5.0 out of 5 stars My bones are grateful I read this book!, February 7, 2002
By Lisa (Toronto Canada) - See all my reviews
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!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Nutritional Resource - but not enough Strategy, June 30, 2000
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book - must reading for those with osteoporosis, June 13, 1998
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!
