Reviewing McCormick’s The Whole-Body Approach to Osteoporosis

As one grows older, one may be susceptible to many diseases. One of these diseases is osteoporosis which is known to be common among women aged 50 and above. Despite it known to be common among women, it is still affecting a significant number of men. Clearly, this is a medical condition everyone should be careful about. Thankfully, there are things that may help us in this situation like McCormick’s book of The Whole-Body Approach to Osteoporosis and a drug called Fosamax. Now, the question is, how can McCormick’s book help one in the battle against osteoporosis? By the way, for those concerned about the issues involving the drug, two women recently filed a Fosamax femur fracture lawsuit.



The book will straightforwardly tell you that your osteoporosis will not be cured by medicines alone. It can help but it won’t address everything. This is where The Whole-Body Approach to Osteoporosis book will come in. The book’s main goal is to restore bone health through a program that combines strategies from different schools of medicine. In this book, information such as what food to eat, choosing supplements and medications, factors contributing to your bone loss, and signs and symptoms that will be helpful in monitoring the health of your bones. Questions regarding how credible this book is will sure come up. There is nothing to worry about because the author of the book, R. McCormick DC is a chiropractic physician who is knowledgeable in the field of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Clearly, this book can help anyone in trying to be safe from osteoporosis and in terms of keeping the bone healthy.

Right now, issues have been swarming about osteoporosis medicines such as Fosamax causing people to suffer from a femur fracture, osteonecrosis of the jaw, and other adverse Fosamax side effects. Although the book has not discussed this issue, many people still think that the book will be a great buy. In fact, here’s a review of Miriam Knight who thinks that the book is such a worthy purchase, “Finally! A clear and comprehensive overview of the real contributing causes of osteoporosis, and what you need to do to overcome it. It is always refreshing to see health guidance that is truly holistic, and written with intelligence and integrity. Keith McCormick, a chiropractic physician specializing in bone fragility management, distills the complex and interactive lifestyle, nutritional and environmental factors involved in osteoporosis and osteopenia, its precursor. He clearly explains the biochemistry involved, and offers bone-building strategies that can dramatically reverse the condition with a combination of corrective nutrition, supplementation and appropriate exercise.”
