So we all pick our battles and do what we feel is best for us or hope it is. Many here have more faith in MD's than I've arrived at.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, jammin, I have no illusions that Doc Welby does nothing but think about my wellbeing. I just don’t feel like challenging everything my doctor says, because of something on the net.

By posting, I was looking for others personal experience.

I don't remember, did anyone here mention Fosamax use? Read some of the ask a patient reviews. They are real reviews.

No, this is what he actually said about it:

5. If the "best treatments for osteoporosis" actually were "exercise and improved nutrition" we wouldn't need the medications we have available. Exercise and proper nutrition including adequate calcium are critical in PREVENTING osteoporosis....treating it? Not so effective....
