I choose not to take the medications, too many side effects for me, I am focusing on healing my body on the inside

More I research, the more determined I am to beat this naturally. Last night I read this study of how Alendronate, not only inhibits bone resorption, but may also suppress bone turnover!

Just came back to see my doctor. She told me her mom has osteoporosis on her back. She is not giving her any medication. Her mom is only taking vitamin D and calcium. She is also lifting weights and walking. In conclusion, if our doctors don’t prescribe medication to their family members, there must be a good reason for not doing it. I have decided to stay away from medication. Let’s build a whole team of women against osteoporosis medication! 😄

Hi Sandra, there is lots of information on supplements to improve bone health. As I did my research (also newly diagnosed) it was interesting to read what vitamins/minerals should not be taken together and which should (for optimal benefits). Many others on this site have had pretty incredible results from taking supplements + diet + exercise. Osteoporosis can be reverted to osteopenia. That's what I'm working towards!

Hi Sandra I take calcium chewable tablets prescribed by my GP and to eat foods that have calcium in like cheese fish milk greens and walking is good for the bones Not all medication suits everyone but you find out if you take anything
