Banned fountain of youth drug may be making a comeback

Posted on by

July 3, 2013 Despite it being more than 30 years since the "fountain of youth drug" Gerovital H3 was banned in the United States, it may be making a comeback. In an editorial published in this month's Journal of the American Geriatrics Society BUSM researcher Thomas Perls, MD, points out that a few U.S.-based anti-aging and longevity clinics have begun to advertise Gerovital H3 in pill form and as intravenous infusions despite the fact that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned it in 1982.

Gerovital H3 is the dental anesthetic procaine hydrochloride (novocaine), yet in the 1950s, this drug was abused among Hollywood stars. According to Perls governmental bodies such as the FDA are relied upon to protect their citizens from drugs that do not do what they are claimed to do or are unsafe, yet in communist Romania, the opposite occurred with the state-sponsored marketing of Gerovital H3. In 1956, a paper titled "A new method for prophylaxis and treatment of aging with Novocain-eutrophic and rejuvenating effects" was published in the now discontinued journal Therapiewoche by Ana Aslan, director of the Geriatrics Institute of Bucharest. As a result the communist regime established an anti-aging resort and clinic for foreigners.

Perls explains that by the 1970s, the National Institute on Aging commissioned a thorough evaluation of the studies and claims surrounding Gerovital H3. "The conclusion of that work was that, except for a possible mild monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor effect that would potentially ameliorate depression, there was no scientifically credible evidence supporting the claims that procaine hydrochloride is beneficial in treating age-related diseases or syndromes," said Perls, professor medicine at BUSM and director of the New England Centenarian and Supercentenarian Studies at Boston Medical Center. Perls points out that a plausible explanation for why some subjects might have experienced some improvements in health was that, in addition to receiving Gerovital H3, they were receiving other interventions such as exercise, stress reduction and healthy nutrition. "Thus, a glaring problem for the demonstration of any benefit associated with Gerovital H3 or similar compounds is the absence of any double-blind, placebo controlled trials demonstrating a significant improvement in the outcomes that anti-aging doctors and entrepreneurs claimed," he added.

Additional studies were later performed to further investigate a possible MAO inhibitory effect from procaine hydrochloride and any subsequent neurocognitive benefit but there was no evidence that procaine and its preparations could treat or preventing cognitive impairment or dementia.

"Gerovital H3 appears to have experienced a recent rebound in marketing and sales in the United States, primarily because of Internet-based marketing. A search for "Gerovital H3" on Google or Yahoo! results in more than 300,000 hits. Inquiring patients and the public 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," said Perls.

Sunscreen: the ultimate anti-aging cream

June 30, 2013 Sunscreen: the ultimate anti-aging cream

Special to The Leader The Orange Leader The Orange Leader Sun Jun 30, 2013, 02:48 AM CDT

HOUSTON Why buy expensive wrinkle creams when the most effective anti-aging product is a simple bottle of sunscreen?

Dr. John Wolf, chair and professor of dermatology at Baylor College of Medicine, recommends using a daily application of a sunscreen with an SPF, or sun protection factor, of at least 15 to help counteract premature aging. It will also help protect against skin cancer.

Although individuals typically use sunscreen to prevent painful sunburns, Wolf said damaged skin becomes thicker and darker. So essentially, tanned skin is damaged skin.

Wolf also advises parents to make sure their children are protected because 70 percent of sun damage happens before age 17. Former sun worshipers should also use sunscreen to protect their skin from further damage.

Tips for younger-looking skin this summer include:

Using sunscreen that protects against UVA and UVB rays.

Staying out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Reapplying sunscreen throughout the day, especially when sweating.

NIAGEN™ Nicotinamide Riboside Offers Huge Potential as Next Generation Niacin

New Ingredient Backed by Scientific Evidence May Have Wide Appeal as a Dietary Supplement and Food Additive

The demand for anti-aging products among baby boomers is almost insatiable, and there is no shortage of companies looking to meet that demand. Whether it is cosmetic surgery, facial injections, supplements or newly touted concoctions, Americans will buy almost anything that promises to restore youth, vitality, physique and energy.

Many of the supplements and nutraceuticals that promise dramatic anti-aging and health benefits fail to deliver anything short of subtle results at best. Few, if any, can deliver on the promise of anti-aging benefits through a "beauty from within" concept.

There is, however, a genuinely innovative ingredient that has the promise to deliver pronounced results without invasive procedures or significant expense. It is NIAGEN from ChromaDex (OTCQB:CDXC - News), which was introduced this month as the first and only commercially available form of nicotinamide riboside. Also called NR, nicotinamide riboside is a metabolic booster found in milk and whey. Often referred to as a "miracle molecule", NR shows promise in research studies to help address many of the symptoms associated with aging and health care in general: obesity, cholesterol, muscle loss, energy decline, insulin sensitivity and more.

NR is a more potent form of the more commonly known vitamin B3 niacin. It is an important part of the cellular metabolism of humans, improving the way cells use energy. On a cellular level, NR is used to create what is called the NAD+ coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide a key part of a number of vital metabolic processes. NAD+ plays a key role in the way your mitochondria function. Mitochondria are known as the "energy powerhouses of the cell" because they are the source for most cellular chemical energy. But they are also involved with other tasks such as cell death, cell growth and control of the cycle of cell division. Research indicates that NR could be used as a nutritional supplement to improve metabolic and age-related disorders characterized by defective mitochondrial function.

You don't have to be a biologist to recognize that each of these functions may have something meaningful to do with the way we age as individuals and how our bodies change over time. The first and only commercially available source of NR, NIAGEN may help promote improved mitochondrial function, generating health benefits that are broad and meaningful.

In fact, studies lend a considerable degree of scholarly support to this concept. In 2007, for example, a trio of scholars from the Dartmouth Medical School's Department of Genetics and Biology performed a survey of the state of knowledge surrounding NAD+(1) and found that higher levels of cellular NAD+ may offer a host of benefits. Some of these may include potentially positive cell protective and metabolic effects, enhanced cardiovascular health, more appropriate glucose levels and improved cognitive function.

Remarkably, that report came out only three years after NR was first discovered. In that time, interest among researchers in the potential of NR as a contributor to life extension has only grown. Some of the more compelling recent published findings include:

-Researchers from Weill Cornell Medical College and the Polytechnic School in Lausanne, Switzerland reported in the June 2012 issue of the journal Cell Metabolism that high doses of NR prevented obesity in mice that were fed a fatty diet. The same study also found that higher levels of NAD+ increased muscle performance, improved energy expenditure and prevented diabetes development, all without side effects.(2)

-A June 2013 study from Neurobiology of Aging reported that dietary treatment with NR might benefit the cognitive function of patients suffering with Alzheimer's Disease, and that as a supplement, NR may help reduce the presence of certain Alzheimer's-associated toxins in the brain.(3)

LA Integrative Releases Video of SIBO Testing Diagnosing 80% Of IBS Patients Having SIBO

Posted on by

Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) June 27, 2013

In a newly released video on June 3rd, 2013 to YouTube, expert Gastroenterologist Dr. Farshid Sam Rahbar discusses cutting-edge tests for individuals suffering from irritable bowel syndrome.

We provide intestinal breath testing and it is a valuable test evaluating a variety of symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, altered bowel habits, food allergies, food sensitivity, and autoimmune disorders. Intestinal breath testing can be done at our office, in other physicians' offices, or it can be done at a patient's own home. says Dr. Farshid Sam Rahbar. SIBO intestinal breath testing works by measuring gases such as hydrogen and methane that are produced by intestinal bacteria on carbohydrates like sugars, starches, or vegetable fibers. These gases will then be reabsorbed into your blood stream which can then be measured through a person's breath.

Multiple studies have found that there is a important link between IBS cases having SIBO and that up to 80% of patients with IBS have SIBO. Researches have found that there is a statistically significant reduction of IBS symptoms after therapy treatment for SIBO. In an article titled Methanobrevibacter smithii Is the Predominant Methanogen in Patients with Constipation-Predominant IBS and Methane on Breath published in Volume 57 of Digestive Diseases and Sciences, in May of 2012, researchers studied the gut contents of over 300 people and found that just over one-third (37.5%) of IBS sufferers have SIBO and only 10% of patients without IBS had SIBO. Additionally, 60% of diarrhea-predominant IBS patients had SIBO.

Dr. Farshid Sam Rahbar explains that the process of intestinal breath testing is simple and non-invasive for patients. He advocates the importance of realizing the value of measuring Methane and CO2 because most health insurance companies only cover Hydrogen as a gas measurement. Although the procedure is simple, he also emphasizes that the actual measurement of the gases is complex and requires a high attention to detail.

Farshid Sam Rahbar, MD, FACP, ABIHM is a leading integrative gastroenterologist in Los Angeles. He incorporates anti-aging and functional medicine for an integrative-holistic approach to digestive care. His main clinical interests include consultative gastroenterology, internal medicine, liver disease and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), clinical nutrition, occupational and environmental illnesses in relation to GI illness, preventive and functional medicine, toxic exposure and effects on the GI system, medical-legal services (AME), and clinical research.

Autologous stem cell therapies make the difference

Posted on by

People cannot effectively represent or endorse products or services if they don't epitomize them. And Dr. Cristina A. Puyat is one of those few persons who believe and symbolize the brand she stands for. After all, the still youthful-looking medical practitioner founded one of the most well-known anti-aging and regenerative stem cell therapy clinics in the country.

The Asian Stem Cell Institute (ASCI) offers autologous, tissue-derived stem cell harvesting and treatment for injuries and medical conditions of all types, which includes autism, osteoarthritis, and joint pains. It also introduces comprehensive aesthetics and anti-aging treatments. The stem cell therapy has custom-compound formulations that consist of hormone balancing, nutritional intravenous infusions, and herbal support.

''Autologous stem cell treatment is safe and well-tolerated by the body. When you say autologous, it means that the harvest of the stem cell comes from the same person. Whatever we get from you, that's the one we will process and return. So, it's not coming from any other sources, not embryo or coming from a sheep,'' Puyat explains.

The advanced autologous treatment isolates, expands, and safely re-infuses stem cells from a patient's own adipose stroma (fat), bone marrow, and blood. This regenerative medicine undergoes the process of replacing and renewing cells or organs to restore them back to health.

Also, what sets autologous therapy from its contemporaries is that there is no standard approach to all patients. Puyat explains that each individual has a unique biochemistry that depends on one's age, sex, and genetic predisposition hence, the treatment should tailor-fit the patient with a particular condition.

Trained medical doctors perform the harvesting of fat tissue and extracting of bone marrow, which minimize the damage to the surrounding tissue and stem cells. ASCI has advance and cutting edge services using the ISO 4 Class clean area, where their in-house cellular biologists/microbiologists conduct their processes.

Dr. Cristina Puyat has spent 30 years studying medicine and health. She completed her Masters degree in Science of Preventive, Anti-Ageing, and Regenerative Medicine at the Dresden International University in Germany.

ASCI is located at Medical Plaza Ortigas, Pasig City.

Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. William Middleton Claims the Vampire Stem Cells Facial as an Exceptional Anti-Aging Solution

Posted on by

Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) June 18, 2013

According to Stanford Medical, platelet-rich plasma has been used in applications of medicine for decades. Now, doctors have developed the vampire facial, utilizing platelet- rich plasma, delivering a revolutionary organic anti-aging procedure.

Platelet-rich plasma therapy, better known as PRP, has been used by doctors for years to treat and help heal injuries and conditions related to muscles, bones, and tendons. More recently however, doctors have been implementing PRP in their evolving quest to find treatments to fight against the signs of aging. PRP facial, or more commonly referred to as the vampire facial, has shortly become Hollywoods latest trend, attracting celebrities like Kim Kardashian and even being featured in this years Academy Awards gift bags. Though relatively new and not well studied, PRP and the vampire facial just might be the next great breakthrough in anti-aging treatments.

PRP, the active ingredient of the vampire facial, was originally developed to aid in healing injuries and conditions, most commonly, sports injuries such as torn ACLs. PRP helps athletes recover faster by promoting and speeding up the heeling process. As Stanford Medical described it, The basic idea behind PRP injection is to deliver high concentrations of growth factors to an area of injury, with hope of stimulating a healing response and reducing inflammation in the tissue. The same idea applies to reducing the signs of aging.

When undergoing a vampire facial, doctors draw blood from the patients arm and then spin the blood in a centrifuge, separating it into its different parts of red blood cells, platelets, and plasma. The middle layer, composed of PRP, contains highly concentrated platelets, which are the cells that normally promote clotting. These platelet cells consist of a number of specialized cells called growth factors. When injected, these growth factor cells interact with local skin cells and send signals. These signals ultimately initiate a variety of events including cell division, migration, and collagen formation. The idea is that by promoting the formation of collagen, the primarily ingredient that has been linked to helping correct the visible effects of wrinkles, the body is rejuvenating itself.

When reading it from a textbook, the science makes sense, however there is still a lot that is fairly unknown in regards to the vampire facial. As Popular Science states, Theres no evidence at all that this gory procedure works, and only the babiest starting evidence that injecting platelets into the skin works at all against the appearance of aging. Needless to say, this isnt stopping many people. Since the vampire facial is 100% organic, all-natural, and derived from your own blood, there are few side affects and no chance of an allergic reaction. Furthermore, a vampire facial does not use any additional chemically engineered injectables such as Botox or dermal fillers, which have a greater chance of causing an allergic reaction and side affects.

The vampire stem cell facial has lately been receiving a lot of attention in all the major fashion and pop culture magazines, and from of the looks of it, this procedure really works. In a recent issue of Glow Magazine, the senior editor, Katie Rae, decided to try out this hot new procedure. She consulted with Dr. Middleton, a premier cosmetic surgeon in Toronto, for her vampire facial. After undergoing the vampire facial with Dr. Middleton, in Katie Raes article she reported, I do look fresher and more rested. My face looks fuller and calmer somehow. Katie Rae further writes, I go to the mirror and I am pleasantly surprised at what I see. The next day, a co-worker tells me I look 5 years younger.

With results like those seen with Katie Rae, the vampire facial is likely to grow and become apart of our anti-aging regimen. Dr. Middleton is just one of a handful of qualified cosmetic surgeons that understand the benefits of the vampire facial and are offering it to their patients. The vampire facial is giving those seeking anti-aging treatments another option to choose from.
