boing asked:


They have that drug called Forteo which is parathyroid hormone which they give to post menopausal women with osteoporosis. Why in the world would you give them that drug? Why not calcitonin (thyroid hormone)?

Camellia asked:


I am wondering if there is a “best”, or most effective supplement that can be obtained over the counter for help with control of the effects that this condition has on the hip and legs? Can men get this disease, and if so, can liquid calcium and glucosemine supplement help? I was trying to find something I could get for my husband that might work. Thanks to all who answer.

Self Published Book Details Osteoporosis in Men and Effective Cure

Michael McCain asked:


sis has long been known as a woman’s disease that affects their bone mineral density. However, the Xlibris book “B.O.N.E.S.: Beating Osteoporosis Naturally, Easily, Sensibly” reveals that osteoporosis is no longer just a disease that affects women but can also develop in men.

Author Robert Pirello relates his experience with osteoporosis, which is considered a major public health threat for over 44 million Americans beyond the age of 50. In this self-published book, Pirello narrates his encounter with the disease, detailing the impact of the osteoporosis on his life – from diagnosis to cure.

B.O.N.E.S. also follows Pirello’s successful story in beating osteoporosis – from enlisting the help of his doctor, Bernardo Merizalde M.D., to changing his diet – and how he recovered his athletic lifestyle after being cured. He overcame the disease without the help of pharmaceuticals and he believes others can do the same.

This Xlibris release encourages women who are afflicted by osteoporosis and men who are discovering their susceptibility to the disease to face the challenges posed by this ailment. B.O.N.E.S. shows that by improving bone mineral density, one can regain strong bones naturally, easily, sensibly.
