INVENTING ILLNESSES: OSTEOPENIA AND OSTEOPOROSIS
|
It's hard to know what is real anymore when it comes to your health. On the one hand we have ridiculous claims and fraudulent advertising from the "alternative health camp"--used to sell their bogus products. And on the other hand we have the medical community which has been inventing illnesses from high cholesterol to blood pressure to osteoporosis in order to sell their products and services.
My goal is to keep you from getting scared into a panic. Here's how it works with osteoporosis. It starts with a diagnosis of osteopenia, or a "reduction in bone mass to below normal levels." Did you know that just a decade ago this disease did not exist! And osteoporosis was only diagnosed after a fracture had taken place! |

Osteoporosis is an invented disease. That's right. A bunch of "experts" met and designed some criteria about bone strength, and overnight millions of women who went to bed healthy woke up with a disease! Most of the criteria are based on the newly invented DEXA bone scanning machine. This machine provides a T-score which reveals how much your bone density is below "normal..' But normal is the bone density of a healthy 25 year old–-not too sensible if you are 75 years old!
So if a DEXA score is -1 to -2.5, the patient is now `sick and suffers from osteopenia. If the score is less than ~2.5. the diagnosis is osteoporosis. That's how simple it is! Based on this alone literally millions of women will be lined up for a lifetime of dangerous and ineffective drugs like Calcimar, Miacalcin, Evista, Fosamax, and more. If you are 75 years old and your-DEXA score isn't below a normal, healthy 25-year.~old. I'd like to hear about it. And don't let your doctor put you into a panic or on drugs for life for a disease that did not exist 10 years ago--a disease that has been invented by "experts" to sell DEXA machines and drugs.
Osteoporosis is not a joke. But the medical diagnosis too often is. And none of the drugs have been proven to prevent fractures. As always be smarter than your doctor. Take care of your skeleton and avoid all the medical procedures and drugs that weaken bones. Don't panic.
