5.0 out of 5 stars The only book you will need on the subject, 17 Dec 2007
By V. Vaughan (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having recently been diagnosed with Osteoporosis unexpectedly in my 30s I was desperate for information on the subject and rushed out and bought a number of books. I wanted one that didnt feel as though it was aimed solely at post menopausal women as many are (this book is perfect no matter what age you are). This was by far the best and most informative of all the books I have looked at. It is really clear and well written and the chapters on medication and supplements are really fantastic. I would recommend this book to anybody wishing to inform themselves about Osteoporosis no matter what age you are, it gives you all the information you could possibly need to live with, manage and improve the condition in a very readable format.

2.0 out of 5 stars Predictable!, 24 April 2009
By Mr. M. A. Nelson (UK, Cambs) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book adds nothing to the knowledge of Osteoporosis and still reinforces stereotypes of it only affects post hormonal women but says its getting more of an issue.

It misses the point - Osteoporosis does affect people MEN and women in their 30's and younger. and omits to mention the BEST check to osteoporosis are dentists who if they mention bone loss - its NOT due to lack of flossing in the under 60"S it is a precursor to osteoporosis!

I am a Man who got osteoporosis in my 30's and all I remember is my dentist telling me off for not flossing as I had bone loss (I was more than he did) - had stereotypes been washed away and more awareness given on i then many more can be picked up before it becomes and issue.

This book simply reinforces stereotypes and suggests some 'trendy' reasons why its becoming more widespread but omits that its getting Men and much younger people too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening, 5 April 2009
By Angela Arnold (Dorset, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having recently been diagnosed with severe Osteoporosis and only really finding literature from the USA of any use but the products recommended hard to obtain, it was wonderful to suddenly find something written here in Great Britain and with the recommendations obtainable. This book is extremely informative and easy to read unlike some books you find, not only that, it also gives you hope of beating this this thing rather than just accepting it. It is a must, really, for all woman of any age and indeed, any male who is looking to keep himself ahead of the things likeky to attack his joints/bones, Osteoporisis is not limited to just females. There is a need to read and to understand just what is going on with-in and respecting the needs of our bodies more. it has certainly opened my eyes.
