The Myth of Osteoporosis By Gillian Sanson In The Myth of Osteoporosis: What Every Women Should Know About Creating Bone Health, Sanson writes about a pervasive set of misperceptions and controversies that surround osteoporosis – from the diagnosis and treatment of the disease to even the definition of the disease itself. |
It is my hope that if you’re a healthy woman, this book by Gillian Sanson will give you the information you need to stop worrying about your bones. At the very least, it will show you how to evaluate whether or not you really need to take medication to prevent something that probably won’t happen in the first place…. Gill Sanson’s book is a well-researched breath of fresh air that will help women everywhere to better trust the wisdom of their bodies.
Christiane Northrup, M.D. Author of The Wisdom of Menopause
Gillian Sanson ’s The Myth of Osteoporosis is a must read! Her research shows that much of the hand wringing and concern that has risen from studies were funded by major drug companies. Ms. Sanson’s thoughtful book offers hope to the reader and presents alternatives to medication.
Mona M. Chang Vierra Ed.D Chairman, United States Forum 2002-2004
Ms Sanson includes voluminous documentation in her book, showing that the medicalization of older women is based on skimpy to non-existent research, and massive promotions of these products…Any woman who has been diagnosed with osteoporosis on the basis of the BMD test, should read this book and share it with her physician.
Excerpt from The Marketing of Fear – a review by Irene Alleger.
Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, December 2003
This work stands out in the sea of hysterical quasi-medical literature designed to scare us into treatments and drugs that may not always be in our best interests. Its calming tone can encourage us to question the diagnosis of osteoporosis, and investigate all of our options for staying well and maintaining excellent bone health.
The Canadian Women’s Health Network. (Excerpt from review by Barbara Bourrier-LaCroix.)
The Myth of Osteoporosis offers reassurance for women who believe that osteoporosis and its accompanying fragility and loss of independence are inevitable parts of aging.
