Summary: Bone Density Test are important
Review: I did not know what a bone density test was until I picked this little book up at an airport. May be the best purchase I ever made. I read it on the way home and decided I was at risk for osteoporosis. My mother had it and my grandmother. I am 45 and had an early menopause. I made the appointment for the bone density test and to my surprise I have low bone density. This book saved my life. Easy to read and describes the risk factors very clearly as well as the latest treatments. Thanks!

Summary: This book tells all about Fosamax--and it really builds bone
Review: I have been on Fosamax for the past 8 months. In this time, my bones have become stronger and have even gained 3 percent more bone as measured by a bone density test. I saw this book on the Internet and ordered it. It is easy to read and understand and tells HOW osteoporosis destroys bone and HOW Fosamax builds bone again to prevent fractures. FOSAMAX SAVED MY LIFE! I'm not afraid to be active again, and this book explains all about it.

Summary: My 86 year old mother is proof, Fosamax works!
Review: I was so excited to see this book, THE CURE! My mom has had two hip replacements and is 86 years old. She was in a clinical trial using Fosamax before it came out and is still on it. In the past year she had a 5% increase in her bone density and no hip fractures in 5 years! It is amazing and now all can read about new medications as well as how diet and exercise can save your parents life. Osteoporosis is painful and hip fractures can cause death!

Summary: Osteoporosis doesn't have to happen to you!
Review: I'm technical writer with a broadband company in Atlanta, and had never heard of osteoporosis--until a bone density test showed I had osteoporosis at age 48. My bone density at that time was like a woman, age 65!! Imagine the fear I faced. My doctor put me on Fosamax and HRT. I started walking 5 days a week--started weight lifting every other day. I added calcium tablets and 2 more glasses of skim milk daily. Last year (2 years since I was diagnosed), my bone density had actually increased!! I'm stronger now--and more well-informed. This book confirmed what I was told--and what I did to save my bones. I hope it will help you, too.

Summary: Finally . . . THE CURE for fractures
Review: READ THIS BOOK. It changed the way I saw my future--with two sisters and a mother with osteoporosis, I KNEW I was doomed. I started Fosamax last year when it came out (at age 56). It does work. Reading this book just CONFIRMED that this drug is the miracle CURE for osteoporosis!! Pass it on to a friend--and tell the friend to teach her children to take care of their BONES. If only people would get educated about diseases, we could live longer--without spending millions on healthcare. This book will definitely educate you!

Summary: I can garden without fear of falling! That's GOOD NEWS.
Review: Thank you for the excellent information on Fosamax. My doctor recommended this drug for my osteoporosis last year but I was hesitant. Once I read this book and saw that it may improve my bone density, I tried it. I'm EXCITED to tell you--my bone density is now greater than it was in May. I now garden in the morning without fear of tripping. This medicine gave me my life back--and I'm so thankful. This book gave me the confidence needed to start living again!!! Read it!

Summary: Cure?
Review: This book hypes new drugs and cures for and prevention of osteoporosis. Well, they may work, but I am proof that despite taking Fosamax for 7 years since before menopause, and other drugs as well (miacalcin), it isn't the cure for everyone and, in fact, my condition has worsened to the point of fracturing my spine when I coughed. I have ALWAYS exercised, weight trained, and have a farm with lots of inherent "weight training",etc., My diet is extremely healthy- no processed foods, etc. We are the guinea pigs of the epidemic of osteoporosis, and frankly, "they" don't know much yet. Unless you are truly ignorant of the subject, this book is not much help.
