Bone drugs may be great at raising cancer risk but bad at building bones

Osteoporosis drugs linked to cancer threat

If you’re a woman over 50, keeping your bones healthy is a daily battle. And if you’ve had the bad luck of receiving an osteoporosis diagnosis you’re always just one slip and fall away from painful fractures that can alter your life forever.

In fact, bone-robbing osteoporosis raises the risk of breaking your hip by 400%-500%! But, as bad as that risk can be things could be worse…MUCH worse.

And they are worse for many women who may have become the latest victims of yet another dangerous and ineffective osteoporosis drug.

Hundreds of thousands of women per year have been snorting daily doses of Miacalcin and Fortical, inhalable osteoporosis drugs to strengthen their bones. But what the research has uncovered about these drugs is guaranteed to turn your stomach.

Miacalcin and Fortical may actually be better at increasing cancer risk than they are at preventing bone breaks. And it’s not just me saying it. An FDA panel voted recently that no American woman should EVER be given Miacalcin or Fortical again for the prevention of osteoporosis.

And if that seems like some rare decisive action by the FDA, sadly it’s not. You see, other studies have shown that some women who took these drugs were increasing their chances of developing life-threatening cancers.

So while the FDA did make the right decision it should have come a lot sooner.

And while Miacalcin and Fortical could potentially up cancer risks, guess what they likely don’t do? Build bones. That’s right — the evidence that either of these drugs does a darned thing to prevent bone breaks is thin at best.

When it comes to preventing osteoporosis, it’s clearer than ever that Big Pharma doesn’t have the answers. The good news is that Mother Nature does. In fact, she has provided you with all the tools you need to keep your bones rock-strong well into your golden years.

Strontium, calcium and vitamin D have all been proven time and again to promote strong, healthy bones, as have magnesium, vitamin K, boron and manganese.

To monitor the progress of your bone-building program, Dr. Wright recommends a simple NTx urine test. The NTx test can show you very quickly how your bone-building program is working — and allow you to modify it as necessary.
