<p>Hello, my name is Lorna McLeod, I live in Northern British Colombia, Canada and I’m 72 years old.</p>
<p>I’ve always looked after my health, I’ve owned my own health foods store natural foods store for 33 years and taking care of what we eat and our exercises has always been important in our family. In the middle of August, I tried to lift a very heavy bed I was conscious how to lift it, the proper way, using your legs, not your back but when I couldn’t lift it, I tried again very hard and felt this searing pain shoot across from one side to the other on my back. It knocked me to my knees, and I knew I had done something seriously wrong. Upon x-ray, I discovered I had compression fracture and reging in the T-12 I was really surprised and but what surprised me more was that the doctor wanted me to go for a DEXA scan I had never had one and I seriously felt like if I had poor bone health, I would be shattered by now with all the falls and accidents that I’d had. I joked with the doctor like that and actually when I went for my DEXA scan, I joked with the technician, telling him I’m sure I’d be shattered by now if I really truly had thin bones. Much to my dismay, and fear when I got my results back, my scores were very bad. I had in the L-1 to L-4, I was -4.6, In the femoral neck of my… was -3 and my total hip -2.9 I was shocked. I really was shocked. When we came home from that scan and got the results from it my husband and I immediately started searching for something natural. We made it a matter of prayer. My husband searched online and when he found AlgaeCal we looked at it, researched it, I talked to the people, and we decided this was our best decision to try the AlgaeCal. So when I went back for my appointment, my doctor told me I could think about it so when I went back for my appointment, I didn’t go back asking if I could take it, I went back and told her “This is our decision, This is what we’re going to do.” And although she hesitated, she looked at it and said “Well, it does look like a good supplement, I don’t think there’s any science behind it, but you can go ahead and try it.” So, I began faithfully taking the Builder’s Pack both the AlgaeCal and the Strontium I was faithful with it, fast forward to a year from my first DEXA scan, and I kept asking though the year whether I could have another DEXA scan and they told me “No, in Canada you’re only allowed one every three years” and that was it they wouldn’t allow me to have one But I did read that if there was a real medical reason you could have another one and so I talked to her the last appointment that she talked to me on the phone and asked me if there was anything else I wanted and I said “Yes, I would like another DEXA scan” and she said, “why do you want one?” I said, “because I want to know am I staying the same? Am I getting worse, or am I getting better?” And she said, “You know, I really appreciate the way you take care of your health. I will schedule another scan for you.” I was so excited and I couldn’t wait for my results to come back. Well, my results did not disappoint me. I had a 15.4% increase in my lumbar, the L-1 to L-4 I was only a -3.8 where I’d been a -4.6 a year previous, My femoral neck went from -3 to -2.4 and my total hip from -2.9 to a -2.2 which was a 13.9% increase So, I was so happy and on my report, it said significant increase in lumbar as well as in bone density and I will tell everybody to take AlgaeCal it’s very much worth it the price may be a little more, considering the fact I’m in Canada I have to pay in U.S. funds and being on a pension, it’s not easy. But to think of alternative drugs and eventually being in a wheelchair the cost is worth it.</p>
<p>To your health.</p>
