Editorial Reviews

From the Author

If I look younger than you, it's probably because I'm taking care of my bones in a different way. And for the same reason, my arteries are probably less clogged than yours.

Little known fact: People who have stronger bones also have smoother skin.

If you won't do this for your bones, do it for your looks. That's right, bone health and skin health are in lockstep because they both need optimal collagen production.

Skin needs it to be firm and supple.

Bones need it to be strong and flexible.

With the information in this book, you can stay younger on the inside (stronger bones) AND younger on the outside (less wrinkled).

If you're really ready to reduce your wrinkles, protect your heart health, prevent fractures, and grow stronger bones, scroll up to the buy button and click now.

From the time I turned 50, I was instructed by my doctor to start taking Fosomax cause I was at the beginning of thinning bones. But at age 50, I was so healthy and active and felt great. After starting Fosomax, then they put me on statins, then Forteo shots etc etc. I became D3 deficient and in very bad health. I’m 70 now and in the worst shape. I decided to stop a lot of my meds because I felt toxic and weak. My body was trying to wake me up! I just finished reading this book and it just verified what I was thinking all along! I believe it was by the grace of God that I happened upon this book! Thank you Harmony Clearwater Grace for alerting us of very vital life saving information!

This book was incredibly informative. All of the information is backed up by actual, available research. There's a lot here, and it's pretty deep stuff, but it's well worth digging through. It changed and redirected my mind towards safer ways to take care of my body as I age.

I have osteoporosis and have read a great deal. I ordered this book thinking that the probability that I would learn anything new from it was pretty low. When the book arrived and I realized that at about 60 pages it's hardly longer than a pamphlet, I felt sure I had wasted my money. But I was wrong. I learned about a supplement that I had not heard of. And the book provided a really good discussion of one of the key vitamins that added to my understanding since there are several forms and not a lot of clarity about the value of these different versions. So, long story short -- this book is well worth having and reading if you have osteoporosis, even if you think you know everything there is to know about it.

However, it has to be said, the book would have been improved by a more comprehensive discussion of the anabolic drugs Forteo and Tymlos. Some of the negatives of Forteo are mentioned, but the discussion is minimal. It was not noted that you take these drugs for two years, but afterwards any gains are lost unless you take Prolia or a bisphosphenate -- for life. Also, these drugs do build some bone but there are almost no reductions in non-vertebral fractures, such as the hip.

Also, there was no mention of bone markers, which are essential blood tests that show key metrics that tell you what is going on with your bone remodeling. For example, one of these indicates levels of resorption. Resorption often increases greatly with age -- but not always. In my case, the level of resorption was not elevated, so a bisphosphenate, which reduces resorption, is emphatically the wrong drug for me. You need to get bone markers done before starting any meds.

Hope this helps --

I read the book cover to cover last night and found it to be an excellent reference. Having had two bone density test and having been prescribed Fosamax twice and refused it twice I needed to find a new treatment for osteopenia/ osteoporosis. Had I believed the density tests, I should’ve broken my hips arms shoulders etc. at least a dozen times because I had been falling so much.This little book is concise full of information without any extraneous texts. She does not disparage doctors who prescribe the medications and only explains why they cannot possibly know everything about everything. They are too busy having to see as many patients as possible during the day because of the insurance companies now running the medical profession and big Pharma educating them about drugs. They do not have the time to do the research themselves. The author has done it for them and for us.It is up to us, the patients, to be our own best advocates. We know our bodies better than anybody else. And we should care about our bodies more than anybody else. I have not yet started on the vitamin and mineral supplements but will ASAP.

Harmony presents a great case! The actual links to the research sources (in the Kindle version) are grouped with the relevant subject. The book is an excellent "quick read" but only if you do not follow the extensive links. It is really fascinating that she could find as much as she did on the NIH pub med site. While this book is specifically about osteoporosis the recommendations would also be good for just general health. I did find it interesting to learn that skin health is so closely related to bone health though.

If you want to learn a lot about protecting your bones this book is for you. It is an easy quick read but is packed with valuable information. She do an excellent job to presenting both the problems and the solutions including quite a bit of information for those that might be taking medications that interfere with bone health.

I loved the fact that the book was published regarding a variety of drugs for osteoporosis. I agree that most, if not all of them, will cause more trouble than the disease itself.

I liked that many references listed. Will continue to follow up on these.

Not only does Harmony include the harmful facts of the osteoporosis drugs, but she follows up with lots of sources and studies to prove how harmful these drugs are. She also includes studies on supplements that actually help create good bone growth. When my doctor insisted that I go on one of the bone drugs or my bones would snap and I would die, I went along with his recommendation and had a terrible reaction to the drug. I decided to do my own research and found what I read in her book to be the actual facts on these drugs. I also found many sources on how to use natural products to build good bone naturally. My next bone scan showed good improvement in my bones using natural products.

Must read if you have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, and/or taking medication for it. Such as Prolia/Reclast/or Rebound drugs when coming off Prolia. Be informed about your health. Know what questions to ask the specialist.

Unfortunately I have to say that this book is not more than a first step into the world of osteoporosis. It can be used as very plain information source for people who start dealing with this illness and who wish to dig in deeper —> further reading is required. Do not only take supplements or depending on the advice in this book.
This book is NOT at all based on good scientific practise and has NOT been written with the proper scientific background (examples: amazon websites with products are used as references for the fact that organic calcium is preffered by the body; she mentions that 40.000 IE of vitamine D daily was biochemically safe and references certain studies for that without mentioning at all that kidney problems can occur if these high doses are taken for too long).
So better safe your money here and get yourself a book with scientific substance.
Someone wants to earn some easy money here (there are even direct product links to amazon which has a certain taste of course).

If you are in any doubt at all about following your medical professional's recommendations rather than looking for an alternative to pharmaceuticals, then read this book.
I have had Crohn's for 40 years and always trusted GP and specialists' advice and treatment: BIG mistake. This course of action has cost me dear and all the steroids and immune-suppressants have ruined my health. Despite a love of sunbathing and decades of lifting heavy weights plus a generally good diet, I have osteoporosis due to medication. I also developed hypothyroid disease that went undiagnosed for many years and the doctors confused the thyroid-related IBS with the Crohn's, meaning I was on unnecessary courses of high-dose corticosteroids repeatedly for years.
About 5 years ago I looked at the 13 different meds I had to take each day - many to counteract the terrible effects of the primary medications, and realised if I continued down this path I was probably going to die quite soon.
I began researching alternative methods of treatment and found cannabis oil for the Crohn's, which worked a treat and also helped me sleep. That got rid of the bulk of my meds. I began taking vitamins and minerals to counteract the poor food I'd been eating (all I could manage by myself was microwaved crap) and the fact that I had been housebound for years and had seen no sun exposure at all. I had terrible ulcers in my mouth from lack of D3, for example.
I then found out that, contrary to Big Pharma-related medical practises, it was better for my Crohn's to improve my immune system rather than suppress it. This was a huge turning point. I can't express just how huge.
Just think about things logically. Our bodies are designed to be healthy. That's what our immune system is for.
But everything we breath in, eat, drink, live in, is toxic these days - so it's no surprise that everyone, even youngsters, are ill with serious diseases. And small health problems soon become much worse once Big Pharma gets you in its grip, as I know to my cost.
I sorted out my diet, too, got a top of the range water filter, and take herbs to counteract the toxins I breath in outside, and removed toxic substances from my home.
My health improved dramatically. I still had thyroid issues, as I didn't know what they were, so I couldn't treat them. I complained repeatedly to my GP about the symptoms and was fobbed off for years with the usual: age, post menopausal, stress, other illnesses, in your head, etc. So I read up on it and saw a functional GP who diagnosed me officially. My own GP tried to give me levo to treat it... except I also had adrenal issues - my GP had been informed of that - and taking levo before addressing the adrenal insufficiency can be fatal! Luckily, I had stopped having any faith in GP's, and treated myself. I'm still treating myself and use the NHS just for blood tests. I now tell my GP what I need and she complies, as she's accepted I know far more than her.
I also saw an endo. I was having some issues with self-medicating and was having heart palpitations and rubbery legs at the time. Despite me telling her (and she's meant to be one of the best) about the meds I was taking and the other symptoms, she said it was my heart and that she was concerned my cholesterol was too high. The prescription pad came out straight away for statins. I refused and said I was quite happy with my cholesterol levels (low cholesterol is the killer). She tried to tell me that it was familial high cholesterol. This is nonsense. People with familial high cholesterol (that is, 'bad' lipids not affected by diet) have very high levels (15+) and rarely live past 50 (I'm 57). Also my blood pressure was way to high (no surprise there after that news!). I refused beta blockers.
She then said she was very concerned by my osteoporosis and wanted me to have another DEXA scan and to start me on biphosphates. I refused those. She looked exasperated and said I should look into SERMs. I said I would. I did. I've already started HRT and can't see the point. Plus, the HRT is patches with very little increase in possible cancers and blood clots, as opposed to SERMs.
Since she clearly knew zero about anything - I tried discussing supplements and diets but she knew even less about that - I decided to sort out my thyroid issues, as research suggested overmedication was the source of my heart and blood pressure issues. I was right. I cancelled my appointment with the cardiac dept, as my heart is now fine again. I did, based on my research, add cod liver oil and l-carnitine and D-ribose to my supplement intake, just to be sure, and I already take CoQ10.
Now my thyroid treatment is almost sorted it's time to deal with my osteoporosis. I'll be doing that myself and is one of the reasons I bought this book.
I bought this book as it's concise - yes, it's short, but I want to know what to do asap, not the life story of bones - and I got to know what I need to buy and do within a few hours of reading. The information tallies with all my previous research, so I know it's sound. I will be starting the program advised by the book next week. One thing I didn't know - especially having been a fan of lifting heavy weights for so many years - was that the Vibro plates are so good for bone building. I am looking into the best one to buy.
The reason this is such a long-winded review is to make people understand, through my personal experience - both distant past and present - just how poor GP and so-called specialist's knowledge is about all disease. They are trained by Big Pharma-sponsored universities and medical facilities. That's all they know and they seem perfectly happy in their ignorance, despite the lives they are ruining. They don't do it on purpose; my endo said she was taking SERMs, herself. They will also take the poisoned pills for their own illnesses. It's just ignorance coupled with overconfidence in themselves and the 'system'.
My advice on ANY disease, not just bone health, is to do your own research thoroughly. The more research you do the less likely you'll fall victim to quackery - both online and via the NHS.
One more example of how powerful diet and alternative, natural methods are over Big Pharma: I'd been having crippling migraines for about 18 months. I didn't know that thyroid problems cause issues regulating blood sugar, and I'd started back on carbs a few months before the migraines occurred. I had suspected diabetes, actually, but blood tests said no - although I wasn't convinced. I gave up carbs back in April last year. The migraines ended the next day. Never had one since.
The advice in this book is sound. So what if the book is short. Why pad it out with info you don'y need just to keep people happy? Ignore those reviews and buy the book... and think long and hard about any other meds you are told you need and research every other illness you are told you have yourself. I will never trust the advice of another medical 'professional' again in my entire life.
