When I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis and told to get a prescription for a couple drugs that promote bone density, I tried them but quickly quit because they made me feel worse. I experienced side effects that I did not want such as pain in my legs and thighs and sometimes my leg even locking up on me. Then my doctor advised me to take Prolia, a shot every 6 months. I didn't do that because it even had worse side effects!
I was thrilled to come across this book which gives an alternative to taking the prescription drugs to strengthen bones. It contains diet information, exercises specifically geared to building bone density and lots of practical things to do to improve bone health without prescription drugs based on lots of scientific research! I recommend it to anyone who is dealing with Osteoporosis. (Karen's review)
