Biphonsophonate Drugs & Osteoporosis

   Jeffrey Dach says that drugs like Actonel and Fosamax, may have
   short-term benefits for osteoporosis patients but that [1]long-term
   use may significantly worsen the condition.

   By the way, although Dr. Dach doesn't endorse this, the discussion
   thread there turned to vegetarian dogma about how animal protein
   causes bone loss. It doesn't. My old acquaintances, Dr. Mary Enig &
   Sally Fallon, have a [2]good, well-referenced treatise on that. Meat
   doesn't cause cause bone loss, although Dach makes a good point about
   an acidic diet causing the problem and vegetable protein being
   somewhat alkalinizing and thus of some moderate benefit.
