Editorial Review:
"Gill Sanson's book is a well-researched breath of fresh air that will help women everywhere better trust the wisdom of their bodies." -- Christiane Northrup, M.D.
The Myth of Osteoporosis is a research-based work that provides clear insight into the myths of osteoporosis. These myths motivate both patient and physician into a lifetime of unnecessary testing and drug therapy — therapy that can in fact be life-threatening. Gillian Sanson's well-documented explanation of these myths can spare women great anxiety. She takes the fear out of aging and restores women's sense of control over their bodies. She gives women good reasons for challenging the common way that osteoporosis is handled in the United States and in many other industrialized nations.

Rating: - Just read it!
This book completely changed my view about osteopenia and osteoporosis. Please, read it, specially if you're diagnosed osteopenia. I'm a very healthy woman and didn't have the habit or the necessity of taking any drugs since I discovered I have osteopenia. The doctor prescribed me Fosamax in order to try to avoid early osteoporosis. For the first time in my life I was taking a "serious" drug. I started to get fatter and fatter in my belly region. And then I read this book! It was my salvation and ... Read More

When I was told I had osteopenia my (female) doctor handed me a prescription and a tri-fold pamphlet and told me to take calcium. When I went to the pharmacy to fill the prescription I asked the pharmacist to go over the potential side-effects of the drug with me. He looked at me like I had two heads. That was my introduction to becoming a "victim" of "bone disease". I went home and began to surf the Internet - searching for anything I could find on osteopenia and osteoporosis. And then I read ...

Rating: - 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
cannot do this, because if you
do, your ... Read More

Rating:  - Some interesting information but highly repetitive
I was scared and discouraged when I got
a note from my doctor indicating some
significant bone density loss since my
last bone scan 3 years ago (a subsequent
visit with the doctor revealed the note
had been confusing and partially inaccurate).
The book mentions how frightening an
osteopenia diagnosis can be, and contains
interesting statistics on fracture
rates; the possibility of these
conditions being overdiagnosed;
the notion that normal ... Read More
