Does Evista cure Osteoporosis??


My mom has Osteoporosis nd we r both wondering if Evista cures Osteoporosis..if u guys can help me i would really apperciate it..im really worried about her nd i would need ur help to find the answer for that question

No. Prescriptions merely prevent the body from shedding dead tissue, thus mimicking the appearance of halting bone loss. By harboring dead cells, you are inviting disease - potentially bone cancer.

Whole foods and exercise. It's not easy, but it's true.

Prescription drugs do not cure disease, they merely suppress symptoms. Side effects associated with these drugs can include additional depletion of essential nutrients which can lead to more chronic conditions.

A better approach to Osteoporosis would be weight bearing exercise, leafy green vegetables which are high in natural calcium, avoiding sugar and refined foods, and herbs such as horsetail, oatstraw, comfrey, and borage.

No, Evista helps prevent further progression of osteoporosis and can help rebuild some bone. All meds for osteoporosis are made to raise the calcium level in the blood to prevent further bone loss. If the calcium blood level is low, the body breaks down bone. This causes osteoporosis. If the level is normal, you maintain, and if the level is a little high, you will build back some bone. There is a level that is too high, but a slightly above normal level allows the body to build bone. However, adults do not build much bone. So, the osteoporosis will never be cured with todays meds anyways. Just know that many of these meds can have side effects. Dental side effects. Many offer a very, very low risk of osteonecrosis. The bone fails to heal and leaves a large area of dead bone. This is very rare and usually occurs in people who have had cancer treatment. There is a low risk in those who have not had cancer, but only when an infection occurs and usually when a tooth has to be extracted. Just be sure all dental work is up to date and keep it that way.

No. Like most drugs, they don't cure, just suppress or cammoflage the problem. Evista does slow down the bone loss if taken for some time. It's side affects aren't as bad as Boniva and others of the same. I use to take it, but now I take OsteoValen, a natural product, and my doctor says it is working better than Evista and no slight side affects like I use to get. Thought I was having a heart attack when I tried Boniva.
