I am a long time user of "lymphology" developed by Dr Samuel West which began as rebounding and I also use one of Dan Dial's Molecular Enhancers, and have just started with whole body vibration using a piece of equipment I purchased from West's son, Karl who is continuing the work. I also look at the range of factors in bone health and have done so for decades.<br />The problem with Forteo is that it is a fluoride based pharmaceutical that does not promote healthy bones like natural medicine do.<br />GUT health is important especially in the large intestine, nutrition and supplementation make a major difference as does having healthy fat in your diet.<br />Thanks for reading, and your comments, keep skating...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073710851277872074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9593302.post-24711548218315364762010-04-23T22:15:22.501-07:002010-04-23T22:15:22.501-07:00A few points to consider - DpD only indicates curr...A few points to consider - DpD only indicates current bone loss. There are so many factors regarding bone loss - including; those who never gained peak bone mass for multiple reasons - eating disorders or simply not eating well during formative years. On occasion I work with patients who have advanced bone loss (one patient was breaking a bone once a month) for which Forteo makes sense - sometimes the benefits outweigh the risks. I only order the DpD and PtH - intact when the DEXA warrants further investigation such as a -2.5 T score (30% less than the average 35 y/o). While DEXAs are not perfect I have been working with this technology for 15 years and feel that in the right hands, it is a good tool. Most importantly, the nutritional advise that you talk about is right on. I am also excited about whole body vibration and I am researching it now for myself and for my patients. There is a lot to sort out here too - right frequency, amplitude etc. In the near future I will offer a free webinar on the topic and will have one of the top researchers on with me.<br /><br />Bone is quite complex - I also feel that digestive disorders are at the root of many cases involving active bone loss.<br /><br />I could go on but.....<br /><br />PS - I have borderline osteoporosis, am 60 years old and still roller-skate <br /><br />Warmly,<br /><br />Lani Simpson, DC<br />www.LaniSimpson.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16584320627941449192noreply@blogger.com
