<strong>March</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />

Loma Linda University School of<br />

Public Health is hosting the Healthy<br />

People in Healthy Communities<br />

Conference, an annual event now in<br />

its 44th year. The conference will be<br />

held on <strong>March</strong> 2 and 3 at the Drayson<br />

Center, and will present its First Annual<br />

Symposium on Blue Zone Science<br />

and Health.<br />

The concept of blue zone areas is<br />

used to identify a demographic and/or<br />

geographic area of the world where<br />

people live measurably longer lives.<br />

Dan Buettner, founder of the<br />

Blue Zones® Project and National<br />

Geographic Fellow, will be on hand to<br />

offer the keynote address on day one<br />

and participate in several informative<br />

sessions.<br />

Also, for the first time, research<br />

teams from the five demographically<br />

and epidemiologically confirmed blue<br />

zone regions (the Italian island of Sardinia;<br />

Okinawa, Japan; Costa Rica’s<br />

isolated Nicoya Peninsula; Ikaria,<br />

an isolated Greek island; and Loma<br />

Linda, California), will congregate<br />

under the same roof, to share their research<br />

findings and draw present day<br />

application for modern communities.<br />

Estudio de Longevidad y Envejecimiento<br />

Saludable, and Gary Fraser,<br />

Loma Linda, California blue zone<br />

area, Adventist Health Study, will<br />

each present research findings from<br />

their respective areas.<br />

The Symposium on Blue Zone<br />

Science and Health underscores Loma<br />

Linda University Health’s legacy<br />

of promoting health, longevity and<br />

wholeness, while creating a platform<br />

for exploring the role of blue zone<br />

areas as a paradigm for public health<br />

practice.<br />

presents Healthy People<br />

in Healthy Communities<br />

Conference <strong>March</strong> 2 - 3<br />

First Annual Symposium on Blue Zone Science and Health<br />

offers insight and data into health, longevity and wholeness<br />

The event takes place when<br />

alumni from Loma Linda University’s<br />

eight professional schools, LLU-La<br />

Sierra graduates, and all current and<br />

former Medical Center and University<br />

staff members, come together for a<br />

weekend of celebration, fellowship<br />

and continuing education opportunities<br />

<strong>March</strong> 2 – 6, on the Loma Linda<br />

University Health campus during its<br />

‘One Homecoming’ event. The ‘One<br />

Homecoming’ weekend will include<br />

many activities which will bring the<br />

groups together for joint activities and<br />

receptions.<br />

It is highly recommended that<br />

you pre-register to attend the Healthy<br />

People in Healthy Communities Conference.<br />

You Can Build Bone Density: Science and<br />

Our Clients Prove it Everyday!<br />

We often hear that time seems to fly<br />

by quicker as we age, and personally<br />

speaking, it couldn’t be more true.<br />

I can’t believe it has been two and<br />

a half years since OsteoStrong Murrieta<br />

opened its doors. Our mission was to<br />

save people, without the use of drugs,<br />

from the devastating effects of low bone<br />

density, also known as osteoporosis.<br />

It appears that our mission is finally<br />

getting some traction, so to speak. With<br />

literally hundreds of members utilizing<br />

our patented BioDensity protocol, we<br />

have routinely been able to demonstrate<br />

marked improvements in bone density,<br />

all without the use of any bone altering<br />

medications.<br />

I am excited to say that we even<br />

seeing members who have returned<br />

their bone density back to within normal<br />

levels, as demonstrated with a central<br />

Dexa Scan.<br />

That being said, even with all the<br />

research and evidence for utilizing osteogenic<br />

loading (OsteoStrong protocol) as<br />

the premier method for reversing osteoporosis,<br />

at times I continue to hear bits<br />

of misinformation, which I would like to<br />

briefly address.<br />

First, osteoporosis in not a “normal”<br />

state of aging which one must accept and<br />

live with permanently. It is a state of<br />

deconditioning which can be effectively<br />

stopped and/or reversed.<br />

Second, it is not an issue that just<br />

happens to “other people, and not me”.<br />

Low bone density is so prevalent that 3<br />

out of 5 women will suffer from it and<br />

50% of women will suffer some form<br />

of osteoporotic related fracture at some<br />

point in their life. And remember, hip<br />

fractures arising from osteoporosis have<br />

nearly a 25% mortality rate within one<br />

year.<br />

The next misconception is important<br />

to take note off. Drinking milk, eating<br />

yogurt or taking calcium supplements<br />

does not build bone density. Without the<br />

proper stimulus to trigger bone growth,<br />

nothing happens.<br />

The true equation goes as follows:<br />

Adequate force (compression) on bone<br />

+ proper mineral intake = bone growth.<br />

Think of it this way; taking extra protein<br />

powder does not make your muscles<br />

grow. Only resistance to the muscle<br />

combined with adequate protein intake<br />

will do the trick.<br />

And speaking of resistance training,<br />

I must lay this one myth to rest. Nothing<br />

against weight training or going to<br />

the gym, which I believe would benefit<br />

almost everyone, but many personal<br />

trainers and health club sales people will<br />

tell you that working out with weights is<br />

an effective means of gaining bone density.<br />

The vast amount of research on the<br />

subject would prove otherwise. Yes, high<br />

impact activities and heavy resistance<br />

training may slow down your bone loss,<br />

but are ineffective at stopping and even<br />

reversing osteopenia or osteoporosis.<br />

The current research states that an<br />

axial force of at least 4.02 multiples<br />

of your bodyweight is necessary for<br />

proper osteoblast stimulation (aka- bone<br />

growth).<br />

This is the primary reason why osteogenic<br />

loading under the supervision of<br />

a trained technician at our OsteoStrong<br />

location is the safest, most efficient and<br />

cost effective means of attaining the<br />

strongest bones possible, all without the<br />

side effects of drugs and medications.<br />

Throw in the added side benefits of<br />

improved balance, decreased joint and<br />

back pain along with marked increases in<br />

muscular strength, and you have a natural<br />

alternative method of improving your<br />

health and life. And please don’t think<br />

for a second that OsteoStrong is only for<br />

weak boned and those slightly advanced<br />

in years. There are massive benefits to<br />

those still in their formative bone building<br />

years (under 22 that is). So please<br />

give us a call or stop by and experience<br />

what OsteoStrong can do for you. Yours<br />

in Better Health, Dr. Derek K. Albrecht<br />
