]]> Comment on More Jawbone Problems with the Bisphosphonate Drugs by Donimo http://weightvest4osteoporosis.com/blog/2007/10/more-jawbone-problems-with-the-bisphosphonate-drugs/#comment-2 Donimo Fri, 09 Nov 2007 04:50:42 +0000 http://weightvest4osteoporosis.com/blog/2007/10/more-jawbone-problems-with-the-bisphosphonate-drugs/#comment-2 Doctors aren't wising up to a lot of things. I have always refused drugs in my effort to build bone naturally and these stories will ensure that I stay far away from the bisphosphonates. I have had success with two types of calcium and a natural progesterone. I wonder if you've ever read anything about people with chronic pain being at greater risk for developing osteo. I have had thinning bones since my early 30's and my endocrinologist says that the chronic pain created this problem. Doctors aren't looking for this risk factor! I really want to get the word out to others so that they can catch the disease earlier than I did. I write about it on my blog: http://www.mybodyofowrk.blogspot.com Great site, by the way!

]]> Comment on Hold Off on the Once-a-year Drug for Osteoporosis by jdach http://weightvest4osteoporosis.com/blog/2007/05/hold-off-on-the-once-a-year-drug-for-osteoporosis/#comment-5 jdach Sun, 17 Jun 2007 23:38:54 +0000 http://weightvest4osteoporosis.com/blog/2007/05/hold-off-on-the-once-a-year-drug-for-osteoporosis/#comment-5 Bisphosphonate drugs for Osteoporosis, like Fosamax and Actonel, are taken up by osteoclasts with resulting loss of osteoclast activity and inhibition of bone resorption, and bone remodeling. Although DEXA scanning confirms increased bone density and studies such as the FIT suggest reduced fracture rate, Susan Ott, MD raises questions about the long term safety of bisphosphonates. Although the bisphosphonates appear to have short term benefits, she speculates that after 5 years of use, there is severe suppression of bone formation with negative effects such as microdamage and brittleness. Spontaneous Fractures of the Mid-Femur Jennifer P. Schneider, MD, PhD reports a 59-year old previously healthy woman on long-term alendronate. While on a subway train in New York City one morning, the train jolted, and the woman shifted all her weight to one leg, felt a bone snap, and fell to the floor, suffering a spontaneous mid -femur fracture. This is not an isolated report. Avacular Necrosis of the Jaw Dimitrakopoulos reports on 11 patients presenting with necrosis of the jaw, claiming this to be a new complication of bisphosphonate therapy administration, i.e. osteonecrosis of jaws. He advised clinicians to reconsider the merits of the rampant use of bisphosphonates. Osteonecrosis of the jaw is a common finding in pycnodysostosis. The bisphosphonates recreate the same clinical profile of spontaneous mid femur fractures, failure of bone healing and jaw necrosis which tormented the famous French artist, Toulouse Lautrec.
