Whatever drug or pill they they prescribe, that will only exacerbate the problem. You are only in as bad a condition as they say you are when they compare your numbers to theirs. Their numbers are designed to mask the truth and get you stuck in the medical wheel of misfortune. Health is obtained by adding fewer "chemicals" or no chemicals to your body.
I made the mistake of getting my bone density test years ago. But timing wise, this was after I had gone off statins for good, which I had diligently taken for over a decade before two different kinds gave me muscle soreness. Instead of reacting to the "osteopenia" diagnosis, I bought the book "The Myth of Osteoporosis." I was already skeptical of these measurement type tests that are done to treat conditions requiring a drug, so the book gave me just enough info (and what I confirmed online) to decide to not react at all to the diagnosis.
The bone density test is absolutely ridiculous; the baseline is from healthy, athletic women. I wonder if the typical young woman, not a slim athlete, would even pass the bone density test.
At the time of my diagnosis, I was friends with several older women. Two had actually fallen for the diagnosis, and taken the Fosamax type drug. Both of them immediately felt its effects and stopped taking it, and both continued to worry about long-term effects from the brief time they took it.
I've had one bone density test since then, which my gynecologist encouraged me to do so I could see if there were a trend. Of course, the numbers moved a little bit, as I was in pre-menopause. But I decided then that that would be my last bone density test. And my experience with the statins and seeing how measurement test results are continually manipulated to create more potential patients, makes me super skeptical of any results I get for any of these type of tests. Even blood pressure measurements, which I can't avoid with a normal doctor visit, have been ludicrously manipulated to convince people that they must take a drug. I mean, come on. I don't want to pass out and fall all the time, just as I don't want my jaw to fall off.
Thank you for that! I also have appts for a -2.7 score and I won't take their drugs. I'm also getting dental implants so def don't want them failing because of their stupid drug!
Conventional medicine is treating the test not the patient as Robin Murphy, ND homeopath used to say . Con-med's very definition of disease is wrong. Traditional medicines consider the disease to be All the pathological symptoms - mental, emotional and physical - the patient is experiencing. A treatment must remove or relieve all those sympoms to be considered a success. A truly holistic view of health & disease.
Con-med looks at a few common symptoms or lab numbers to identify a disease. If they can change those numbers or palliate/suppress those few symptoms then they consider their treatment is a success, almost irrespective of "side effects" or long term results. That approach deepens the disease process. As Hering's Law (rule of thumb) of natural healing states, healing must first occur from the inside (more important organ systems) to the outside and in reverse order of the history of occurrence of disease symptoms. Con-med violates this principle routinely leading to more serious disease at a deeper level.
My doctor recently offered me Fosamax again. I pointed out that it can cause thigh bone fractures, so why would I take that? In frustration, she said "aren't there any pills you will take?" I told her I read the inserts on everything. Still trying to find something to improve my lung function so I can get off inhaled steroids.
I was diagnosed with possible interstitial lung disease by my GP. While waiting to see a pulmonologist I started nebulizing glutathione. Three months later pulmonologist found no ILD.
Glutathione could be helpful for your situation too.
I have done that but doesn’t seem to help enough to get off the steroids. I’ve read that nebulizing DMSO can help and I haven’t tried that yet. The steroids damage your immune system, and I seem to always be fighting a cold.
Have you considered very gradually decreasing the steroids while using TheraNaturals L-Glutathione Plus glutathione caps, (opened, and the contents dissolved in a couple mLs of distilled water, and then nebulized); while also taking their "internal" glutathione caps (swallowed) for the gut? (While glutathione taken orally offers very poor systemic absorption of glutathione and couldn't replace nebulizing, it does "work" very well on the stomach itself. Very often, perhaps almost always, the gut is negatively effected by steroid use as well as general "aging"; and oral glutathione use may be an extremely helpful adjunct to address the often underlying cause [of things like shortness of breath, which can also manifest from stomach "issues"]. The oral glutathione pills won't help the lungs per se, but may offer the additional help you're looking for to address the other "source" of the problem contributing to the "lung" issue by helping to fix the gut.) Also, 600 mg of NAC (which can be taken up to three times per day) may be of help with lung issues. This is not medical advice, but simply some points worth pondering.
I can't take pills. I do have both NAC and glutathione in liquid form as well as the capsules for nebulizing. It's tricky to reduce the doseage of the steroids, since it's sold at a particular doseage in a delivery system. I did buy some units that are a lower dose.
To get off the steroids, you need to help your adrenal glands. Steroids damage them. Try taking adrenal glandular ( I have taken Metagenics adrenal glandular) till you are able to get off the inhaled steroids. The adrenal glandular can be stopped easily ( it helps to heal the adrenal glands) as you fix your terrain. Adrenal glandular is the perfect crutch to get off the inhaled steroids and gives you time to fix the terrain.
The Metagenics preparation has B vitamins along with adrenal extract. I found that it worked best for me, compared to other adrenal extracts. I hope, that it will help you.
Progesterone (transdermal cream) increases bone density. Years ago, my mom increased her bone density using it for 6 months in between tests - and her incontinence also resolved.
(Ref - (the late) Dr. John R Lee)
I resolved my intermittent shortness of breath (SOB), seemingly after ridding seed oils for over a year.
I went on an Atkins-keto-ish diet - so low-no carbs, increased saturated fat (lots of bacon!) - and I lost 15 lbs (140 to 125) without ‘trying’, my cholesterol went down 50 points (284 to 234) - but I ‘love’ CHOL after reading several CHOL ‘Myth’ books - and my 2 lipid ratios were fine, even at the highest CHOL. And I dropped 2 of 3 BP meds - and the last one I can no longer take daily - as it drops my BP too much now.
On the SOB, I tended to get an asthma-like feeling in the evenings, 4-5 nights a week, and took BronkAid - which resolved it nicely. But months - a year - later, I was only needing it once a week or almost never. And, IDK correlation vs causation, but it seems that I can ‘bring on’ SOB, a few hours after - a side order of Popcorn Scrimp, or other fried restaurant food.
(The linoleic acid in seed oils has a 680-day half-life - and while I may want that durability in my CAR OIL, I don’t want that in my body!)
(Ref Mercola, among others)
Also, for GP, consider detoxing Aluminum, using Silica, found high in FIJI water at 93 mg’s per liter.
Aluminum is cumulative, toxic and inflammatory. Silica binds tightly to AL in the body (and bones!) and is then excreted.
(Ref Dennis N Crouse or Christopher Exley)
I’ve come to realize we’re kind of ‘on our own’ out here!! Nice that we can ‘put our heads together’ out here in social media land! 😊
This is a difficult area to find alternative treatments. I was working with a naturopath for three years before I went on steroids but I hit a point where I stopped seeing progress.
Were you also, at that time, taking glutathione orally, in conjunction with nebulizing glutathione, to address the often overlooked culprit of "stomach" issues... which contribute to "lung" issues? Perhaps try talking to the folks at TheraNaturals. Found them to be extremely helpful and knowledgeable in this arena.
It reminds me of the Day Tapes from the 1960s. Richard Day lecturing his audience about the NWO of barbarians stated, “people ask wrong questions.” How true!
Going to doctors will give you a diagnosis. Then you need the fix, which the doctor will provide. Maybe I'm reckless, I don't look for a diagnosis. I literally do not know anyone who is not looking for a diagnosis. Even new friends met during the scamdemic years. It is a strange place to stay outside of family, friends and workplace colleagues and reject looking for a diagnosis. Accidentally learning of "germ theory" led me to seeing the med profession for what it is. I was just curious. In 2020 I saw the term "germ theory" and wondered what it was - I found out. It's hard to unsee. It's hard to walk in one direction when everyone else is going in the opposite.
I recently had a MRI as a followup for an inguinal hernia repair as I still had some pain from that area to my testicle . He had told me before hand it was most likely caused by the nerve being irritated by the mesh. the MRI showed nothing as far as any growth in that area so I was relieved but when I asked him about how everything looked including my prostate he confessed that none of that was in his purview as he was just the hernia specialist.

This article is of high value. Medical "screening" is indeed used to develop a record, unknown to the patient, often, that affects many things that happens later in life, including background checks, applications for employment, firearms license applications and driving licenses, and many more issues, like "do not resuscitate" (DNR) orders. Doctors are using this "wellness" check as an opportunity to do more test$$$, often one leading to another, until a "diagnosis$" is attained, and the consequent label is applied to the patient. Doctor's records of each patient are very influential in court proceedings as well, sometimes to the detriment of the trusting patient. It has nearly become necessary to demand to have a lawyer present when speaking to your doctor. Folks need to be more aware of what is happening to them and their health records, at every contact with the doctor, and, as the article points out, to their very health. Iatrogenic disease is a thing. (Medically induced disease/injury). Thank you again, Unbekoming, for this timely article.
Framing as a set of terms and conditions mapped to protocols of reaction.
We learn the world as a set of framing permissions that are largely internalised as 'the way it works'.
But the work of the framing is a risk projection model founded in or expressing fear or pain of loss as the basis for interpreting or validating reality.
Ancient 'trauma' generates learned patterns of conditioned response we call 'thinking', but it's not true reflective reception and exchange of meaning, its a version of 'you've been framed'.
Resting in the unknowability of life as a model, structure or system, allows the knowing field to align living outcomes as an recognition of felt wholeness, appreciation and gratitude.
The attempt to grasp or control life will frame it in terms that then define what can be imagined, or perceived.
Any 'solution' in such terms invests in the framing of life as a claim or offer of escape, overcoming or eradicating the 'problem'.
Only a living discernment can join at 'terrain level' of a real relational exchange so as to recognise the framing assumptions that otherwise run active defaults.
the 'ego' is the outcome of being framed by false claims, offering gain of fiction - or masking cover story - for an identity confliction - actively projecting as if to get rid of as much as to get from. Such framing is not an individual autonomy, but a co-creative choice.
We are co-creative by the law and nature of what mind is and does, but if we set private agenda or a 'self-will' contra to a living desire or true will, the conflicted 'will' splits the mind to a compartmentalised or fragmented breakdown of communication.
The appeal or invocation of external power to regain or restore lost wholeness aligns in surrogate power by mutual agreement or energetic alignment.

In seeking to save a life, we lose it.
Releasing the addictive and fruitless persistence of fighting the trap, allows a sense of connection from outside the frame of the conflict. Despite the fruit being 'real' - its context is falsely framed by the trap.
Our situation is a much more complex development of the monkey trap - but at root the pattern is one where attempts to solve within a false framing persist, and protect it as a repackaging of a cover story that has subsumed or overmasked our true recognition and appreciation of being.
There may also be merit in flipping this to see that we might at some level generate frameworks for the exploration of experience of limitation, or if you prefer - to co-create a 'world' of such experience made tangible, visible and physical - for our own reasons.
Limitation is not always negative. Rules and filters can align to serve and support life as we currently recognise or perceive it in the frame of time and place. Infinity doesn't 'go away' when we focus selectively, but when we select on the basis of a private self-gratification we lose or cover over and discard the felt participation and awareness of the Timeless.

I wonder if you might also continue the train of thought to address how to evaluate potential “(s)care” options when there are concerning symptoms, irrespective of whether diagnostic lines have or have not been redrawn for profit. (E.g., if the 1st lady’s prolapse actually was causing her signs of heart failure.) I’d greatly appreciate your thoughts on this.
In his book, “Death by Calcium”, Dr. Thomas E. Levy, MD states that the major cause of osteoporosis is a focal scurvy of the bones. Scurvy (severe vitamin C deficiency) can be prevented, cured, and reversed with appropriate dosing of vitamin C. Additionally, he recommends supplementing with Magnesium, K2, and D3; and treatment of subclinical hypothyroidism, as proper levels of thyroid hormone are required for skeletal development and peak bone mass.
Linda, if you happen to be in perimenopause or menopause, I highly recommend getting your hormone levels checked by a qualified, bioidentical-hormone specialist. Allopathic doctors have no clue how to properly treat perimenopause or menopause. If you can’t find (highly likely) a bioidentical-hormone specialist in your area, I would recommend Dr. Michelle Sands at https://glownaturalwellness.com. She will work with you remotely (no office visit required).

"There are no right answers to wrong questions!"

Too bad the human beings involved have come under a spell that has them IGNORING the illusions masquerading as truth.

Typical pattern unfortunately used everywhere, including by g0vt, to dupe the Stockholm Syndromed masses into the Hegalian Dialectic.

Esteemed friends: what actions would you take for a T-score of -3.5?
In his book, “Death by Calcium”, Dr. Thomas E. Levy, MD states that the major cause of osteoporosis is a focal scurvy of the bones. Scurvy (severe vitamin C deficiency) can be prevented, cured, and reversed with appropriate dosing of vitamin C. Additionally, he recommends supplementing with Magnesium, K2, and D3; and treatment of subclinical hypothyroidism, as proper levels of thyroid hormone are required for skeletal development and peak bone mass.

Linda, if you happen to be in perimenopause or menopause, I highly recommend getting your hormone levels checked by a qualified, bioidentical-hormone specialist. Allopathic doctors have no clue how to properly treat perimenopause or menopause. If you can’t find (highly likely) a bioidentical-hormone specialist in your area, I would recommend Dr. Michelle Sands at https://glownaturalwellness.com. She will work with you remotely (no office visit required).
