Summary: If I could give it zero stars, I would
Comment: How ironic that ten years after the approval of Fosamax, we are now seeing the ACTUAL effects of this poison. Do yourself a favor...do your own research and don't believe the hype in this book. Sponataneous fractures of the femur, osteonecrosis of the jaw, atrial fibrillation. THESE are the REAL effects of Fosamax and other drugs in its class. Osteoporosis is caused by an imbalance in your diet. (acidosis) A chemist once told me a couple of years back when I asked her if she'd ever consider taking this class of drug, "I would never put that stuff in my body...it's poison." Read the chapter in "Overdosed America" about osteoporosis and this drug. It is NOT the cure...but it will, in time, prove to be worse than the disease for many who unsuspectingly and blindly trusted their doctors and the pharmaceutical companies. It's all about money. This is one of the most widely prescribed drugs in THE WORLD, and we are just now beginning to see the havoc it wreaks on the human body. It stays in your system for TEN YEARS after you've taken your last pill. It's all smoke and mirrors. It only LOOKS like your bone density is increasing because it causes inflammation. Please, do yourself a BIG FAVOR and take calcium citrate supplements in a two to one ratio with chelated magesium. Do weight bearing exercise, and DON'T PUT THIS POISON INTO YOUR BODY.

Summary: Some good information but....
Comment: You have to be suspicious of a book when it advertises a drug (Fosamax) on the front cover and promises a cure when there is no cure. I think the book also confuses bone density with bone strength and all too quickly recommends hormone treatment and Fosamax. Let the reader beware! I have ostopenia and osteoporosis by today's measurements.

Summary: Cure?
Comment: This book hypes new drugs and cures for and prevention of osteoporosis. Well, they may work, but I am proof that despite taking Fosamax for 7 years since before menopause, and other drugs as well (miacalcin), it isn't the cure for everyone and, in fact, my condition has worsened to the point of fracturing my spine when I coughed. I have ALWAYS exercised, weight trained, and have a farm with lots of inherent "weight training",etc., My diet is extremely healthy- no processed foods, etc. We are the guinea pigs of the epidemic of osteoporosis, and frankly, "they" don't know much yet. Unless you are truly ignorant of the subject, this book is not much help.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Osteoporosis doesn't have to happen to you!
Comment: This book is a real eye opener. I thought it was a disease that old folks got. Now I know I need to start a plan right away for myself and my children to make sure we prevent this disease. Great book, easy to read and the suggestions on prevention are now a part of our daily lives.

Summary: Best for Building Bones!
Comment: I'm technical writer with a broadband company in Atlanta, and had never heard of osteoporosis--until a bone density test showed I had osteoporosis at age 48. My bone density at that time was like a woman, age 65!! Imagine the fear I faced. My doctor put me on Fosamax and HRT. I started walking 5 days a week--started weight lifting every other day. I added calcium tablets and 2 more glasses of skim milk daily. Last year (2 years since I was diagnosed), my bone density had actually increased!! I'm stronger now--and more well-informed. This book confirmed what I was told--and what I did to save my bones. I hope it will help you, too.
