Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
An excellent book on how to deal with osteoporosis -- and does not have to be for women only as men also get osteoporosis. Lots of good advice. One of four books I purchased on the subject and each has a slightly different slant so all are helpful.

My bones are grateful I read this book!
7 Feb 2002
Format: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!!

A Good Nutritional Resource - but not enough Strategy
1 July 2000
Format:Paperback
This is an excellent resource geared toward a nutritional approach to osteoporosis and bone health. Gaby delves in detail into each vitamin and mineral (and hormone) crucial to the building and maintaining of bone, sometimes exhaustively. He cites numerous nutritional studies from reputable medical journals and builds a comprehensive vision of nutrition's role in the prevention or reversal of this terrible condition. What this book isn't, is a holistic program for osteoporosis. Gaby only cursorily mentions the role of exercise and spends less time on the various medications available than other resources. Still, since supplementation, other than calcium and Vitamin D, is often not accorded the role it deserves, this book serves a vital role for persons with this disease. A good investment.

Excellent book - must reading for those with osteoporosis
14 Jun 1998
Format: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!
