Anti-Aging Medicine
Both Anti-Aging medicine and current medical practice are attempting to increase life span and improve the quality of human life. Anti-Aging medicine tends to be more proactive and utilizes cutting edge approaches
As we age multiple hormone abnormalities develop and can be diagnosed clinically and through extensive lab work (evidence-based medicine). These abnormalities can cause weakness, fatigue, loss of libido, and decreased ambition and productivity. Growth hormone deficiencies are diagnosed through blood work. If there is a true deficiency, various natural supplements are prescribed (without injections) and subsequent clinical and lab reassessment is done.
Specific emphasis is placed on male and female menopause. Inwomen.natural therapeutics andbio-identical hormonesare used to increase the good estrogen and decrease the potentially carcinogenic (cancer-causing) bad estrogens. Inmen, clinical deficiencies in testosterone or its precursors or situations in which testosterone deficiencies arise from age-related conversion of testosterone to estrogen are treated with natural therapeutics. Only when all natural attempts to correct laboratory abnormalities have not obtained optimal results will other therapies will be utilized, eg. injections, gels, creams, etc.
Hormonal Causes of Aging Science has now documented that several important anabolic (body building type) hormones decrease in a predictable fashion,.
Bioidentical Hormonereplacement therapy (synthetic or nonsynthetic hormones that are identical in chemical structure to hormones produced naturally.) has many advantages such as:

Source: estrogen was derived from the urine of pregnant horses and included unnecessary forms of estrogen found only in horses. The progesterone utilized was a synthetic compound.

Anti-Aging Medicine
Tired of waiting for a magic potion that will make you look and feel 20 years younger? Hang on. Scientists have discovered what causes the body to age and are busy working on ways to reverse the aging process. Dr. Olivier Meyer, who is a medical doctor, a native of Switzerland and a resident of Thailand, spoke at the Sunday, January 5 meeting of the Pattaya City Expats Club. His topic was about Anti-Aging Medicine. He said that the goal of anti-aging medicine is not just adding time to life, but also giving better life to time.
Some people at 90 years of age are fit and have no or few chronic diseases, whereas for others getting old is a challenge, Dr Olivier stated. He said that when he went to medical school, we did not know what causes aging. However, some ground breaking research at Harvard Medical School in the first decade of this century changed that. Scientists discovered that the chromosomes in the cells in our body are capped at both ends by something called telomeres, and that it is the shortening of these telomeres over time that leads to aging.
Dr Olivier Meyer, Swiss doctor practising in Pattaya mainly to expats, was PCECs speaker for the 5th of January. Dr Oliviers talk was about Anti-Aging Medicine, the goal of anti-aging medicine being not just adding time to life, but also giving better life to time.
The scientists also discovered a natural enzyme in cells called telomerase that can prevent telomeres from shortening, except that that the telomerase is repressed by a protein in the cells. Researchers are using a process called telomerase activation to rejuvenate organs in animal experiments. There is a good chance that in the future telomerase activations will be used in humans to slow the aging process.
Not unsurprisingly, there were many questions from the members of PCEC about the methods and benefits of anti ageing regimes.
In the meantime, Dr Olivier said, we already have strategies to combat the effects of aging. He described a three-step process: Step 1: Healthy lifestyles; Step 2: Medical interventions; and Step 3: Use of stem cells.
With respect to health lifestyles, Dr Olivier described several steps we can take, including practice good nutrition, take anti-oxidants, dont smoke, drink alcohol moderately or not at all, get regular exercise, keep your weight under control, and be sure to get good quality and enough sleep.
The second step involves medical interventions, such as keeping chronic diseases under control; having regular check-ups (at least once a year for people over 50); visiting the dentist regularly; taking multivitamins; taking a low daily dose of aspirin to keep the blood thin; and achieving good hormonal balance. He then described the different hormones and their purpose.
Dr Olivier referred to andropause, the male equivalent of menopause. He said that as men age, the decrease in testosterone is more gradual than what occurs in women. Half of the men aged 50-70 will have low testosterone levels. Common symptoms of andropause are lack of energy, depression, diminution of memory; loss of strength; increased body fat; irritability, mood swings, bad sleep; low sex drive; and difficulties getting erections or erections not as strong as usual.
The third step involves the use of stem cells. These cells are able to differentiate into more specialised cells and are one of the bodys fundamental tools and mechanisms for self-repair, Dr Olivier explained. Stem cells improve the immune function and regenerate and repair damaged organs. As we age, however, the bone marrow releases fewer stem cells, giving us less power to repair the damage of ageing. Treatment with stem cells reverses this process.

Can you reverse the aging process?
Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) January 13, 2014
The DaSilva Institute opened their brand new state-of-the-art medical facility in Sarasota, Florida on December 16, 2013.
The DaSilva Institute combines functional medicine with anti-aging and regenerative medicine, making it the most unique multi-specialty medical center of its kind in the U.S.
One major advantage that the DaSilva Institute has over similar centers found elsewhere in the US and overseas is its focus on autologous stem cell therapy. Used to reverse degenerative diseases and injuries, this innovative therapy involves harvesting stem cells from the patients own body fat without the controversial use of embryos, umbilical cords, placentas or donors, thus eliminating the risk of viruses and rejection.
The DaSilva Institute is also known for their expertise in bio-identical hormone replacement therapies, functional gastrointestinal disorders, mood disorders, nutritional counseling, IV nutrition and chelation, natural cancer support, regenerative orthopedics, platelet rich plasma (PRP), prolotherapy, and several new aesthetic treatments including facial rejuvenation, natural breast and buttocks augmentation and gentle liposculpture.
Guy DaSilva, MD, founder and medical director of the DaSilva Institute, states, Our vision is to make this extraordinary form of medicine accessible and affordable for people in the U.S. You shouldnt have to fly to other countries and spend tens of thousands of dollars for what you can receive in your own backyard for much less.
After outgrowing their previous office in the Lakewood Ranch area, the decision to move into a larger, more optimally equipped facility led them to the heart of Sarasota.
Dr. DaSilva states, My hope is that people will benefit from our extended menu of services and enjoy the beautiful and comforting ambiance of our new office, as well as the convenience of the new Sarasota location. And above all, we want to help more people discover health without limits.

DaSilva Institute Brings World-Class Medicine to Sarasota, Florida
According to Mintels consumer research, the anti-aging skincare market has grown to over $2 billion annually, and 76 percent of consumers concerned with aging are interested in products that use natural or organic ingredients. What can be more natural and organic than the foods that you eat?
Can your diet play a role in anti-aging? Just ask Maye Musk, a 65-year old model and registered dietitian. While Musk admits that genetics, getting adequate sleep, avoiding smoking, and limiting sun exposure, can all play a role in how your body ages, diet is key as you have to eat well to look and feel young. She eats a healthy, high fiber diet to maintain her weight and youthful looks.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, a well-balanced diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins can lead to healthier skin. Elisa Zied, RD, author of the new book, Younger Next Week, agrees about the power of a healthy diet. For example, fruits and veggies not only keep us hydrated because of their high water content, but they can also help us look younger and better, writes Zied. Certain phytochemicals and nutrients in foods may also play a specific anti-aging role in helping your skin look more youthful. Research suggests that eating more carotenoid-rich produce is associated with improved skin color and a more healthy and attractive appearance, according to Zied.
As we age our skin becomes thinner and drier, losing some of the elasticity that we had in our youth, which paves the way to wrinkles, according to researcher, Richard L. Roberts, Ph.D. These changes are accelerated by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun as well as tanning beds. While the skin has a natural antioxidant capacity to protect against damage caused by those UV rays, too much exposure can overwhelm its capabilities leaving the skin vulnerable to damage. According to an article authored by Roberts and published in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, lutein and zeaxanthin are two carotenoids that may help boost the antioxidant capacity of your skin as well as the health of your eyes. Look to egg yolks, corn, orange peppers, orange juice, and red grapes for excellent sources of both of these antioxidants.
Drinking tea also has its perks when it comes to looking and feeling younger, according to Zied. Many of the benefits of tea are linked with its high content of polyphenols (specifically flavonoids), powerful plant chemicals that act as antioxidants that also can protect against UV skin damage.
Vitamin E is another important antioxidant in the skin that helps avoid accelerated aging. According to an article published in Clinics in Dermatology, adequate stores need to be maintained in the body daily. Unfortunately, many Americans fall short of their daily needs of this vitamin so adding vitamin E-rich foods sources, such as wheat germ, sunflower seeds, almonds, and corn and olive oil, can help boost your intake. Since this antioxidant works synergistically with vitamin C in the body, your diet should also have a wide variety of vitamin C-rich foods, such as citrus fruits, kiwi, strawberries, peppers and broccoli. Research also suggests that vitamin C, in and of itself, may also help reduce the prevalence of wrinkles and dry skin due to aging. Lastly, vitamin A, which is found in carotenoid-rich dark green veggies, such as spinach and kale, and orange vegetables, such as carrots, sweet potatoes and pumpkin, is also needed for healthy skin.
Sometimes life will get in the way of making the best food choices, but if we prioritize nurturing ourselves and make time to care for ourselves, we can reclaim the vitality we so deserve, states Zied.
Be well, Joan

Toxic, flammable, corrosive, keep out of childrens reach are the warnings listed on a bottle of Clorox. But a recent study by researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine suggested the common household cleaning bleach could have anti-aging benefits, following preliminary tests they conducted on mice.
Reports of women having bleach facials are popping up on social media. Some spas offer them with such natural ingredients as honey, lime and lemon juice and cream.
Stanford University School of Medicine said in a statement about the study that if the bleach were found to work similarly in humans, the inexpensive, widely available household chemical could provide a new way to treat skin damage caused by radiation therapy, excess sun exposure or aging.
Watch: Celebs Flock to Facials Made of Ground-Up Jewels
I wouldnt recommend trying the bleach facial at home. We are not chemists, and we cannot produce the exact dilution rate the Stanford scientists used, Dr. Daniel Shapiro, a Scottsdale, Ariz., plastic surgeon, told ABCNews.com.
I think its really difficult to figure out what .005 percent is. Any higher concentration of bleach can burn your skin, he said.
According to the study, published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, a team of researchers led by Dr. Thomas Leung tested the effect of daily, 30-minute baths in the diluted bleach solution on laboratory mice with radiation dermatitis, a skin condition caused by chemo or radio therapy.They found that the animals bathed in the bleach solution experienced less severe skin damage and better healing and hair regrowth than animals bathed in water, said the university statement.
Originally it was thought that bleach may serve an antimicrobial function, killing bacteria and viruses on the skin, said Leung, in a statement.

As if cancer, heart disease and other diseases were not enough motivation to make quitting smoking your New Year's resolution, here's another wake-up call: New research published in the January 2014 issue of The FASEB Journal suggests that smoking disrupts the circadian clock function in both the lungs and the brain. Translation: Smoking ruins productive sleep, leading to cognitive dysfunction, mood disorders, depression and anxiety.
"This study has found a common pathway whereby cigarette smoke impacts both pulmonary and neurophysiological function. Further, the results suggest the possible therapeutic value of targeting this pathway with compounds that could improve both lung and brain functions in smokers," said Irfan Rahman, Ph.D., a researcher involved in the work from the Department of Environmental Medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, N.Y. "We envisage that our findings will be the basis for future developments in the treatment of those patients who are suffering with tobacco smoke-mediated injuries and diseases.
Rahman and colleagues found that tobacco smoke affects clock gene expression rhythms in the lung by producing parallel inflammation and depressed levels of brain locomotor activity. Short- and long- term smoking decreased a molecule known as SIRTUIN1 (SIRT1, an anti-aging molecule) and this reduction altered the level of the clock protein (BMAL1) in both lung and brain tissues in mice. A similar reduction was seen in lung tissue from human smokers and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). They made this discovery using two groups of mice which were placed in smoking chambers for short-term and long-term tobacco inhalation. One of the groups was exposed to clean air only and the other was exposed to different numbers of cigarettes during the day. Researchers monitored their daily activity patterns and found that these mice were considerably less active following smoke exposure.
Scientists then used mice deficient in SIRT1 and found that tobacco smoke caused a dramatic decline in activity but this effect was attenuated in mice that over expressed this protein or were treated with a small pharmacological activator of the anti-aging protein. Further results suggest that the clock protein, BMAL1, was regulated by SIRT1, and the decrease in SIRT1 damaged BMAL1, resulting in a disturbance in the sleep cycle/molecular clock in mice and human smokers. However, this defect was restored by a small molecule activator of SIRT1.
"If you only stick to one New Year's resolution this year, make it quitting smoking," said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-Chief of The FASEB Journal. "Only Santa Claus has a list longer than that of the ailments caused or worsened by smoking. If you like having a good night's sleep, then that's just another reason to never smoke."

As I deplaned and crossed customs in Winnipeg at about 1 a.m. a few days ago, the blustery snow reminded me I was officially home after attending the World Congress on Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine in Las Vegas.
It's a fascinating field. I'm continually amazed by the advances in modern medicine. This year, the congress showcased high-profile presenters and even celebrities such as Suzanne Somers, Dr. Travis Stork and Arnold Schwarzenegger, all speaking on methods to enhance our health.
Stress -- which is in big supply this time of year -- affects our wellness. The flight attendant on my flight home illustrated this when she told me about her joy when someone thanked her for her service, amid the usual bustle of aggravated travellers with deadlines at work, before returning to their deadlines at home.
Health is more than the absence of disease -- a fact I hope all clinicians will remember. Ultimately, it's about people.
As a pharmacist and integrative medicine clinician for eight years, I've been fortunate to see first-hand the health hurdles people have overcome, with a focus on what I call "treating the person, not just the disease."
I've seen many people struggle to find their way in a system that is seemingly clouded with a flurry that freezes progress in attaining lasting health.
What I witnessed in the Winnipeg airport this week not only eased the deep-freeze, but melted hearts as well.

Anti-aging medicine is the pinnacle of biotechnology joined with advanced clinical preventive medicine. The specialty is founded on the application of advanced scientific and medical technologies for the early detection, prevention, treatment, and reversal of age-related dysfunction, disorders, and 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. The anti-aging medical model aims to both extend lifespan as well as prolong healthspan the length of time that we are able to live productively and independently.
Anti-aging medicine is the following:
Hundreds of scientific research studies clearly prove that modest interventions in diet, exercise, nutrition and single-gene modulation in the laboratory setting beneficially and significantly impact healthy function in old-age. Many of these interventions also modify maximum lifespan by 20 to 800% as well. With over the near-daily advancements in biomedical technologies related to research specifically focused on elucidating treatments for aging-related disorders and modulating the metabolic dysfunctions associated with old age, in the imminent near-future, effective interventions will become widely available to modulate the aging process itself in humans.
Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health have found that the anti-aging lifestyle can add 24.6 more years of productive lifespan. The research team found that the longest-living Americans are Asian-American women residing in Bergen County, New Jersey USA. They live longer than any other ethnic group in the United States to an average lifespan of 91.1 years. In contrast, the Harvard team found that the shortest-living Americans are Native American populations in South Dakota, despite receiving free or low-cost government provided medical care living an average lifespan of 66.5 years. A distinguishing characteristic of the Bergen County womens longevity is that they are availing themselves of the armament of state-of-the-art biomedical technologies in advanced preventive care, including preventive screenings, early disease detection, aggressive intervention, and optimal nutrition all of which are cornerstones of the anti-aging medical model.

A first-ever study reveals the secrets of exceptional health in old age. Mark Kaplan, from Portland State University (Oregon, USA), and colleagues utilized the Health Utilities Index Mark 3 (HUI3), a multidimensional measure of health status, to examine the maintenance of exceptionally good health among 2,432 elder Canadians enrolled in the Canadian National Population Health Survey, which tracked participants health for a ten-year period, 1994 to 2004. The researchers found that the most important predictors of excellent health over the entire decade were:
The team comments that: Many of these factors can be modified when you are young or middle-aged. While these findings may seem like common sense, now we have evidence of which factors contribute to exceptional health [as we age]. [Kaplan MS, Huguet N, Orpana H, Feeny D, McFarland BH, Ross N. Prevalence and factors associated with thriving in older adulthood: a 10-year population-based study. J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci. 2008 Oct;63(10):1097-104.]
Around the world, people are seeking medical guidance for ways to stay healthy, active, and vital well into their older years. As a result, the principles of the anti-aging lifestyle are gaining rapid and widespread acceptance as a framework for lifelong habits for healthy living.

This weekend, Source Point Training (http://www.SourcePointTraining.com) is presenting a certification course on coaching tools and techniques for medical professionals from around the world pursuing their certification as Lifestyle Health Coaches. While everyone has their opinions on the impact "Obama-care" will have on our nation, everyone agrees that the state of healthcare and the many health challenges we as a nation are facing, are together spiraling downward. Yet, within the many components of the new health care plan, there is one that the coaching community knows can create sustainable positive impact on living healthy lifestyles.
With clear data now available, the medical community is in the early stages of embracing coaching patients on the benefits available to improve health versus the threat of health consequences for patients not following their doctor's recommendations. And the Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine is leading the way with offering the only academically accredited Lifestyle Health Coach certification currently available as part of their Annual World Congress on Anti-Aging, Regenerative and Aesthetic Medicine this weekend.
In a Forbes article focusing on employer sponsored wellness programs, they refer to having employees working with health coaches as "the secret sauce" for creating sustainable lifestyle changes. In their study of four mid-sized organizations with health-contingent wellness programs, they found that the annual paid claims per participating employee dropped to $2,269 as compared to the annual paid claims per non-participating employee of $6,187.
"Until we are able to better manage our health, the cost of healthcare will simply continue to rise. A key factor in better management of our health is a new paradigm in the doctor patient relationship. Patients need to take more responsibility for their lifestyles and the impact it has on their health. Having their medical professional working with them in a true partnership and with the support of various medical resources including a Lifestyle Health Coach, is key," says Barbara Fagan, President of Source Point Training. "I look forward to spending 3 full days with various medical professionals and introducing them to the key distinctions of coaching and the impact they can make in supporting their patients in taking greater ownership for their health."
Barbara Fagan has been training coaches for over 12 years, many of which have become independent health and wellness coaches. "As coaches, we know and see on a regular basis the sustainable impact that can be attained when a client is enrolled into a high level of ownership and accountability for the results they are creating in their life - including their lifestyle," Fagan continues. "Now having coverage for individuals to work with a health coach, there is more than hope; actually an expectation that the downward spiral will slowly begin to turn upward as more medical professionals and their patients partner together in ownership of improving and maximizing health."
In recent years, Source Point Training has seen a rise in the number of wellness professionals attending their Fundamentals and Mastery of Performance Coaching training to enhance the work they do with their wellness clients. "Whether you are a health conscious person and work to always maximize your health or you are someone with a chronic health condition, working with a Lifestyle Health Coach will provide individuals with greater results now and in the future," shares Fagan.
