UPDATE: 9/10/11
Another new article points to the insanity of the FDA's process of approving drugs that take so long to report data about the risk to bone health. The other odd consideration is the lack of attention to how to properly label problematic drugs and how to determine just how long someone would take a risky Rx.
FDA advisers wary of time limit on bone drugs
From 9/6/11
Today it was announced that Blythe Danner, actress and mother of Gwyneth Paltrow, has osteoporosis.
The article states "In order to spread awareness about osteoporosis, Danner is helping launch Act2ReduceFractures.com, an informational Web site on fracture risk jointly sponsored by Amgen, American Bone Health, the Global Healthy Living Foundation, and the Older Women’s League."
This is of course another celebrity pushing drugs and avoiding any discussion of what natural remedies are available to help prevent and treat bone loss. Fluoride based drugs with many serious adverse reactions are the cornerstone along with low level dosing of vitamin D, calcium, and kale chips which are in fact quite good.
Nothing is referenced about the problems with calcium about the form and utilization as well as the need for a full complement of nutrients to keep bones strong and healthy.
No mention of herbs, no mention of homeopathy, no mention of many good natural approaches.
