I read some of the ads in magazines when I get the chance and it’s frightening what these drugs will do to you.
Fosamax is one. For all they tout it, it’s only supposed to increase your bone density about 2% over the course of a year or two and it is NASTY stuff.
Simply not worth it when calcium, magnesium, Vitamin D, diet, and exercise will do more.
IMO, many of these drugs are the lazy way out. People want a quick and easy fix and it’s easier to pop a pill that make the lifestyle changes necessary to reach your goal.
Most prescription drugs are placebos at best.
Fosamax is a guarantee of kidney destruction, and 20 years off of your life.
