very informative book
I have read a few of Dr. McIlwain's books over the years and have found them all to be so informative. I bought this book after my mom was diagnosed with osteoporosis so that I could learn about preventing it for myself. It is so easy to read and explained everything I needed to know in great detail. My bone density has improved after taking his suggestions!

Extremely helpful book
Even though this book was published in 1994 and thus doesn't include some of the latest research on osteoporosis, I found it incredibly helpful in understanding this disease as well as other health issues I face. Because it addresses other health issues, it helped me to understand how one problem may impact bone health, though it may not necessarily be the direct cause of osteoporosis. I was ...

WHAT YOUR DOCTOR FORGOT TO TELL YOU!!
Like many people who are diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis, I recived just about NO information from my doctor on how to improve bone health. It was just -- "take this pill and I'll see you at your annual physical." I was deeply upset that she had no information for me, provided almost no insight, and seemed vastly disinterested in providing any. I went out and looked for books to ...

Excellent!
I recently had a DEXA bone scan and was diagnosed with osteoporosis (or low bone density). My doctor was very "dramatic" when she tried to explain the big DANGER that I was headed toward. She said, "You'll break a hip and end up in a nursing home and you will die. That's your prognosis if you don't do something about this NOW." She hit her wrist very forcefully and said, "You ...
