To make matters worse, bisphosphonates increase the risk of so called “atypical” femur fracture, hence even if they work to prevent neck of femur fracture, the outcome regarding femoral fractures would be six or half a dozen. I’m beginning to think most of allopathic medicine is just outright fraud.
What about the effect of fluoride on the bones? I had been lead to understand that a lot of what is diagnosed as osteoporosis (whether by the DEXA scans or other means) is in fact skeletal fluorosis. I wonder what your understanding of this is, Robyn? Thank you... Mary
I'm getting quite deafened by all the medical myths crashing to earth now - and so the mass population screening BMD bites the dust. Again, a well-researched article.
What is it about doctors and governments latching on the preventative screening programs when they toss up such a high rate of false positives for people who are really at no risk but still have to undergo invasive medical procedures to confirm or deny their test result or get glued on to a lifetime of drugs with all their downsides.
One starts to think that the profit motive is driving it all - the testing industry must be a pretty profitable one. Or is it just that doctors are a bit lazy and prefer a mass op screening test result to actually understanding their patient's risk profile and ordering tests and other diagnostic tools only for those who would really benefit from it?
The colorectal cancer FOBT mass pop screening program also comes to mind as overdue for felling with its 95% false positive rate and risk of abdominal perforation from the dreaded probe that results.
Screening programs are money-spinners for all concerned: the companies that make the testing equipment/kits, the companies that make the treatments, and the doctors who gain 'patients' they never would have otherwise had, from the ranks of the worried well.

Nice. I take 5000 iu Daily in winter, not particularly concerned anymore about overdosing, after i listened to a Darkjorse podcast about Vit D (and Covid). The d minder app is great, though the novelty has worn off.
I’m starting to believe that the west may collapse under the burden of expensive and often unnecessary medication.
Inappropriate, ineffective and overpriced medical treatment is just one of the ways that the west is being brought to its knees. Aside from the unsustainable expense, the medical system promotes a culture of dependence that infantilises people, making them easier to control.

Aha, you've pre-empted my next article which is on the dangers of bisphosphonates - stay tuned!

Excess fluoride is definitely damaging to bone health but I haven't yet looked into what proportion of fractures are attributable to it. Fluoride's effect on brain development is now well-established: https://empowertotalhealth.com.au/yes-fluoride-really-does-harm-the-human-brain/
Every article is a redpill. Thank you, Robyn!
Thanks for being willing to read!

A timely article given recent advice from my local pharmacist to get a BMD scan due to age. I'll make sure I share this article with him!
Let me know what response you get.
