In a considerable mischaracterization, the Biogenesis scandal has been painted as an outrage against the integrity of Major League Baseball. Were told to revile the now-defunct anti-aging clinic in Coral Gables because it tempted sports heroes with performance-enhancing drugs and further sullied the reputation of the corporate conglomerate formerly known as Americas pastime.

Biogenesis not only implicated the likes of the Yankees Alex Rodriguez and the Brewers Ryan Braun along with 18 other professional baseball players in its doping racket, but to our collective horror did it after baseball Commissioner Bud Selig had declared doping virtually nonexistent and clearly a thing of the past.

Revelations seeping out of Biogenesis showed Selig to be a fool. And Major League Baseball, in league with the nations sportswriters, went after the players with such a fury that no one much noticed the real crimes perpetrated down at 1390 South Dixie Highway. Not even the Miami-Dade state attorneys office. Not even the local cops.

According to whistleblower Porter Fischer, Biogenesis of America was doping children. Injecting high school kids with illegal and dangerous amalgamations of anabolic steroids and human growth hormones. Along with professional and college athletes, the patient list at the storefront clinic included Miami-Dade high school ball players, come to emulate their pro heroes and cheat their way to stardom.

That should have been cause for outrage. But as Miami Herald reporter Julie Brown reported last week, these felonies were simply shrugged off by local law enforcement. Brown interviewed Fischer, the former employee and investor in Biogenesis turned whistleblower who, armed with incriminating documents filched from the clinic, ignited this latest pro baseball scandal.

But Fischer also offered up evidence of criminal medical procedures involving children. He told Brown that he had notified authorities that young athletes, mostly baseball players, from Gulliver, Columbus, St. Brendan, South Miami and other South Florida high schools had also been juiced at Biogenesis by Anthony Bosch, the clinics counterfeit doctor, who prescribed his pharmaceutical concoctions without the bother of a medical degree.

You want the stuff of outrage? Consider this quote from Fischers lawyer: I dont know why law enforcement hasnt gotten involved, to be honest, Raymond Rafool told Brown. We really cant figure it out. Porter is very upset. Youre talking about high school kids getting this stuff from this clinic. For kids who havent even given their bodies the opportunity to grow to be doing this was really disturbing to him.

Disturbing to him. Not to law enforcement. Not to the Miami-Dade state attorney.

Bosch got off with a $5,000 fine for practicing medicine without a license, levied by the Florida Department of Health pocket change in the highly profitable, ethically bankrupt world of anti-aging clinics.

Why no interest from local cops? Probably because the client list, as Brown reported, also included local cops (along with some lawyers and at least one judge.) It would be like expecting elementary schoolchildren to shut down Cold Stone Creamery.

Alex Rodriguez

Dr. Michael L. Gross, whose review of Alex Rodriguezs MRI put him at the center of a media maelstrom this week, was reprimanded by the New Jersey licensing board in February for violations at a Hackensack wellness center where he serves as medical director.

He paid a $30,000 fine plus $10,000 in expenses and agreed to take two courses, one on ethics and the other on "blood analyses and physical examinations," records show.

While a serious penalty, the discipline stopped far short of a license suspension. The consent order avoided further proceedings.

The Bergen County orthopedist, 56, told his office Thursday that he was "shutting down interviews," said Lisamarie Volino, the practice manager at the Active Center for Health & Wellness, across the street from Hackensack University Medical Center. She said she had taken about "a hundred calls" since Gross did a radio interview Wednesday saying that he saw no sign of significant injury in the MRI of the Yankees stars left quadriceps.

Gross, who has practiced in Bergen County since 1989, is chief of the sports medicine division at the medical center, but his comments did not represent that institution, said hospital spokeswoman Nancy Radwin.

Gross said Wednesday that Rodriguez was not his patient and had not received treatment at his wellness center. He did not physically examine the third baseman before offering his opinion, at Rodriguezs request.

The formal reprimand was for "failing to adequately ensure proper patient treatment involving the prescribing of hormones including steroids, at Active Health & Wellness Center," according to the states four-page document, signed by Gross and his attorney, Keith J. Roberts, as well as board president George J. Scott.

Gross had hired a practitioner who had completed medical school but did not have a license to practice medicine, the board said, adding that Gross failed to supervise patient care adequately. That practitioner went over blood test results with some patients, the doctor said in interviews.

This news release is available in German.

The findings are reported in the current issue of the "Journal of Clinical Investigation" (published online on July 25, 2013).

The body's repair mechanisms begin to fail with increasing age. As a result, signs of wear and tear appear and the risk for many diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders and cancer, increases. "Current efforts to develop therapies against age-related diseases target these disorders one by one," says Dr. Dan Ehninger, research group leader at the DZNE site in Bonn. "Influencing the aging process itself may be an alternative approach with the potential to yield broadly effective therapeutics against age-related diseases."

In this context, the substance rapamycin is noteworthy. Rapamycin is used in recipients of organ transplants, as it keeps the immune system in check and can consequently prevent rejection of the foreign tissue. In 2009, US scientists discovered another effect: Mice treated with rapamycin lived longer than their untreated counterparts. "Rapamycin was the first drug shown to extend maximal lifespan in a mammalian species. This study has created quite a stir," says Ehninger.

For Ehninger and his team, this finding motivated further studies: "We wanted to address if rapamycin slows down aging in mice or, alternatively, if it has an isolated effect on lifespan - without broadly modulating aging."

Not a youth elixir

Together with scientists from the Helmholtz Zentrum Mnchen and other colleagues, Ehninger's group investigated if rapamycin influences aging in mice. The results are sobering: "Our results indicate that rapamycin extends lifespan, but it has only limited effects on the aging process itself," is Ehninger's summary of the findings. "Most aging traits were not affected by rapamycin treatment. Although we did observe positive effects on some aging traits, such as memory impairments and reduced red blood cell counts, our studies showed that similar drug effects are also seen in young mice, indicating that rapamycin did not influence these measures by slowing aging, but rather via other, aging-independent, mechanisms."

The researchers believe that such aging-independent drug effects also underlie rapamycin's effect on lifespan. "We assume that the lifespan of mice is extended because rapamycin inhibits tumor formation. This is a well-known rapamycin effect, which we were able to confirm. Cancer is the leading cause of death in the relevant mouse strains" says the specialist in molecular medicine. "Rapamycin, therefore, seems to have isolated effects on specific life-limiting pathology, but lacks broad effects on aging in mice."

T.A. Sciences. (PRNewsFoto/T.A. Sciences)

LOS ANGELES, July 24, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- T.A. Sciences participated at the American Academy of Anti Aging in San Diego on Saturday the 8th of June, discussing the benefits of their groundbreaking anti-cellular aging technology, TA-65. This anti-cellular aging technology is a unique molecular treatment that specifically targets the telomeres at the ends of DNA strands. TA-65 accomplishes this through cellular rejuvenation through telomerase activation.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130724/MN52150)

T.A. Sciences is proud to state, since 2005, TA-65 is a proven safe product with over 10,000 users. As a proven telomerase activator, TA-65 is given to clients as part of their daily health regimen. TA-65 galvanizes the hTERT gene and triggers the activation of the enzyme telomerase, which can rejuvenate cellular aging cells.

Telomerase, the naturally-occurring enzyme that is triggered by the TA-65 product, is a vital factor in cellular health. Telomerase acts on chromosomes by protecting chromosomal DNA through sustaining their protective telomeres. Controlled activation of telomerase in normal cells can improve telomere functional capacity, increase telomere length, and actively promote an increase in cellular lifespan. T.A. Sciences tested TA-65 through rigorous research by independent third-party laboratories, and the brand follows strict scientific procedures to guarantee the efficacy and safety of their products. Participants saw a reduction in the effects of cellular aging as a result of TA-65 entering the bloodstream during an anti-cellular aging trial back in 2005.

T.A. Sciences is on the cutting edge of the new frontier known as Telomere Biology. The scientific importance of telomeres and telomerase activation in healthcare is quickly gathering momentum as some of the brightest scientific minds of both the pharmaceutical and academic world do advance research in Telomere Biology. T.A. Sciences maintains strong relationships with the leading biotech firms and opinion leaders presently in the field. Dr. Calvin Harley, who discovered the link between telomeres and cellular aging, has worked with T.A. Sciences to integrate the latest scientific findings into their products.

T.A. Sciences is the exclusive provider of the TA-65 molecule used to combat the effects of cellular aging through Telomere Biology. TA-65 is a naturally occurring molecule found within a plant root that has been used in ancient China for over a thousand years. T.A. Sciences is the only producer of this molecule that delivers such a strong and satisfactory product, a process which took years of research and over a million dollars to develop.

The proceeding information summarizes T.A. Sciences' discussion at the American Academy of Anti- Aging in San Diego.

Photo Release: VitallifeExpert Shares Knowledge and Insight at International Anti-Aging Conference in Japan

U.S. sprinter Tyson Gay, who has the fastest time in the 100 this year, admitted on Sunday that he has tested positive for a banned substance.

After months of relative calm in U.S. track and field -- and encouraging performances heading into the world championships next month in Moscow -- the sport was dealt a setback Sunday when sprinter Tyson Gay, who has the world's fastest time this year in the 100 meters, admitted that an A sample of one of his drug tests had come back positive.

Reached by the Associated Press, Gay tearfully eschewed a "sabotage story" and refused to proffer one of the alibis that have become almost commonplace. Instead, after acknowledging that his A sample tested positive, he said, "I don't have any lies. I don't have anything to say to make this seem like it was a mistake." (Gay's B sample hasn't been tested yet.)

SI has learned that Gay has been treated by Atlanta chiropractor and anti-aging specialist Clayton Gibson. In the sports world, the term "anti-aging" has often come to signify therapy that uses hormones -- usually testosterone and HGH -- and testosterone precursors, like DHEA. DHEA can be obtained over the counter and is permitted in certain sports, including baseball, but not those contested in the Olympics.

Gay, who has withdrawn from the world championships, did not respond to multiple requests for comment from SI, and one of his agents told SI that his client would have no further statements at this time.

Reached by phone, Gibson told SI that he began working with Gay before the Olympic trials last year, and that he had no information beyond that Gay had been informed of a positive test. "We had [Gay's] blood tested and everything before the trials just as an evaluation and taking a history to learn about the patient," said Gibson.

Asked whether he provided Gay with a product containing a substance -- such as DHEA or testosterone -- that is banned in track and field, Gibson declined to comment "until I talk with Tyson." Gibson did say that, "what I have is all food-based products and herbals as well as homeopathic products. That's the only thing we have in our office. We don't have anything synthetic." DHEA and testosterone often come in creams containing substances banned in track and field. Asked if he makes creams that might contain substances banned in track, Gibson said he was not sure and that, "I don't make creams," but added, "We have labs that make those."

Gibson said that he did not know exactly what Gay was taking. "Until I look at his files, I wouldn't be able to know exactly what he was given," he said. "And I have to have a release to give out his information."

Gibson said that Gay had been referred to him by former U.S. sprinter Jon Drummond, who once coached Gay and was the Team USA relay coach at the 2012 Olympics. Gay was a member of the 4x100-meter relay team in London. Drummond denied in a text message to SI that he referred Gay to Gibson, but said he met the doctor with Gay last year. "I had heard good reports about [Gibson] from various athletes, so I hoped to engage in some due diligence with respect to his practice, just as I have done with many medical providers over the years ... I did not recommend that Tyson enter a relationship with him, long-term or otherwise. I have not worked with Tyson since September 2012 and have no knowledge as to what relationships he may have entered during that period."

For centuries, people-and not just women, but men too-have been obsessed with the twin concepts of youth and beauty. The legend woven around Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon and the Fountain of Youth is something that has kept us enthralled since the 16th century.

Whether it is true or not, the fact remains that the search for ageless beauty and youth has turned into a worldwide obsession. Medical practitioners say that this generation is more fortunate because advances in medicine and cosmetic dermatology have been so rapid that now practically any threat to staying young can be addressed. Lasers and stem-cell therapy are just two of the innovations we have seen in recent decades that are helping people stay young and beautiful.

The good news is that there is an increasing number of Filipino doctors who are staying abreast with these new trends. One of them is Dr. Francis Decangchon of the newly-opened Asian Center for Ageless Beauty (located at the second floor of the La Breza Hotel along Mother Ignacia Street in Quezon City, a stone's throw away from EDSA and the ABS-CBN compound). A graduate of the UST College of Medicine and a practitioner of cosmetic dermatology for years and regarded as an expert in the field, Dr. Decangchon has branched out into what is known as regenerative or anti-aging medicine. Although it might sound like a whole lot of medical mumbo-jumbo, it's actually not: all it is, at its core, is a simple and straightforward theory that has been studied and picked apart by experts and is just now beginning to come to light.

Dr. Decangchon explains that during the '50s and '60s, those who wanted to stay young had to resort to radical measures that involved invasive, meaning surgical, procedures. Of late, however, the emphasis has shifted to minimally-invasive, less invasive or, in some cases, non-invasive ways of staying young or ageless.

When women, for instance, hit their 30s and 40s, they began to lose their natural supply of collagen and elastin. The skin begins to sag and lose its elasticity. Fortunately, there is a solution. "Nowadays," says Dr. Decangchon, "you have patients at 30 years old; they can already start having lifting, so by the time you reach your 50s and 60s, banat pa 'yan. If you start treatments early, 50s ka na, di ka pa nag-lo-lose, because lasers are also used to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin."

The Asian Center for Ageless Beauty is one of the few clinics pioneering these kinds of treatments and approach to beauty. But aside from the usual facials, laser treatments and yes, liposuction, one service they offer that has generated a lot of interest falls within the purview of what is known as regenerative medicine, which is the in thing now in Europe and the US.

"This establishment is for more than just aesthetic surgery or cosmetic dermatology; it's for regenerative medicine, which is the in-thing now," says Dr. Decangchon. "It's the specialty of the 21st century. Because when we start to age, the main thing you lose is the dwindling hormonal supply. This happens not just during menopause in women, but also andropause in men. So what we do is hormone replacement, but specifically, bio-identical hormones, meaning you're replacing something that is identical to what you're losing."

For example, fat cells that are taken from your body contain stem cells. Dr. Decangchon says that as opposed to stem cell treatments that involve harvesting stem cells from sheep, these are stem cells coming from your own body. Stem cells are actually present in three areas or regions of your body: your blood, your bone marrow, and your fat. But fat has a thousand times more stem cells than the two others; and stem cells, he goes on to explain, "are very, very young cells that are pluri-potential, meaning they have the tendency to grow to become a muscle cell, a joint cell, a fat cell, a heart muscle cell-they have that potential. Uso 'yan ngayon. Kapag masakit ang joints mo, if you have osteoarthritis, it can go to that area and rejuvenate it. Ni-re-renew niya lahat."

Dr. Decangchon's Asian Center for Ageless Beauty offers this kind of treatment. He believes that it is controversial only because people don't really understand enough about it. Infusions of bio-identical hormones are safer because they are hormones/cells taken from other areas of your body and re-directed to where they are needed.

Before, it used to be, when you submit to a liposuction, everybody thought it was the end of the line and the fat that is extracted is simply thrown away. However, now medical practitioners and cosmetic or regenerative surgeons like Dr. Decangchon are finding out that nothing can be further from the truth. "Your fat can be used, number one, as fillers, instead of synthetic fillers. Hindi ka dapat matakot kasi taba mo din 'yan. It's all yours," he says.

A phony anti-aging drug that was banned 30 years ago in the U.S. may be making an illegal comeback, research shows.

Thomas Perls, MD, of Boston Universitys School of Medicine, said that anti-aging and longevity clinics advertise Gerovital H3 in pill form and as intravenous infusions. The federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA0 banned the subanstance in 1982.

His findings were published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.

Gerovital H3, the dental anesthetic novocaine, was widely abused in the 1950s by Hollywood stars, and is often included as an additive to cocaine. A study conducted by a Romanian physician in that same decade claimed that the substance had substantial anti-aging properties. That study was later discredited. Later studies failed to prove that Gerotival H3 prevented cognitive impairment or dementia.

Yet today an internet search comes up with more than 300,000 hits, including sales of the substance by U.S.-based companies.

Perls said that the recent jump in marketing and sales in the U.S. is primarily due to Internet-based marketing.

Inquiring patients and the public, he added, need to be informed about the approved and unapproved uses of procaine hydrochloride and aware that there is no scientific evidence supporting any systemic health benefits or anti-aging effects of the drug.
