -2.5 puts me basically back where I was before I started using the Marodyne platform (-2.6). I'm not unhappy with these results because they show definite improvement in the spine reading over the past 3.5 years from -3.3 to -2.9 and the hip has remained stable from -2.6 to -2.5. My understanding is that bone loss is generally progressive as we age so I'll take this as a win. I'm now going to double down on other things that can possibly improve the scores so that see additional improvement. I don't plan to take a medications. I can't say this is all due to the Marodyne but this plus walking and taking a few supplements is all I've been doing. There is room to do alot more with weights and more targeted exercises.

It's important not to bend your knees. If you do, the signal will stop there. Check out Margaret Martin's interviews with Dr. Clinton Rubin on YouTube. There are a few and I can't remember in which one he says that you should feel it in your head - your teeth should chatter slightly when you touch them together - and that tells you the signal has reached all the way up your spine. Good luck with the machine - I'm rooting for you, although, sadly, it didn't work for me : (

You know, if the Marodyne was science based we would not be here and on other social media asking all these questions.

Your questions and those asked by others are valid.

This is yet another reason, along with the large vacuum of solid evidence-based, independent/non-biased research missing with this device that I am waiting before even considering it.

Is it similar to a WBV platform? I've been using that one to two times a day, and they cost WAY less than $3,000
There are a lot of different manufacturers. I use LifePro.

Awesome! Thank you for sharing this! Keep up the good work!
