SaveOurBones has a rating of 3.3 stars from 38 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally satisfied with their purchases. SaveOurBones ranks 6th among Health & Fitness Blog sites.
They say the five star ratings are written by the company so maybe the one star are written by drug company employees. We will never know. I am just a regular woman with no affiliations. I can't even afford the program, but I have read everything that is free on the internet and it agrees with others who are well known and give good health advice on many things. The diet and supplements are recommended highly by several doctors, so they cannot hurt and worth a try. I can say that since following the plan, I feel better overall and my right knee which was painful is not bothering me as much. I am against drugs. Too many side effects. If you don't want to buy right now look up some articles on Save Our Bones to learn a lot for free.
This book cost $70 and contains very basic information about diet and excercise. There is no program only many emails for you to buy more. I emailed several times to ask questions and never received an answer. I called customer service to return the book/program and was told after being sent from one number to the next that there really was no customer service just sales people. Consequently, the book could not be returned. Anyone with severe bone loss should consult several specialists to look at options for treatment of their condition and what the expected results would be with these options.
It looks as though you will get all the merchandise shown for $67. Upon receipt you will only get the bone health book. Everything else is a digital download. All through the web site, this isn't told. It is in italics in the order form. Company says to forward info to a friend or Office Max. You will be spending more money to get this info. Paperback book isn't worth what you pay. Don't order. I'm sending mine back for money return.
I am 83 years old, I have order the bon appetit package books with a money order and after one month and 5 long distance calls I have no positive action from Save our bones. This is my experience about the failed purchase of books of Vivian goldschmidt, MA. From charly (*******@gmail.com Thank you
Tip for consumers:
would anyone care ?
Not only can you find this information online, but their suppositions about milk only apply to pasteurized products, not raw.
Plus, you see all these 5 star reviews? There is no cure for osteoporosis, which usually sets in in your 50s. The original edition of the program was released sometime around 2007, give or take a couple years. Now how would anyone know if the program worked already?
That's how you know it's a scam.
A friend of mine with osteoporosis bought into this program, a few years later her osteoporosis has worsened and she is now looking at serious medication to try save what she has left. The person selling save ourbones is a snake oil saleswoman!
I have followed Vivien for years. Done everything that was recommended. My T score is worse. This programme does not work for everybody. Very disappointing
I had an issue with my order so I contacted their support. They responded fast and had a another Save Our Bones program mailed to me priority. I'm very happy with their support and product.
I have read the adverts for this website. I have not subscribed since i do not have osteoporosis. The reason I dont worry about this disease is that I have not had a bone density exam in 25 years. Like many other medical tests especially given to older people the risk of overdiagnosis is high. Bone density has become the protocol for those over 50. This based on an underlying belief that old age itself is a disease. I refuse to become a victim to this kind of thinking. More and more doctors are telling us that if we lead a good lifestyle, good diet, normal weight, no smoking, little alcohol and plenty of physical activity we can beat the "ravages" of getting older. I believe we need good doctors. I had a fracture the other day after a fall and asked a very eminent Sydney (Australia) hand surgeon if i should take a bond density test. No you dont need that he said you are very active.
I applaud Vivian Goldschmitt. Who is a professional woman. She has dedicated herself to researching the alternative method of building and maintaining healthy bones. Even though she touches on controversial issues like the efficacy of dairy in bone health, I am sure that many doctors would agree 100% with her.
I received a notice from them 5 weeks ago, thanking me for my on-line order for $67.00. I never made an order for their on-line book, and tried to contact them, which is almost impossible. Their 2 listed telephone numbers have been disconnected, forcing you to email them, which I did. Their 1st response came 7 - SEVEN - days later which was very generic. After several more emails, they said they credited my refund to my bank account, which was impossible because I don't have an on-line bank account - I use a credit card for purchases. I have sent several more email, with no response yet. I then contacted one of the Drs. Who is on their "consultation" list. This one at least lives in the U.S. - most are in Belize, Argentina, etc. This Dr. who has nothing to do with the Institute now, and I'm guessing only a brief connection in the past, was very professional in his response, but indicated that maybe things have gotten away from the founder, Vivian Goldshmidt, who is now quite elderly, and who knows how the company may have changed. I refuse to give up on this, but just a warning to others: STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! I wish there was a ZERO star option to give. Obviously, many others have also be scammed by them, based on the reviews.
Scammers! So obvious merely indicated by the lengthy introduction that talks in circles. If this were a product of real value, there would be no need for such hype. You make me sick.
Main stream medicine does not give the truth on preserving bone mass. This book tells it straight and is a really good resource for everyone but especially women approaching menopause.
Its a scam. It claims milk depletes our bones of calcium because it is acidic. Milk is 6.7 on the pH scale. Water is 7. Carbs are way more acidic. Stomach acid is around 2 on the pH scale.
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.
It is obviouse all the five star ratings are from the people who work for the save our bones group/company so are therefore false.
