MetroMD The HGH Clinic Announces A Better Process of Reducing Aging

Posted: at 5:44 am

(PRWEB) October 10, 2014

MetroMD, a leading anti-aging clinic of Los Angeles, is making waves in Los Angeles with its flagship anti-aging treatments like PRP and HGH therapy. Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP Therapy and Human Growth Hormone or HGH Therapy is the two anti-aging treatment concepts introduced by MetroMD which have taken the wellness world by storm.Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP Therapy and Human Growth Hormone or HGH Therapy is the two anti-aging treatment concepts introduced by MetroMD which have taken the wellness world by storm.

Human growth hormone is a protein based peptide hormone secreted naturally in humans by the pituitary gland and is responsible for growth in children and adolescents. In adults, the growth hormones or HGH is responsible for cell reproduction, tissue regeneration and immune system functioning. It is also responsible for vitality, energy, metabolism and sexual performance in adults. After the age of 30, human HGH levels show a steady decline and after age of 40 the decline rate becomes rapid. This leads to feeling fatigued, low in energy levels, a loss in sexual libido and a weakened cardio-vascular system.

An HGH specialist at MetroMD elaborated Permanent fatigue, weight gain, loss of lean muscle mass and lowered sexual performance as well as sexual arousals are all classic symptoms of aging and it simply means the body has started its shut-down mechanism. With research it has been found that the condition is caused because of growth hormone deficiencies in body. So the cure has to be one which returns the hormone levels to the youthful levels. One way is to stimulate pituitary gland to secrete optimum HGH again and the other treatment method is to artificially inject bio-synthetic HGH in the body to remove the deficiency. This second treatment method is what the clinic provides and it is known as the Human Growth Hormone Therapy or in short, HGH Therapy.

Growth hormone therapy has proven immensely beneficial to those who have undergone the treatment. Children, who had stunted growth, gained a near normal growth and adults who have undergone HGH Therapy have shown remarkable improvement in their body composition, physical strength and sexual performance. A 50+ male undergoing HGH replacement treatment for the last five months was exuberant in its praise I felt energized from the day one. I no more feel that persisting fatigue and body pain and my libido shoots through the roof. Erectile deficiency was a thing of the past and I my abdominal fat just seems to melt away. I clearly gained lean muscle mass and my friends say I look 10 years younger now. I was skeptical earlier and thought I was trashing my money. But now I am a believer.

In aging women, human HGH replacement counters weight-gain problem which affects a lot of women in their middle age. Like men, they too experience a dip in libido levels by age 35-40 which is returned to normal levels with treatment. Facial wrinkles are replaced with a firm youthful skin. Hair quality too improves and in many cases, the treatment causes reverse of graying and hair loss. In both men and women, this therapy causes strengthening of the immune system which translates into improved life expectancy.

MetroMD has been a pioneer in human growth hormone treatment in Los Angeles and has treated hundreds of highly satisfied HGH deficiency patients so far. The clinics clientele include big names from Hollywood, American Music Industry, Sports, Authors, Socialites, Professionals, Business World and other walks of life. Medical Director of MetroMD, Dr Alex Martin has been involved in growth hormone treatment and anti-aging regenerative medicine research since 70s and in mid 90s. He launched his anti-aging clinic in Newport Beach California. He was among the first to initiate Growth hormone treatment for children who had a stunted growth due to growth hormone deficiency. Like Dr Alex Martin, MetroMDs Managing Director Devin Stone is also an expert in anti-aging treatment, stem cell research and regenerative medicine. MetroMDs key treatments include Stem Cell Therapy, PRP therapy, Laser Treatments, Smartlipo and HGH Therapy. All these treatments are associated with concepts of longevity, giving its patients a chance to live a highly active and healthy middle age and old age filled with fun and vigor of youth.

Tuesday Q and A: Treatments and self-care can help ease eczema discomfort

Tuesday Q and A: Treatments and self-care can help ease eczema discomfort

DEAR MAYO CLINIC: My 10-year-old daughter has very dry skin, and it seems to get worse when school starts. She develops red, itchy patches on her arms and lower legs. They usually fade away after a while, but they really bother her. What could be the cause? Should we be using lotion on these areas, or something stronger? At what point should she be seen by a dermatologist?

ANSWER: From your description, it sounds like your daughter may have a skin condition called eczema. In children, it often flares up when they go back to school in the fall. To find out if it is eczema, make an appointment with her primary care provider or a dermatologist to have her symptoms evaluated. A number of treatments and self-care steps can help ease the discomfort.

Eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, is common in children. Symptoms typically include dry, scaly skin with red patches that may weep. In many cases, the itching caused by eczema can be severe. Eczema symptoms tend to come and go.

Many children who have eczema see their symptoms get worse in the fall. That may happen for a couple of reasons. First, the dry indoor air of most schools can cause skin to become very dry, especially when weather gets cooler and the heat comes on. Second, stress often can lead to eczema flares. When kids go back to school, they may feel more stress and anxiety than they did during the summer, and that may cause a spike in their symptoms.

A primary care provider or a dermatologist should be able to tell if your daughters condition is eczema simply by examining her skin. In most cases, lab tests and skin tests are not needed. A number of over-the-counter and prescription medications are available that can relieve the itching and repair skin damage. Ask the doctor which ones are right for your daughter.

Encourage your daughter to use the following sensitive-skincare steps, too. Soak in a warm bath or shower every day for about 15 minutes. When you get out, gently pat dry with a soft towel. Do not rub your skin. After you have dried off, apply any recommended medication and then cover it with a skin moisturizer. Use only shampoo, soap, moisturizer and other skin products that are hypoallergenic. They should not contain any dyes or perfumes.

Wear layers of clothing. Then if you get too warm, you can take off a layer and not become overheated. Sweating can make eczema symptoms worse, especially if sweat is left to dry on the skin. Avoid wearing tight, rough clothing or fabrics that irritate your skin.

Try not to scratch your skin. Scratching can increase your symptoms and may lead to an infection. If the itching becomes hard to bear, cover the area with cool, wet compresses. Taking a warm bath with baking soda or uncooked oatmeal in the water can ease itching, too.

Gene Therapy Shows Potential for 'Bubble Boy' Disease

Posted: at 5:43 am

By Amy Norton HealthDay Reporter

WEDNESDAY, Oct. 8, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- A new form of gene therapy may offer a safe and effective way to treat "bubble boy" disease -- a severe immune deficiency that is fatal unless treated in infancy.

Researchers have long known that gene therapy can cure the disease, known medically as severe combined immunodeficiency, or SCID. Over a decade ago, trials in Europe showed that gene therapy worked -- but five of the 20 children treated developed leukemia (a type of cancer) within two to five years, according to background information in the study.

In the new trial, reported in the Oct. 9 New England Journal of Medicine, researchers refined the gene therapy approach to hopefully negate the leukemia risk.

Eight of nine children who received the therapy are still alive one to three years later, the investigators report. And so far, none has developed leukemia.

It's too early to say the therapy carries no leukemia risk, cautioned researcher Dr. David Williams, a pediatric hematologist/oncologist at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Boston Children's Hospital.

"We'll continue to follow these children for 15 years," Williams said.

But based on the early results, he noted, the tweaked gene therapy appears as effective at generating a functional immune system as the earlier form of treatment.

SCID refers to a group of rare genetic disorders that all but eliminate the immune system, according to the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF). That leaves children at high risk of severe infections.

In the United States, 40 to 100 babies are born with SCID each year, according to the National Institutes of Health. Early detection is becoming more common because a screening test recently became available. So far, 24 states and the District of Columbia have adopted the test, according to the IDF.

Gene-Therapy Trial Shows Promise Fighting Bubble Boy Syndrome

Posted: at 5:43 am

TIME Health Genetics Gene-Therapy Trial Shows Promise Fighting Bubble Boy Syndrome The immune system-related disease affects about 1 in 100,000 babies each year

A new gene-therapy treatment is showing promise in treating a rare and severe congenital condition that involves extreme immune-system deficiencies.

Bubble boy syndrome, an X-linked condition, takes its name from a famous case in which an affected boy, vulnerable to infection, lived inside a plastic bubble that protected him from the worlds germs. Outside of such sterile environments, babies with the syndrome seldom live longer than a year, the Wall Street Journal reports.

The condition has for decades bested medical researchers, despite occasional bouts of optimism hope for one previous gene-therapy treatment was felled when some recipients developed leukemia.

Gene-therapy treatment works, essentially, by replacing unperforming genes with functional ones. Dysfunctional cells are removed from the childs immune system and exposed to a genetically engineered virus that can reprogram the cells to function properly, explains Reuters. Those cells are then reinserted back into the patient.

In the earlier treatment, the virus to which the cells were exposed apparently activated a part of their genetic code that leads to leukemia, Reuters says.

But initial results reported in the New England Journal of Medicine show that none of the nine babies from the U.S. and Europe who received the latest treatment are exhibiting any signs of cancer.

Of the nine infant participants in the research who were between 4 and 10 months old when they began receiving the therapy eight were still alive 16 to 43 months later, without living in a protective bubble. (The ninth child died four months after treatment began from an earlier infection he had been fighting.)

Out of the eight boys still living, the treatment upped blood T-cell levels, rebuilding the immune system, of seven. In the case of the eighth child, the treatment did not rebuild his immune system, but a successful stem-cell transplant has kept him in improved health, Reuters reports.
