How dangerous are most osteoporosis medications? Medications like Fosamax actually make a patient's bones dangerously weak and that is just the beginning. Other side effects include chronic or acute joint/muscle and bone pain, sudden serious fractures of the femur, atrial fibrillation, osteonecrosis of the jaw, inflammatory eye disease and now cancer of the esophagus.
The osteoporosis scam goes something like this. First you need to invent a machine that legitimately measures bone density. Then you have to petition top levels of government in order to convince them that this sort of testing equipment is needed in every hospital across the country.
It is important to never tell the public or the government officials that all testing equipment is currently designed to accelerate the sales of medications and surgeries. Since neither the testing equipment, nor the drugs they are designed to sell, help any patient actually reverse osteoporosis it is obvious that anyone involved in this deceptive process cares very little for the long term health of their patients.
Again, reversing bone density is never the aim. Medicating the patient for as long as possible is the primary goal. The secondary goal is to associate the osteo drugs with getting a passing grade on the bone density scan.
The next thing to do is for the drug and equipment manufacturers to high jack the government's cross country advertising network, at no charge to themselves. (we pay for that) The manufactures of the osteoporosis medication and the osteoporosis testing equipment convince the government to engage in a cross country campaign advertising the dangers of low bone density. Low bone density is indeed unhealthy, so that much is true but that is where the truth abruptly ends.
The first three ingredients in the osteo scam are: 1) inflated prices charged for the testing equipment, 2) a free government backed advertising campaign to get the general public running away from healthy food/activities and toward tests that convince them they need drugs and 3) an ever growing number of over-eager government employees looking to tow the company line at all costs. (even if their mandate decreases the health status of their fellow citizens)
The profit in this situation is obviously astronomical. No normal business expenses and not many who will ever question what prices are being charged for the scanning equipment.
If the hospitals are out of money and already running a deficit the powers that be will just go get the city's group of perpetual do gooders (every town has got these people - people who back anything without question) to raise money for the osteo machine. These groups usually do this with or in conjunction with foods/activities that cause the same diseases they are raising money for. Money is raised, celebratory pictures are taken, the do gooders feel great/promote their businesses and the local population just gets more ill. You can never buy health, you have to "do" health. Health takes time and not money.
The goal of the advertising campaign is to create fear and panic. (similar to what you see with Garadsil, flu vaccines, cholesterol etc) As the villagers start to panic, you plant the bone density scan and it's associated miracle drug as the knight in shining armour who will save the poor villagers from their life of broken hips etc. Once a patient is tested to have low bone density the people involved have to make sure never to tell the patient that what they eat is the primary factor (if not the only factor) involved.
In the next step we see a jump from scam to potential conspiracy as most of the drugs that are promoted to treat osteoporosis actually increase fractures and make bones dangerously weak.
Although it is hard to believe, most osteoporosis medications will help the patient pass the bogus bone scan test even though the bones become weaker while on the medication. Fosamax and other drugs similar in nature (bisphosphonates) actually stop the bone matrix from moving dead bone into the blood stream. This is a natural process, as dead bone is removed and new bone is produced in it's place. Medications like Fosamax actually prevent the dead bone from leaving, leading to what looks like an increase in bone density but it is just an increase in dead bone.
Dead bone is weak and more dangerous. So the patient thinks they are doing a good thing but their health decreases rapidly. Much of the body's immune system is housed within our bones so it is also no surprise that this class of medication has been linked to increases in infections, including some forms of cancer.

That is why Fosamax is the target of many class action law suits, most focusing on the accelerated decay of bone. These dangerous decreases in bone integrity are first found in the jaw (because that joint is used frequently when we talk or eat) and then the decay moves to other lesser used bones/joints like the hips and back.
