Product Description
Perfect Bones

A Six-Point Plan to Healthy Bones by Pamela Levin, R.N.

Recently declared a pediatric-onset disease by the World Health Organization, osteoporosis currently affects more than 200 million adults and children worldwide. Struggling with paralyzing back and hip problems, registered nurse Pamela Levin began researching methods of healing bone disintegration and discovered that osteoporosis is both treatable and preventable through nutrition. In PERFECT BONES, Levin describes a revolutionary six-point plan for renewing the nutritional balance of bones, reveals how widely prescribed synthetic vitamins can actually have harmful effects, and demystifies the groundbreaking alternative remedy of whole-food concentrates. Outlining a program that has helped thousands gain better bone health, PERFECT BONES proves that it’s never too late to promote strong, healthy bones.

This book contains a wealth of nutritional advice for halting osteoporosis. However, the author recommends specific supplements and while that can be helpful, it does make the reader wonder whether she is writing a book or a long advertisement.

She does mention more than one brand, but Standard Process is a brand mentioned over and over. It is usually available only from health professionals such as nutritionists and chiropractors (although there are some internet sites that carry at least some of their products). I've used that brand and the quality seems good but many of their supplements are not allergy-friendly and this book does not list the ingredients of each product that is recommended. For those of us who must avoid wheat, this is a drawback. I would have liked to see the ingredient lists and even more important, lists of common foods that are highest in the nutrients needed for strong bones.

If you are already working with a nutritionally-oriented professional, this book will provide valuable background information. Otherwise, you probably need to know how to find someone who can guide you in finding out what vitamins and minerals you need, because a book cannot give you a diagnosis and you really need to know something more specific than just that you have osteoporosis or osteopenia if you want to get deeply involved in finding optimal supplements. Also, nutritional information is growing all the time so a professional may have additional tips that are not in any book. Treating osteoporosis is more than a self-help project; you probably need medical guidance even though lifestyle changes including good nutrition are critical to having strong bones.
