Approximately 65% of women over 40 years old living in the West are diagnosed with osteoporosis and osteopenia and are told they need drugs. Naturally, with the demands of pregnancy and breastfeeding, women require large deposits of calcium and the bones appear less dense upon testing - this is normal, not sickness. There are a few women and men who do have seriously diseased bones, but drug therapy provides minimal benefits with the potential for very serious side effects. Real osteoporosis is caused by the excess acid and protein content of the Western diet. Learn how to reverse osteoporosis in other ways besides drugs.
