Fighting osteoporosis
Naturally – and winning.
I was diagnosed in 2004. Instead of accepting the standard story, I started documenting everything – What I eat, how I exercise, how much sunlight I get, what I learned about the myths about osteoporosis, and what I discovered builds healthy bones and what doesn’t. Two decades of real data, real recovery, and real faith.

Trident Gum with Xylitol Review Update
Because I read only the front of the Trident Gum Package and not the fine print on the back, I didn’t notice that Xylitol wasn’t its only sweetener. Trident with Xylitol also contains Aspertame and Sorbitol, which Dr. Rogers does not allow because of their harmful effects on the body! Please see my revisions to […]
