Eating a well balanced diet of whole foods, which helps the body maintain a neutral ph, will improve many conditions, including osteopenia and osteoporosis.
Ensuring an adequate supply of minerals including calcium, magnesium, and other minerals is essential.  supplementing with strontium, vitamin D, and Vitamin K will aid in bone strength. Daily exercise must also be part of any bone strengthening regimen. All of these components comprise oone and holistic way to treat osteoporosis, without the risk of any serious adverse effects. Bone and overall health will improve, but, most importantly, people will feel better on this regimen.

Osteoporosis drugs such as bisphosphonates(Actonil, Fosomax, Raloxifene, Evista) should not be used, or at least used as a last resort. They have too many adverse effects and they are too disruptive to the body's normal physiology. Remember, you can't poison a crucial enzyme or block an important receptor for the long-term and expect a good result.
