Anti-Aging
Therapy
Do you want to live longer, feel better, and cut
years from your age? If we continue to recognize the answers
about aging and disease, anti-aging scientists predict that that
average life-spans of 120-150 years will be achieved before the year
2047.
-
Imagine "wonder drugs" that extend your life
span by 25 percent or more, allowing you to live to be 120 years
old.
-
Imagine "wonder drugs" that maintain your
youth, enabling you to enjoy work, sex, and social activities with
the same zest that marked your life at 35 or
45.
-
Imagine that these "wonder drugs" had no side
effects or known long term dangers, because they were not actually
drugs at all, but substances that occurred naturally in your
body.
The fact is, we don't have to imagine these "wonder drugs" at
all. They already exist. They are our natural hormones, like
estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, DHEA, thyroid, growth hormone,
melatonin, and pregnenolone.
What we now know medically is that as we age, the amounts and
the functions of all these hormones, for both men and women, become
deficient. Deficiencies of vital "youthful hormones" have now been
definitely linked to many of the conditions we have previously
surrendered as "natural aging ailments", such as cardiovascular
disease, atherosclerosis, heart attacks, strokes, cancer, diabetes,
mental deterioration, muscle wasting, skin wrinkles and sags, lack
of vigor, and joint disease, just to name a few of the most common
ones.
In the truest sense of
preventive medicine, if we know what these hormones do for our
health in our youth, and we know they decline as we get older,
wouldn't it make sense to correct these hormone deficiencies in an
effort to sustain health?
This is exactly what the newest specialty of medicine,
Longevity medicine is all about. We are entering an exciting
revolution in science and medicine that identifies aging as a
preventable "disease" process.
The downward spiral of physical and mental decline that we
have come to accept as a natural part of growing older is becoming
recognized as a preventable disease that can be controlled. The most
effective solution of any disease process is prevention of that
disease - and aging is no exception.
We are entering an era where mainstream medicine will focus
on prevention of the aging process and thereby achieve prevention of
both the diseases of aging, as well as the symptoms of aging.
Several biomarkers of aging have been recognized and are easily
measured by simple laboratory tests. These include hormone assays,
cell injury measurements, free radical cell damage measurements,
intracellular nutrition and health measurements.
Is it time to "Stop the
Clock" and regain your prime of life vitality?
