I am currently reading "Resolving Osteoporosis: The Cure & Guide Book" by Dan Purser, M.D. Have any of you read this book? Do you know anything about Dan Purser? I was looking for some feedback from anyone who may have read the book or knows Dr. Purser.

After reading her book, I feel she has an incredible wealth of knowledge about how to help rebuild bone density with proper nutrition and exercise.

I am tempted to do this because I would like an expert's viewpoint on whether… read more
Hi, did you ever have your consultations with Susan Brown? if you did, would you please share any information? thank you from all of us!!!

My body doesn’t seem to absorb vit d even when I was taking 10000units as my level was 17.
I am now on 2000 units daily and still only in the high 20.
I include items that contain vit d in my food,
My density score was T-2.9 when diagnosed year ago at 58
What can I do
Do you have any kind of intestinal disorder like ibs, crohns, something that would maybe cause malabsorbtion of minerals and vitamins? Because I have a lot of trouble absorbing nutrients too. I've had… read more
