Summary

A leading medical expert, William N. Taylor, M.D., examines here in great detail the osteoporosis epidemic. Dr. Taylor explores the relationship between the sex steroids and basic bone metabolism and the correct methods for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis. He also provides questions and answers regarding specific cases.
Due to societal apathy and medical ignorance, few know that osteoporosis is preventable, treatable and, in some cases, curable. The keys in preventing this abnormal aging process of bone are relatively simple and inexpensive.
