EDITORIAL REVIEWS


Product Description
"Gill Sanson's book is a well-researched breath of fresh air that will help women everywhere better trust the wisdom of their bodies." -- Christiane Northrup, M.D.

The Myth of Osteoporosis is a research-based work that provides clear insight into the myths of osteoporosis. These myths motivate both patient and physician into a lifetime of unnecessary testing and drug therapy — therapy that can in fact be life-threatening. Gillian Sanson's well-documented explanation of these myths can spare women great anxiety. She takes the fear out of aging and restores women's sense of control over their bodies. She gives women good reasons for challenging the common way that osteoporosis is handled in the United States and in many other industrialized nations.

Life and good health are much simpler than we make it. by I. Schmidt (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) 5 Stars
June 30, 2009
Gillian Sanson goes against the current by empowering women and encouraging them to take responsibility for their own health through research, information, courage, optimism and good-sense. Her book is thoroughly and carefully researched, with clear scientific references for each of her claims. With the wealth of information we have today, it doesn't make sense to follow your doctor blindly, without questioning exactly what his/her recommendations will do to YOUR body.

She also goes against the current by ditching the "magic pill" notion of medicine (which, incidentally, is highly profitable for the medical and pharmaceutical empires) and advocating a holistic approach to better bones through lifestyle changes such as exercise, sound nutrition and a clear, peaceful mind. She explains which types of exercise and which nutrients are important for our bones, and why.

Buy and read this book. Buy more copies and give them to your friends and family members. I will help you make your bones stronger, stop worrying needlessly and, as a bonus, lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer, and live a happier and more satisfying life.

Life and good health are simple. Some professionals and corporations try to convince you they are complicated, because they profit from disease, not from good health. Take back your own life and health. This book will help you enormously.

The book is well-written, informative and has an excellent presentation style. It is quite up-to-date.

This may have saved my life. by Felicia (MA, USA) 5 Stars
October 03, 2008
After I had hysterectomy 6 months ago, I started HRT as my doctor suggested. Then I started to worry about osteoporosis and began my search. I read another book about osteoporosis written by some M.D. I did not find the answer to my questions but I got very scared and felt I may have a fracture in any day now.

Then I read this book, mainly because of the many good reviews right on this site. Now the other book looks total trash to me. As other reviews states, this is by far the most ground-breaking medical related book I've ever read. I skip the detail because I would just repeat everyone else.

I'm very angry to my doctor who prescribed the HRT to me, knowing about the serious side effect( it's beyond side effect, it's a major effect), and if he didn't know about it, I would be angry all the same. He told me to take this for 9 years. I couldn't believe that this controversial trial happened several years ago and doctors still prescribe it for the same purpose.

This book made me realize that "Ask your doctor" "Talk to your doctor" commercials are just commercials, and that to doctors, I am merely another customer. Arm myself with the right knowledge may win in the end, but it's not at all easy to find the truly trustworthy medical information. So I was very lucky that I found this book, because if not, I'd still have continued that dangerous drug, and in 6 months who knows if I had a complication and died from it, nobody in my family would be suspicious about the drug I've been taking. And no doubt that I would have been depressed till the day I die.

I thank and have a great respect and appreciation to Ms. Sanson as well as to reviewers who took time to write an honest, genuine opinion in order to be beneficial to others.
I don't think I go see a doctor now, after I learned that those tests are not standardized internationally. How ridiculous is that I may be ill at one place and may be totally healthy at another place. (There are other amazing facts throughout the book.)

I'll try to maintain my body well using the suggestions from this book. I don't have to be told if I'm in what stage of illness with some unreliable method. I don't want to worry every day when I will be on a wheelchair. I just try to be careful with doing everything I can to prevent it, and there are plenty of it.


Must read for any woman prescribed Fosamax or Actonel. by Judith Namaste (Ohio) 5 Stars
August 29, 2008
This book is an eye-opener. You'll have a whole new perspective on bone care and a diagnosis of osteoporosis or osteopoenia. Invaluable information for managing your bone health that can make a difference. I am not only confident in my previous decision to stop medication, but am making important dietary change that I wish I had known about 40 years ago. You'll find that milk isn't what your thought it was!

I wish I had read this book first. by Happy Reader (Salt Lake City, UT) 5 Stars

I wish I had read Gillian Sanson's book before I let a doctor talk me into taking one Boniva pill seven months ago. I had a terrible reaction and, because Boniva and all bisphosphonates stay in the body forever, I am still suffering from debilitating bone and joint pain. Ms. Sanson is right when she says not enough research has been done on bisphophonates. Her book provides a valuable public service. Now if only we can get doctors to read it.
