Avoided that one three years ago, but couldn't get my 77-yr old Sis-in-law to reject her doc's Rx for bone density.

She's been in great shape (active gym) until this year. Her knees now have such painful arthritis she avoids stairs and long walks.

Seems like geriatric doctors' general reckoning of risks is skewed, doesn't it?

Wife was taking Prolia for maybe 5-6 years. She suffered broken bones in both hands due to falls in the last 2 years (not because she is prone to falling) and this year has suffered 6 vertebrae fractures in her back which have been very painful.

So, I am asking myself and her if this crap was helping to create strong bones. More like brittle bones...yes maybe denser according to the bone scan, but not stronger. Damn them doctors to HELL. They are USELESS.

I am so sorry. 😢

They have no clue the damage these meds can do to people. I had a patient injured by a biphosphenate. The tablet got stuck in their esophagus and they didn’t realize it. Burned a hole in the esophagus. Had 3 surgeries, could only consume liquids for several months….still has weakened speech and trouble swallowing certain foods.

I cannot imagine how painful this has been for your wife. Vertebrae fractures are miserable!!!

Yes sir, they’re mostly useless in terms of chronic conditions & longterm health. So sorry about your wife’s issues. Docs don’t do continuing education like they’re supposed to. Most don’t know what they should know, & so they lie to us. They regurgitate what they read in corrupt journals, if they read em at all. They have no idea the mechanisms of action most drugs have on our bodies. The whole organism as one unit. One human Spirit. A human being who matters. They just don’t care. That’s a shame. All the best!

Correct. They just dip into the pharma bag and pull something else out rather than looking at the big picture of the PERSON in front of them. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Sadly this is the story with almost all drugs. They cause other side effects outside what you are trying to accomplish. Then add in the articles coming out about the FDA just blanket approving dangerous drugs with little data, contaminated and dangerous generic drugs that are hardly monitored made in India etc. And the fact that medical intervention is documented as the 3rd most common cause of death in America when it likely is the number 1 cause, it just isn’t documented correctly. Then add in all the millions of misdiagnosed issues annually where people end up taking drugs that likely harm them. And how many doctors actually go over all the contraindications provided to ensure your medical history is compatible?! Let alone provide the information for informed consent. Most people are still just throwing out the documents that come with the drugs. I actually read them now and that alone will make you think twice about most drugs.

And then the cardiologist tries to put you on a Statin for your heart problems, & then you end up with dementia. This is the journey they take you down until you’re in a nursing home & eventually dead. After they’ve sucked all your family’s assets up, & everyone is left in massive medical debt & homeless. Gotta love these doctors. They do what they’re told & follow those protocols to a tee. Or else.

Sounds awful like most drugs and “vaccines” Big Pharma loves to push out.
