Some people get temporary help from fusion others end up far worse. The fact that there is not a safe and effective medication for low bone density is just another indication of how bad our health care system is. Things like vitamin D, boron, calcium, testosterone, and exercise can't be patented but dangerous chemicals can receive a patent.
I bet your MD has you on some poison like Boniva.
Here is the
411 on Boniva and other poisons like it.
Boniva is part of the drug classification known as “bisphosphonates”. The source
(hold onto your hats!) is derived from a waste product produced by the phosphate and metal factories.
When they clean the smoke stacks, a “liquor” of deadly fluorides, uranium,heavy toxic metals are obtained. This substance is biohazardous class “A” industrial waste. It dos not get magically converted or cleaned into a safe formulary either people. It REMAINS TOXIC to the very end of production where it reaches the duped consumer.
The same substance is also used for Rodenticide, Herbicide, Industrial Cleaners, and the deadly nerve gas SARIN is made from those ingredients!!
As to cortico steroid; You'd think by now medical "science" would have come up with something better since 1950. They haven't. They do have NSAIDS that kill 1 in 12000
Long-term use of NSAIDs can cause gastric erosions, which can become stomach ulcers and in extreme cases can cause severe haemorrhage resulting in death.
The risk of death as a result of use of NSAIDs is 1 in 12,000 for young adults aged 16-45. The risk increases almost twenty-fold for those over 75. Other dangers of NSAIDs are exacerbating asthma and causing kidney damage.[1] Over use of acetaminophen (paracetamol) causes liver damage and is the most common cause of liver failure in the United States, according to a 2009 report from the federal Food and Drug Administration.
