What helps improve osteoporosis without medication?

Hi mistea,
I would encourage you to purchase the Marodyne LiV. I have had mine for about 5 months and use it twice a day for 10 minutes. I can feel the difference in my strength from using it. Check out Margaret Martin for more information on the device. She interviews the scientist, Dr. Rubin, who invented the Marodyne LiV for astronauts to use to regain their bone density. You may also be able to get a discount through her site. I have two of Margaret's books and have watched many of her videos. She has helped me so much.
My bone density DEXA scan showed my spine at borderline osteoporosis. I declined to take the prescription medicine. That is why I purchased the device. My husband uses it also, even though he does not have osteoporosis. I am not due for a repeat scan until 2024, but am considering paying out of pocket for another one to be done sooner.

I’ve been considering Marodyne LiV. Please let us know if your next dexascan show’s improvement.

You and I are on the same program except I use the LiV 3x a day. I tried Evenity for 4 months but got taken off of it due to side effects. My Dexa scan is in November. Fingers crossed. I’ve also added 5 prunes a day and two kiwis. I’ve increased my protein too.

dmanduca,
Three times a day on the LiV is great! I am impressed. You must be very organized to make that happen. Actually, I really enjoy using the machine. I have a TV screen nearby and I always find interesting YouTube videos to watch on topics I like to learn about.
I do eat six prunes a day with my oatmeal. I used to be very enthusiastic and was eating eight a day, but then I cut down to six. I didn't know kiwis were beneficial for bone density. Maybe I will add that to my diet.
I hope your DEXA scan shows great improvement!

Your doctor is in business to care for you and keep you healthy. Your endocrinologist has special training in blood chemistry, and knows what the appropriate vitamin and mineral levels should be for you, with your particular health in mind.

Algae Cal is not a physician, but a for profit company whose aim is to make the most money possible. The only way they can do that is to sell more product.

All published recommendations for Vitamin D levels by NIH, AMA are between 30-50 ng/mL. I know who I would trust.

More about Vitamin D - more is not always better.
Vitamin D is not water soluble, so the excess is not simply excreted in urine. It can build up in your tissues over time, causing unpleasant side effects. This can also cause hypercalcemia, where there is too much calcium in the blood, increasing danger of heart disease.

Too many supplements, or too high doses over a period of time, are not necessarily harmless as many people believe. They can cause symptoms as above, and interfere with normal body processes, or with prescribed medications.

Are your levels of both Vit D and calcium being monitored regularly?

Thinking about the marketing angle, I wonder whether claims that lactobacillus reuteri decreases osteoporosis is actually accurate or simply promoted by supplement makers.
