00:01 >> Bill: WELCOME TO THE "IT IS WRITTEN" PROGRAMME.
00:02 WE HAVE A SPECIAL PROGRAMME TODAY WITH 00:05 OUR INVITED GUEST, Dr. 00:06 FERREIRA WITH ANOTHER ONE OF OUR "LIVE HEALTHY" 00:08 PROGRAMMES. TODAY'S TOPIC, OSTEOPOROSIS. A DISEASE OF 00:13 BRITTLE BONES. I HOPE YOU WILL JOIN US. WE WILL 00:15 BE BACK IN JUST A MOMENT. 00:20 (MUSIC) 00:29 >>ANNOUNCER: IT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME . . . 00:32 GOD'S BOOK THE BIBLE 00:35 STILL RELEVANT IN TODAY'S COMPLEX WORLD 00:40 IT IS WRITTEN . . . 00:42 SHARING MESSAGES OF HOPE AROUND THE WORLD. 00:47 (MUSIC) 01:01 >> Bill: WELL, Dr. 01:02 FERREIRA, WELCOME BACK TO THE "IT IS WRITTEN" 01:03 PROGRAMME. >> THANK YOU. 01:04 >> Bill: FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR VIEWERS THAT MAY BE 01:06 TUNING IN FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME, TELL THEM A 01:07 LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOU AND WHAT YOU DO? >> WELL, 01:10 I HAVE A MEDICAL BACK- GROUND. I AM A PHYSICIAN. 01:13 I STUDIED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN, 01:14 SOUTH AFRICA, AFTER THAT PRACTICED IN DIFFERENT 01:17 PARTS OF THIS WORLD, INCLUDING THE U.K. AND THE 01:21 U.S. A FEW YEARS AGO, MAYBE EIGHT OR NINE YEARS 01:22 AGO, I GOT INTERESTED IN PREVENTIVE MEDICINE, AND 01:27 HOW TO APPLY LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION AND TO 01:31 PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF DISEASES AND THAT'S 01:32 WHAT I DO NOW. I SEE PATIENTS EVERY WEEK NOW 01:36 AND I GO AROUND LECTURING AND TELLING PEOPLE WHAT'S 01:41 THE BEST LIFESTYLE THEY THEY SHOULD HAVE, YES. 01:42 >> Bill: THAT'S TERRIFIC. 01:46 WHEN YOU'RE NOT SEEING PATIENTS THEN YOU'RE HERE 01:47 AT "IT IS WRITTEN" CANADA. 01:49 >> YES, >> Bill: AND WE APPRECIATE THAT. TODAY WE 01:50 WANT TO TOUCH ON A TOPIC THAT'S OF INTEREST TO 01:53 MANY OF OUR VIEWERS, OSTEOPOROSIS. YOU HAD 01:57 MENTIONED TO ME, AT ONE POINT. I ALWAYS CONSIDERE 01:58 OSTEOPOROSIS TO BE A WOMAS PROBLEM -- A 02:03 PROBLEM FOR WOMEN, BUT AM I CORRECT IN SAYING NOT 02:09 ONLY A PROBLEM FOR WOMEN? 02:10 >> IT'S TRUE. IT'S MOST COMMON IN WOMEN, ABOUT 02:13 20% OF THE CASES ARE MEN. 02:14 >> Bill: AS HIGH AS 20%. 02:15 >> YES, IT'S A DISEASE THAT AFFECTS BONES. 02:17 >> Bill: WHAT IS OSTEOPOROSIS? >> BONE 02:22 GROWTH TAKES PLACE THROUGHOUT OUR CHILDHOOD 02:23 ADOLESCENCE, EARLY ADULTHOOD AND THEN IT 02:28 REACHES A PEAK. THEN AT ABOUT 25 -- BETWEEN THE 02:33 AGES OF 25 TO 35, A LITTLE BIT EARLY PERHAPS, THEN 02:34 THEY START GETTING WEAKER AND WEAKER. SO... >> Bill: 02:40 SO, BE AS EARLY AS 25? >> YES. SO, IT THEN -- IT'S 02:44 VERY IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN THIS THAT BONE HEALTH. YOU 02:46 DON'T WANT WEAK BONES,. 02:52 OSTEOPOROSIS IS REALLY A DISEASE OF HAVING TOO 02:53 WEAK BONES BECOME BRITTLE. 03:01 THEY BREAK MORE EASILY WITH ALL THE COMPLICATIONS 03:02 OF FRACTURES, ESPECIALLY WITH OLD AGE, YES. >> 03:06 Bill: NOW IS THE CALCIUM ACTUALLY BEING REMOVED 03:11 FROM THE BONES? >> YES. 03:12 YOU KNOW, BONES ARE LIVING ORGANS, THERE'S ALWAYS 03:21 EXCHANGE OF CALCIUM AND OTHER THINGS, OKAY, SO 03:22 IT'S NOT A STATIC THING, NOT A PIECE OF WOOD BEING 03:26 CUT, BUT BONES ARE LIVING. 03:27 SO CALCIUM IS BEING TAKEN AND CALCIUM IS BEING 03:32 DEPOSITED. BUT WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A CERTAIN 03:36 AGE, MORE CALCIUM IS TAKEN THAN HAS BEEN DEPOSITED. 03:37 SO, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT JUST THINK LIKE THIS, IF 03:42 YOU PUT MONEY IN THE BANK IN CASE YOU NEED IT LATER 03:47 ON, THE MORE MONEY YOU HAVE, THE MORE YOU HAVE 03:48 TO WITHDRAW FROM, IT'S THE SAME WITH CALCIUM. THE 03:53 MORE CALCIUM YOU HAVE IN THE BONES TO MAKE REALLY 03:58 STRONG BONES IN YOUR EARLY ADULTHOOD, THEN YOU'LL 03:59 HAVE MORE CALCIUM TO DRAW FROM FOR THE REST OF 04:06 YOUR LIFE. SO THERE'S THIS CALCIUM EXCHANGE ALL TIME, 04:09 AND CALCIUM IS ACTUALLY TAKEN OUT YOUR BONES, 04:10 YES. >> Bill: SO ARE THERE THINGS YOU CAN DO TOR 04:15 TAKE TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF CALCIUM DEPLETION? AND 04:20 ALSO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF CALCIUM THAT IS BEING 04:21 DEPOSITED? >> YES. WELL, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE 04:29 SAYING. IT'S LIKE THIS, FOR BONE TO BE 04:34 STRENGTHENED -- YOU NEED TO HAVE STRESS ON THE 04:35 BONE. YOU NEED TO HAVE GOOD CALCIUM INTAKE, YOU 04:44 NEED TO HAVE SUNLIGHT. 04:45 >> Bill: SUNLIGHT?! >> SUNLIGHT, BECAUSE SUNLIGHT 04:48 PRODUCES VITAMIN D AND VITAMIN D'S VERY IMPORTANT 04:58 TO DEPOSIT CALCIUM, TO FIX THE CALCIUM ON TO BONE. 04:59 SO YOU NEED OF THE GOOD CALCIUM INTAKE. YOU 05:07 NEED SUNLIGHT AND THEN YOU NEED STRESS, NOT EMOTIONAL 05:13 STRESS. YOU NEED PHYSICAL STRESS. LIKE THIS, IF THIS 05:14 WAS A BONE AND I WANTED TO STRENGTHEN IT, I WOULD 05:21 HAVE TO GIVE IT CALCIUM WITH VITAMIN D AND THEN I 05:24 WOULD HAVE TO DO THIS, TRY AND BREAK IT ALL THE TIME, 05:26 PUT PHYSICAL STRESS ON IT OVER DAYS AND WEEKS AND 05:34 MONTHS, THESE BONE WOULD BECOME MUCH STRONGER. >> 05:40 Bill: I SEE. >> IF I JUST GAVE IT VITAMIN D AND 05:41 CALCIUM AND LEFT IT HERE, THAT BONE WOULD NOT 05:47 STRENGTHEN. IT NEEDS TO HAVE THAT PHYSICAL STRESS. 05:52 SO THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT, NOT JUST IN EARLY LIFE, 05:53 BUT LATER ON IN LIFE TO PREVENT OSTEOPOROSIS. >> 06:00 Bill: OKAY. >> NOW THERE ARE THINGS THAT ROB 06:04 CALCIUM FROM THE BONE, AND YOU'LL BE SURPRISED 06:05 TO KNOW THAT SOME OF THESE THINGS ARE THINGS THAT 06:11 PEOPLE DO EVERY DAY OF THEIR LIVES. WE ARE 06:15 ROBBING CALCIUM FROM OUR BONES BY, FOR EXAMPLE, 06:16 NOT DOING EXERCISE, BY FOR EXAMPLE, EATING 06:21 HIGH-PROTEIN FOODS, ESPECIALLY ANIMAL SOURCES 06:30 OF PROTEIN. PROTEIN ROBS CALCIUM FROM THE BONES 06:31 AND HELPS THEM TO BECOME BRITTLE. COFFEE, AS WELL 06:37 HELPS TO DRAW CALCIUM FROM THE BONES AND THINGS LIKE 06:43 COLD DRINKS AND ALL OF THESE -- >> Bill: SODA 06:44 POP. >> ALSO HELPS TO DRAW CALCIUM AND 06:51 MEDICATIONS DRAW CALCIUM FROM THE BONES AND OTHER 06:57 THINGS THAT ROB THE BONE -- THIS CALCIUM THAT'S SO 06:58 NEEDED TO MAKE IT STRONG. 07:05 >> Bill: ARE THERE ANY WARNING SIGNS THAT SOMEONE 07:06 WOULD KNOW THAT THEY'RE CALCIUM IS BEING DEPLETED 07:10 OUTSIDE OF A FRACTURE, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU BEGIN 07:14 FEEL AND SEE? >> UNFORTUNATELY NOT. IT'S 07:16 NEED MYSELF TO HAVE A FEW MONITORS IN OUR BODY 07:20 AND CHOLESTEROL IS TO TOO HIGH, CALCIUM IS TOO LOW. 07:24 LIKE A DASHBOARD, YOU PLUG IT IN DOING CHECK, BUT 07:25 WE DON'T HAVE THAT, OKAY. 07:32 SO, FOR OSTEOPOROSIS, OSTEOPOROSIS IS A PAINLESS 07:33 DISEASE, AT LEAST IN THE FIRST STAGES OF IT. IT 07:41 DOESN'T PRODUCE PAIN AND PEOPLE CAN HAVE A 07:47 TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF OSTEOPOROSIS TO A LARGELY 07:48 TO HAVE VERY BRITTLE BONES AND DON'T FEEL ANYTHING. 07:57 >> Bill: NOT EVEN KNOW IT. 07:58 >> NOT ENKNOW IT. OFTEN THE FIRST SIGN OF THE 08:02 DISEASE IS WHEN AN X-RAY IS TAKEN FOR SOMETHING 08:08 ELSE AND IT'S NOTED THAT THE BONES ARE VERY PALE, 08:09 OKAY WHICH MEANS THEY HAVE GOT LITTLE CALCIUM, AND 08:16 THEN OFTEN WHAT HAPPENS IS THE DOCTOR RECOMMENDS THAT 08:21 A DENSITOMETRY -- A BONE DENSITOMETRY IS DONE. 08:23 SPECIAL TEST THAT PEOPLE GO UNDER MACHINE AND THEY 08:26 SEE HOW DENSE IS THAT BONE AND THEN THE DIAGNOSIS CAN 08:33 BE MADE WITH THAT. IF NOT OSTEOPOROSIS, THERE IS 08:34 THE WAY TO OSTEOPOROSIS IS OSTEOPENIA WHICH MEANS 08:39 THIN BONES. OSTEOPOROSIS IS THE DISEASE AND 08:44 OSTEOPENIA SHOWS THE BONES STARTING TO GET SICK, BUT 08:45 CERTAIN TABLES FROM DATA AROUND THE WORLD AND IF 08:50 YOU HAVE OSTEOPOROSIS OR IF YOU HAVE OSTEOPENIA, 08:56 BUT UNFORTUNATELY MANY PEOPLE GO ON IN LIFE 08:57 WITHOUT KNOWING THIS, WITHOUT KNOWING HOW TO 09:02 PREVENT AND THEY GET TO A POINT WHERE THE FIRST SIGN 09:06 IS A FRACTURE. THEY FALL, A MINOR FALL AND THAT 09:07 OFTEN HAPPENS WITH ELDERLY PEOPLE. A MINOR FALL AND 09:13 THEY CAN BREAK AN ARM OR ALSO VERY COMMON THE NECK 09:22 OF THE FEMUR, THE HIP. 09:23 AND THOSE ARE OKAY, WELL THEY ARE NEVER OKAY FOR 09:31 ANYONE, BUT FOR OLDER FOLKS, THEY CAN BE 09:32 POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT LEADS THEM TO 09:36 INACTIVITY. THEY HAVE TO LAY IN BED FOR A FEW DAYS 09:42 OR WEEKS. BUT NOW WITH NEW MEDICAL PROCEDURES, THEY 09:43 CAN GET OUT OF THE BED SOON AFTER SURGERY, BUT 09:48 OFTEN THEY ARE INACTIVE AND THEN COME THE LUNG 09:55 INFECTIONS, ALL SORTS OF THINGS. ALL THE 09:56 COMPLICATIONS OF THE FRACTURE, NOT THE 09:59 FRACTURES THEMSELVES BUT THE COMPLICATIONS AND THEY 10:01 OFTEN THE CAUSE OF DEATH, YES. >> Bill: 10:02 WOULD OSTEOPOROSIS BE A PREVENTABLE DISEASE? >> TO 10:06 A LARGE DEGREE, YES. YES. 10:07 TO A LARGE DEGREE, YES. 10:11 BECAUSE IS IT A DISEASE THAT IT'S LARGELY RELATED 10:12 TO LIFESTYLE -- ONCE AGAIN LIFESTYLE. LET 10:18 ME JUST TELL YOU THIS, THE COUNTRIES WITH THE HIGHEST 10:21 INCIDENTS OF OSTEOPOROSIS ARE COUNTRIES WITH THE 10:22 HIGHEST LEVEL OF STANDARD OF LIVING, OKAY. WITH THE 10:26 HIGHEST INTAKE OF CALCIUM AND THE HIGHEST INTAKE OF 10:33 VITAMIN D. >> Bill: SO HIGHEST INCIDENTS OF 10:34 OSTEOPOROSIS AND HIGHEST STANDARD OF LIVING 10:39 AND HIGHEST INTAKE OF CALCIUM AND VITAMIN D. >> 10:44 THEORETICALLY, YOU HAVE ENOUGH CALCIUM, ENOUGH 10:45 VITAMIN D. YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE OSTEOPOROSIS THEN 10:50 YOU LACK EXERCISE VERY OFTEN, THAT'S LACKING, 10:59 EXCEPT FOR EXAMPLE, INUITS IN NORTHERN CANADA WHERE 11:00 THEY HAVE A GOOD INTAKE OF ENVIRONMENT D AND A 11:04 LOT OF EXERCISE AND WALK SOMETHING THE SNOW ON ICE 11:10 IS NOT EASY. THEY DO HAVE THAT BUT THEY HAVE ONE OF 11:11 THE HIGHEST INCIDENTS OF OSTEOPOROSIS, AND THE 11:16 QUESTION IS WHY? >> Bill: ABSOLUTELY. >> WELL, 11:20 CALCIUM ROBBERS. CALCIUM ROBBERS. YOU KNOW, WE'RE 11:21 WITHDRAWING FROM OUR BANK OF CALCIUM IF WE DO ONE 11:27 OF THOSE -- ONE OR MORE OF THOSE THINGS, AND HIGH 11:34 PROTEIN DIET, SODA POPS OR THE COFFEE AND SO ON. 11:35 AND, WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT PEOPLE IN THE WEST, 11:41 WESTERN COUNTRIES THEY OFTEN HAVE A VERY HIGH 11:46 PROTEIN DIET. IT'S BEEN THOUGHT AND NOT COMPLETELY 11:47 CLEAR, BUT IT'S BEEN THOUGHT THAT THESE 11:52 ACTUALLY IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THERE IS SUCH 11:57 A HIGH INCIDENTS OF OSTEOPOROSIS IN THIS 11:58 COUNTRY IS BECAUSE YOU TAKE A CALCIUM AND YOU 12:00 TAKE THAT AND YOU TAKE EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED 12:05 TO BE DEPOSITED, BUT IT'S BEING ROBBED FROM 12:06 YOUR BONES AND CALCIUM IS EXCRETED IN YOUR URINE 12:09 WITH THE PROTEIN AND IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY 12:14 THESE PEOPLE HAVE ALSO HIGH INCIDENTS OF KIDNEY 12:15 STONES, BECAUSE THAT CALCIUM AND THE PROTEIN 12:20 FORM THE STONES IN KIDNY. 12:21 ON THE OTHER HAND, THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WITH 12:26 THE LOWEST INCIDENTS OF OSTEOPOROSIS ARE PEOPLE 12:31 WHO OFTEN HAVE VERY LITTLE INTAKE OF CALCIUM ABOUT 12:32 3OO, 4OO MILLIGRAMS A DAY WHICH IS HALF OF WHAT'S 12:40 RECOMMENDED, AND THEY HAVE GOT NO CASES OF 12:46 OSTEOPOROSIS. IT'S AFRICAN, RURAL AFRICANS, 12:47 BUT THEY HAVE GOT SUNSHINE THAT INSPITE OF DARK 12:53 SKIN, A LOT VITAMIN D TO BE FORMED, BUT A LOW 12:58 PROTEIN DIET WHICH DOES NOT ROB THE CALCIUM FROM 12:59 THE BONES. SO, WE NEED TO LOOK AT OSTEOPOROSIS 13:07 AS ONCE AGAIN AS MULTIFACTORIAL DISEASE: 13:12 EXERCISE, DIET, NO CALCIUM ROBBERS AND ENOUGH 13:13 SUNSHINE OF OTHER SOURCES OF THE ENVIRONMENT D. >> 13:19 Bill: LIKE THE CALCIUM DEPLETION IS THE MOST 13:22 SERIOUS COMPONENT OF THIS AS OPPOSED TO THE BUILD-UP 13:23 OF CALCIUM -- >> IF YOU START WITH VERY LITTLE 13:29 CALCIUM, IT'S MORE LIKELY THAT IN EARLY, BY THE AGE 13:33 OF 50 OR 55, YOU WILL GET OSTEOPOROSIS. YOU KNOW, 13:34 LET'S SAY YOU START -- YOU DON'T HAVE SOCIAL SECURITY 13:42 OR RETIREMENT PLAN AND ALL YOU DEPEND ON IS YOUR 13:47 SAVINGS, LET'S SAY AND YOU HOPE TO END YOUR 13:48 WORKING CAREER WITH HALF A MILLION-DOLLARS IN THE 13:54 BANK, OKAY AND LIVE FROM THAT? >> Bill: RIGHT. >> 13:58 OKAY THAT SHOULD TAKE YOU LONGER THAN IF YOU END UP 13:59 WITH $100,000 IT'S SIMPLE. 14:06 IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FROM -- FROM YOUNG AGE TO 14:07 DEPOSIT AS MUCH CALCIUM AS POSSIBLE AND FOR THAT 14:11 YOU NEED A GOOD DIET, YOU NEED -- YOU DON'T NEED 14:18 ROBBERS AT THAT AGE AND YOU NEED EXERCISE AND 14:19 SUNSHINE. >> Bill: WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST SOURCES 14:21 OF CALCIUM? >> THE BEST SOURCES OF CALCIUM IS THE 14:25 SOURCES THAT HAVE LITTLE PROTEIN, ESPECIALLY 14:26 ANIMAL PROTEIN, OKAY. SO TRADITIONALLY WHAT IS THE 14:34 GOOD SOURCE OF CALCIUM? -- MILK, DAIRY, THE PROBLEM 14:41 WITH MILK AND DAIRY IN GENERAL IS THAT IT IS 14:42 OFTEN RICH IN FAT AND ALSO ANIMAL PROTEIN, WHICH 14:48 APPEARS TO ROB THE CALCIUM FROM THE BONES. SO, GOOD 14:54 SOURSES OF CALCIUM WOULD BE FOR EXAMPLE, DARK 14:55 GREE LEAFY VEGETABLES, COLLARDS, KALES AND SO ON, 15:03 GOOD SOURCES OF CALCIUM, YOU HAVE CITRUS, YOU HAVE 15:10 FOR EXAMPLE, SOME SOY PRODUCTS, SOY BEANS, 15:11 TOFU CALCIUM FORTIFIED. I MEAN WE FORTIFY 15:19 NORMAL MILK TO PREVENT OSTEOPOROSIS. THERE ARE 15:25 GOOD FORTIFIED SOY MILK, SOY DRINKS AND OTHER 15:26 DRINKS AND CEREALS, FORTIFIED CALCIUM AND THEY 15:31 HAVE LOWER PROTEIN, OKAY. 15:32 THEN WE HAVE GOT FIGS, FOR EXAMPLE, HAZELNUTS. >> 15:39 Bill: FIGS...HIGH IN CALCIUM? >> THERE'S A 15:42 WHOLE LIST IN OUR RESOURCE AT "IT IS 15:44 WRITTEN" -- iiw.ca, THERE ARE PLEN OF RESOURCES TO 15:49 TELL PEOPLE WHERE TO GET THESE SOURCES OF CALCIUM 15:54 WITHOUT DAIRY. >> Bill: THOSE OF PORTUGUESE 15:55 HERITAGE LOVE FIGS. >> Bill: DRY OR FRESH? 16:00 >> YES, AND ORANGES AND LEMONS HAVE A GOOD AMOUNT 16:08 OF CALCIUM. WE NEED 6OO TO 800 MILLIGRAMS OF CALCIUM 16:10 A DAY AND SOME SAY 6OO, OTHERS SAY 800. TO BE 16:14 ON THE SAFE SIDE, 800 MILLIGRAMS AND IT'S 16:20 POSSIBLE TO GET THAT WITH A BALANCED DIET, WITHOUT 16:21 HAVING TO DRINK MUCH MILK OR EAT MUCH DAIRY, YES. 16:30 >> Bill: SO YOU'RE GETTING THE CALCIUM WITHOUT THE 16:33 PROTEIN AND THEREFORE, IT'S NOT BEING DEPLETED. 16:34 >> AND WITHOUT AT ALL FATS IT'S NOT GOOD FOR YOU. >> 16:37 Bill: SO, GOOD SOURCES OF CALCIUM, ANY PARTICULAR 16:45 EXERCISES THAT ARE THE BEST STRESS-PRODUCING 16:46 EXERCISES FOR BONE FORTIFICATION, WHAT 16:51 WOULD BE THOSE KINDS OF EXERCISES? >> WELL, 16:55 WALKING IS A WONDERFUL EXERCISE TO PREVENT 16:56 OSTEOPOROSIS, BUT MAINLY OF THE LOWER BACK AND THE 17:01 FEMUR, THE HIP, BECAUSE THERE IS CONTINUAL STRESS 17:06 BEING PUT ON IT, BUT IT DOES NOTHING FOR THE ARMS 17:07 OKAY. IT'S I THINK THERE IS A FEELING THAT IT MIGHT 17:15 HELP A LITTLE BIT THE ARMS, BUT YOU HAVE OF THE 17:19 THIS STRESS PUT ON. PEOPLE OFTEN GO SHOPPING AND THEY 17:20 GET TWO OR THREE BAGS AND IT WOULD BE NICE TO LEAVE 17:29 FOR EXAMPLE THE CAR, THE LITTLE BUGGY JUST OUTSIDE 17:36 THE DOOR OF THE SUPERMARKET AND ACTUALLY 17:38 WALK TO THE CAR DOING SOME WEIGHTS WITH THE PLASTIC 17:40 BAGS, OKAY. IT MIGHT LOOK A LITTLE BIT FUNNY, BUT 17:46 IT'S OSTEOPOROSIS PREVENTION, JUST DO 17:47 THAT. IT IS GOOD TO CARRY WEIGHTS NOT IN A VERY 17:52 PASSIVE WAY. YOU KNOW YOU CAN PUT 20 POUNDS IN EACH 17:57 HAND AND CARRY IT WITH DRAGGED SHOULDER, THAT 17:58 DOESN'T HELP. IT'S IMPORTANT TO TRY AND 18:03 PUT SOME STRESS ON THOSE BONES. >> Bill: I SEE. >> 18:10 SO, YOU NEED TO PUT THIS KIND OF STRESS ON 18:11 THE BONES, MILD WEIGHT LIFTING, NOT 200 POUNDS, 18:15 WITH FOUR OR FIVE POUND ON EACH ARM AND FIVE TO 10 18:22 MINUTES A DAY DOING YOUR EXERICES AND WALKING GOOD. 18:23 A LITTLE BIT OF GYM IF YOU CAN, BUT THERE MUST BE 18:28 SOME CARRYING OF WEIGHT, MILD, NOT HEAVYWEIGHTS, 18:37 IT'S IMPORTANT, YES. 18:38 >> Bill: IT'S INTERESTING THAT YOU DON'T SAY OVER AN 18:43 EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME? 18:44 FIVE MINUTES, 10 MINUTES. 18:45 >> ABOUT 10 MINUTE AS DAY IS EFFICIENT AND WALKING 18:48 IMPORTANT AND THE RECOMMENDATION IS HALF 18:52 HOUR ABOUT FIVE DAYS A WEEK, YES. >> Bill: 18:53 LET'S LOOK AT SOME OF THE CALCIUM ROBBERS. I 18:58 WOULD BE INTERESTED FROM LEARNING ABOUT THAT. YOU 19:02 MENTIONED COFFEE, NOW IS IT CAFFEINE, IS THAT 19:03 THE -- >> WELL, COFFEE, CONTAINS CAFFEINE 19:07 BUT A VARIETY OF OTHER SUBSTANCES AND CAFFEINE IS 19:17 THOUGHT TO BE A CALCIUM ROBBER, BUT I WONDER -- 19:18 I GUESS THERE WOULD BE OTHERS AS WELL IN THAT 19:21 SO, THAT WOULD GO FOR CAFFEINATED DRINKS, SODA 19:26 POPS WITH CAFFEINE AND A LOT OF PHOSPHORUS, YOU 19:27 TALK ABOUT CAFFEINE AND COFFEE AND YOU TALKING 19:34 ABOUT SODA POP THAT'S MANY OF THEM HAVE CAFFEINE, BUT 19:39 THE SODA DRINKS HAVE OTHER ROBBERS AS I MENTIONED AND 19:41 THE PHOSPHORUS AND PLENTY OF SUGAR, HIGH SUGAR DIET 19:47 ACTS AS A CALCIUM ROBBER AND YOU KNOW, THE KIDS 19:52 TODAY THEY JUST DRINK LOADS OF THAT AND ROBBERS 19:53 EARLY ON IN LIFE, SO THEIR RESERVE, THEIR BANK 19:59 ACCOUNTS FOR CALCIUM ARE ON THE LOW SIDE WHEN THEY 20:04 START GOING DOWN AT AGE OF 30. >> Bill: DOES THERE 20:05 HAVE TO BE A DEPLETION? IS THAT JUST A NATURAL 20:13 OCCURRENCE? >> WELL, THERE IS A NATURAL OCCURRENCE. I 20:18 AM GOING TO DRAW -- IF WE HAVE A GRAPH HERE. THAT'S 20:19 TIME AND THAT'S BONE DENSITY. OKAY, SO WHAT'S 20:27 TRADITIONALLY HAPPENING YOU START HERE. YOU GO UP 20:32 AND THEN YOU COME DOWN AND THE RATE AT WHICH IT 20:33 GOES DOWN DEPENDS ON YOUR LIFESTYLE, ALSO SOME 20:39 GENETIC FACTOR, BUT MAINLY LIFESTYLE. WHAT YOU CAN DO 20:44 IS YOU CAN DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. >> Bill: REDUCE 20:45 THE SLOPE. >> REDUCE THE SLOPE, MUCH LESS STEEP AND 20:50 PREVENT. IT IS NORMAL TO HAVE BONE LOSS WITH AGE. 20:56 >> Bill: THAT WAS MY QUESTION. >> IT'S NORMAL, 20:58 BUT YOU CAN BE, EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE BONE 21:01 YOU CAN BE ON THE SAFE SIDE NOT AS SUSCEPTIBLE 21:05 FRACTURES. >> Bill: THAT CRITICAL STAGE. >> 21:07 YES. >> Bill: WHAT'S THE CONVENTIONAL TREATMENT 21:09 FOR SOMEONE DIAGNOSED WITH LOW BONE DENSITY? WHAT'S 21:14 TYPICALLY -- CAN THAT BE TURNED AROUND, I MEAN 21:15 SOMEBODY WATCHING RIGHT NOW AT LOW -- CAN THIS BE 21:21 TURNED AROUND RELATIVELY RAPIDLY? >> I WAS TAUGHT 21:26 AT MEDICAL SCHOOL THAT YOU COULDN'T REVERSE THAT 21:27 PROCESS. BUT THINGS ARE CHANGING. I SEE PATIENT 21:32 WHO IS HAVE CHANGED WITH LIFESTYLE AND CHANGED, 21:36 THERE ARE SOME MEDICATIONS THAT HELP CALCIUM FIX ON 21:37 THE BONE. I DON'T WANT TO MENTION NAMES BUT DOCTORS 21:43 KNOW AND THEY HAVE PROBABLY RECOMMENDED TO 21:47 OUR VIEWERS TO TAKE SOME OF THOSE MEDICATIONS, AND 21:48 SOME OF THEM, YOU KNOW WHEN YOU TAKE YOU CANNOT 21:53 LIE DOWN FOR HALF AN HOUR BECAUSE IT MAY AFFECT YOUR 21:56 STOMACH, YOUR OESOPHAGUS, AND SO ON. THERE ARE 21:57 MEDICATIONS OUT THERE THAT HELPS TO BIND CALCIUM, 22:02 BUT THEY HAVE GOT SIDE EFFECTS ONCE AGAIN. 22:09 TRADITIONALLY, WE GIVE THAT OTHER PHYSICIANS DO 22:10 GIVE THAT MEDICATION WITH SOME CALCIUM AND NOW WITH 22:15 VITAMIN D, OKAY, BUT WE OFTEN FORGET THE EXERCISE. 22:21 IT'S VERY IMPORTANT AND WE OFTEN FORGOT ABOUT 22:22 LIFESTYLE WHICH INCLUDES DIET AND GIVING UP ALL 22:25 THE OTHER THINGS, CHANGING THAT. SO, I -- I HAVE SEEN 22:31 VERY POSITIVE CASES WHERE PEOPLE EVEN HAVE, YOU 22:32 KNOW, DEPENDS -- WE'RE TALKING TO A LARGE 22:37 AUDIENCE AND YOU KNOW YOUR DOCTOR IS THE BEST PERSON 22:42 TO ASSESS WHAT YOUR CONDITION IS, BUT I HAVE 22:43 SEEN PEOPLE WITH LIFESTYLE WITHOUT MEDICATIONS 22:47 ACTUALLY REVERTING SLIGHTLY OR NOT HAVING 22:53 SUCH A STEEP FALL, ACTUALLY MAKING A 22:54 DIFFERENCE WITH SOME GOOD CALCIUM INTAKE, GOOD 22:58 VITAMIN D INTAKE OR ENOUGH SUNSHINE AND VERY MILD TO 23:04 MODERATE EXERCISE, YOU MUST BE CAREFUL HOW MANY 23:05 POUNDS OF WEIGHT YOU WANT TO LIFT IF YOU HAVE 23:12 VERY BRITTLE BONES, MILD EXERCISE, AVOIDING THE 23:15 CALCIUM ROB GOOD VEGETARIAN DIET OR WITH 23:16 VERY LITTLE MEAT, VERY LITTLE FISH AND DAIRY, 23:21 AND SO, I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE ACTUALLY REMARKABLY WELL 23:27 ON THESE. SO, MEDICATION IS NOT EVERYTHING. I WOULD 23:28 SAY THAT MEDICATION IS A SMALL COMPONENT OUT OF 23:33 A GREATER PICTURE WHICH INCLUDES LIFESTYLE. >> 23:36 Bill: I WOULD THINK -- I AM NOT A PHYSICIAN BUT 23:37 YOU'RE TAKEN THE MEDCATION WITHOUT ELIMINATING THE 23:40 ROBBERS IS SELF-DEFEATING. 23:41 >> LIFESTYLE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. THERE'S HOPE 23:45 OUT THERE AND PEOPLE NEED TO LOOK AT THIS DISEASE AS 23:52 PREVENTABLE DISEASE, LARGELY. IF YOU HAVE 23:53 IT YOU CAN STOP THOSE ROBBERS, YOU CAN. >> Bill: 23:57 I MEAN GOD CREATED OUR BODY WITH A RE REMARKABLE 24:00 SENSE OF HEALING ITSELF AND CREATE THE 24:01 ENVIRONMENT, AND WE TALKED ABOUT THAT IN ONE 24:06 OF THE PROGRAMMES, NOT THE ONLY THE INTERNAL 24:09 ENVIRONMENT, BUT THE EXTERNAL ENVIROMENT THAT 24:10 ALLOWS THE BODY TO HEAL. 24:12 THE BODY'S AN INCREDIBLE MACHINE THAT CAN HEAL 24:13 ITSELF. THAT'S HOW GOD CREATED IT, BUT WE NEED TO 24:17 BE DOING OUR PART. THAT'S VERY WISE COUNSEL. I AM 24:24 ALWAYS AMAZED THAT THESE THINGS ARE RELATIVELY 24:25 SIMPLE. >> SIMPLE, SIMPLE. 24:29 YOU KNOW, TODAY WE HAVE SUCH COMPLICATED LIVES AND 24:30 SUCH COMPLEX LIVES, BUT WE LOOK AT FOR EXAMPLE, 24:38 IN EUROPE, ESPECIALLY SOUTHERN EUROPE, I SPEND 24:41 QUITE A BIT OF THE TIME TALKING TO PEOPLE ABOUT 24:42 THESE THINGS, AND WHAT DID YOU USED TO EAT AND THE 24:46 YOUNG PEOPLE WITH GRAY HAIR OR NO HAIR AND THEY 24:50 WOULD SAY, DURING THE WEEK IT WAS BEANS AND POTATOES 24:51 AND CABBAGE AND CARROTS AND SOME NUTS, WALNUTS AND 24:56 OLIVE OIL AND I ASKED THEM WHAT ABOUT MEAT AND FISH? 25:01 OH, DOCTOR, THAT WAS OVER THE WEEKEND OR DURING 25:02 PARTY DAYS. VERY RARELY AND LOOK AT THEM, THEY 25:07 LIVED -- THEY WERE HEALTHY AND THEY STILL MANY OF 25:13 THEM HERE AFTER 80, 90 YEARS, WE JUST NEED TO 25:14 GO BACK TO A MORE SIMPLE LIFESTYLE WITH THE BETTER 25:20 DIET AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, BETTER FAMILY LIFE. INVEST 25:26 IN OUR FRIENDS AND IN OUR FAMILY AND IN GOD. 25:27 >> Bill: ABSOLUTELY. IT'S INCREDIBLE IN OUR SOCIETY 25:31 HOW MUCH WE HAVE ADVANCED IN CERTAIN THINGS AND HOW 25:34 MUCH WE HAVE FALLEN BEHIND IN OTHERS. DOCTOR, WE 25:36 APPRECIATE YOUR TIME WITH US. >> I APPRECIATE IT 25:40 TOO. >> Bill: WE ARE GOING TO CLOSE OUR PROGRAMME 25:42 WITH PRAYER. FATHER IN HEAVEN, THANK YOU FOR THIS 25:43 WONDERFUL TIME WE HAVE SPENT, THANK YOU FOR 25:46 THE GOOD COUNSEL WE HAVE HEARD, AND I PRAY FOR 25:50 THOSE LISTENING, THOSE WHO NEED TO MAKE THE KINDS 25:51 OF CHANGES IN THEIR LIVES THAT WILL BRING HEALTH 25:55 AND HAPPINESS TO THEIR LIVES, THAT YOU WILL GIVE 25:58 THEM THE STRENGTH TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES, MAY YOUR 26:00 HAND BE UPON THOSE THAT ARE SUFFERING RIGHT NOW, 26:02 BRING HEALING INTO THEIR LIVES AND PEACE INTO THEIR 26:06 HEART, WE PRAY IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. 26:15 >> Bill: YOU KNOW I OFTEN HEAR FROM VIEWERS, 26:16 OH, I WISH MY FRIEND OR NEIGHBOUR HAD HEARD THIS 26:19 PROGRAMME. IT WAS SUCH IMPORTANT INFORMATION. 26:22 WELL, YOU MAY HAVE A FRIEND OR A FAMILY MEMBER 26:23 WHO NEEDS TO HEAR ABOUT OSTEOPOROSIS, AND THE 26:26 CANADIAN OF THINGS THAT CAN HELP PREVENT THAT. 26:29 WELL, WE'D LIKE TO OFFER YOU A FREE D.V.D. OF THIS 26:30 PROGRAMME TO SHARE WITH THEM. IS IT A GIFT FROM 26:34 "IT IS WRITTEN", FREE OF CHARGE TO YOU.
