ScienceDirect - Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics : Is consensus in anti-aging medical intervention an elusive expectation or a realistic goal?
One of the biggest scandals of the recent history of medicine is the conflict of views between the gerontological establishment and the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M). The style used in that discussion was really rough and unusual. On the one hand, according to some representatives of the American Medical Associations (AMA), the use of human growth hormone (hGH) for anti-aging medical interventions is illegal, criminal, and requires persecution. On the other hand, A4M is of the opinion that all this is “…filled with incorrect, misplaced references and studies, and multiple basic scientific errors, in an apparent attempt to damage the anti-aging medical profession…”. It is evident that in the frame of a short article is impossible to treat all the relevant aspects of this complicated story. Nevertheless, this Editorial attempts to point out the main results obtained so far, together with the most important issues of theoretical feasibility of the hGH replacement therapy (hGHRT). The comprehensive explanation of the aging process called “membrane hypothesis of aging” (MHA) offers a solid basis for the interpretation of the observed beneficial effects of the hGH through its practically ubiquitous membrane receptors, and the species specificity of this peptide hormone. The specific activation of these receptors stimulates the membrane transport functions, rehydrates the intracellular colloids, allowing to speed up the protein synthesis and turnover, and activates a great number of cellular functions, all observed so far. The facts known about the adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) syndrome, and the beneficial effects of hGHRT in all aspects of this pathology suggest that aging may generally be considered as an AGHD syndrome. If this concept is accepted by most of the gerontologists, we can resolve practically all problems involved in the above outlined controversies. All this requires an independent, open-minded approach to the problem, and pushes us to a better understanding of the results of theoretical aging research. This approach may open a new, realistic way to the development of efficient anti-aging medical interventions.
Expose on Crimes Against Humanity as Perpetrated by the Gerontological Elite Asks Is Consensus in Anti-Aging Medical Intervention An Elusive Expectation or A Realistic Goal?
Expose on Crimes Against Humanity as Perpetrated by the Gerontological Elite Asks Is Consensus in Anti-Aging Medical Intervention An Elusive Expectation or A Realistic Goal?
In the May-June 2009 issue of the prestigious Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, an international journal integrating experimental, clinical, and social studies on aging published by Elsevier, founder and Editor-in-Chief Prof. Dr. Imre Zs.-Nagy delivers an intrepid Expose revealing a decade-long calculated campaign of deceit, fraud, and suppression by the gerontological elite, which has threatened physician licensures and liberties to treat and prescribe life-improving therapies, leading potentially to the direct compromise of patients’ health and longevity. This profile of the sharp and protracted conflict of views between the gerontological establishment and the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) exposes, as Prof. Dr. Zs.-Nagy describes, a “disregard by certain individuals bearing some of the most prestigious affiliations in the gerontological establishment, for truth, academic integrity, and scientific professionalism.”
Osteoarthritis solutions: Good news on bad knees - USATODAY.com
The recent news that a common knee surgery does nothing for osteoarthritis of the knee might have sounded like bad news to some patients: one less chance at relief from pain and stiffness.
But experts in arthritis care say the results give them a chance to talk about good news: There’s a lot you can do to prevent or treat this increasingly common problem.
“Most people accept osteoarthritis as a part of aging and have this misperception that there’s nothing you can do,” says Patience White, chief public health officer for the Arthritis Foundation and a rheumatologist in Washington, D.C. “There is no quick fix, but there are things you can do.”

Options to Prevent or Treat Osteoporosis in Postmenopausal Women on Yahoo! Health
Before considering drug treatments, however, I must mention two less costly strategies that can help postmenopausal women fend off osteoporosis: exercising regularly and getting at least 1,200 mg of calcium and 800 International units of vitamin D a day.
Few diets provide these amounts of calcium, and especially of vitamin D, so most women need supplements of both. Tums® is the least expensive calcium supplement, but you need to remember that each 500 mg tablet of Tums contains only 200 mg of calcium, and that, for optimum absorption of this calcium, the tablets must be taken with meals.
Selling The Promise Of Youth
The anti-aging industry is offering a dizzying array
of hormones and supplements. Business is booming. But some remedies are
risky, and the benefits are unproven.
As Dr. Ron Rothenberg bursts through the door of his anti-aging institute in Southern California, a cell phone pressed to his ear, his nurse warns him of the busy day ahead. There will be four-hour consultations with each of three prospective patients, she says. They’re all coming to hear the 60-year-old Rothenberg’s pitch about how his tailored regimens of diet, exercise, and hormones will make them feel younger and live longer.

The top ten causes of death in the USA are:
Heart Disease
Cancer
Diabetes
Stroke
Lung disease
Accidental injury
Pneumonia/Flu
Alzheimer’s disease
Nephritis/Nephrosis
Systemic infection.
You probably do not find this list overly valuable to improving your lifestyle; instead, you must look at the following underlying causes of these deaths: smoking, diet/inactivity, alcohol, infections, toxic agents, motor vehicles, firearms, sexually transmitted diseases and illegal drugs
Exercise Perscription for Anti-Aging and Care/Prevention of Age Related Disease, Disability, and Dysfunction!
Exercise is essential to preventing over 60 different diseases, disabilities and dysfunctions, preventing premature aging and death and in maintaining the highest quality of life. Nothing in the doctors little black bag can offer the benefits of regular exercise, but doctors must increase their knowledge, skills and abilities in exercise prescription in order to properly educate their patients on safe and effective exercise.
Exercise - And Cure These Ailments on Yahoo! Health
Let’s be real clear, there are things that we all must do (and not do) to live healthfully. We can prevent and cure so many ailments with one very available (do it anytime), very safe (no negative side effects) and very inexpensive (in fact it’s free) prescription – exercise.
Did you know that exercise has proven to be positively related to the prevention and cure of all of these?
* Cardiovascular Disease
* Depression
* Obesity
* Diabetes
* Osteoporosis
And still you have excuses for not exercising regularly?
Longevity Magazine E-Journal 26 Aug. 2008
A 50-year long study suggests that men and women who are physically active, emotionally calm, and organized may live longer than people with less positive personality traits such as anxiousness, anger, or fearfulness. Antonio Terracciano, from the National Institutes of Aging (Baltimore, Maryland USA), and colleagues assessed personality traits among 2,359 generally healthy people who enrolled in 1958 in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. The team found that men and women who scored above average in measures of general activity, emotional stability, or conscientiousness lived an average of 2 to 3 years longer than those who scored below average. Conclude the researchers: “Enduring cognitive, emotional, and behavioral tendencies have significant influence on health and longevity.”
