This review is from: Osteoporosis: The Alternatives, a Guide to Myth and Reality, Hype and Facts (Paperback)

when Eva Snead researches a topic she does it thoroughly. this work is a comprehensive examination of BOTH convential/ allopathic and alternative/ natural approaches to prevention and treatment.Unlike many other authors of wholistic bent she gives credit to orthodox physicians and scientists when due and she also challenges some accepted 90's "natural" hype when it isn't backed up by good research or might pose a risk for the consumer. It is a very technical disussion but just when it might get too dry eva provides some witism for which she is famous.And she always makes sure to translate medicalese into laymans language for the reader's benefit.There is a wonderful explanation of chelation therapy, another of cellular electron bond/ionization/free radical theory. She handles diet and other environmental contributors to bone health. 27 pages of references from peer review publications and a terrific glossary of 15 pages.And an encouraging summary that explains that this scourge of osteoporosis is not just treatable but even reversible.
