Try Telemedicine to get an MD or a Nurse Practitioner (who can also write prescriptions) to write you a prescription for bone loss.

As I am not a fan of strong pharmaceuticals, and prefer a more natural approach to healing, so I had my doctor (who is a Functional Medicine doctor and a Nutritionist) write three prescriptions for more natural Osteoporosis treatments:

(1) Fosteum Plus from mail order pharmacy, Blink Pharmacy

(2) Generic Estradiol patches (2 per week dosage), and

(3) 100 mg Progesterone capsules (one per night dosage), as I still have my uterus. If you do not have a uterus, you will not need to take the progesterone, just the estradiol.

But, if you have a family history of cancer, you should talk with your Doctor prior to starting on hormone replacement therapy. But, the good news is that current research is showing that the low doses prescribed in these Estradiol patches are generally very safe, even for women in menopause.

An addition, I go to an "OsteoStrong" gym once a week, I take 1200 to 1500 mg of MCHA calcium, vitamin D2, and vitamin K4 per day.

I had pretty bad osteoporosis and a broken arm (from the osteoporosis) prior to starting this treatment. Two years later, my follow-up DEXA Scan showed that my overall bone density has increased by 10%, and I am no longer classified as having osteoporosis. I am now classified as having osteopenia (slightly low bone density).

I will continue with this program for another 2 years, and hopefully after my next DEXA scan, I will find that I no longer have osteopenia either, and have returned to a fully normal bone density.

I hope this information helps you.

Debjoy, thank you for your helpful answer. As we are without a family doctor now, I will see if the bone surgeon out here can get me in to see an endocrinologist in Winnipeg, about an 1 1/2 hour drive, but quite do-able. It may take a few months...but I'll try.

Hi Lynn, I am in the Ottawa area. There are a group of endocrinologists through the hospital. You need a referral from your family doctor. They are much more experienced and know more than a family doctor. I get regular monitoring with blood tests, kidney scans and DEXA scans. Any big cities will have a system in place. Just a matter of getting in the door. I have an hour drive, but it is worth it. Hope you get an endocrinologist soon. Debjoy

Rutie,
Oh, I know there are all kinds of helps in the U.S., but that doesn't transfer to our system in Canada. Universal health care up here, in Canada, is basically broke. Many provinces are experiencing a severe shortage of doctors and nurses... I was hoping to hear from any fellow Canadians, who else they may go to, since we do not have easy access to any specialists (endocrinologists, etc). I'll stick with Alendronate for now as well as my supplements.

Hi Lynn,

I live in Minnesota USA ... The OsteoStong gyms are in the USA. You could call there Headquarters though to see if there are any plans to open some in Canada, if they aren't already there.

Best regards,
