PREVENTING AND REVERSING OSTEOPOROSIS: What You Can Do About Bone Loss--A Leading Expert's Natural Approach to Increasing Bone Massby Alan Gaby

Every patient with osteoporosis has already heard the advice "take more calcium and exercise more", but this author suggests that in addition to adhering to that advice, women should 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.

BUILDING BONE VITALITY

This is the best book that I have found for explaining the benefits of an alkaline diet ...a diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. A friend has used this strategy very successfully in his osteoporosis treatment program.

THE MYTH OF OSTEOPOROSIS by Gillian Sanson

The primary message in The Myth of Osteoporosis is that the DXA scan for bone density is inadequate and may cause an over-diagnosis of osteoporosis. She argues that the problem with DXA is threefold. It:

• measures the quantity of the bone only and not the quality which is a better indicator of fracture risk
• uses the peak bone mass of a young, white woman as the reference point
• is unreliable because there is no international normal reference standard for DXA machines-so results vary between machines, regions and countries.
