Fosamax: TURNING BONE TO MARBLE

Fosamax: TURNING BONE TO MARBLE

 

Other non-estrogen drugs which are prescribed to supposedly reduce

the chance of osteoporosis, have serious side effects. In his video,

Dr. James Lee outlines the dangers of a very popular drug named

Fosamax. It's actually quite simple. Again, living healthy bone must

go through a constant process of old cells being replaced by new

cells, so that every few years we have an entire new skeleton.

 

Osteoclasts are cells that tear down bone; osteoblasts build new

cells in those spaces. Got that? OK.

 

The intellects behind Fosamax have decided that if they can stop the

osteoclasts from doing their normal job of tearing down bone, this

will prevent osteoporosis. How? '

 

By the buildup of Fosamax crystals in the bone, which just stay

there long after a normal lifespan, which artificially stops the

removal system - the osteoclasts. Now there are no spaces in which

new bone cells can form.

 

The Fosamax crystals cannot be broken down by the body, and remain

in the bone for 15 or 20 years, taking up space, and offering an

artificial, plastic-like composition in what should be normal

healthy bone.

 

Dr. Lee tells us that modern Fosamax is 1000 times more potent than

the original drug.

 

Even the manufacturers caution against indiscriminate long term use

of this drug:

 

on p 1657-8 of the 1998 Physicians Desk Reference we find that:

 

" bone formation is ultimately reduced Fosamax decreases the rate of

bone resorption [tearing down] directly, which leads to an indirect

decrease in bone formation. "

 

Decreased bone formation? Does that sound like something that's

going to maintain normal bone and prevent osteoporosis in your

golden years?

 

Dr. Lee and many others don't think so.

 

The PDR also tells us that they have no idea what effects Fosamax

may have after four years! (p1661)

 

Here we have a prime example of the philosophical difference between

allopathic and holistic medicine: they forgot that Mother Nature

Always Bats Last. You can't arbitrarily interfere with one half of a

complete life process like bone synthesis and expect no adverse

consequences.

 

With Fosamax, we have arrogantly overpowered the body's normal

system of bone building which has developed and maintained the

skeleton just fine for the person's whole life, by pretending that

one phase of that system exists in isolation from the whole rest of

the endocrine Internet, and can be omitted with no consequences.

 

Doctors trick women by telling them that Fosamax will increase " bone

mineral density " but what they don't tell them is that the new

mineral is not calcium and is no longer part of the living dynamic

process which has maintained their bones their entire lives.

 

This is not yet even mentioning the side effects of Fosamax:

 

- kidney disease

- ulcers

- heartburn

- joint pain

- headache

- rash

 

Fosamax is a risky, artificial approach to osteoporosis which

pretends like the problem can be divided up into separate, distinct

unrelated phases, like with a car. Same old idea, over and over:

another drug in search of a market.

 

Same old story. Osteoporosis is big business. Big business to keep

it happening, and big business to treat it. The dairy industry, the

meat industry, the soft drink industry all keep it happening. The

HRT industry, the nursing home industry, and the hospitals gain from

the treatment of osteoporosis. John McDougall explains:

 

" The diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis is so profitable

because millions of people unwittingly weaken their bones, making

them dependent for the rest of their life on diagnostic tests and

drug therapy that slows the disorder but never cures it. "
