Here is some more info on the Tuesday Jan 18th Lecture by Dr. Stuart H. Garber. It starts promptly at 6:30 pm for about an hour at the Whole Foods in Venice at Rose Ave. (225 Lincoln Ave Venice 90291)

Osteoporosis is a silent disease with literally no warning signs. One can live with the early stages of this disease for years, than suddenly have to deal with the severity of a full blown osteoporosis diagnosis. Most people don’t realize with proper diet and care, this debilitating disease can be prevented.


This Tuesday, January 18th at 6:30 pm, Dr. Stuart H. Garber will be speaking at Whole Foods in Venice (225 Lincoln Blvd, at Rose Ave 90291) for about an hour. There will also be a Q&A section so Dr. Garber can answer your questions.


Dr. Stuart H. Garber, D.C., Ph.D. has been practicing holistic medicine since 1981. In 1997, Dr. Garber became the first person in the United States to receive a Ph.D. in homeopathy. He is the developer of Dr. Garber's Natural Solutions line of condition specific biotherapy formulas and he practices in Santa Monica, CA, where he also conducts research in homeopathic medicine.  Dr. Garber has lectured to medical, dental, chiropractic and acupuncture groups in the United States, Europe, Asia and the Caribbean.
 

Over 10 million people in the United States already have osteoporosis. This condition, which is a thinning of the bones, is the most common bone disease. In fact, 18 million more people have low bone density, placing them at increased risk for the disease.


Despite the common belief that osteoporosis is a “woman’s disease,” one out of every five people with osteoporosis is a man. That's 2 million men with osteoporosis, most of who probably thought they would never need to worry about it, believing it to be a women's condition!


Fractures are the most common and serious complication of osteoporosis, typically of the hip or vertebra. In the elderly however, a fracture does not just mean a broken bone. Becoming bed ridden as a result of a fracture can lead to severe complications and often death.

Tuesday, January 18th at 6:30 pm, enjoy a FREE informative lecture at Whole Foods (225 Lincoln Blvd at Rose Ave) by noted homeopath Dr. Stuart H. Garber. Take charge of your own health by utilizing cutting edge information as you learn how to keep your bones strong and free of osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis, or thinning of the bones, (literally: porous bone) is the
most common bone disease. Starting with low bone density, it can go unrecognized, progressing to a much more serious condition.  In the United States today, 10 million individuals already have osteoporosis and 18 million more have low bone density, placing them at increased risk for the disease.
 

Out of every five people with osteoporosis, one is a man. That's 2 million men with osteoporosis, most of who probably thought it was only a women's disease!


Fractures are the most common and serious complication of osteoporosis, typically of the hip or vertebra. In the elderly, however, a fracture does not just mean a broken bone. Becoming bed ridden as a result of a fracture can lead to severe complications and often death.


Tuesday January 18th at 6:30 pm, don’t miss this FREE informative lecture at Whole Foods in Venice, (225 Lincoln Blvd at Rose Ave) by respected homeopath, Dr. Stuart H. Garber. Be in control of your health and learn how to take preventative measures to keep your bones strong and avoid osteoporosis. Dr. Garber will be on hand to take questions after the hour long lecture.
