My bones are grateful I read this book!,
By Lisa (Toronto Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Preventing and Reversing Osteoporosis: What You Can Do About Bone Loss - A Leading Expert's Natural Approach to Increasing Bone Mass (Paperback)
This book offers advice that you won't hear from the average doctor. Every patient with osteoporosis has already heard the advice "take more calcium and excercise more", but this author suggests that in addition to adhering to that advice, folks should also take additional mineral supplements (including strontium, boron, and several others, many of which the author documents to be at least as important as calcium in building bone density). The author also explains exactly why progesterone (not progestin) is a good thing to take and documents its lack of side effects (which I'm happy to report has been my experience). No one had ever told me there are natural compounds other than calcium which are important (perhaps crucial!) to building and maintaining strong bones. I am so grateful I stumbled upon this book.I found out at age 28 that I had osteoporosis. Within a couple of years of reading this book and following its advice, my bones have actually become denser and I have had no fractures. I am happy to say that thanks to this author I have been able to avoid taking bone-building drugs, many of which can have strong side effects. Your bones will thank you for reading this book!!

You CAN prevent and reverse osteoporosis.,
By
This review is from: Preventing and Reversing Osteoporosis: What You Can Do About Bone Loss - A Leading Expert's Natural Approach to Increasing Bone Mass (Paperback)
The essential ingredients for preventing and reversing osteoporosis are nutrition and exercise. But far too many people are led to believe that the only nutrient required is calcium. In this excellent book Dr. Gaby -- a highly-regarded nutritional expert -- points out the importance of other nutrients including magnesium, boron, vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals. If you are serious about preventing or reversing osteoporosis I beg you to read this book and follow Dr. Gaby's advice.

Excellent book - must reading for those with osteoporosis,
By ao@bresnanlink.net (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Preventing and Reversing Osteoporosis: What You Can Do About Bone Loss - A Leading Expert's Natural Approach to Increasing Bone Mass (Paperback)
This book is well written, well referenced, comprehensive, thoughtful, and very valuable for anyone with osteoporosis. It's packed with useful information that makes a difference and goes far beyond the standard medical blather of eating dairy products, taking 1500 mg. of calcium a day, taking estrogen, and exercising (and being no more specific than that). Read this book!
