- Part 4 provides an in depth evaluation of common treatments ranging from dietary intervention to prescription medications. Surprisingly diet, exercise and calcium supplements may not be as helpful as most assume. Additionally bisphosphonates including Actonel, Boniva and Fosamax may be overrated.
This guy is brilliant. I've no idea why his videos have so little support. Perhaps it's because of their length and in depth knowledge but for those who are willing to put some effort in then there's a lot to learn from and a hell of a lot to consider. Thank you Dr for your time and effort.
I post them on Twitter hoping more will see. People are lazy, and don’t want to take time, but his info is invaluable!✌
Because many at those age brackets don’t give up alcohol and smoking nor exercise.
So the point is, eat right, execrise, plenty of rest and watch where you step....I just found out or was just diagnosed with Osteoporosis at age 65yrs...I was prescribed Fosamax but I have started it yet...probably won't either....Wish he was my Doctor here in Iowa.....My Doctor loves to prescribe meds and I hate taking them..
Thank you for this information Dr. Landow. I wish I had come across your video prior to accepting an infusion of zoledronic acid (Reclast) five days ago for osteopenia. I researched the drug prior to taking it and didn't find anything alarming, and my doctor said it is well-tolerated. After taking it, the side effects have been a nightmare and now I am stuck with the poison inside my body for an indefinite length of time. I felt great prior to taking this medication and now I feel very ill. I have subsequently found some forums on the internet where people share their same nightmare experience. People, think twice about taking this drug. I hope and pray I do not end up with long-term permanent damage.
I wish I had you as my doctor. Glad I can learn from you on youtube. You are refreshing not pushing drugs. Thank you.
I would love to live in your mind for a month....a year. Imagine all of the things I would learn!
Dr. Landow is a Mayo Clinic level doctor..the best! I wish he was my doctor lol
Watching your video Dr frightened the life out of me taking alendronic acid …. I refused it and just as well I looked into it more on things you said. Talking about it I discovered from just normal ppl one person she lost nearly of her teeth was in my neighbours Aunts case her teeth were falling out. Rotted her jaw. My mams friend fractured 3 ribs just coughing because her new dr didn’t do meds check when she was on steroids ! She has had other rib fractures since I asked her about the alendronic acid only other day. So now I eat my calcium in and do weights and walk as much as I can now that I don’t run anymore since 2014. I’m 53 now and my last dexa scan was 2.5 2yrs ago I’m having another one soon. Thanks for your knowledge and videos x
I don't want to take alendronate that's what my doctor prescribed me for my osteoporosis I want to treat this the natural way but my doctor said I'm at high risk for a fracture but I'm terrified of the side effects, if we're at high risk for a fracture can we still reverse it naturally without the use of medication?
❤Thank you so very much for your informative and thorough talk on osteoporosis.
I am one of those who "does" rather than, as you say "takes" and resolve many issues through lifestyle changes. Why do so many doctors push drugs?
Thank you! Such great information!
Great video Dr Ken thank you for this informative information.
Excellent information! Thank you!
Thanks doctor god bless you
Thank you 😊
Thank you!
very informative!
Great info I am not taking any drug probably I will not in the future. Otherwise rating the drugs and treatments sound realistic. Thanks😊
Love ❤️ you doctor what a mench you are from paris France I love all your well detailed videos iam 57 and my bones ages I eat je to walk daily 50 minutes sleeps and do meditation I take 0.25 mg of xanas and stopped risperidone I was in it seven months I put 8 kilos on it I lost it since I was prescribed this medecine for my trichotillomania it helped I started suddenly pulling my hair at 52 my hair grew back no bald spots but I keep pulling at times franctickly I wear a turban or a hat
My physio therapist is under the impression that exercise can stabilse and reverse some osteopinea. The idea being that stressing the affected bones with exercise can help encourage osteoblasts. Is there no truth in this?
Q car hit me I was a pedestrian 🚶♀️ I had the fifth sacrum fractured it took me six months to heal I got lucky to be alive iam in menopause at 57 I quit smocking pot and now iam mindful of the danger of tobacco I am preparing to quit cold turkey the only way for my pain I do stretch I walk and est mostly vegetables fruits salmon sardines no sodas no sugar no candies no processed food no dairies or sometimes I would have a good probiotic yogurt thanks doctor and iam French I loved all these wonderful savoy cheese or fondue I will have maybe two fondues this winter and not feel guilty and a glass of wine sometimes we need to enjoy life take care doctor love from Paris
So with all that you said if you had to pick one of these drugs for Osteoporosis which one would you choose if it were your mom who is 78 years old?
Anything on Risedronate?
I'm not so much concerned about hip fractures as I am about walking around with a hump in my back when I'm an old lady. Does Prolia help that?
Doc, I have RA. just diagnosed with osteoporosis FRAX -2.6 left femur. My Doctor wants to start Prolia ASAP. Iam not sure if I want to.
What about actonel?
What about Forteo?
So what do we do??? Are we just hopeless
I’m more confused than before by watching this video.
In the past 6 yes to now. Is there better treatments with less side effects?
Go with diet changes and exercise and OTC supplements. Do some research, just as I am. Good luck.
