Publisher Description: Ours is a nation of poor nutrition, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and lacking in exercise. As a result, osteoporosis is becoming more prevalent, affecting over 40 million Americans--a staggering number comprised of both men and women--oftentimes with devastating consequences. A silent disease, for many, it remains undiagnosed until a fracture occurs, which can lead to dramatic changes, such as loss of independence or even death. Designed to give patients hope, The Silent Stalker: A Patient's Guide for Understanding Osteoporosis is a supplement to proper medical treatment, offering those diagnosed with this condition information crucial to understanding and combatting osteoporosis, leading to a more productive lifestyle with the possibility of reversal of the disease.
Being at one time osteoporotic himself, Lieberg saw the need to educate patients on osteoporosis, the most common disease that will affect us all.
