Anti-Aging

What causes us to age more rapidly than others? This is a multi-billion dollar industry and involves magic potions, quick fixes and many scams that are gobbled up by those who want a quick fix. This has proven time and again not to work in the long run and is very expensive. A4m is the leading organization in the world to present ne w ideas to thousands of practitioners, of which I am a member. There approach started out with the promotion of Growth Hormone as being the magic Youth Fountain but even they realized after a while that more functional approaches need to be added and are now one of the leading presenters of new information from around the world, many we know and have worked with in the past and many are just emerging into the scene with exciting protocols such as stem cell therapies, etc. We study and review all of them to see how they will fit into our practice. I am in touch with all the leading experts in the area of stem cell therapy from Bangkok to Cancun. We now have the ability to extract your stem cells and save but want to develop a program of accentuating the cells and re-injecting as they do in foreign countries. The federal government has in the past determined your ability to get this therapy and now we are watching what happens to make it more acceptable in the states but until then we have to send off shore.

WHAT IS ANTI-AGING MEDICINE? A decade ago, anti-aging medicine was labeled by some as science fiction. Ten years later, many of the insights of anti-aging pioneering researchers and clinicians have become science fact. Today, scientists know much more about the deterioration and vulnerability to disease that typifies the aging process. Many of these discoveries can be attributed to the advent of anti-aging medicine, heralding in a new era for an innovative healthcare model and exciting scientific field of study.

Anti-aging medicine is a medical specialty founded on the application of advanced scientific and medical technologies for the early detection, prevention, treatment, and reversal of age-related diseases. It is a healthcare model promoting innovative science and research to prolong the healthy lifespan in humans. As such, anti-aging medicine is based on principles of sound and responsible medical care that are consistent with those applied in other preventive health specialties. Anti-aging medicine is:

  • Scientific. Anti-aging diagnostic and treatment practices are supported by scientific evidence and therefore cannot be branded as anecdotal.

  • Evidence-based. Anti-aging medicine is based on an orderly process for acquiring data in order to formulate a scientific and objective assessment upon which effective treatment is assigned.

  • Holistic. Anti-aging medicine utilizes an organized framework for the head-to-toe diagnostic assessment, and subsequent design of a treatment regimen.

  • Synergistic. Anti-aging medicine recognizes that oftentimes, a multi-modal, multi-therapeutic approach (including nutritional supplements) may deliver greater rejuvenative effects than by administering single therapies alone.

  • Well-documented. By peer-reviewed journals including Aging, American Journal of Cardiology (AJC), Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), Lancet, and many others.

Anti-aging medicine focuses on the application of high-tech diagnostic and treatment biomedical technologies for the very earliest detection and most aggressive care of disease. The goal of anti-aging medicine is not to merely prolong the total years of an individual's life, but to ensure that those years are enjoyed in a productive and vital fashion.

Anti-aging addresses hormones, heavy toxins, neurotransmitter, insulin/sugar balance, telomeres (the aging ticking clock), diseases, diet and much more as they realize functional medicine is the cornerstone to living a long and productive and happy life.
