(NaturalNews) Bisphosphonate bone drugs have been in the news recently, and if you look outside the mainstream media you will find that the news is not good at all. Instead of a product that actually cures illness or corrects deficiencies, bisphosphonates are just the latest scandalous skeletons in the closet of Big Pharma. Like many other skeletons in the closet, they are no more than scam drugs created for profit which cause more harm than good.
Besides the fact that these drugs do nothing to contribute to healthy bone growth and osteoporosis prevention, they also pose grave health dangers as Byron Richards reported in Natural News:
"The most recent study released last month "showed that 2.5 to 3 percent of patients taking bisphosphonates experienced atrial fibrillation and 1 to 2 percent experienced serious AF, including hospitalization or death. Patients taking bisphosphonates were more likely to experience AF than patients receiving placebo and up to two times more likely to experience serious AF than patients receiving placebo." Based on the estimated number of American women taking this type of bone drug it means that, conservatively estimating, 100,000 to 200,000 women are seriously injured or killed by bisphosphonate-caused atrial fibrillation every year."
Bisphonates also increase the risk of bone fracture, can cause necrosis (tissue death) of the jaw bone, and reports of severe muscle pain; osmetimes permanent have been reported.
Another fact not being told by the doctors is takes about 10 years to get these drugs back out of the body after taking the drugs have ceased.
