“Reputable organization is getting attacked by drug manufacturers”

I have evidence that the negative reviews on here are a hit job from the big drug manufacturers. I've sent the evidence to sitejabber but haven't heard back. Please email me at *******@journalist.com and I can provide it. I've followed Save Our Bones for a while and have interacted with the company after purchasing two of their programs. They are most definitely not a scam.

Scammers! So obvious merely indicated by the lengthy introduction that talks in circles. If this were a product of real value, there would be no need for such hype. You make me sick.

A treasure of information and eye-opening information. Wish my doctor told me about many of the studies cited on the website. I plan on purchasing their program but am learning as much as I can from their free resources. Highly recommend anyone interested in improving their bone health to take an honest look. The information and depth of research speaks for themselves.

Not only can you find this information online, but their suppositions about milk only apply to pasteurized products, not raw.

Plus, you see all these 5 star reviews? There is no cure for osteoporosis, which usually sets in in your 50s. The original edition of the program was released sometime around 2007, give or take a couple years. Now how would anyone know if the program worked already?

That's how you know it's a scam.

I will start by saying some emails got my $67 returned quickly.

I purchased $17.00 worth of supplements and then paid $67.00 for the MAIN package. I downloaded the supplements and stapled them. When a month passed I emailed Save and they said the MAIN booklet was a download too. Surprise! After printing 300 or more pages my printer broke, I had used a lot of ink, and paper and the MAIN $67 dollar program turned out to be only the supplemental pages printed twice more in some cases. Not good.

I followed their program (most of it, I didn't exercise as much as I should have) for a little over 9 months and last week I got my bone test results back. I went from osteoporosis to osteopenia and my doctor told me to continue what I was doing. I couldn't be happier and I hope everyone can have access to the program.

The book is very over priced, $67. All the info in on the internet for fee. Don't buy it.
Only 3 pages of reciptes to try. The book should have been at lease quart full of reciptes. I did learn how bad Fosamax is for us and glad I did not take it. Still book is waste of your hard earned money.

I purchased their program and recipe book and I must say that the information provided is very eye opening and insightful. The website really is a great resource too. I'm sure you could get this info elsewhere but the way they put it together is why I highly recommend it.
Not sure why some here say there's no data backing it up. Their website has a bunch of references and the program has a bibliography. I haven't double checked the sources myself but they seem to all be legitimate medical sources. Overall I'm very glad I found Save our Bones.

I found save our bones after being diagnosed with osteoporosis. I wasn't sure if their program would work but was willing to try. The information is sound. After about 13 months I went in for another scan and my doctor couldn't believe her eyes. My T scores were in the osteopenia range. 9 months later I was in the safe zone and didn't even have osteopenia. I'm convinced it was the save my bones program along with the supplements I'm taking. I felt the need to leave this review here so others would know. Very very happy I found this website and I tell everyone I know who can be helped by it that it exists.

I have followed Vivien for years. Done everything that was recommended. My T score is worse. This programme does not work for everybody. Very disappointing

I want to share how many positive consequences this website has. I can't remember when I exactly I bought the book (around early 2000s) but have consistently read all the emails and advice that they so freely share. In 2001 after an MRI and bone density scan a I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. The doctors put me on a path of Fosamax, Actonel, and others, all of which made me very ill. Thanks to Save Our Bones, I stopped the medications, followed the diet, exercises, knowledge, because I had an intense desire to control my own health. All this resulted in a scan which now shows only mild osteoarthritis from too much heavy work but ZERO osteoporosis! My thanks for your dedication.

I am an RN recently retired with a Dexa scan of -2.9... started on Boniva February 1,2018... 2nd pill 3/01/2018 and last night 3/02/2018 I was in (and am in) so much pain I was in tears. I can barely get myself to the bathroom. Today I find out that this back and rib pain is a side effect (rare) of Boniva... OMG I read the literature and NEVER expected rare side effect... come to find out this side effect is NOT that rare, per my pharmacist. I will be reviewing this program and have cancelled the Boniva order.

I have read the adverts for this website. I have not subscribed since i do not have osteoporosis. The reason I dont worry about this disease is that I have not had a bone density exam in 25 years. Like many other medical tests especially given to older people the risk of overdiagnosis is high. Bone density has become the protocol for those over 50. This based on an underlying belief that old age itself is a disease. I refuse to become a victim to this kind of thinking. More and more doctors are telling us that if we lead a good lifestyle, good diet, normal weight, no smoking, little alcohol and plenty of physical activity we can beat the "ravages" of getting older. I believe we need good doctors. I had a fracture the other day after a fall and asked a very eminent Sydney (Australia) hand surgeon if i should take a bond density test. No you dont need that he said you are very active.
I applaud Vivian Goldschmitt. Who is a professional woman. She has dedicated herself to researching the alternative method of building and maintaining healthy bones. Even though she touches on controversial issues like the efficacy of dairy in bone health, I am sure that many doctors would agree 100% with her.

I trust Save Our Bones as my support for my bone health. I'm not one to blindly trust but everything is sourced and my doctor even heard about the website and encourages me to follow it. I took Fosomax for two years and my numbers were not improving. Now I'm drug free and feeling great.

Hi there. I have had osteoporosis for a number of years now. Saveourbones was recommended to me by a consultants wife, after a devastating appointment. I have not bought the e-books but I HAVE received regular emails. They contain helpful and informative info, exercises and recipes. Yes, Saveourbones has advertised their books (I've even considered purchasing some of them and still might), but there is no hard sell. Over the years I have found them supportive and its comforting to know that I am not the only soul who resists the rheumatolagists threats of doom and gloom if I don't take his medication. I am 73, don't work and have no bias toward this company. I just speak as I find.

After discovering the save our Bones website, I devoured all the information I could. The program is great too. I really believe that it's thanks to Save Our Bones that my bone density has increased and my doctor told me out of the osteoporosis range and my scans had a NORMAL reading. My doctor couldn't believe it and didn't seem to interested in learning about what I did. Again, I thank Save Our Bones for my recovery. My doctor didn't even think it was possible. I can't stress this enoug... go through the website and materials if you have bone concerns.

I received a notice from them 5 weeks ago, thanking me for my on-line order for $67.00. I never made an order for their on-line book, and tried to contact them, which is almost impossible. Their 2 listed telephone numbers have been disconnected, forcing you to email them, which I did. Their 1st response came 7 - SEVEN - days later which was very generic. After several more emails, they said they credited my refund to my bank account, which was impossible because I don't have an on-line bank account - I use a credit card for purchases. I have sent several more email, with no response yet. I then contacted one of the Drs. Who is on their "consultation" list. This one at least lives in the U.S. - most are in Belize, Argentina, etc. This Dr. who has nothing to do with the Institute now, and I'm guessing only a brief connection in the past, was very professional in his response, but indicated that maybe things have gotten away from the founder, Vivian Goldshmidt, who is now quite elderly, and who knows how the company may have changed. I refuse to give up on this, but just a warning to others: STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! I wish there was a ZERO star option to give. Obviously, many others have also be scammed by them, based on the reviews.

The Save Our Bones Program has been great for me. I only took 4 weeks of the Fosamax could not take it I broke out in a rash was always sick to my stomach for most of the day (the day I took it)had a head ache every day. Then I found the Save Our Bones Program, ordered it that day (5-26-11) My life has been so much better. I am learning to eat right and I know I can reverse my osteoporosis.

This book cost $70 and contains very basic information about diet and excercise. There is no program only many emails for you to buy more. I emailed several times to ask questions and never received an answer. I called customer service to return the book/program and was told after being sent from one number to the next that there really was no customer service just sales people. Consequently, the book could not be returned. Anyone with severe bone loss should consult several specialists to look at options for treatment of their condition and what the expected results would be with these options.

They say the five star ratings are written by the company so maybe the one star are written by drug company employees. We will never know. I am just a regular woman with no affiliations. I can't even afford the program, but I have read everything that is free on the internet and it agrees with others who are well known and give good health advice on many things. The diet and supplements are recommended highly by several doctors, so they cannot hurt and worth a try. I can say that since following the plan, I feel better overall and my right knee which was painful is not bothering me as much. I am against drugs. Too many side effects. If you don't want to buy right now look up some articles on Save Our Bones to learn a lot for free.
