ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES FOR BONE DENSITY: LILLIAN’S STORY
March 14, 2011
One of my colleagues told me about one patient taking only Fosamax. A small woman in her early 70s, Lillian eats a fairly average American diet, has difficulty walking (and in fact uses a walker), and so gets little exercise and refuses to take calcium or any other supplements. Despite being about 30 percent low in bone density in her hip and spine, Lillian generally feels fine and is always happy and peppy when she comes into the doctor’s office. But the scan results did convince her she needed something to protect her bones if she didn’t want to fracture her hip or suffer from compression fractures in the spine, so she decided on Fosamax. In two years, she’s had over 6 percent gains in her back and almost 11 percent in her hip, impressive results given the fact that the medicine wasn’t getting support from the recommended lifestyle changes. In Lillian’s case, a positive attitude seemed to be the best medicine.
