| As we age, your body will steal calcium from your bones, so just know you'll probably need something the rest of your life unless you could get enough calcium and magnesium with your diet? I take 1200 mg/day of calcium and magnesium. I use the tumorx products and they've helped my calcium levels to improve. |

Dear Forum, I have osteoporosis too, and have taken Fosamax. I became concerned about the long term effects and decided to look for an alternative. There is one! I found a Chinese Herbal Medicine called Xianling Gubao. It is hard to find here in the states, as it is under approval by our FDA at this time. It is offered in OTC form in China, however, and I have a supplier there. Unlike many Chinese Traditional Medicines, this one is manufactured by a highly respected firm who does clinical trials to verify the efficacy of their medicines. Xianling Gubao in its trials shows efficacy equal to the biophosphonates! It has no side effects, either! I have decided to try and market it, and have a website. If you are interested, I have links to the clinical trial information. The price is reasonable, considering shipping from China. Feel free to contact me for any information! mikedmonds@verizon.net mountainpharma@gmail.com Sincerely, Mike |
