Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) March 12, 2014

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the most commonly studied disorder when it comes to male sexual dysfunction. It is estimated that 18 million men in the US alone suffer from erectile dysfunction and that it appears to be affecting 1 in 4 males under age 40 according to a study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine.

While the emphasis of treatments for ED focuses on relieving the symptoms, they only provide a temporary solution rather than a cure or reversing the cause.

The DaSilva Institute is excited to announce the recruitment of males suffering from ED, in an IRB study, which will look at the safety, and efficacy of autologous, adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) in regenerating the causes of ED.

The evidence shows that ADSCs reverses the pathophysiological changes leading to ED, rather than treating the symptoms of ED. Not only is the data in the literature compelling, but our own, in-house, results on our patients have been phenomenal, states Dr. DaSilva.

The many underlying causes for ED that are being investigated range from those secondary to aging, to injury of the cavernous nerve secondary to injury, surgery and/or radiation of the prostate, to diabetic ED and Peyronies Disease to name a few. According to Dr. DaSilva, the possibilities for ADSCs in reversing ED are limitless.

Currently, there is an expansive and growing body of evidence in the medical literature strongly indicating that ADSCs might be a potential cure for ED, rather than merely symptom relief, which is indicative of the increasing interest in ADSC-regenerative options for sexual medicine over the past decade. The DaSilva Institutes goal is to take this from pre-clinical studies to the clinical world offering it to all males that suffer from intractable ED under an IRB approved protocol.

More information about Dr. DaSilva and the DaSilva Institute Guy DaSilva, MD is currently the medical director of the DaSilva Institute of Anti-Aging, Regenerative & Functional Medicine, located in Sarasota, Florida. Dr. DaSilvas enthusiasm for using autologous stem cells in regenerative medicine comes from his early days as a pathologist in New York City back in 1987 and later as a fellow in hematology in1990 following his residency in internal medicine.

He later brought his expertise in molecular and cellular medicine to the University of Kansas Medical Center where he served as chief of Hematology & Hematopathology. He later became the CEO and medical director of HemePath Institute, a diagnostic leader in diagnosing the most difficult cases of leukemia and lymphomas. Most recently, Dr. DaSilva teamed up with one of the most influential stem cell scientist in the world to bring the highest quality and viability of the harvested stem cells, bar none, to the DaSilva Institute.

Dr. DaSilva is board certified and fellowship trained in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine. For more information about Dr. DaSilva or the DaSilva Institute go to http://www.dasilvainstitute.com.

Dr. John Pierce, a Las Vegas-based anti-aging doctor, has heard from several fighters who say theyd rather go to the black market for performance-enhancing drugs than get a therapeutic-use exemption (TUE) for testosterone.

But now that the Nevada State Athletic Commission has closed the TUE program for testosterone-replacement therapy (TRT), he believes everyone will go the illicit route.

What theyve in essence done is taken people that were forthright about their usage of testosterone for a medical purpose and punished them for it, Pierce told MMAjunkie. That makes no sense because, bottom line, its going to happen.

Instead of having a physician involved in the care of a patient monitoring their levels, where youre getting a test all the time, much more so than you would a normal patient because of the nature of their work youre going to get people doing it underground, using black market steroids, not bio-identical hormones that have not been tested. They could potentially get themselves sick injecting themselves with whatever.

And then, at that juncture, theyre cheating because theyre not being forthright about it.

Among thousands seeking a license to fight in the state, the NSAC has issued a total of six exemptions to MMA fighters over the past seven years until its decision this past month to ban them outright. The regulatory body also turned away several fighters who sought a TUE as the exemption process became more public and more controversial. There was, however, widespread belief in the MMA community that prior to the ban, the NSAC was helping to legitimize the use of a performance-enhancing drug.

NSACs TRT ban sets off dominoes

NSAC representatives repeatedly defended the practice of granting exemptions in the past, citing safeguards to avoid abuse, but they starkly reversed course in the recent meeting that produced the ban.

Asked whether the NSACs now-shuttered exemption process had steered athletes from the black market to above-board medical professionals, Pierce, an emergency medicine doctor who heads Las Vegas Ageless Forever clinic, initially said, It had the potential to do that, and in my experience, it did do that. He then clarified that he hadnt explicitly treated any fighters in such a situation, but he had spoken casually about it among Las Vegas large fight community.

I actually have had people tell me that doing it the illicit way was much easier, he said. They wouldnt even consider doing it the legal way, because it would be much easier to do it the illicit way. They wouldnt be under as much scrutiny.

Its the new age of medicine that has raised the hopes of anyone who wishes to live longer and feel better.

In the past, the ideal was to extend ones life span by 10 years, from age 60 to 70. But today, assuming one embraces a wellness lifestyle, 100 becomes the new 70. Here are answers to some of your most frequently asked questions.

I read somewhere that aging is a disease and not a natural biological occurrence. Is this true?

The proponents of anti-aging seriously believe that aging is a disease. And like all diseases, it has a cure. Through several approaches, one can treat aging. It can be dramatically delayed and in some cases, reversed.

While it seems that our biological clocks are ticking too fast and hastening the deterioration of the body, there should be no cause for alarm. As the years pass into the late 20s, the human body begins decreasing its production of vital hormones which are the hallmark of youthfulness.

This is when the advice of anti-aging experts and the prescription for living they prescribe can offer a patient a new lease on life. Aging is a condition. And like all conditions, it can be treated.

What would you recommend as a natural anti-aging regimen?

There are numerous approaches to delaying the aging process, from the simplest to the most elaborate. But all regimens have one foundation in commona healthy lifestyle.

Here are the steps:

1. Have a complete medical checkup by your doctor.

Dr. Marc L. Epstein, Aesthetic MD, Introduces Sculptherapy: a Revolutionary, Non-Surgical Facelift Alternative

Aesthetic Medicine specialist, Dr. Marc L. Epstein, of Harrison, NY introduces Sculptherapy, a revolutionary, anti-aging combination therapy that utilizes Scultpra Aesthetic cosmetic injections and Ultherapy ultrasound to provide patients with a non-surgical alternative to facelift surgery. Both Sculptra & Ultherapy offer exceptional levels of patient satisfaction and both are approved by the FDA.

Sculptherapy combines clinically proven, anti-aging procedures: Sculptra Aesthetic cosmetic injections with Ultherapy ultrasound to lift, tighten and tone face and neck skin. Sculptherapy is exciting and revolutionary because of the dramatic synergistic affects these combined therapies offer as an alternative to going "under the knife." Dr. Epstein understands that many patients do not want to endure facelift surgery but still want to look and feel younger. For many patients, Sculptherapy offers a real alternative to facelift surgery. Sculptherapy triggers the bodys own collagen regenerative process restoring both face and neck to a natural looking, more youthful appearance. Results appear gradually and subtly over two to three months with clinically proven results that require maintenance treatment only at about two years.

Dr. Epstein explains, As we age, we lose collagen, facial fat and bone mass resulting in drooping and wrinkling of the face and neck skin. Up until now, facelift surgery was the definitive solution. We now have the ability to offer non-surgical facial restoration with dramatic and natural looking results that require maintenance treatments only every two years. This revolutionary treatment stimulates your bodys own endogenous collagen while lifting, tightening and toning skin on the face and neck. Patients love the gradual, natural, long lasting results that saves them from invasive surgery and frees them from the time and expense of repeated dermal filler injections.

Ultherapy is the first and only non-invasive, aesthetic treatment cleared by the FDA with a non-invasive face and neck"lift" indication. Ultherapy utilizes micro-focused ultrasound that bypasses the surface of the skin targeting the deepest foundational layer of the skin where collagen resides. This deep foundational layer provides support to the skin and facial structure and is the same deep layer that is addressed in facelift surgery. All natural Ultherapy rejuvenates and strengthens collagen within the skin. It achieves a more open look to the eyes, lifts the eyebrows, creates a more defined jaw line, and tightens loose and sagging skin under the chin and on the neck.

Sculptra volumizing filler stimulates collagen regeneration to replace lost facial volume and contours. Sculptra is the only collagen stimulating, facial injectable approved by the FDA to last over two years. Each treatment consists of a few injections to the areas to be volumized, the cheek, and temple and jaw line. Usually 2 or 3 treatment sessions are required to get the desired effect. Sculptra Aesthetic is administered with local anesthesia and the discomfort is minimal. As with all other injections there can be temporary swelling and bruising. Otherwise, there is no 'downtime'.

Dr. Marc Epstein is a highly skilled Aesthetic Medicine MD specializing in non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments that manage the signs of aging. Dr. Epstein performs Botox cosmetic injections, dermal filler cosmetic injections, Liquid Facelifts, Sculptra, Chemical Peels, Ultherapy and Sculptherapy that help restore youth to your face and neck . Dr. Marc Epstein is one of the first certified providers in Westchester County, NY to offer Ultherapy and first to offer the newest combined alternative to facelift surgery called Sculptherapy. Dr. Epstein performs all treatments personally in his private and discreet practice located at 600 Mamaroneck Avenue, Harrison, New York. Dr. Epstein is licensed in both New York and Connecticut and serves patients through out Westchester County, NY and Fairfield County, CT. Appointments and complimentary consultations can be scheduled through his office at 914.301-9425 or via email at MarcEpsteinCosmeticMD.com

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 27, 2014

Lifenetics Inc. announces today the launch of a new chain of health and wellness centers, specifically designed for the baby-boomer population and featuring a comprehensive program of health, fitness and anti-aging services.

Lifenetics Centers respond to the urgent need to provide customized wellness programs for our aging population. According to U.S. Census Bureau data, by the year 2050, 87 million people in America will be more than 50 years old. However, of the approximately 30,000 health clubs in America, Lifenetics estimates that less than 1,000 clubs cater to this growing and demanding demographic.

We are living longer, but we are adding to healthcare costs as we live with chronic illnesses. Diabetes, arthritis, cardiovascular disease and obesity now affect more than two-thirds of the U.S. population, or more than 2 billion people worldwide, commented Alex Martin M.D., co-founder of Lifenetics Inc. The severity of these illnesses can be reduced by exercise, nutrition and targeted anti-aging treatments, thereby helping to lower the costs to our over-burdened healthcare system.

Lifenetics Centers will offer the best and latest in wellness programs including: state-of-the-art fitness equipment; flat-screen TV broadcasts of celebrity-conducted workouts; live expert webinars for education and demonstrations; a library of information for self-learning about better lifestyles; a juice bar for socializing and healthy nutrition. The centers will also feature a suite of rooms providing anti-aging procedures conducted by qualified medical staff, such as FDA-approved CLINICell stem cell treatments which use an individuals own stem cells. Fitness programs have been specifically designed by industry experts in senior fitness to address the needs of older adults who require special attention to cardiovascular, joint and other medical considerations as well as the psychological and sociological changes of aging.

The Lifenetics Centers will offer the SheaNetics 90-day Day Breakthrough program which provides consumers with a powerful, holistic mind-body experience in fitness, nutrition and mental/emotional strength. It is the complete answer to feeling, looking and living great says Shea Vaughn, the national fitness and wellness expert and co-founder of Lifenetics Inc. Many of us have the ability to improve our health through the wellness mechanisms in our own bodies. We simply need to learn how to ignite and unlock these mechanisms thats the basis of SheaNetics.

As a first phase, Lifenetics programs will begin in March, 2014 in Los Angeles, California in collaboration with the MetroMD Institute of Regenerative Medicine, a Hollywood anti-aging clinic. The MetroMD facility will integrate its anti-aging treatments with the SheaNetics 90-Day Breakthrough program and other Lifenetics services. Later this year, the MetroMD collaboration will be expanded to the opening of the first complete Lifenetics Center in Los Angeles which will offer a full suite of services through monthly memberships and per-procedure treatment options, some of which are covered by health insurance reimbursements as part of the new approach to preventive healthcare. The Company is now actively seeking similar collaborations with medical clinics and fitness clubs/studios to open additional Lifenetics centers in major metro areas across the United States and internationally.

Science Reveals Master Anti-aging Supplement

U.S. sprinter Tyson Gay was suspended before the World Championships last summer for failing a drug test.

AP

Last July, U.S. sprinter Tyson Gay held the fastest 100-meter time in the world. He appeared primed to give world record holder Usain Bolt a run for the crown at the 2013 world championships in Moscow the following month. But instead of discussing his acceleration phase, Gay struggled through sobs as he told reporters that he'd failed a drug test.

"I don't have a sabotage story," Gay said, after he'd been alerted to his positive test by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). "I don't have any lies. I don't have anything to say to make this seem like it was a mistake or it was on USADA's hands, someone playing games ... I basically put my trust in someone and I was let down."

Since then, the name of that someone, and the substance that triggered Gay's positive test, have remained the subject of speculation among fans and other sprinters, who refer obliquely to "the Tyson situation."

People with knowledge of USADA's ongoing investigation have told ProPublica that the sprinter tested positive for a steroid or steroid precursor believed to have come from a cream given to him by Atlanta chiropractor and anti-aging specialist Clayton Gibson III.

The saga of the nation's top sprinter likely done in by an obscure cream delivered by an anti-aging practitioner provides a view of the slipshod medical underworld of top-level sport, in which athletes risk their reputations in the enduring hunt for any competitive edge.

Time and again, premier athletes have turned to practitioners who employ novel or unproven methods. This can range from remedy peddlers with no credentials whatsoever -- like the former male stripper who was plying NFL and professional golf stars with pseudo-mystical deer antler spray -- to those who have invented and certified their own medical specialty, like the founder of "chiropractic neurology," who was tasked with helping former National Hockey League MVP Sidney Crosby recover from concussions.

This hunt for any performance boost only intensifies as athletes reach their 30s, old age in explosive sports.

Says a former All-Pro NFL lineman who claims he was approached by Gibson, but declined to become his patient: "The culture now is: if you don't have all this extra stuff, you're not winning."

West Palm Beach, FL (PRWEB) February 17, 2014

Many people struggle with their appearance and it brings down self-esteem. Often times, actually going under the knife is an extreme measure to improve appearance, when there are less invasive treatments that can improve problem areas. MD Beauty Labs offers clients treatments that will make them look and feel better, including the recently added treatments; smart liposuction, cool sculpting, and cellulite reduction. Based in West Palm Beach, residents and people from farther distances turn to the services offered by Dr. Daniela Dadurian.

Research from the NPD group suggests that in 2012, 23 percent of women were on a diet*. An even larger amount were unsatisfied with the way their body looked. At MD Beauty Labs, clients turn to the cool sculpting procedure, which uses technology to effectively reduce fat cells in specific areas, in a safe manner. Tissue is drawn into a cup during the procedure with a mild vacuum. Patients report that they are able to return to work and normal activities right away. In just two to four months, a single procedure is known to show measurable fat reduction. The treatment is not invasive. There are no needles, surgery, or downtime, and it provides effective fat loss through an FDA-cleared procedure. For more information about West Palm Beach coolsculpting visit MD Beauty Labs.

Smart liposuction is an ideal procedure for those with love handles, bat wings, muffin tops, saddlebags, or jowls that do not go away even through exercise and dieting. With minimal downtime and pain, Smartlipo tightens skin and prevents sagging. Patients remain awake during the procedure and do not have a long recovery.

80-90% of women reportedly have cellulite, and it tends to cause self-consciousness+. MD Beauty Labs offers several treatments for cellulite reduction, including Cellulaze and Venus Freeze. Cellulaze involves inserting a small laser fiber under the skin to break up the fibrous bands that pull back the skin and thereby form cellulite. It works best for women who are not significantly overweight, and discomfort is minimal. The other option Venus Freeze uses energy through non-invasive aesthetic treatments. The treatment does not damage skin.

Daniela Dadurian, M.D., specializes in anti-aging treatments and laser and cosmetic medicine. She received her medical degree from the University of Miami School of Medicine. According to Dr. Dadurian, We are pleased to offer our clients a unique medical spa experience in West Palm Beach, through a perfect combination of quality medical esthetician skin care and facials, anti-aging medicine, and state of the art laser treatments, fillers and injectables.

New Non-Invasive Weight Loss & Body Contouring Treatments in West Palm Beach

1. Your insecurities have fueled a multibillion-dollar business.

Perhaps the grandparents of yesteryear wiled away their retirements in the proverbial rocking chair, sparing nary a thought for their wrinkles or gray hair. But even if that idyllic portrait is true to life, our obsession with youth isnt anything new. As a nation, we have never embraced aging, says Denise Lewis, a gerontologist at the University of Georgia.

But in the past few decades, the market for anti-aging products and services has grown into a global industry valued at an estimated $261.9 billion in 2013, up from $162 billion just five years ago, according to BCC Research, a publisher of technology market research reports based in Wellesley, Mass. (The number of botulinum toxin treatments alone rose 680% from 2000 to 2012, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.) That figure includes money spent on anti-aging cosmetics, plastic surgery and dermatology, and aspects of traditional medicine, such as anti-aging disease management.

Aging in and of itself is not an illness. But you wouldnt know that from listening to the many marketing messages that make people feel like growing older is somehow their fault, says S. Jay Olshansky, a professor of public health at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Aging is not a disease any more than puberty or menopause are, he says.

Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) February 12, 2014

Top Anti-Aging doctor at Phoenix Integrative Medicine, Dr. Andrea O'Connor, is now offering the PRP Facelift. The treatment, also known as the Vampire Facelift, is highly effective at using the bodys own healing process to generate newer younger skin. For more information and scheduling call (480) 252-3799.

Traditional facelift procedures involve incisions, anesthesia and significant recovery time. With the latest regenerative medicine procedure known as the PRP Facelift, none of these things are necessary. Patients receive the procedure as an outpatient, and no incisions are needed.

For the treatment, blood is taken from the patient just like a blood draw at a lab. The blood is then spun in a centrifuge which creates a layer rich in platelets and growth factors. This concentrate is then used for the facelift procedure, which also attracts stem cells from the body. Some call the treatment a "stem cell facelift" because of this. Because it is the patient's own blood, there is minimal risk with the treatment.

A PRP facelift can help to reduce the presence of scars, wrinkles, and fine lines on the skin to allow for a more natural and more youthful look. The effects of a PRP facelift can last for over six months, and are typically able to be seen in the days immediately following the procedure.

In addition to the PRP facelift (aka Vampire Facelift or Stem Cell Facelift), Phoenix Integrative Medicine also offers Botox, Juvederm, Dysport, bioidentical hormone replacement and much more.

Those interested should call (480) 252-3799 for more information and scheduling.

Hardik Soni, M.D., Medical Director of Ethos Spa Skin and Laser Centers in Summit and Englewood, has collaborated with a licensed pharmaceutical company to offer skin care products individually tailored to your skin.

Ethos Spa Acne/Anti-aging Prep has quickly become the most popular of the Ethos Spa line of skin care formulas developed specifically for the growing number of adults seeking treatment for acne, fine lines and wrinkles.

It starts by nourishing the blood which in turn tonifies the liver and kidneys, which helps to reduce cholesterol levels. It fortifies the tendons, muscles and bones thereby strengthening the lower back and knees. He Shou Wu contains Zinc which holds antioxidant properties and immune system support. He Shou Wu has been known to provide healthy levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), a powerful antioxidant. It also contains Iron which is why He Shou Wu is attributed to have many benefits for the blood and circulation.

He Shou Wu is a Jing (Essence) Tonic Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that all health obstacles are caused by imbalances within our bodies. Problems can occur when an excess amount of moisture, heat, dryness, cold, toxins, phlegm or stagnation build up. This can cause an unbalanced or shortness of vital energies known as the three Treasures: Qi (Vitality), Shen (Spirit) and Jing (Essence). Good health is only achieved when the body is considered to be in perfect balance. He Shou Wu is a Jing Tonic widely known for helping to prevent premature aging. He Shou Wu is an extraordinary herb for the liver and kidneys, and fortifying the ligaments tendons and bones.

He Shou Wu as an Extract There are many companies out there selling He Shou Wu so it is important to know what to look for when buying He Shou Wu. First step is to examine the label and determine what the potency is of the He Shou Wu. A higher extract ratio means a stronger concentration. This is important to determine if the proper dosage is being provided. For example Natures Elements provides a 12:1 extract ratio of the He Shou Wu Root which means it is approximately 12 times stronger than a non extracted powder, similarly if compared to a 4:1 extract it would be 3 times stronger.

He Shou Wu Dosages The concentration is important when determining proper dosages. In order to reap the benefits of He Shou Wu a sufficient dosage needs to be consumed. This is where the benefit of an extract is useful. Natures Elements dosage is 1,000 mg of 12:1 extract of He Shou Wu which is contained in two small easy to swallow tablets. In order to get this dosage from a non extracted powder one would need to consume 3 or more tablets 3 times a day! Most people would find it difficult to keep up with such dosages throughout the day often leading to missed dosages and therefore little or no results. By keeping the dosage concentrated and in only one serving per day it is much easier maintain consistent usage.

Another element to consider when shopping for He Shou Wu is how long each bottle will last. It is easy to determine that with 2 tablets per day, 60 tablets will last for a full 30 day month. As compared to products that seem to be offering more because they contain 100 tablets. However if the serving size is 3 tablets 3 times a day a 100 tablet bottle will not even last for 2 weeks.

He Shou Wu Safety & Precautions Before starting any dietary regiment one should always consult with a qualified health care professional. He Shou Wu is generally considered to be a safe herb, but should not be used by anyone with illness, liver or kidney problems, frequent use of alcohol or taking any medications as well as pregnant or lactating women.
