The seriousness of the side effects of Fosamax
is often underestimated!

Many medications have dangerous side effects, including Fosamax.  The seriousness of these side effects is often underestimated by both physicians and patients.  One recent study suggested that 106,000 Americans die and 2,000,000 suffer from severe reactions to drugs in hospitals every year in the United States.  Heaven only knows how many die or suffer severe reactions outside of hospitals.

Another reason drugs may be a problem is because they may not provide true long term benefits. Many women have told us their physicians have put them on Fosamax (alendronate).  Oftentimes this results in serious digestive upset.  The drug Fosamax can damage the esophagus and also cause diarrhea, gas, rash, headache and muscle pain.  Rats given high doses of Fosamax develop tumors of the thyroid and adrenal.¹

Building bone is a two stage process.  Firstly, old, brittle bone is removed.  This is done by a cell called the "osteoclast".  The second stage is the building of new bone by a cell called the "osteoblast".  Fosamax prevents the removal of old bone by poisoning the osteoclast cells.  Bone density does increase with Fosamax, but it is old bone.  Studies on Fosamax are generally not carried beyond 4-6 years.  Research on a similar drug, Didronel (etidronate) showed that the fracture rate of women began to increase at this point in the study.¹

My mother, Lucille, was told at the age of 44 that she had bones "like a little old lady".  She started on Chelated Cal-Mag®,  Cod Liver Oil™,  and Formula IV® (Greenies).  A few weeks on the supplements resulted in such a remarkable turn around that the physician asked Lucille if she could get some of the supplements she was taking for him and his nurse!  The bone had healed in half the time he expected it to.  This was how our experience with GNLD began.  Today Lucille is in great condition thanks to the good nutrition GNLD provides.
