1. If dr. Gregor continues down this path big pharma is going to put on him soon.

2. Please research the low intensity vibration platform Marodyne LiV Platform. There are some published studies conducted by the developer that suggest improvement in bone density. Thank you.

3. I listened to the doctors at an osteoporosis clinic and followed their advice to take injections for osteoporosis. After experiencing side effects I was told I should continue with the remaining monthly injections before reporting any side effects to the manufacturer. The side effects had gotten worse each month. After having a second bone density scan and personally reviewing both scans I stopped the treatment. According to the imaging company and to the scans in front of me I have a mild case of osteopenia in my one hip. The drug is not shown to be effective for the spine. The doctors had convinced me that I needed the drugs to prevent another fracture of my vertebrae. I never should have been treated with these high-risk medications. I am attempting to get back to being myself. Five months later the clinic that cared so much about me has not contacted me to inquire as to why I cancelled the treatment. Five months later I am fighting to undo what the medication did.

4. 👍 Whole food plant based for the environment and health; vegan for the victims!

5. Thank you so much for covering this! So important <3

6. We just hosted the first of four How Not to Age Book Club sessions. Dr. Greger will be covering Part 2 this Friday. Register now and get access to the next three sessions PLUS the recording for Part 1: https://nutritionfacts.org/webinar/how-not-to-age-book-club/

7. Good information to know, but as per usual, most of these drugs simply aren't beneficial and actually cause other problems (side effects). What is more concerning is that our Doctors are brainwashed into thinking pushing these meds are the right way to go instead of suggesting alternatives…….you know like a better diet and exercise……..

8. What about soy, I remember that Japanese people are older and have a higher bone density.

9. Good info to know! This reminds me of a video link a family member got directly from their doctor's office. The video pushes all the "benefits" of colonoscopy, without doing anything to show the actual statistical risk reduction. Worse yet, the video conveniently fails to mention that you can DIE from a colonoscopy!!! And of course, the patient was never provided a shred of guidance for tips to reduce colon cancer risk in the first place, ie no processed meat consumption… 🙄

10. This seems to be a theme of so many drugs taken as medication. More expensive, less effective and with worse side effects than lifestyle changes (usually dietary changes).
    With the medical profession and the drug companies gaining financially.
    A big thanks to Dr Greger and the team for making us aware of the medical science on these issues in an entertaining format.

11. Thanks Dr for the info.

12. In my humble opinion we are getting to the point where Doctors and the drug companies that are pushing their drugs are absolutely UNTRUSTWORTHY! My SPECIALIST years ago prescribed 1.5 Grams per day of Calcium Carbonate. If I had followed her advice I would probably have died by now of arterial sclerosis! I refused to take Fosomax as well! Instead I used bio-identical progesterone cream from yams in my perimenopause years and prunes plus vitamins K2/D3 in my recent years. Every winter I buy a fresh pair of cleats for my winter boots so I do not fall on the snow/ice. Last time I was checked I had managed to keep my bone density out of the Osteoporosis range.
    NO THANKS TO DOCTORS OR DRUG PUSHERS!!!

13. Studies show that bone density requires exercise. The most famous study that was done was of professional baseball players' pitching arms. The Bone density of the pitching arm was three times that of the non-pitching arm. This study shows the importance of exercise in relation to bone density and also the importance of exercising a specific area for increasing bone density.

14. As a whole food plant-based orthopedic surgeon, I applaud and thank you, Dr. Greger, for reviewing the literature, and compiling this video so succinctly and so clearly.

15. 1.09% of the time it works everytime 🤣🤣🤣 91 to 1 what a clown show

16. My doctor prescribed the injections for me. I think I was supposed to get them 6 months apart. After the first dose, a very quick shot in the arm, I got the notice from my insurance company that they had been billed almost $1,000! About a month later I got an earache that wouldn’t get better. The pain spread to the entire left side of my head. My doctor said he could find no reason for the pain. Then I found out about the possibility of it “rotting” my jaw!
    No way would I ever accept another injection!

17. Thank you

18. As physician with over 20 years of experience with osteoporosis and hip fractures, I can tell you that BMD testing is meaningless, bisphosphonates do Not work , and that they actually cause a devastating side effect called a bisphosphonate -induced femur fracture (aka atypical femur fracture). This so called atypical fracture is much harder to treat than a standard hip fracture and is clearly iatrogenic. I am embarrassed and ashamed of our profession and I hope that this sheds some light so others can look into the aforementioned in more detail

19. Everyday I take: ✅
    1- D3 5,000 iu.
    2- K2 MK7 90 mcg.
    3- Magnesium Glycinate 200 mg.
    ** D3 + K2 in one capsule 💊
    ** I improved my bone density 💪

20. Weight training works and helped me improve lumbar bone density by nearly 1.5 standard deviations (or T-score units on which below -1 is osteopenia and below -2.5 is osteoporosis). It also helps those with low BMI to simply increase weight as carrying body weight is modest weight training all the time without even making a conscious effort.

21. Isn’t it also true that these drugs cause heart attacks?

22. I love this channel!

23. Like most other pharma drugs, it's a scam

24. Thank you so much for your expert review of clinical studies. I have been researching this topic for myself and appreciate your wisdom and analysis of clinical research. Great presentation. Please keep up your wonderful presentations. Again thank you.

25. So following the logic of the last statement, the drugs may actually be of value in treating osteoporosis but morbidity might not appear to be impacted in studies because comorbidities potentially contribute to the hip fractures, and may be the underlying cause of death. Did I hear that correctly?

I commenti sono chiusi.
