Sara DeHart was an inspiration to me and others. Ten
years ago, when I started looking for alternatives to Fosamax, there was little
information about strontium citrate (SC). Strontium ranelate was registered in
Europe in 2004 for postmenopausal osteoporosis. I started using SC on January
21, 2008, and Sara's first article about strontium and osteoporosis was posted
July 7, 2008.
Sara DeHart wrote three case studies about her struggle with osteopenia and fragility fractures while taking osteoporosis drugs. Only after taking strontium citrate with sufficient vitamin D3, calcium, and magnesium did the fractures cease. She later added vitamin K2 as well. I wrote a post about each of her articles on strontium.
Sara underwent radiation for inoperable throat cancer in 2000 and again for ductal carcinoma in situ in 2016. Of course, she wrote about those experiences and how to minimize the risk of radiation skin burns. She was a medical professional, professor, and writer until the end. She died November 8, 2017, three weeks short of her 86th birthday.
