Product Description
You Can Fight—and Even Reverse—Bone Loss
How strong are your bones? At 35, a woman's battle against bone loss begins. And, it intensifies with menopause and beyond.

Now, Dr. Gaby, one of the foremost authorities on nutritional and natural medicine, offers practical advice on osteoporosis that substantially increases a woman's chances for maintainting and even regaining normal bone mass. Inside you'll learn:
·How diet can help or hurt your bones
·How food allergies contribute to osteoporosis
·Which types of exercise are beneficial
·Why vitamin K is as important for bones as calcium
·And much more!
"A breakthrough approach to the successful treatment and/or prevention of osteoporosis."

Dr. Gaby gives new hope. by D. Trupiano (Houston, TX) 5 Stars
April 12, 2009
My doctors are insisting that I take one of the Bisphosphonates (Boniva, Fosomax, etc.) but having had cancer, the reports of necrosis of the jaw terrify me. Besides that, I am having gastro-intestinal problems compounding the problem. I saw this book recommended in the Alternative Medicine book and I am so glad I purchased it. Dr. Gaby gives detailed information on every issue he presents regarding Osteoporosis. I am so engrossed in the book (half way through it): like reading a Thriller novel. No quack this man. He appears to be right up to date on the issues of hormones (I never realized there were so many types of Estrogen and Progesterone.) He explains why Vitamin K, Viatmin D, Boron, Magnesium, and so much more is so important when taking calcium. He backs up everything he presents with scientific medical studies. My one disappointment is that he wrote the book in 1994 and has not updated it. I would like to hear him address all the newer phamaceutical products that have hit the market and some of the sorry results.

This regimen reversed my osteopenia dramatically by Ceil Hall 5 Stars
October 22, 2008
When I found out that I had osteopenia, I conducted extensive research on the Web, looking for solutions. Time and again, "Preventing and Reversing Osteoporosis" surfaced as a highly-recommended source - so often that I decided to start with that book.

I took note of all the recommendations, such as exercise and diet, and I brought the list of recommended supplements to my doctor. He agreed that I should try it.

Two years later, my bone scan score improved dramatically; to the point where I am now considered to have "normal" bone density for my age.

I recommended it very highly.

This product would be great if it wasn't based on 1994 data. A real waste of time and money.

A further education by Marsha (Michigan) 5 Stars
January 11, 2007
About six months ago I was told that I had osteopenia and almost went into a panic. This book educated me on the possible ways that this condition could be reversed before more bone loss could occur. The book was clear and concise in discussing natural approaches, nutrition and scientific studies and how to apply them in everyday life to obtain possitive results.

Extremely helpful book by P. J. Rohrmann (CA) 5 Stars
November 13, 2006
Even though this book was published in 1994 and thus doesn't include some of the latest research on osteoporosis, I found it incredibly helpful in understanding this disease as well as other health issues I face. Because it addresses other health issues, it helped me to understand how one problem may impact bone health, though it may not necessarily be the direct cause of osteoporosis. I was particularly impressed with the section on food allergies and want to try to implement his elimination diet in some way. I have long suspected that I have some other food allergies and wonder if they might be a contributing factor to the osteoporosis? Since I am also hypothyroid I appreciated his discussion of this issue, also the constant references to absorption and resorption.

It is one of the few health books I have read from cover to cover in the last few months. There is a lot of information in the book. I did occasionally find some of the explanations a bit technical for me, but it showed me that the writer has a good understanding of the topics he discusses, and I am sure they are helpful to other readers. I certainly would not let that stop me from highly recommending this book. I also appreciated his discussion of the medical profession's resistance to alternative healing.
