Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Hi everybody, Most RA sufferers face a bone density problem (osteoporosis) due to the side effects of many RA drugs such as prednisone, methotrexate etc. Physicians automatically write a prespriction such as fosomax, to compensate for the problem. As most of you know, these drugs are a very poor solution, expensive, and carry their own side effects and risks. According to government statistics, 12 % of fosomax users required medical treatment for the side effects and of those 14 % had to be hospitalized ! My wife has been on prednisone for over two years. To prevent osteoporosis, she took strontium, a natural, inexpensive mineral related to calcium. Since it is a natural substance, nobody can get a patent on it and charge outrageous prices. As a consequence, it is not advertised and hardly known. Strontium is a completely safe treatment and gets results. My wife was able to prevent any osteoporosis even at her age of 73. Anybody needing to prevent or treat osteoporosis should read the excellent article STRONTIUM AND BONE HEALTH by Ward Dean, MD at vrp.com/newsletter.asp#2 Strontium is used either as the carbonate or other salts such as gluconate. It is available from several sources but we have used the VITAMIN RESEARCH PRODUCT ( $ 20 per month )with great success. We have no connection to this company other than believing it is a reliable high quality supplier.( 800-877-2447). Good health, and nne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
