The Root cause and Culprit
Behind Chronic Diseases, Cancer and Aging
1- A state of chronic low grade inflammation
Dr. Richard K. Bernstein
Diabetes & Inflammation—the Vicious Cycle
(Hyperglycemia – Omega 6 - Obesity) - Leukotriene B(4)
(LTB(4)
2- Mitochondrial dysfunction (not the genetic
make up)
Dr. Ron Rosedale
Breakthrough views on clinical metabolic biochemistry
1- Harmful Effects of too much Sugar
->> Insulin and leptin receptor resistance
->> Free radicals (ROS) 90% Mitochondr
2- Harmful Effects of too much Protein
->> Activation of the mTOR metabolic signaling pathway
3- Physical inactivity (Exercise)
4- Pollutants
5- Drugs causing mitochondrial toxicity
(Iatrogenic)
Mitochondrial dysfunction
Energy (ATP - ADP)
Leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)
acts as a signal to relay
information from cell to
cell over long distances.

1- Osteoporosis is a serious public health concern. Due to its prevalence worldwide
2- Currently over 200 million people worldwide suffer from this disease
3- Approximately 30% of all postmenopausal women have osteoporosis in the USA & Europe
4- At least 40% of these women and 15-30% of men will sustain one or more fragility fractures in
their remaining lifetime
5- Ageing of populations worldwide will be responsible for a major increase in the incidence of
osteoporosis in postmenopausal women
6- An initial fracture is a major risk factor for a new fracture.
An increased risk of 86% for any fracture in people that have already sustained a fracture
8- Patients with a history of vertebral fracture have a 2.3-fold increased risk of future hip fracture
and a 1.4-fold increase in risk of distal forearm fracture
Epidemiology

https://www.iofbonehealth.org/epidemiology

By 2050
1- The worldwide incidence of
hip fracture in men is projected
to increase by 240% in women
and 310% in men
2- The estimated number of hip
fractures worldwide will rise
from 1.66 million in 1990 to
6.26 million in 2050, even if
age-adjusted incidence rates
remain stable10.

Definition of Osteoporosis
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Conference, 2000
Skeletal disorder characterized by
compromised Bone strength
Bone strength primarily reflects the
integration of
1- Bone Density (Mass)
2- Bone Quality (3M)
3- Bone Turnover (Recycling)

• Bones tissue is one of the most
remarkable tissues of the human
body. It combine between strength
and resiliency (similar to wood)
• Bones are living, dynamic structures,
Far from being inert and lifeless
• Like all tissues it is in a state of
continuous turnover (changeable).
It is constantly being remodeled.
• Remodeling equation means we have
to lose bone to build new bone
(new bones replace the aged one by
Resorption – Formation process)
Bone remodeling and metabolism

RANK (Receptor activator of nuclear factor
Kappa B)
RANKL (Receptor activator of nuclear factor
Kappa B ligand) (PTH in malignancy)
OPG (Osteoprotegerin) RANKL inhibitor
(Estrogen – Prolia)
Osteoprotegerin is a decoy receptor for the receptor activator of
nuclear factor Kappa B ligand. By binding RANKL, OPG
prevents RANK-mediated nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB)
activation which is a central and rapid acting transcription factor
for immune-related genes, and a key regulator of inflammation,
innate immunity, and cell survival and differentiation
also known as osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor(OCIF),
or tumor necrosis factor receptor super family member
11B (TNFRSF11B), is a protein that in humans is encoded by
theTNFRSF11B gene.
Osteoprotegerin is a cytokine receptor, and a member of the
tumoro necrosis factor (TNF) receptor super family.
Abbreviations
RANK – RANKL - OPG
The ratio of OPG:RANKL produced by osteoblasts
will determine the extent of bone resorption.

Abbreviations
ERRs
Estrogen-related receptors
The ERRs are orphan nuclear
receptors,
Their endogenous ligand has not yet
determined.
They are named because of
sequence homology with estrogen
receptors
But do not appear to bind estrogens
or other tested steroid hormones.

ERRa is the oldest orphan nuclear receptor. Combining affinity chromatography with tissue lipidomics,
Wei et al. identify cholesterol as an endogenous ERRa agonist.
ERRa mediates the effects of cholesterol on osteoclasts, macrophages, and myocytes, as well as the pharmacological effects of statins and
bisphosphonates on bone resorption and skeletal remodeling.
Cholesterol is a Ligand for
estrogen-related receptors

What is the Osteoblast and the
Osteocyte
Osteoblast is the gait through which most Osteoclastic activity & bone remodeling is controlled. (The ratio of OPG :
RANKL will determine the extent of bone resorption). Estrogen vs. PTH (in diseases as in PT adenoma – bone
malignancy)

Bone remodeling is well balanced otherwise pathological problems may occur
Remodeling & Metabolism are
triggered and controlled by:
1- Vitamin D, Vitamin K2, Calcium,
Magnesium, etc
in the extracellular fluid
2- Mechanical stresses
on the bone tissue
3- Other factors like
Growth factors
Hormones PTH, Calcitonin, Estrogen,
etc
Cytokines

Sun’s rays is one of the best ways to get
vitamin D
Two types of ultraviolet rays; UVA and UVB
It’s the UVB rays that convert the
cholesterol in our skin into vitamin D

Functions of Vitamin D
• Calcium and Phosphorus
Homeostasis (PTH, Calcitonin)
• Calcium and Phosphorus
absorption (small intestine)
• Calcium reabsorption (bone
and kidney)
• Maintain blood calcium levels
• Bone formation
• Stimulate calcium uptake for
deposition as calcium
phosphate (Osteoblasts: bone-
forming cells)
• Hormone (Vit D receptor)
• Regulation of gene expression
• Cell growth

Rule of Vitamin K2
Vitamin K Update
Summarized by Walter SorochanPosted November 03, 2015;
The belief that vitamin K is required only just for normal blood
clotting is now obsolete!
Vitamin K acts as a cofactor in helping other nutrients function in
the body.
Vitamin K has many forms, each with new discovered specific
functions.
Ingesting calcium supplements in hopes of preventing
osteoporosis without adequate vitamin K may be causing
hardening of the arteries.
Many persons may be deficient in Vitamin K by not eating enough
green leafy vegetables and fermented foods like Gouda cheese
and Natto.

Magnesium, NOT Calcium,
Is The Key To Healthy Bones
By Erin Elizabeth -
December 30, 2016
Intake and absorption of Magnesium during childhood are key predictors of total
bone mineral content and bone density
While dietary calcium intake was not significantly associated with such measures.
Greater magnesium intake is significantly related to higher bone mineral density
(BMD) in men and women.
There is an approximate 2 percent increase in whole-body BMD for every 100
milligram per day increase in magnesium.

Magnesium is a “lesser-studied” component of bone that may play a role in
calcium metabolism and bone strength
According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF), food
will always be the best source of calcium: “People who get the
recommended amount of calcium from foods do not need to take
a calcium supplement. These individuals still may need to take a
vitamin D supplement. Getting too much calcium from
supplements may increase the risk of kidney stones and other
health problems.”

Sentinel Events
Thousands of patients all over the world die every year because of serious incidents happening to them while
receiving care inside hospitals. CBAHI and all other healthcare accreditation organizations have one purpose in
common: contribute to improved quality, safety and experience of healthcare services through systems that are
patient/family-centered, provide for early identiication and review of near misses and reportable events, and
ensure lessons are learnt so preventable adverse events are not repeated.
Sentinel Events (SE) are relatively infrequent but they do occur. Simply deined, a sentinel event is any event
leading to serious patient harm or death and is caused by healthcare rather than the patient’s underlying illness.
By investigating sentinel events, we can identify deiciencies in healthcare systems and processes, and put
actions in place to prevent recurrence.
The Ministry of Health has identiied the following events as must-to report events:
Unexpected death
Maternal death
Wrong patient, wrong procedure, or wrong site.
Retained instrument or sponge
Medication error leading to death or major morbidity
Infant abduction or infant discharged to the wrong family
Unexpected loss of a limb or a function
Hemolytic blood transfusion reaction
Inpatient suicide
Gas embolism

“Much to the shock of my doctor, who had told me that I was stuck with a disease for
the rest of my life, I reversed osteoporosis in just one year without ever taking the
medication he prescribed. I was ecstatic and felt a responsibility to share this
information with others, and that’s how the Save Institute was born.”

1- Bisphosphonate Interactions
interact with several common medications. Some make the drug less effective, while others can
increase the risk of side effects. These include:
•Aspirin and NSAIDs drugs (ibuprofen, naproxen and anaprox): causes increased stomach irritation.
•Iron supplements and magnesium products: prevents absorption.
•Antacids: makes it less effective.
2- FDA Recalls and Warnings

3- Cases Against Fosamax Increase
Court cases against Merck began in 2004 once research proved that Fosamax causes Osteonecrosis of
the jaw. Patients with side effects such as femur fractures, Dead Jaw Syndrome, esophagus problems
and musculoskeletal pain have filed lawsuits against Merck.Thousands of patients have filed in a
multidistrict litigation (MDL) in NewYork and New Jersey. With MDL cases, pre-trial proceedings are
heard together; however, each case has a separate trial

The Big Drug Lie!
*You might believe that heart disease and cancer are the leading killers in this country
100,000 Americans die each year from side effects of pharmaceutical drugs as prescribed
by their doctors?
Our conventional American medical system causes an astronomical 783,936 deaths per
year.
Russell Blaylock, M.D., practiced conventional medicine as a board-certified neurosurgeon for nearly 30 years. After watching
both his parents die from neurodegenerative disorders that could not be helped by mainstream treatment, he began to research
safe and effective natural cures.

Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Never Take
Osteoporosis Drugs
By Vivian Goldschmidt, MA
Reason #1: Drugs Are Synthetic Chemicals That Work
Against the Body
Bone Loss is Only Half of the Remodeling Equation
That’s right – you have to lose bone to build new bone
Reason #2: All Osteoporosis Drugs Have Bad Side Effects
Bisphosphonates.
Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ)
Atrial fibrillation risk of serious atrial fibrillation by 40%.
Esophageal cancer 75% attributed to Fosamax
Increased fracture risk The most ironic (and ridiculous) side effect
Other side effects: nausea, flatulence, blurred vision, joint pain, muscle pain, and
abdominal cramping

Reason #3: Quite Often, Osteoporosis Drugs Don’t
Work
appear to increase bone density by halting healthy remodeling.
The price of osteoporosis drugs is just too high!
Reason #4: Drug “Approvals” are Meaningless
Despite the fact that how Forteo “works” was a complete mystery, and despite this
potentially fatal side effect osteosarcoma, Forteo was approved by the FDA.
Another seemingly “natural” drug not only may cause cancer; it’s also entirely useless
in increasing bone density. Calcitonin or Calcitonin salmon, the fish-based nasal
