This book is long on criticism, big on print, and short on supporting data or references.

Heres the passage where the author explains how the Program will benefit its audience (presumably osteoporosis patients.)

Osteoporosis is in fact not really a disease but rather the bodys attempt to correct a certain biochemical imbalance in body tissues. This imbalance can be reversed by mainly following simple dietary guidelines that are explained in great detail in a later chapter.
Note that this carefully-worded passage describing the Programs benefits DOES NOT MENTION BONE, BONE DENSITY, OR FRACTURE RISK.

Why might that be?
If the author had references to solid data backing up her bold-sounding claims, why wouldnt she include them? That would only benefit patients and help sell her Program.

Odd for a program called Save Our Bones!

I missed the simple guidelines. There was a lot of nutritional info with dietary suggestions, many recommended supplements, and some information about the alkaline diet, but I didnt see a simple, straightforward Program to follow as promised in the excerpt above.

In addition to sidestepping the subject of whether or how much the Program will improve bone density or reduce fracture risk, the book discredits much about the traditional approach to osteoporosis treatment--without giving sources or directed references to research that backs up the criticism. Maybe I missed it. If this info is in there, please direct me to it.
