One Leads To Another

My bone crumbles
        Osteoporosis to blame 
      if bones should crumble then I'll take tumbles
        and life won’t be the same
  eating calcium rich cheese, so Doc will be pleased
  Stilton ~ Cheddar ~ Brie… calcium rich guarantees
    no longer are my bones diseased
  Cholesterol high ~ statins no cheese ~ Doc grumbles

anne, do not forget the vitamins k and D! Also, lots of natural vitamin C is the backbone to good bone health. I was poisoned by my doctor who had me take injections of prolia (when I did not even really need it since my bones were not that bad) I am fighting side effects from Prolia which refuses to leave my body. Whatever you do, if your doctor suggests Prolia Do NOT take it (do the research on it). Congrats on your well deserved win.

Many thanks Andrea for your advice - I have never heard of Prolia, but I will certainly never take it, how awful for you, I am so sorry to hear that. Thanks also for your congrats, with kindest thoughts Ann xx

MD's do not understand that women with low cholesterol have greater chances of Alzheimer's. But will lay off giving other advice. Ann, get into a mild exercise class. Eating high CA products is not enough.., I love cheese as you do but don't eat much of it. Good piem, BTW PANAGIOTA
