Osteoporosis drugs do not work for the long haul because they do nothing for the formation of new, strong bone. The drugs for osteoporosis inhibit the breakdown and removal of older bone, thus allowing the skeleton to retain more older, weaker bone material. After 3-5 years, the incidence of hip and other serious fractures begins to increase. These side effects can be serious for you. Older, brittle bones may be strong enough to withstand fractures in the spine, but they do not maintain sufficient tensile strength to prevent worse fractures like those in the hip. Additionally, this type of inefficient treatment does not address the underlying cause of osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis drugs (bisphosphonates) do not cure osteoporosis, despite the glowing ads claiming that you can take one pill a month and be cured. Bone is a living, breathing tissue, constantly changing, nourishing, and replenishing itself – much different from the public’s perception of bone as rock-like.
Osteoporosis drugs (bisphosphonates) such as Fosamax®, Actonel®, Boniva®, Aredia® and Didronel® interfere with your bone’s ability to continuously clear away old, brittle, diseased bone and replace it with new, strong, functional bone. This can only lead to disaster because the drugs maintain old, brittle and diseased bone on your skeleton and the longer you take these drugs, the more brittle and weak your skeleton will become. These drugs are a dead-end for all these reasons and the cut-off point is approximately five years before your skeleton simply breaks down. Older brittle bones may be strong enough to withstand fractures in the spine, but they do not maintain sufficient tensile strength to prevent worse fractures in the hip.
If I knew this years ago, so did everyone else. However, the billions of dollars in sales of bone density screenings and osteoporosis drugs goes on anyway.
You may be saying, “How can it be?” These drugs do not cure osteoporosis? These drugs are very dangerous? These drugs cause permanent rotting of the jawbone in some women (because they disrupt the removal of old, brittle and diseased bone)? These drugs cause serious, traumatic fractures of the hip when taken beyond four to five years?
Yes, yes, yes, and yes. We now know all this is 100% true. It is a known fact that some women suffer from permanent osteonecrosis (rotting) of the jawbone. Reports that severe traumatic fractures of the hip occur while simply standing have been published. In 2005, the Journal of Clinical Endoncrinology & Metabloism published cases of spontaneous traumatic hip fractures following Fosamax® use and in 2007, the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery reported the same thing.
In 2008, the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma reported that Fosamax® caused spontaneous, severe hip fractures in women who took the drug for more than five years. The fractures occurred in the femur (large leg bone that attaches to the pelvis at the hip joint) and in many cases the fractures were preceded by weeks or months of aching in the thigh bone. Almost all fractures occurred spontaneously while standing or walking!
Bisphosphonates are deposited onto the bones and accumulate there for years. This makes the bones more brittle and impairs the body’s ability to repair bone damage and build strong bones, eventually leading to fractures. It is ironic because Fosamax® and all the other osteoporosis drugs are given to prevent fractures. Yet now we know they can turn your skeleton to glass and actually cause fractures.
Osteoporosis screening and treatments are scams because all tests are based on bone density, with no attention paid to bone strength. This concept is completely wrong and it is designed to sell drugs. As with all things in medicine, just follow the money. Beyond the money, this scam continues because most American women cannot face the reality that their osteoporosis is caused by poor diet, lack of minerals, hormonal imbalances, and lack of exercise. After all, it is so much easier to take one pill a month!
How You Can Cure Your Osteoporosis?
The right diet, and especially the right supplements, combined with strong resistance exercise (lifting weights) will build bone more quickly and powerfully than any other medical treatment ever designed. This is a critical concept because untreated osteoporosis can ruin your life. It is a dreadful, ugly, deforming disease that can wrack you with endless pain. It can result in drug dependence, addiction and even death.
If you have osteoporosis you may as well accept the fact that medical treatment is a dead-end. The only chance you have is to start eating healthfully, take the right supplements and start lifting weights. If you think that exercising cannot build bone, ponder the fact that the dominant arm of a professional tennis player has 35% more bone density than the other arm – all from exercise!
The great news is that we can help you treat the cause of osteoporosis and in doing so, get your cure. Start getting strong and more independent. Start feeling 20 years younger. Start today!
