OSTEOPOROSIS VS OSTEOPENIA Osteoporosis 1992 Rome Italy meeting for definition

of osteoporosis World Health Organization

how to diagnose and measure osteoporosis

Doctors and researchers didn't even have a shared

view of how osteoporosis should be defined.

After 30 years old bone loss is normal so what is

normal what is pathological

On a gage they just drew a line on the graph

Osteopenia was invented for researchers to use

never was intended for a disease category

Osteopenia natural thinning of the bone

DRUG COMPANIES PRODUCE INCREDIBLE

DRUGS THAT CAN GREATLY RELIEVE SUFFERING

one way they profit from those drugs is to extend

their use to as many people as possible,

I.D. milder and milder versions of a disease

Osteoporosis and Osteopenia

Diabetes type 2

Depression

pharmaceutical firms stand to benefit if the

therapies for these diseases are broadly used

BONE MEASUREMENT INSTITUTE

1995 Merck Fosamax 1st non hormonal treatment (hormonal

treatments caused Cancer)

To increase sales had to get women to get a bone densitometer

check $300 per test and only 200 machines in USA (expensive

and inaccessible)

Created and institution “Bone measurement institute” Non

profit established by Merck

headed by Jeremy Allen = no building only the non profit

institute was his desk at Merck

BONE MEASUREMENT INSTITUTE

Merck Found cheep small measurements wrist, forearm, heals periphery scanners

Peripheral machine are not accurate Dr. Sanford Bane pres international society for clinical Densitometry

Merck bought a company to measure peripheral made machines at a very low price (then dissolved the company)

Merck funded FDA studies for the smaller machines

Merck got Medicare to pay for (bone mass medication act) 1997

1997 Merck got clearance from the FDA for a new version of its drug.

"Merck developed a dose of Fosamax, a 5-milligram — a lower dose that was intended for use by women with osteopenia,“

A DIAGNOSIS WAS BORN.

Medicare claims for scans 77,000 in 1994

More than 1.5 million annually by 1999

the sale of peripheral machines went up more than 500 percent over the same period of time.

Thru testing and advertising a cultural consensus took hold

Osteopenia became a condition that was seriously considered for treatment

2010

34 million have Osteopenia

Fosamax The long-term use of osteoporosis drugs known as

bisphosphonates can actually weaken bones by

impairing their ability to heal, leading to fractures,

according to a study ….from New York-

Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical

Center

From RXLIST.COM

The efficacy of FOSAMAX has been established in

studies of two years' duration.

The greatest increase in bone mineral density occurred in

the first year with maintenance or smaller gains during

the second year.

Efficacy of FOSAMAX beyond two years has not

been studied.

"MY LEG JUST SNAPPED"

"low impact" or "no impact" fractures occurring in women taking

Fosamax long term

• feeling the bone break before they hit the floor.

• “I slipped and fell, but I really felt the bone snap before I went

down It was like the bone broke and that is actually what

caused me to fall.“

• A woman who was wading in water who was struck at thigh

level by the wake of a small boat, causing the bone to snap.

Studies link Fosamax to spontaneous bone fractures.

If you have experienced broken bones while taking Fosamax, you may be

eligible for compensation through a Fosamax lawsuit.

Fosamax® is a drug designed to strengthen bones. However, studies indicate that

it could cause them to break instead.

Recent findings show that some Fosamax users have suffered from broken bones,

including the femur bone, the hardest bone in the body.

Researchers have found that women taking Fosamax over extended periods of

time are 125 times more likely to suffer a femur fracture from falls than women not

taking the drug.

Industry insiders allege that these potential side effects have been known for years.

In 2008, the FDA contacted Fosamax manufacturer, Merck, about continuous

reports linking Fosamax to femur fractures. Sadly, it took 16 months for Merck to

add femur fractures to the list of potential side effects included on the drug package

insert.

In addition to spontaneous, low trauma-induced femur fractures, Fosamax side

effects can also include osteomyelitis, or inflammation of bone marrow, and

osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), also known as dead jaw disease.

On October 13, 2010, the FDA issued an alert to doctors about the possibility of

severe bone pain related to bisphosphonate drugs such as Fosamax. Despite

hundreds of Fosamax lawsuits, studies and FDA warnings, Merck continues to sell

DIS-EASES OF “D” DEFICIENCIES Diabetes

Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with insulin deficiency and insulin resistance.

Heart Disease

Insulin resistance is also one of the major factors not only leading to the cancers mentioned above, but also to the number one killer in the US, heart disease. Northern countries have higher levels of heart disease and more heart attacks occur in the winter months.

Arthritis

Progression of degenerative arthritis of the knee and hip is faster in people with lower vitamin D concentrations

Infertility and PMS

Infertility is associated with low vitamin D and PMS has been completely reversed by addition of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D.

Vit D 3 100,000 IU per day for 2 days if there is an acute infection

4 Keys to Strong Bones

1.Regular exercise key to maintaining strong bones

throughout our lifetime.

2.Calcium- Bones weaken when you have low levels of

vital minerals such as calcium and vitamin D. With age,

dietary calcium intake and the body's ability to absorb

calcium tend to fall.

3. Poor habits such as smoking, excess alcohol

consumption and a lack of exercise can all reduce bone

formation

4.Regain pH Balance – eat more green leafy veggies,

eliminate corporate foods
