Osteoporosis: Medical Blunders and Treatment Strategies

A no nonsense argument for treating osteoporosis as a disease and not an inevitable result of aging for the high percentage of women over 45 who suffer from post-menopausal osteoporosis. Taylor outlines the historical view of the chronic disease, innovative treatment strategies, particularly anabolic-androgenic steroids, and cautions readers about the dark ages mentality of many medical practitioners. Includes a question and answer section spurring discussion from a patient centered focus. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
