<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 />
Michel Poulan, PhD, Sardinia blue<br />
zone area, AKEA study; Christodoublous<br />
Stafanidis, MD, Ikaria blue zone<br />
area; IKARIA study, Makoto Suzuki<br />
MD, PhD Okinawa blue zone area,<br />
Okinawa Cenenarion Study; Luis<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 />
Loma Linda University<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 />
