Anti-Aging – It Makes Perfect SenseDr. Marcy L. Street, M.D.
While there is no way to permanently stop aging - you’re always going to grow older - there are many things we can do to slow it down to look, and feel, our best. And, with all the knowledge about healthy lifestyle choices, nutrition, vitamin supplements and natural bio identical hormone replacement, the time for anti-aging medicine is now.So, the question then becomes: what are you waiting for? The sooner healthy lifestyle choices are made in life, the better. It’s that simple. Consider the following:
Physical activity (about 30 minutes daily), found to be the single greatest protector against death, lowering risk by 37 percent.
Refraining from smoking, cutting the risk by 35 percent.
Following a diet high in fruit, vegetables, and fish, and low in red meat and dairy products (“Mediterranean diet”), reducing risk by 23 percent.
Moderate alcohol consumption (about 4 glasses of wine or equivalent per week), lowering risk of death by 22 percent.A study conducted by researchers found that when older persons (50+) adopted all four measures above, their risk of dying was 65 percent lower over the span of 10 years. That’s very significant. That’s very significant, especially for those of us in the anti-aging medicine field. It’s proof that there is a way to slow down aging and prolong a healthy lifestyle.The Harvard School of Public Health agrees. Experts there declared “there is now enough evidence for the relevant health agencies around the world to act upon.”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.You see, with age, scientists have observed a variety of declining performance in the body’s leading body systems. These changes, although they may have until now, been considered “natural,” no longer need to be considered inevitable.Those individuals interested in learning more about anti-aging medicine, as well as healthy lifestyle choices, should consult with their dermatologist.

Hi Fans,
look what I found for you down below there, hope and more hope for we who "may" be over the hill...don't ever give up...
Step right up and get a new look and it's only skin deep on most of us...
Cosmeceuticals is what it is and there is a dollar in it!!!
Hang in there fans, there will be another season for us "Hope springs eternal"
One more spring training, just one more...goodnight fans, watch the Mets win the big game tonight over the cardinals...bet?
The Fountain of Youth' – Not Quite but 'Cosmeceuticals' are Giving People Real Hope
NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Clayton, New Mexico, United States, 10/16/2006 - Products which promote youthful-looking skin have surged in popularity. Not so surprising either - with the front-end of the baby boomers entering their 60’s and not having a mental attitude that will settle for second-best or good-enough.
This is not a generation that readily accepts getting old as a legitimate option.The process of restoring one’s skin to that of a teenager has long been sought. Ever since it was immortalized in the tale of Shangri-la, a magical land where people never aged, people have been willing to try all sorts of remedies to slow the aging process. This fountain of youth mentality is the essence of all the current media-hype over skincare products. And it has resulted in a multi-billion dollar cosmetic industry.With medicine and technology being what it is today, seeking that magic “youth in a bottle” isn’t pure fantasy. The hype that surrounds this topic has started to give way to real science, and the rise of “cosmeceuticals” has given people real hope of slowing the aging of their skin.Cosmetics are products, which merely hide, or create an illusion of beauty by accenting certain features like high cheekbones, lips or eyes, while de-emphasizing other features such as uneven skin texture, lines or rhytids.“Cosmeceuticals”, on the other hand, are products, which actually effect a change in the skin – helping the skin to become healthier and thicker. The process of aging causes a gradual loss and disorganization of elastin and collagen fibers, the supportive matrix of the skin, as well as dehydration. The result is lack of “bounce” or rebound to the skin matrix. The physical appearance is of droopy, thin, wrinkled skin.As an affiliate of GreatSkin.com, you have the ability to refer a whole range of anti-aging products which go right to the heart of the problem, and address the symptoms of droopy, thin, and wrinkled skin.Products containing DMAE and Alpha Lipoic Acid like the “GreatSkin All in One Serum and Cream” are particularly effective for Anti-Aging. Other products basic to an anti-aging skin care regime are: “GreatSkin Red Tea Extract”, “GreatSkin Peptide Lotion”, “GreatSkin Super Firming Crème”, “GreatSkin Retinol 10X Serum”, and “GreatSkin Retinol Eye Serum."For affiliate marketers who are interested in really helping their customers achieve a more youthful look, these products go a long way towards Shangri-la.

Anti-aging clinics arrive in San Luis Obispo
By Sarah Arnquist
sarnquist@thetribunenews.com
Tribune photo by David Middlecamp
Dr. Phillip Borgardt gives Nora Reynoso a mesotherapy facial treatment at his SLO Aging Institute. The treatment injects vitamins into the skin of the patient.
More information about two local doctors practicing anti-aging medicine
Spurred by the popularity of anti-aging clinics in larger cities, two physicians have opened such practices in San Luis Obispo, offering therapies they say reverse the effects of aging and keep people feeling younger, longer.
With 81,000 residents between 45 and 75 — one-third of the population — San Luis Obispo County is fertile ground for anti- aging centers, which usually target wealthier clients.
Dr. Peter Muran moved his Longevity Healthcare Center from Orange County to San Luis Obispo in 2005. Dr. Philip Borgardt closed his internal medicine practice earlier this year and opened the SLO Aging Institute in August. Neither doctor accepts health insurance.
Anti-aging medicine combines diet, exercise, supplements, hormone replacement therapy and cosmetic procedures in attempts to keep people feeling young. While some of these services can be found through other doctors, Muran and Borgardt say their integrated approaches, plus hormone therapy that many doctors don’t provide, can turn back the clock.
"We’ve almost doubled the life expectancy in the last 100 years, and now the question is about quality of life," Borgardt said.
Booming business
The American Medical Association has not taken a position on anti-aging medicine, but critics are surfacing nearly as fast as the practice is growing. The critics warn that no products or therapies have proved to slow or reverse aging and some may be harmful.
In 2002, 51 scientists published a paper in Scientific American magazine denouncing anti-aging medicine’s claims to turn back the clock.
"Our language on this matter must be unambiguous," the scientists wrote. "There are no lifestyle changes, surgical procedures, vitamins, antioxidants, hormones or techniques of genetic engineering available today that have been demonstrated to influence the processes of aging."
The warnings, though, are not stopping Americans from spending their money.
Last year, Americans spent $44.6 billion on anti-aging products, including plastic surgery, cosmetic procedures such as Botox injections and "cosmeceuticals" such as creams with touted anti-aging benefits, according to Business Communications Co. The market research firm expects the market to increase to $72 billion by 2009 as many of the nation’s 78 million baby boomers resist old age.
Anti-aging practitioners are capitalizing on a growing segment of older Americans with disposable income, said Freddi Segal-Gidan, a board member of the California Geriatrics Society and a professor at the University of Southern California’s School of Gerontology.
"In (today’s) society we don’t really respect and revere aging the way other generations have, and I view this as buying into that," Segal-
Gidan said.
Controversial hormone therapy
Besides philosophical differences, some geriatric specialists warn that anti-aging products are poorly regulated and that therapies, especially prescribing human growth hormone, may be harmful.
Anti-aging practitioners defend their use of human growth hormone by pointing to research that shows it builds muscle, thickens skin and reverses signs of aging in older people.
"It is possible to roll back 10 to 15 years in the way someone feels," Borgardt said.
But research also shows that human growth hormone has potentially harmful side effects, and many doctors caution against using it.
Borgardt acknowledges the controversy. He said he prescribes human growth hormone only for patients with proven deficiencies.
Muran and Borgardt are board diplomats of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, a Chicago-based nonprofit with 11,500 members that promotes anti-aging medicine.
The California Medical Board, the state’s physician regulatory agency, does not recognize board certification for anti-aging medicine like it does for other specialties such as geriatrics or endocrinology.
People cannot expect a magic pill to make them live longer or solve their health woes, Borgardt and Muran said. Exercise, diet and other lifestyle choices, such as smoking and drinking, are the greatest determinants of good health and longevity, but many people need hormone replacement therapy to maximize their health, they said.
Not all their patients are older, either. Borgardt said his youngest patient receiving anti-aging remedies is 38. And they are willing to pay for the services he provides.
Nora Reynoso, 44, paid $1,200 for three mesotherapy facial treatments at Borgardt’s office. Mesotherapy injects vitamins and antioxidants into the face to tighten it.
After the 45-minute treatment she received during her lunch break, Reynoso patted her cheeks and said she could feel the difference in firmness. She and her friends are willing to pay to look and feel young, she said.
"I think it’s important to stay young looking," Reynoso said.
Based on his patient satisfaction, Borgardt predicts that in five years anti-aging medicine will be considered mainstream. Muran agreed.
"People are going to demand that extra youth or longevity in their life," Muran said.
God Bless all of you.

Thomas Perls 'Takes Five'
6 ways to go the distance to centenarian
Posted: Oct. 3, 2006
Thomas Perls is an expert on aging, specifically on the lives and times of those who are 100 and older. There are some 50,000 centenarians in America, and more are on the way as baby boomers move closer to retirement. Perls, 46, associate professor of medicine and geriatrics at Boston Medical Center, is among the authors of a groundbreaking study of centenarians, "Living to 100, Lessons in Maximizing Your Potential At Any Age." He will speak Oct. 11 at the Italian Community Center. His keynote address is part of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee College of Health Science lecture series "Critical Knowledge in Health Care." Perls spoke with Journal Sentinel reporter Bill Glauber.

Takes Five
Thomas Perls
Q. The first question is an easy one. How can we live to be 100?
A. Six things actually, and they conform to an acronym I've put together: A-G-E-I-N-G.
A is for attitude, having an attitude that makes you both optimistic about your aging as well as the ability to manage your stress well.
G is genetics. Take a look at the longevity in your family. If people are passing away in their 90s and older, that is very good news. On the other hand, if people pass away in their 60s and 70s, alarm bells are ringing.
E is exercise. It's important as we get older not just to do regular exercise but to emphasize strength training. That is less strenuous on the body, but the impact is even better.
I is for interest. Not just exercising your muscles but exercising your brain, doing things novel and complex, perhaps leads to delaying the onset of Alzheimer's disease and memory loss.
N is nutrition, and mostly that is around having a diet to maintain a healthy weight.
G is certainly get rid of the smoking and anti-aging quackery. You absolutely cannot smoke cigarettes. The other is . . . not falling for all the hucksterism on the Web about things that are purported to stop aging.
Q. Is there an outer age limit that the human species cannot pass and, if so, why?
A. I think the oldest person ever, which defines the human life span, Jeanne Calment, who died at 122 in 1997. She defines what the human life span is. Could someone live slightly older than that? I suspect in the next 30 to 40 years, we might see an individual live a few years longer.
Q. What triggered your interest in the study of centenarians?
A. I'm a geriatrician, so it was in . . . my geriatrics fellowships that I had the opportunity to take care of a couple of centenarians who were in exceptionally good shape, which really opened my eyes that there is a group of people who age quite differently than the rest of us.
Q. You've been a stern opponent of the use of human growth hormone as an anti-aging aid. Why?
A. There is a lot of evidence to show that growth hormone is bad for you and may well accelerate aging rather than decelerate.
Q. On the web site www.livingto100.com, there is a life expectancy calculator. How did you rate and have you made plans yet for how and where you'll celebrate your 100th birthday?
A. I'm 96 is my latest calculation. And where (I would be at 100) would be as a retired physician for the Indian Health Service in the southwestern United States. I'm a big believer in doing something totally different when I'm around age 60, when I'm shooting for a second career.

BodyLogicMD Offers Botox, Hormone Therapy and Skin Care Services
Chicago Practice Combines Medical and Holistic Approach
CHICAGO, IL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- October 03, 2006 -- With new medspas, skin care clinics and anti-aging centers opening every day, there are more choices than ever in reversing or preventing the signs of aging.
With Botox™ being one of the most popular treatments for those wanting to decrease the look of visible lines and wrinkles, doctors are quickly adding the procedure and offering it to their patients. But these doctors do not all have the specialty of hormone therapy under their belt, which can greatly improve the look and feel of skin when combined with Botox™.
Dr. Paul Savage of BodyLogicMD, a national network of doctors specializing in hormone therapy and skincare, is leading the pack by offering a skin treatment program that combines Botox™ with hormone therapy.
"While Botox™ is great for treating lines and wrinkles, integrating it with hormone therapy will produce an overall improvement in the skin," says Dr. Savage, the Chief Medical Officer of both Chicago-area BodyLogicMD offices and co-founder of BodyLogicMD. "As the Botox is smoothing the face and giving it a younger appearance, the hormone therapy is treating aging skin by adding hydration, improving collagen and elastins -- and balance from the inside out."
With the skin being the largest organ in the body and one of the most important, balanced hormones are crucial to healthy skin. By offering a complete package of skin care and hormone evaluations, Dr. Savage is able to treat skin problems from a superficial approach, while simultaneously treating the multiple causes of hormonal imbalances.
"Here at BodyLogicMD, we believe in a holistic approach to skin care," says Dr. Savage. "We use medical grade skin care formulas integrated with organic skin care lines and organic microdermabrasion."
The Experts
Trained under Dr. Savage are two expert aestheticians treating patients with BodyLogicMD skin services. Susan Anthony has been a leader in the aesthetics industry for the past ten years. Originally from Burmouth, England, Susan trained at one of the most prestigious schools in England where she mastered the art of skin care and nutrition. Her natural leadership skills have led her to work with some of the most world-renowned board-certified plastic surgeons.

Chicago Practice Combines Medical and Holistic Approach
CHICAGO, IL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- October 03, 2006 -- With new medspas, skin care clinics and anti-aging centers opening every day, there are more choices than ever in reversing or preventing the signs of aging.
With Botox™ being one of the most popular treatments for those wanting to decrease the look of visible lines and wrinkles, doctors are quickly adding the procedure and offering it to their patients. But these doctors do not all have the specialty of hormone therapy under their belt, which can greatly improve the look and feel of skin when combined with Botox™.
Dr. Paul Savage of BodyLogicMD, a national network of doctors specializing in hormone therapy and skincare, is leading the pack by offering a skin treatment program that combines Botox™ with hormone therapy.
"While Botox™ is great for treating lines and wrinkles, integrating it with hormone therapy will produce an overall improvement in the skin," says Dr. Savage, the Chief Medical Officer of both Chicago-area BodyLogicMD offices and co-founder of BodyLogicMD. "As the Botox is smoothing the face and giving it a younger appearance, the hormone therapy is treating aging skin by adding hydration, improving collagen and elastins -- and balance from the inside out."
With the skin being the largest organ in the body and one of the most important, balanced hormones are crucial to healthy skin. By offering a complete package of skin care and hormone evaluations, Dr. Savage is able to treat skin problems from a superficial approach, while simultaneously treating the multiple causes of hormonal imbalances.
"Here at BodyLogicMD, we believe in a holistic approach to skin care," says Dr. Savage. "We use medical grade skin care formulas integrated with organic skin care lines and organic microdermabrasion."
