    Transcript:
    So your doctor has told you that you
    Should take a bone drug
    Well here’s the first three things you
    Should do when you hear those words
    Number one you yourself should assess
    Your real risk of fracture
    You can do this most simply by using the
    Fracture risk assessment that i
    Developed on betterbones.com
    Of course one important factor is if
    You’ve already fractured then we know
    There’s something going on you should
    Take this seriously
    If you have a family history if you’re
    Using medications
    That increase the risk of fracture like
    steroids and antidepressants and
    Anti-acids and many other medications
    First assess your real risk of fracture
    And we’ve written a lot about this
    You’ll find the fracture risk assessment
    On betterbones.com
    Second ask your doctor to do a medical
    Workup looking for the causes of bone
    Loss
    Looking at things like vitamin d loss of
    Calcium in the urine
    Parathyroid hormone cortisol level dhea
    And most importantly bone breakdown
    Level
    You see there are many tests that the
    Doctors do if they think a person is
    Having excessive bone loss
    So i always say tell your doctor gee doc
    If you think it’s that important that i
    Should take bone drugs then it’s
    Certainly important enough to find out
    If there’s any hidden causes of the bone
    Loss
    So get my medical osteoporosis risk
    My medical osteoporosis work up we’ll
    Give you the link to that it’s right on
    Betterbones.com
    You take that document print it out and
    Take it to your doc and say doc i’d like
    Have i
    Have i had all these tests if not i’d
    Like all these tests
    To see if there isn’t any hidden cause
    Of bone loss before we start talking
    About bone drugs
    I can’t tell you the number of clients
    Who come in have not been tested for
    Anything and are told to take
    Bone drugs and then later you found out
    They were losing calcium in the urine or
    They even had a parathyroid problem or
    Their vitamin d was extremely low
    Find out if there’s any medical causes
    For you bone loss if you really have
    Excessive bone loss
    And number three of course you should
    Take charge and do a complete
    Better bones better body program get all
    The nutrients like we outline
    Develop an alkaline diet really look
    Into the exercise remembering that when
    You build muscle you build bone
    Remember that stress really damages bone
    And this is some of the most interesting
    New research
    Out of columbia university showing how
    You sacrifice
    Osteocalcin a very important bone
    Protein
    When you get fearful there are many
    Aspects to building bone we have six
    Steps to our program
    Be sure to do each of those six steps
    Simple that’s what you do those three
    Things when your doctor says
    You should take an osteoporosis drug be
    Well we’ll talk later

    My bone density test results came in to me along with to my doctor. I waited and never heard from her. I called to set up an appointment to go over my results. Instead Kroger notifies me I have a new prescription to pick up. Generic fosamax. My doctor never set up my appointment. Never discussed my results. Nothing. I'm not taking that crap. I'm looking for a new doctor.

    I work with horses. Throughbred trainers at Santa Anita were giving horses bone drugs. ( on their own doing, not prescribed by a Veterinarian ). Legs on young horses were snapping at an alarming rate.
    My oncologist wanted me on a bone drug and i refused. She asked me to drink only “ Gerolsteiner” German mineral water. I’ve been drinking that or Pelligrino water. They have the highest calcium and magnesium of all mineral waters.

    I am a medical tech who performs BMD . Recently my Dr suggested I go on treatment as my BMD in my spine is low. I asked him if he could run tests to see the underlying cause as Im very active, get a very could diet , no alcohol etc. He basically said all I can help you with is to give you meds and that’s it. I was so disappointed. I have not started meds and will go see a naturopathic Dr .

    My doctor put me on Prolia without first recommending a dental exam. My jaw bone shrunk significantly on Prolia and my teeth fell out and now I regularly get infections I’ve never had in my life. I’ve never fractured a bone and my fracture risk was only 1% and now my bones are worse off than before Prolia treatments.
    Prolia s a very powerful drug that can do more harm than good. It may help some but in my case, it ruined my life.

    This doctor is so very right! I had a parathyroid tumor, discovered by my cardiologist, and had it removed. They looked at past medical records and told me I had that tumor for at least the last 7 years! They could tell just by looking at my blood calcium levels which were extremely high! I don’t like what the “bone drugs” ar doing, but I do take 1200 mg. Of slow release Citracal every day plus vitamins K1 and K2 - called Super K. K2 helps move calcium into bones and also does good things for the heart, which I also need.

She was miserable for months after. Nauseous and fatigued. If the drugs just salvage the old cells and those cells are brittle, how does that help.

    If the woman is menopausal and is within the window of opportunity, less than 10 years, then estrogen replacement will help stop the bone loss, but not rebuild what was lost.

      Hello Johny, thank you for your comment, your questions are very interesting!
      Regarding kidney stones and calcium supplements, most authorities agree that they do not cause kidney stones, and they are more related to dehydration, lack of magnesium, and other factors. You might enjoy some of the videos by Dr. Russell Jaffe, which I have provided the link for below.
      www.drrusselljaffe.com/ask-dr-j/
      As for osteopenia, I really suggest you consider taking our Better Bones Solution Masterclass. This is a comprehensive video series on how to build bone naturally. You will see that there are many other nutrients that are more important than calcium. And, indeed it is okay to get your calcium from diet alone!
      Here is the link for our Masterclass, and on this website, you will find thousands of blogs regarding nutrition for bone health and disease as well!
      Hope to hear from you soon!

I would prefer to carry on taking a low dose of vitamin D as I was under the impression that I don't need to worry about toxicity since I take it with K2.

    My sister was 58.5 years old when she tripped over step coming into kitchen and flew forward hitting her upper arm on leg of kitchen table and broke her humeros. blood tests showed she was low on Vit D (worked 30 years in an office) so was put on vit D/calcium. Thank god no surgery required and bone healed well. Went for dexa scan which revealed osteoporosis/osteopenia. Are we meant to have the same bones in our 60s that we do in our 30s? She refused to take any bone drugs.

    Recently I was diagnosed with osteoporosis I'm only 39 years old, but I know why I have this it's because of my years of excessive exercise and under eating I started getting into healthy lifestyle at age 19 but I've made many many mistakes along the way, for many years I've been under eating while maintaining a very active lifestyle I also didn't menstrate throughout my twenties I started menstruating again at age 32 after I had a tubal ligation somehow that procedure jump started my period but then I recently lost my period again because I started string training and not eating enough to support string training, so now my doctor wants me to take medication for my osteoporosis but I don't want to!! If I can treat this the natural way I'm definitely going to do that I know I have to increase my calorie intake and I have done that I'm trying to learn as much information as I can I'm very terrified though I've been very depressed since my diagnosis and I feel so ashamed for being young and having this because everyone I've talked to said it's very rare for someone in their thirties to have this, chances are I've already had osteoporosis for years and maybe didn't know it until this doctor ordered me to have a bone scan after I told her my history

      Tamoxifen actually has a protective nature for bones and helping to prevent bone loss. I was on Tamoxifen for 5 years, which I understood to be the typical time frame. I am now on Anastrozole 1 mg daily and prior to these 2 cancer meds was diagnosed with moderate osteoporosis. I did see an endocrinologist to talk of my situation just last year and he did do all of the blood tests. He decided to have me take a break from the osteoporosis med I have been on for 7 years to give my body a rest from it. I had no side effects from the med, but there is risk of spontaneous femur fractures on the med, which the doctor says he occasionally sees. 😳. I am now due to restart Fosamax, but am taking my time to decide what I will do. I believe my risk for fracture is quite low, I go to the gym daily, eat well and take Mg and Vit D daily. But, being over 65 in itself is some kind of increased risk for injury with fracture.
      So currently on pause still.

      I didn't find out I had osteoporosis until after I had already had several fractures, though at that point they were not confirmed. (I'd had one x-ray through a chiropractor; my doctor wasn't interested enough in my complaint of near chronic pain and an inch and a half of height loss to pursue it, and I didn't know, osteoporosis wasn't on my radar.) So I can confirm, well, actually I don't know if catching this 4 years ago (when I broke my wrist, and no one even whispered the O word, but I'm guessing the O in my spine was already "severe" because I now think I'd already fractured my sacrum, before I broke my wrist,) would have helped, except maybe I wouldn't have continued to try to fix it by trying to get stronger only to injure myself (fracture?) anew? I just don't know if drugs would've helped. But I know for sure, you don't want to be at the "multiple fracture, plus (now) 3 inches in height lost (I hope it's only 3, I'm afraid it might be more, now; I have been able to literally feel my upper torso descending into my pelvis/abdomen, and it's gotten worse just recently, with what I know is a new fracture (yet to be confirmed on x-ray, though, which...I have to go to urgent care and ask for,)...anyway, you don't want to get to this place. But are drugs the answer for someone like me? I'm willing to try, but our insurance denied Evenity--"not medically necessary". So I'm dabbling in Fosamax, not holding out much hope. Just praying I'll get past this new pain, and that I'll manage to not do "something stupid" for long enough to not feel like my life revolves around pain. (I'm 62. Too young to be "screened" for osteoporosis.)

    Hello, thank you very much for the great video. If only I had seen it earlier. I received the second dose of Prolia/Xgeva. After three days, the problems started. For a month now, l've had respiratory infections, fever, fatigue, and no appetite. Before taking the medication, I used to go to the gym, but now I can't do anything. I have cancer, including bone metastases.
    However, with targeted drug therapy, the cancer has regressed. At the last check-up, unfortunately, a brain tumor has appeared, although I was stable before Prolia. I'm only 40 years old. Can I now skip two trial injections without any problems?
    Thank you for your time.

    i'm 72 with a foot fracture due to an accident. Small boned and fair. Diagnosed with osteoporosis several years ago based on DEXA. My doc wants me on Forteo. But I did the research as I always do. The only downside he mentioned was the cost - not the increased risk of 3 different types of bone cancers, or other side effects. Or having to inject it daily for 18 months. I'm contacting Dr. Brown soon.

    I'm 71 years old and have broken over 12 different bones. I have broken my collarbones 6 times, 3 of them before i even started school. Now I have a plate and 6 screws holding my left collar bone together. My bones would not heal so they put some type of bone material and helped it heal. Instead of taking drugs, can they give me more of this material from someone else to help my bones go stronger? I eat healthy, exercise and take the normal vitamins plus K, and magnesium. My son has started to break bones too and he's 50 years old, but my 49-year-old daughter seems fine. for now. My grandkids are all over 18 now and starting to have great grandkids. What advise can you give all of them. Thanks, you for your help!

    I have fibromyalgia, diagnosed in 2007,but had it long before then. I was on Lyrica 4yrs developed bone pain, so stopped it. I was put on cymbalta- horrible drug, was on it one year. There was a 3 week period where it worked like a MIRACLE...then pooped out. I couldn't get off of it fast enough to save my sanity. Took me 16mos from start until I could tell it was out of my brain. Then I got a severe sinus infection, for 6wks. Sulfamethoxazole antibiotic nearly destroyed my stomach. NOW doc wants me to do Reclast infusion. I declined due to horrible reviews I read. Doc asked if I would be willing to take Boniva. I AM TERRIFIED due to ALL the different meds docs have experimented on me since diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Im dammed if I do & dammed if I dont.#AFRAID OF NEW MEDS!!!! I have osteoporosis. I want to trust in medicine- but my track record is poor! What to do???
    I was on Fosamax for 2+half yrs. Stopped because it hurt my stomach. Every med seems to cause stomach issues- & why side effects make me say NO!
