You should get exercise, including strength training, for bone health. Have you read that the FDA is more than doubling the amount of Vitamin D daily. Take 800-1000 units a day. Avoid soda or carbonated drinks. High phophorus throws off your metabolism. It makes you need more calcium and magnesium.

Here is a good article:

This site does sell vitamins, but it does lots of research and presents it well.
