Fighting osteoporosis
Naturally – and winning.
I was diagnosed in 2004.

Two decades of real data, real recovery, and real faith.

WHY THIS SITE EXISTS
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
When I got my diagnosis, there was no one telling me that food could change and renew bone quality.

The Mystery of My Osteoporosis Revealed
On my first visit to Dr. Rogers, he took a drop of my blood and put it on a slide. He then performed a “dark field examination” using a combination microscope/TV viewer, so that I could see my blood in action. What I saw shocked me! Damaged, misshapen blood cells stuck together in clumps of […]
