Femara, prolia injections osteo

Thank you Robyn and Kath I'm definately one for researching now I'll read it and take the extras I believe it's sure a minefield post active surgery chemo and radio hugs 

I guess I've got to weigh up my options thank you 

Sorry to hear that Sandra I hope you get some relief soon 

Thank you 

Thank you that's good to know 

Thank you Linda 

Thank you Brenda I hope your dad improves 

I looked up this book and was alarmed at some of the claims just in the promotion of it. I have since researched the author.  Please note he is Dr in pharmacology. ..ie a pharmacist.

Now whilst many of his diet suggestions are already recommended in Australian Standards for osteoporosis prevention he actually is possibly making some claims based on no research and unduly scaring people against medication that has proven to reduce fractures.

The diet suggestions are good,  but there are many more good books out there too. It's hard to know but I err on sticking with "best practise" and researched results. 

Wish you well for your quest for good bone health.

Hello:) I also was diagnosed with osteoporosis,after chemo( advanced osteo).I was put onto prolia injections,6 monthly,and I had 3.The side effects were minimal,but during this time ,I read the book by Dr.Raymond Hinish.The osteoporosis diet.It is VERY interesting.Armed with the information that I had read,I went to see a nutritionist,and was more or less told that what the book says is correct.It simply is not enough to just get an injection and think that all will be well.It is far more involved than that.I didn't get my last injection,and I have been eating what I now believe to be a good diet for my osteo,and I also take supplements.I take, one vitamin K2 daily,3 vitamin D,and 4 bone matrix support.(eagle brand) As for my diet,I drink AT LEAST 2 litres of water daily,2 cups of spinach or kale daily,an orange every day,a small tin of salmon each day,with the bones in it,lots of veggies,and plenty of protein.For breakfast each day I have raw oats,10 walnuts and bran.I walk a lot,and I try to walk stairs each day.I have my bone density test in July,and I am hoping that there will be an improvement.You can be sure that I will post the result on here.Dr.Ray Hinish says that there is really no need to eat cheese,yoghurt or milk,if you have all the other necessary things in your diet.Green vegetables are VERY important !!!It is about the balance of what you eat,and if you just pop a calcium tablet,for instance,there will be no improvement.For our bodies to absorb calcium from food,we need to eat the CORRECT things together.Get a copy of the book,you can download it on Amazon.It is well worth it!!! Cheers Robyn.xox

I guess you have to weigh up the risks but having had a Grandma with 2 broken hips and a mother with compression fractures of her spine  (just thtough normal menopayse) resulting in a dowagers hump. ...I'm  quite keen to take the medication to reduce the risks following breast cancer treatment . My mother had 2 falls a couple of years after being on it and sustained no fractures which I believe greatly improved her outcomes. I guess you could try it and if you do not tolerate then stop.
