"I've had a significant osteo issue for a while. I dropped to as low as -3.7 in L1-L4 (Lumbar). I cannot take Fosamax or any other bisphosphonate and I've tried Citrical and just about everything else. It got so bad..., the endocrinologist, Dr. Tangpricha was about to give me Forteo. It's good for two years and after that, like other bisphosphonate, once you take them for 2-4 years, you cannot take them for life. Not a good choice.
So I want to share this with you. As a last hope, I gave this supplement as shot. A vitamin shop owner swore that all the old people he knew were getting great DEXA scans. Desperate, I tried it, waited and hoped.
Since starting on this product back in 2010, I've turned it around. I had my annual DEXA yesterday revealed a 4.3% increase since last year and 13% since 2006. That's very good. Keep in mind that 1% growth is considered very good. Now, I'm completely out of the osteoporosis range of -2.5 on everything but L-4. It's now 2.9. Dr. Tangpricha is very encouraged by it.
The product is called "Grow Bone" by Vitamin Code. It is a raw, organic calcium proprietary blend NOT a drug. I swear by it. http://www.growbone.com/
I think any CF patient with osteo issues should take it, whether CFF endorses it or not. And...if you have lady friends who have osteo issues, I highly recommend it. I'm a living testament to it."
