So if dentists accidentally discovered that people taking the bifosbinate drugs like FOSMAX and Boniva

sometimes see their jawbones die, I kind of doubt that it's just the jawbone that's dying and rotting

in people taking osteoporosis drugs? Is anybody even tracking what happens to people

who take these drugs? As millions of people are now prescribed them and trust their doctor,

that the drug is going to somehow build or support healthy bone mass. Call me cynical, but it seems

to me that the bone scans are the marketing tool to get people into the billion dollar osteoporosis drug industry.

Hey, I'm Robin Openshaw. I'm Robin Openshaw. I'm the Green Smoothie Girl online.

And I want to tell you why I don't get bone scans.

So about 30 years ago, suddenly there was this epidemic of osteopenia and osteoporosis.

So why suddenly did you become aware that supposedly everyone's bones have thinned and you've got

thinning bones if your Dexa scan isn't high enough? Well, there's five reasons why I personally don't get

the Dexa Bone Scan and why I don't think it's a good indicator of your overall bone health and why

I think it upsells you into taking drugs that may actually be harmful. And what I do to

retain my own bone mask without worrying about these scans or taking the pills they prescribe. First of all,

the bone scan was invented and launched in 1994. That is only 30 years ago. And of course, in the

beginning, it was the eighth wonder of the world because we had no reason to question it. Now, though, we've had 30 years to observe what happens to people who take

phosomax or the other biphosponate drugs that they're going to prescribe you for osteoporosis and osteopenia.

And I'll get into whether they work and what the adverse events are in just a minute. But both of these

diagnoses, osteopenia and osteoporosis, are just made up words corresponding to arbitrary

measurements based on the Dexas scan scores. So the first issue I have with this is that we don't
