About Osteopenia3.com - ownership:

Osteopenia3.com is owned and edited by Kate Lindemann Ph.D Professor emerita Mt. St. Mary College, Newburgh, New York and Senior Scholar at the Center on Aging and Policy.  When I was diagnosed with Osteopenia, I was concerned...well, really I was scared. The idea of my bones getting thin really troubled me.  A year or so later my dexa scan showed Osteoporosis. I was prescribed a medication but I did not react well to it and when I read some of the side effect of others, I decided there must be another way.

 I was a college professor so I did what was normal for me.  I began reading research - especially studies about non-pharmacological ways to reverse bone loss. I was amazed at how many ways there were.  After considering many alternatives, I decided to try some and rebuild my bone density. My next dexa scan showed no further bone loss and slight increase in density of the bones of my spine.  After a couple years my dexa scan was 'normal'. I had reversed my  bone loss!  In fact my spinal bone density at age 74 was +3.5! (Even my physician was surprised)

Not long after I was driving to work and an uninsured driver ran a red light, crashed into my car and I suffered trauma that led to my retirement. A few years later I decided to start this web site. I wamted share what I learned about Osteopenia and Osteoporosis: how to prevent it and how to reverse it. 

Then at age 76 I had several major health issues.

I was hospitalized and had a long recuperation. All that bed rest led to bone loss again. So I went back to using a number of natural treatments listed on this site.  Again I succeeded in  increasing my bone density. We can build new bone - at any age.

No, I do not tell you exactly what I did or urge you to do the same. Why? The more I study, the more I am convinced that there are many different CAUSES of Osteopenia and Osteoporosis. I am convinced that when we find the specific causes for our own bone loss and choose remedies that relate to those causes we are more likely to reverse it AND we will be able keep our bones strong as we age. This is one reason why I urge everyone to read Causes page early in their efforts to improve their bone density.

I know that many authors say: Do THIS and you will have stronger bones....and their system works for those whose bone loss respond to that particular treatment But those whose bone loss is due to other causes, may not have success. Different causes need different treatments. That is why you will NOT FIND a 'one solution fits all' on this web site. Instead, I offer you information and the results from scientific research studies about CAUSES and OSTEOPENIA & OSTEOPOROSIS TREATMENTS

Research About Osteopenia. Because I am a college professor, I value research backed information. Also my college association gives me privy to International meetings and their papers. So everything on this site uses research studies AND if a particular treatment has no scientific data to back it up, I tell you that too.

I continue to read research about Osteopenia and Osteoporosis - both pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical treatments. Why? I want to provide YOU with the latest science based information and research results.

The subject of reversing bone loss has become a personal cause for me - in part because of all the marketing hype I see. There are so many who say OUR product or our plan WILL reverse your bone loss. Few of these ads show research studies to back their claims.

Even fewer tell you  that there are different Causes of bone loss and that finding and addressing your own specific causes of  bone loss is a way to get permanent improvement.
