"Gill Sanson's book is a well-researched breath of fresh air that will help women everywhere better trust the wisdom of their bodies." -- Christiane Northrup, M.D.

The Myth of Osteoporosis is a research-based work that provides clear insight into the myths of osteoporosis. These myths motivate both patient and physician into a lifetime of unnecessary testing and drug therapy — therapy that can in fact be life-threatening. Gillian Sanson's well-documented explanation of these myths can spare women great anxiety. She takes the fear out of aging and restores women's sense of control over their bodies. She gives women good reasons for challenging the common way that osteoporosis is handled in the United States and in many other industrialized nations.

A medical expert reveals risks of the most commonly prescribed drugs-and why the drug industry doesn't want consumers to know about them.

Recent scandals involving diabetes drugs, Vioxx, and many other medications reveal the serious and undisclosed risks of some of the most commonly used prescription drugs in this country. In Before You Take That Pill, Dr. J. Douglas Bremner, a researcher and clinician at Emory University whose study on Accutane and depression made headlines, offers an inside look at the pharmaceutical industry, as well as a scientifically backed assessment of the risks of more than three hundred prescribed medications, vitamins, and supplements.

While many drugs are essential to the health of consumers, as Dr. Bremner explains, for many people, the benefits may not outweigh the potential side effects. This book contains warnings that are not on the drug labels. It also exposes tricks of the trade that demonstrate how the profit-making interests of "big pharma" may not always be in line with the safety of the public - from the corruption that exists in the drug approval process to the tactics drug companies use to encourage doctors to prescribe their products. Most important, Before You Take That Pill empowers readers by giving them sound information on specific medications so they can understand and weigh the potential risk themselves. Backed by the latest studies, as well as insight from a doctor who is in the trenches, this book should be on the shelf of every drug consumer.

Inside you'll learn:
·How diet can help or hurt your bones
·How food allergies contribute to osteoporosis

Ready to get serious about your calcium intake? If you are nearing menopause, concerned about osteoporosis, or do not get enough calcium in your diet, then it's probably time. Frequently recommended by physicians, Oscal provides supplemental calcium that may be missing from your diet (the National Osteoporosis Foundation suggests between 1,000 and 1,300 mg a day, depending on your age). Osteoporosis affects middle-aged and older persons, especially Caucasian and Asian women, and those whose families tend to have fragile bones in later years. A lifetime of regular exercise and eating a healthful diet that includes enough calcium, especially during teen and early adult years, builds and maintains good bone health and may reduce the risk of osteoporosis in later life. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Citracal - Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D is unique because it is calcium citrate, a highly soluble and absorbable form of calcium that allows the active calcium to be absorbed into your blood. Regular exercise and a healthy diet with enough calcium helps teens and young adult white and Asian women maintain good bone health and may reduce their high risk of osteoporosis later in life. Citracal is made with calcium citrate which research has shown offers benefits that other calcium sources do not. Unlike calcium carbonate, calcium citrate does not need stomach acid to be broken down, and has unsurpassed absorption even when it is taken on an empty stomach. Calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate supplements must be taken with meals in order to be absorbed by the body. Citracal can be taken at any time, without or without meals. Citracal is ideal for people taking acid-reducing agents such as antacids, H2 antagonists or prescription medications, such as Proton Pump Inhibitors like Prilosec. Citracal is also a logical choice for older individuals, because acid production decreases with age. It is also important to know that the makers of osteoporosis treatments such as Premarin, Fosamax, Miacalcin and Evista recommend that women get a calcium intake of 1,000 to 1,500 milligrams per day. As a calcium source, Citracal is a great choice to help maximize the benefits of prescription osteoporosis therapy. If you have one of the many inflammatory conditions such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, or inflammatory bowel disease, your therapy may include a steroid which side effects include bone loss. Citracal+D can help protect you from osteoporosis. Its action can limit bone breakdown and protect against developing thin and brittle bones. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

muscadine grape seeds contain some of the highest levels of antioxidants found in any tested fruit or vegetable. Unlike common vinifera wine grapes, which can not survive the harsh climate of the southeastern US without the aid of chemical pesticide sprays, Muscadine grapes naturally grow and thrive in the hot, humid and disease-prone climate of the southeastern US. Just like our immune system, which produces more antibodies when under attack, Muscadine grapes produce more disease fighting phenolic compounds (antioxidants) when under stress from disease. Muscadine grapes contain a powerful and unique combination of resveratrol, ellagic acid, gallic acid, opcs and Quercetin, which has been found to be a chemopreventative, very effective as a cholesterol reducer, along with being anti-osteoporotic, and anti-diabetic, and highly anti-inflammatory. muscadine grape seeds naturally produce what is synthetically mass produced in viagra, levitra, and cialis. Because this is an all natural product, nature's pearl muscadine grape seeds don't contain the harsh side effects often associated with many synthetic medications on the market today.
