I think what they really mean is...too much thyroid hormone causes bone

problems. haha. so does being hypo.

but when we see suppressed TSH being used in these reports ....there is the

assumption that the person is hyper....and we know that's not's true

necessarily....in fact some folks with suppressed TSH are still struggling with

hypo.

so ....it's all messed up, isn't it? and no wonder that doc wanted to cover

his butt.

but just wanted to clarify that it's not suppressed TSH per se that is the

problem....but being hyper is the problem with the bones.

have you studied this drug?

it does increase bone density...but doesn't make them stronger...i can't

remember all the particulars, but it actually can increase your risk of

fracture.

in fact that happened to my aunt after she started taking fosomax...and then

broke her wrist.

I just said " I told you so " .

I think I first read about Fosomax on Mercola's site...that would be a good

place to start.

thanks for the info.

I was just reading the other day about mammograms...and getting

radiation...which over time of course will probably cause cancer...and so I'm

just leary of

any radiation.

doing a search on the mercola site shows a lot of stuff for Fosomax..but

here's one blurb:

Dr. Lee is the physician who wrote " What Your Doctor May Not Tell You

About PRE Menopause " He is very strongly opposed to the use of Fosamax, and I

could not agree with him more on this issue. It is interesting that Merck, the

manufacturer of Fosamax, funded both of these studies and both appeared in two

well respected medical journals the same week.

Fosamax is in the same chemical class (phosphonate) that is used in the

cleaners used to remove soap scum from your bath tub. This is a metabolic poison

that actually kills the osteoclasts. These are the cells that remove your bone

so your osteoblasts can actually rebuild your bone.

It is quite clear that if you kill these cells your bone will get denser.

What these studies do not show is that four years later the bone actually

becomes

weaker even though it is more dense.

This is because bone is a dynamic structure and requires the removal and

REPLACEMENT of new bone to stay strong. Fosamax does NOT build ANY new bone. The

true solution, as I have reviewed in previous newsletters, is to go on natural

progesterone. One can review Dr. Lee's book for more information.
