-The Danish epidemiologist Brot studied 500 healthy women ( that is they were not drawn from a population with particular health issues) aged 42 to 58 and concluded that in this group bone density was strongly inversely proportional to 1,25 D levels ( that is low bone density was strongly associated with high 1,25 D levels) and only rather weakly directly proportional to 25 D levels. The sample was chosen randomly - and was not done to test the impact of any particular treatment programme.

 When patients with an elevated level of 1,25-D are given Fosamax (or other biphosphanates), it can cause calcium deposition into the soft tissues, reduced organ function and possible osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). All these meds have some effect on the immune or endocrine system and are, therefore, to be avoided. When patients with an elevated level of 1,25-D are given Fosamax (or other biphosphanates), it can cause calcium deposition into the soft tissues, reduced organ function and possible osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ).
