Solved: The Riddle of Osteoporosis

Rating:
Summary: A *MUST* for anyone who has osteoporosis or is at risk!
Review: At 28, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis with no known cause (no thyroid probs, no steroid use, no family history of it either). This book explained which vitamins can help prohibit the body from absorbing calcium, which ones help, and actually gave specifics in terms anyone can understand about how much vitamins to take, when, which foods have them, etc. It's a wonderful book and has really enlightened me. I had a lot of anemia-like symptoms growing up, yet I was never tested positive for iron-deficiency - on a fluke, a dr discovered I was zinc anemic! This book explains how a zinc deficiency can contribute to osteoporosis - I never knew that and have yet to find another book that talks about it either. I haven't seen this book in any vitamin stores, yet I have found it in herbal shops - but they're usually ratty from everyone flipping thru them. If you only get one book as a reference about osteoporosis - this is the one to get - and for a nice price, too!
