There are many ways to HALT and even REVERSE bone loss… it is not just the minerals (Ca, Mg, etc.) but also the bone matrix that is important. bHRT is definitely something that should be used as well as bisphosphinates as they have their place too. Good nutrition, weight bearing exercise and adequate mineral intake are also important. Also making sure your Thyroid levels are not too high to burn off bone is critical. Therapy should have been started earlier that is why I use bone markers (NTx for example) to monitor bone health instead of just DEXA as you cannot adjust therapy quick enough with bone scans.

I am a health conscious, fit, vegan, 56 yr. old yoga teacher who barely had any menopausal symptoms. In fact, I did not understand what women complained about! I never took HRT, I told my gyno I would absolutely NOT take synthetic hormones. However, two months ago a bone scan revealed “severe” osteoporosis in my hips, one side is -2.5, the other is -2.8. I was shocked to say the least.

My gyno put me on once a month Actonel. My thyroid dr. suggested bioidenticals instead to rebuild my bone. When I told my gyno this she said that bios are absolutely unsafe and there are no studies on them. When I told my gyno that I am angry that she did not give me any options when I was younger, she said because I did not have menopause symptoms and that HRT is NOT recommended for bone loss in menopausal women, that’s why she never suggested HRT, i.e, giving me an option of bios because she knew I never wanted synthetics.

My thyroid dr. suggested I read Suzanne Somers’ books and I have found out that hormones are INDEED recommended for menopausal bone loss!! Now I am incredibly angry at my gyno and WILL be investigating bios.

to the drs. who monitor this site: is it too late for me to rebuild my bones via bios?

A great book that I recently read : Hormone Harmony by Dr. Alicia Stnaton. It was such a good read that it got me started on more research.

It’s good to see the doctors commenting on this site. Finding “enlightened” doctors is not the easiest thing.

I have done my own research and found that estrogen was not associated with increased risk for breast cancer. In fact, the risk of breast cancer are limited.
