I am getting most of my opinion from my mentor, Dr. Pam Popper of the Wellness Forum. These are my words not hers, but if you believe in treatment rather than prevention, and drugs, and all the medical procedures for treatments, then you need these tests. Personally, I believe the bone density test was created to sell the related drugs, high cholesterol -- remember Tim Russert? He died of a heart attack with excellent blood work! So, I stay away from the doctors and I practice and try to get better and better every year at eating whole foods, less and less to nearly zero processed, drink lots of filtered water and exercise. I am 57, post menopause, take no hormones and no drugs (I take Juice Plus and supplement with vitamin D and that's it!) and I am active and healthy. I just went water skiing and skied every day for 4 days in a row! I ride a motorcycle, I never want my grand kids to think of me as old! If you are new to this path and already have disease there are many practitioners who can guide you to optimal health with diet and lifestyle.
