I am 69 yo I have been taking these meds since 1994 when a dexa scan showed osteoporosis. I have now suffered fx of all of my vertebrae except T4, and cervical spine. I also have Hashimotos. I ruptured my T 12 Dec 15, I can't get these doctors to listen to me. What can I do? I am miserable.

@Marion Cochrane my thoughts are with you and wish you a miracle

ya recon? Way to make money - but no money without the victims, uh, I mean patients.

I think FRAUDULENT might be a better word for it.

J.birdsong SO TRUE !

It reminds me of the whole " You gotta go on statins ( for high cholesterol) theme" Back in about the mid 1980s, a 300 count of cholesterol was considered a "high normal number". THEN they 'changed the math' and made 200 'normal' and 300 was suddenly "high cholesterol and potentially dangerous". Millions of people suddenly were 'diagnosed' with 'high cholesterol' and big pharma made off like bandits, as more and more doctors put their patients on those potentially dangerous 'statin' medications.( with dangers/side effects like liver damage, may cause diabetes, brain fog possibly leading to dementia in later years, diabetes, muscle weakness and loss etc.) In other words, ALL the side effects you're NOT told about, by your own doctor, when they prescribe these meds. ALL sorts of videos here on You Tube talk about this, too !

Have you tried D3/K2? THE K2, makes bones stronger

With magnesium.

I fail to understand how being petite makes your bones different.

@Jeanette Blankenship relates to FRAX score

Good for you. I took the meds for osteoporosis for a year then one week I had a pain in my thigh and jaw that woke me out of a deep sleep. I stopped taking the meds and have been taking Vit K2+M7. No more pain in my thigh or my jaw.

I started taking B-12 injections twice a month because I have pernicious anemia and was always fatigued. Blood tests always came back roughly normal for everything. I researched what my blood levels were for many things, found out the doctor that does my labs does a very general report (Veterans Admin. doctors) and just looked at the typical range for inactive males, wow, so relevant I thought to myself. After I took 2-3 B-12 shots every 10-15 days, I started to feel like I was 20 years old again. It's been amazing.

@Dolores Chansey Which type of b12 did you take? A lot of doctors won't prescribe shots taken more than once a month, if at all.

You go girl! That's awesome 😎

I'm 54- take no meds except a weekly HCQ. You're my new heroine!

Lol 😮

You are a strong woman Barb, mentally and physically... stick to your guns 😊

Me too! I’m 62

@jessw6617 thank you so much for your kind words. I feel so much stronger with all of you! I feel like we're standing strong together ❤️

@Barb H Amen!!! My mom took a very bad tumble at age 75 and fell very hard on her hips, but she didn’t so much as even have a fracture!!! AND, the doctors said she had weak bones too!! We laugh now at how strong we know her bones _really_ are!! ❤ She exercises (nothing too strenuous, LOL), lifts weights at the gym with my dad, and I’d say about 90% of her diet is whole, unprocessed food, with lots of veggies. My dad is the challenge, because he’s always wanting to eat out, and he likes to sneak sweets, etc at the store. 🤪

Great story.....I hear you!!!

Yes, the less the doc's drugs, the better… none is the best. I had a bone density test 10 years ago, which showed a very bad score. At the time I was taking clonazepam for sleep and omeprazole for stomach acid. Looking back, I realize they made me stiff and anxious. Because all drugs are acidic, they are very bad for bones. Bones love an alkaline diet.

The cholesterol medication is very dangerous, and I celebrate your choices! I'm 65, no medications, and rowing/yoga every day. Take care, from Canada.

I am 71 yo, on no medication at all! Feel perfectly fine, work all day long, eat modestly, no overweight, what else...? If we look at the main health problems nowadays, there are many "illnesses" which are used to scaremonger the patients and to make them use medications (high BP, increased stroke risk in AF patients, glaucoma, preventive prostate medications, ...). Not to mention chronic disease...

Thank you, I am vegan too and have been diagnosed with severe osteoporosis and I have had four compression fractures in my spine but I refuse to take the medication. I joined a gym and I’m doing silver sneakers exercises five days a week for an hour a day, and I am walking 3 to 4 miles a day with my dog, and that’s going to have to do it for me. Eating a healthy diet and trying to gain a little weight for my bones.

❤

I’m so sorry 💕

I'm sorry to hear that :( Mainstream medical is dangerous! No one taught us (I'm a nurse, and also a patient of multi-level gaslighting which is rampant) about the importance of K2. Ayyyy. I'm so sorry :(

My partner also had renal failure after prostate cancer , however he did not drink calcium the radiation mushed his renal pipes to the kidneys, 10 years later

Too late now for him, but The Calcium Paradox is worth reading.

Vibration machine? Can a massage gun such as Theragun give the same benefit as a vibration machine?

@Dandeli0n Hmm, maybe? I would think you would have to use it all over your body though? With the vibration machine, my mom just stands on it while she watches TV. I do know NASA employs one to help keep the astronauts from losing bone mass when in space, so there’s definitely something to them! Best of luck to you! 🙏🏻

@Peace is Yeshua 💜✝️ Couid you pls share the brand and model your mum uses? Thanks. Looking for one for my own mum then. :)

HRT is excellent for women. Don’t knock it.

Thanks for your kind words! So glad my info is helping you! Make sure to pay it forward by sharing it with someone you care about! #save100millionlives

will do ... stay awesome ... cheers.

Me too I was diagnosed recently and I knew I didn't want to rely on the medications I want to heal my bones naturally ♥️♥️♥️ from what I've learned about the medications there's more downsides to upsides in the upside is artificial and still risky

so fun to hear all these great examples. when you really start examining the medical business, you can see it’s all about marketing techniques and misinformation

But the doctors are taught to prescribe prescriptions for everything. Just the warnings on the literature should be enough to scare us off but we also have been lied to since an early age.

@Linda Aurand i go to doctors to find out what is wrong. Then when I go home. I go to acupuncturist or naturopathic dr or I heal myself. Of course I will need to take medicine if necessary. But if not necessary and if I feel dr cares more about making money for their job or for pharmaceutical companies, I would not listen to them. This life is a fallen world. Everybody is about their own profits.

He is not a medical doctor, he has his PhD in Philosophy. So yes, he can be called "Doctor" but I wouldn't listen to his so-called medical advice!

@Lauran Curtis i listen to my body. Our body is intelligent. Thank you.

@Inna Fuksina I read that Vitamin K assists with bone density....it is apparently found in lettuce, kale and other greeneries......so I am very happy to eat lettuce.....😂

Don’t forget the Boron with D3 and K2

​​@Patricia P. Please is there a good supplement to suggest with these ingredients?

@Maria Μ# I take 200 I.U.’s of D3 along with K2, 100mg. and Boron 3mg. with my biggest meal of the day. I take an extra K2 at breakfast. Jarlsburg cheese is full of K2, also. I also take a multivitamin every morning. It’s a product from Puritans Pride made especially for women.

Walking is the best exercise.

Good choice! You are still very young.😊

I'm not sure how old we were but it was about 30 years ago when the doctor read the scan and said I had the bones of a 95 yr old. I just didn't believe him. Several weeks later a girlfriend was shocked to hear she had the bones of a 95 yr old. I mentioned it to my sister and she said the same thing. Not all the same doctors either. Same happened with mammograms. My sister was flipping out and I told her I got one of those letters too. I stopped getting mammograms. This was like 30 years ago too.

@Nancy Fahey oh wow I have heard scary things like that about doctors patience but I do trust my doctor. I know why I develop osteoporosis so my dexa scan results really didn't shock me but they did make me so sad and disappointed in myself, after you got your dexa scan results what did you do? But that doctor tell you to get on medication did you treat your bones naturally? It's been about a year later since I was diagnosed it's still so much I need to learn I think I've made some progress change my diet doing strength training taking supplements I'm just hoping so much in my heart that everything I'm doing is helping my bones I'm not able to get another dexa scan until next year

Thank you elena , I’m on oestrogen suppressors as I’ve has breast cancer , I was wondering what I should do ,

​@Christine Beames I would seek out a Naturopath!

@Christine Beames I'm very sorry dear Christine. Someone here advised you to communicate to Naturopath. I would do the same! My friend had stage 4 cancer , she did the same and stopped the disease.Unfortunately, I don't know how she is doing now since she moved to Greece. I wish you to find a decent help. All the best to you. 🙋🏼‍♀️ Ps.”Show me what you eat and I'll tell you what you're sick of.”Hippocrates

So glad to help you Jennifer!

I too have severe scoliosis. I have done yoga for almost 50 years and also my job involves heavy lifting. I really think these two things have helped me be able to move and stay strong. Yes my scan led my Dr. to suggest I get on Prolia... I chose a "Thanks but NO THANKS"

I am age 72 and have hqd osteopenia and osteoporosis for some years due to a total hysterectomy at age 36 due to severe endometriosis and fibroids. I have been successful in restricting my bone mass by 6& through using functional medicine, a nutrient rich dietary protocol AND bio-identical hormones. I have worked hard for a number of years to improve my bone health. I also do a lot of walking and weight bearing exercises. You can improve if you have the right physician and willing to do the hard work needed.

@Donna Allgaier-Lamberti what are bio, identical, h What are bio identical hormones? I am in my 70s, and I refuse to go on Prolia or anything else. Can you tell me what you are taking? I just had a shoulder replacement and I need new knees lol. Falling apart, had hysterectomy at 35.

I guess this is the 70+ severe scoliosis club. In my early 50’s, with an Osteopenia diagnosis, I was put on Forteo for two years. 20 years later I been told I have the big O, but have refused anything else. Apparently that was the right thing to do. I do take RX vitamin D. Thank you SO much for the video.

I'm in the exact same condition as you and refuse the drugs. Glad to know I'm not alone in this battle.

Interesting to hear that the meds did not change your numbers. That for me is the biggest reason not to take those meds.

You are lucky. I took this evil medicine and my joints all hurt and larger.

@真真善美 😢

😊

Not going for any bone testing ever again. Was prescript Aclasta and had side effects for one year. Cost me a lot of money to get over it. On top of it my dentist won’t pull any teeth and have to go to a specialist with much higher costs.

@hildegard stratkotter I had it too! It was the most painful procedure I ever endured and it didn't help! Recently had a DEXA Scan which was worse than my last one. Now that I know what it's all about I will rely only on diet and excercise! I'm not going back to my rheumatologist!

How do we keep the bones around our teeth from losing mass? Chew gum? Do you know?

​@Winnie Cash the best way is to have a robust cleaning technique (not heavy, but detailed). Periodontal bone loss has more to do with debris, plaque, and poor oral hygiene (ie less than optimal oral hygiene) than any other single cause. Mechanical removal is the answer. Matter left behind or missed by the tooth brush or floss creates an auto immune response that creates the eventual bone loss. Tooth support structure is the only place in the body where mounted infection response doesn't wash infection away (compare with say, a splinter in your finger, which will eventually be ejected). As I used to tell my patients... you only floss the teeth you want to keep! Hope that helps. Depending on conditions, visit a hygienist (might need an annual visit or one every 3 months... can't tell! 😉)

@HotYogaDoctor thank you for responding. I understand.

At 77 yrs old I was put on bisphosphonates for 7 weeks but had severe pain in my backside and thighs so my young keen doctor put me on prolia without any explanation. Since, I have done a lot of research and found numerous friends on prolia have had many and severe fractures. One had a complete lower jaw replacement because of osteonecrosis. Thanks soooo much for this information. Will come off prolia and have an intense chat with my recently graduated doctor!

I'm 74 with scoliosis- I refuse all pharmaceutical and supplement with sunshine and movement- sitting is the new cancer... and no TV till nighttime. great info dr. Osborne! thank you!

Fosamax ended up messing up my stomach. Quit and recouped but taking acid reducer every day. I just have to be careful. Broke a few toes😂😂but when I fell in a groundhog hog, didn't break anything just a bad sprain.

I had the same experience the thymlos was the injection… it made me dizzy with heart palpitations…

What side effects did you have from prolea

I think meds. Are dangerous Thank you.

@Janet Panks agreed.

I had the same experience. I took Prolia for 4 years. I later learned that it's only meant to be given for a short time!

All the best to you. I hope your bones getting stronger and more flexible.

All the best to you. I hope your bones getting stronger and more flexible.

Years ago, after a DEXA scan, my Dr. prescribed Fosamax. Three months later, I had extremely weakened quads, I had difficulty walking up stairs and stooping. Then a few months after that, my family began noticing I seemed to be depressed and not as happy as I usually am. That was a wake-up for me to really pay attention to what was happening to my body. I stopped taking the Fosamax. Within a short span, my mood was back to normal, but it took, I would say a good 2 years before my legs didn't feel like lead. D3-K2 and Magnesium for me. My current dr wants me to get a scan and I refused with a hard "no".

I know how you feel, I’m 57, and have started to fracture ( spontaneously) in my thoracic spine!!! I’m so scared to lift my arms, swim, or my daily living, osteoporosis is real!!!

I am 79, soon to be 80. My Rheumatologist said to me, “if you were my mother, I wouldnt ask you to take Prolia, I would just jab you”. I had a DEXA scan two years ago and nothing has actually changed in my bone density, but it is noted that even if the bone density hasnt improved it hasnt worsened. I swing Kettlebells 3 x weekly, and apart from an ageing body, I dont have pain or am unable to walk. I deadlifted 32kgs which caused a stress fracture, possibly because I have Osteoporosis, my Rheumatologist posed the question “how many times do you have to break a bone before you’ll agree to taking Prolia”? I have refused.

I take D3K2 magnesium, I walk 10pound weight vest, go work out at Osteo Strong and stand on a MOVE vibrating plate,,perfect bones at 69, perfect balance, I never fall…even just try standing on each leg every day!

@Pionus I wanted to use a vibration plate but since I have a hip replacement I was told no bc people with joint replacement shouldn’t use them.

Reclass almost killed me. When I took the transfusion I wasn't feeling good, I had tingling and numbness. I felt tired, and lightheaded. I had an appt to see my rhumotogist for routine checkup a week later, and told him what I was experiencing, and he said it had nothing to do with Reclass..after my visit I had the usual blood work done, driving home I felt worse, and blew 2 tires out because my judgment was off, and I cut too close to a pot hole, but it gets better. After getting towed home, I get a phone call from my Dr. to get to the hospital right away to have another test..It seems after the Reclass my bones sucked up all the calcium, and there was no calcium in my bloodstream. I avoided the hospital stay by having calcium infusions two nights in a row in Emergency unit..I was there 4 hrs both nights. That was 12 years ago, and funny how no mention of me having these bone medications again from my D.., in fact after having bone density tests done since then, I have improved in some areas..Weight bearing exercises is the answer.. The crappy part is that Reclass did have these known sides effects, and my Dr. Said it wasn't the Reclass. I just started taking Collagen peptides with MSM and I'm do for another bone density, I can't wait to see the results, but after this story, it will be my last bone density. I also started taking vit D3 with Vit k 2 combo. Please be careful..Its a damn shame we put so much trust in our Drs, because we think they really care about us. It's all about the money..Thank goodness we have Dr's like this one telling us the truth.

​@Jan C thank you for sharing your interesting experiences Jan, so glad you got through the Dr rubbish and saw the light. Best of health to you 😊

@Jan C I'm not sure it's that the docs don't care, I think its more that they are simply unaware!

Sooo, Dr. Peter Osborne, what are your thoughts on frame size, bone size ???

Standard sized on average throughout is my thought. Never heard any anthropologist having dug up old bones saying ooh big boned or small boned. As a kid of 14 in school I always remember a ‘larger’ girl telling me she’d got big bones and that I’d never have kids as I was skinny therefore small boned despite being 5’10” lol. But.. turned out she was right in one aspect.. 46yrs later still no kids.. but why? simple.. contraception 😂 Back to subject on hand.. yep, stress your bones then they’ll build strength, don’t use them you’ll use them.

@Carol Waller I don't think you study/read to much.

@Loretta McGee feel free to think as you wish my dear, you are not me and you know not the slightest thing about me.

Your story mirrors mine - received a letter stating I have osteo In both hips, neck, lower back and to go on a medication Alendronic acid 70mg weekly. Plus vitamin D and calcium. Yet another medication I am reluctant to take until I do my full research.

BEWARE OF FOSAMAX!!! Back in 2016, my family dr. gave me Fosamax to treat BONE DENSITY LOSS. As soon as I took a very small pill , I suffered a painfull health crisis that sent Me to the hospital. At the hospital , the dr. Told Me that my leg bones almost broke down.

Thankyou for sharing. Hope you are feeling better!!

What about taking calcium and k2D3... why don't doctors talk about nutrition either

👍👏😊

I developed metformin induced lactic acidosis. It almost killed me.

Yes please do, my brother has been on metformin for two years now.

The Life Extension organization has done a lot of research on metformin.

Oh yes you are so right and make so much sense. I'd love to watch his video on diabetics and metformin..... Dr. Osborne ROCKS! Some doctors loose our respect, others win us over with flying colors and we esteem and respect them so very much. Don't we?

Yes and I researched the history of xrays and it's horrifying how dangerous they really are.

Look into supplementation with vitamins D3 AND K2 (Mk-7 type), this combination directs calcium to places where you WANT it (teeth and bones) and stops calcium from going where you do not want it (veins and arteries).

UR orrect my friend!!! Also use collagen not calcium...

Good for you Patti, you give have given me a push and look fwd to receiving results like yours 😊

@Jess w as

You may have some arthritis

Good for you! The only med I take is thyroid medicine. I'm trying to get off of that.

I'm in my 60s too. I noticed all my friends are on the common typical over 50 meds but look & feel bad.

I was told at 30 that my spine was see thru by a chiropractic pretreatment x ray. They refused to touch me. What!? I'm 30? I was strong as a horse. Petite but plenty of muscle mass and worked and exercised hard daily. I'm now 67 over the past few years since menopause I've been on numerous meds that have only made me sicker. I took the Fosamax for a few years before having my teeth removed. This caused serious issues getting my teeth out. The ones with caps and crowns were attached to my jaw bone with bone build up. No one said this could happen. Now I'll need more surgery just to make my dentures fit. I'm now told I have severe scoliosis along with degenerative arthritis of the spine as well as osteoporosis. Good grief!

@Bonnie Thompsonso sorry to hear all of this, of course I don't know all the details but I would get away from those doctors and people as quickly as I could, clearly they are not acting in your best interest. If you absolutely have to have the teeth work finished then finish it and run as fast as you can away from.

To Blue Raven I was diagnosed with osteoporosis a year or two ago. I am 66. I go cross country skiing and even went downhill skiing when I was 65. I lived in a winter that often lasted 6 months ( Canada). No broken bones with falls. I am thankful to God of course. I have never taken the drugs . About 10 years ago I was out on desiccated thyroid and some bio identical hormones. I am doing my best to find the right diet for me. I do not do well on the vegan😂 diet . My body seems to require more protein and fat as wheat is something my body doesn’t seem to do well on . Doesn’t do well on wheat or beans and lentils. Really wonder if it’s all the years that we didn’t get enough sunlight in the northern climate. The problem was lack of vitamin D. where I live vitamin D tests are free if you have Osteopenia or osteoporosis.

Yes Jesus is Lord. 😊

They just started giving my mom injections at 75 after scan. 😭. My mom is not active at all and she would never listen to me either way

I want to be like your mother!

@Annette Genovesi Me too!
