Dr. Michael
Perlmann. What is anti-aging medicine? Anti-aging medicine
blends traditional principles with the latest advances in medical
research to treat and prevent the causes of aging. Traditional
medicine treats the symptoms and sequelae of aging, whereas
anti-aging medicine strives to prevent or reverse the causes and
signs of aging. The hallmark of anti-aging therapy is prevention,
with a focus on the identification of risk factors of disease,
lifestyle improvements, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) such
as HGH and testosterone therapy.
 Dr. Robert
Goldman 
Chairman
of the Board, American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine
President,
National Academy of Sports Medicine
Doctor Edmund
Chein from 1994 to 1996 treated over 800 people with HGH
replacement therapy. And the results were published in Doctor Ronald
Klatz's 1997 book "Grow Young With HGH". These results demonstrated
to scientists and the public, the safety and efficacy of HGH in
improving a broad array of human health parameters in
adults.
Dr. Andre Berger
- LOS ANGELES, California sees himself as
a pioneer.
"It's a very important hormone, but it's not
something to be taken in isolation," he says. Berger says he
prescribes HGH to restore normal levels of the hormone and makes it
part of a broader long-term treatment program including diet,
nutritional supplements, exercise and other hormone replacement.
Where others in the medical community believe injections of
human growth hormone should be given to adults in only rare cases,
Berger believes it is a crucial part of keeping people young and
vital.
 Dr.
Berger, who has been practicing anti-aging and holistic medicine for
30 years, says he is now prescribing injections of HGH to about one
out of every four people he treats at his Rejuvalife Vitality
Institute in Beverly Hills.
"People come here for
generally two reasons; they want to look better, and they want to
feel better," Berger says.
HGH has been used since the 1950s to help
children with growth problems, but it stayed under the radar for
other uses until 1990, when Dr. Daniel Rudman reported in the
New England Journal of Medicine that men taking a six-month
course of HGH reduced their body fat by 14.4 percent while
increasing lean muscle mass by 8.8 percent.
Dr. Anthony Karpos,
M.D.:
"We
really have something here which may be able to reverse some of the
problems associated with aging."
Doctors Thierry
Hertaghe and Vince Giampapa report that the latest European
research indicates that Human Growth Hormone (HGH) can go beyond the
current antioxidant based anti-aging remedies in slowing, preventing
and reversing aging at the cellular level.
Grace Wong
of Genetech has shown that as we age cell proteins suffer
ever accumulating damage. This is, in large part, caused by the
ever-increasing incidence of free radicals released during normal
cellular activity. Wong says that HGH can actually activate a
cellular defense force of protease inhibitors. So even if high
levels of free radicals can't be avoided, the protease inhibitors
prevent the free radicals from triggering cell destructive protease.
Thus, unlike antioxidants, HGH does not just reduce cellular damage,
it can actively promote the healing and regeneration of
cells!
After six months of HGH treatment at
Sahlgrenska Hospital in Sweden HGH deficient adults lost
20% of their body fat. Most of this fat loss occurred in abdominal
fat, reduced by 30% compared with a 13% reduction in peripheral fat.
(e.g. arm and leg) It is abdominal fat that is strongly correlated
with increased incidence of heart attack., hypertension and
diabetes.
Thomas C. Welbourne of Louisiana
State University College of Medicine in Shreveport, conducted a
study that showed that a surprisingly small dose of Glutamine (Major
component of our "AgeForce™" formula) raised HGH levels more than
four times the amount of patients on a placebo. Even more exciting,
age did not diminish the responses.
Vladimir Dilman,
PH.D. "Hormones are vital for repairing and regulating our
bodily functions. As we age, though the body produces lower levels
of hormones, which can result in disastrous effects, including the
decline of self-repair and self-regulation. Hormone replacement
therapy, a frequent component of any anti-aging treatment, helps to
reset the body's hormonal clock and thus can reverse of delay the
effects of aging. If our hormones are being produced at youthful
levels, in a very real sense the cells of our bodies are stimulated
to be metabolically active and thus, the entire body stays
young."
Silvio Inzucchi of Yale University wrote in the January 15, 1997 issue of Hospital Practice, "Growth
hormone deficiency is not formally recognized as a specific clinical
syndrome, typified by decreased muscle mass, increased body fat
(predominantly at intra-abdominal sites)
Dr. Robert
Kerr (San Gabriel, California, treated over 8,000 athletes
in the course of his practice, prescribing HGH. Kerr said his
patients took HGH for only three to six weeks. In that time,
bodybuilders claimed their results lasted up to 12 months. Some
athletes claimed to have gained up to 40 pounds in six weeks while
reducing their body fat.
Dr. Julian Whitaker of
Newport Beach, California has been prescribing HGH to his
elderly patients, as well as taking it himself. He states, "I have
not seen anything that even comes close to the restorative power of
HGH supplementation". In Whitaker's opinion, HGH is most effective
in combating the effects of chronic diseases that involve muscle
wasting: stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and
AIDS.
1996 New England Journal of
Medicine - Patients treated with HGH who had
moderate-to-severe heart failure, increased the thickness of the
left ventricular wall, enhanced the ability of the heart to contract
and pump out blood, reduced the oxygen requirement of the heart,
improved exercise capacity, clinical systems, and the patients
quality of life. Published
HGH Studies from the New England Journal of
Medicine
David
Clemmons, chief of Endocrinology at the University of North
Carolina School of Medicine in Chapel Hill, believes that HGH is a
promising treatment for emphysema and other chronic obstructive
pulmonary diseases.
Dr. Ronald Klatz, Author
"Grow Young with HGH" "GH (Growth Hormone) is the ultimate anti
aging therapy. It effects almost every cell in the body,
rejuvenating the skin and bones, regenerating the heart, liver,
lungs, and kidneys, bringing organ and tissue function back to
youthful levels. It is an anti-disease medicine that revitalizes the
immune system, lowers the risk factors for heart attack and stroke,
improves oxygen uptake in emphysema patients, and prevents
osteoporosis. It is under investigation for a host of different
diseases from post-polio syndrome to AIDS. It is the most effective
anti-obesity drug ever discovered, reviving up the metabolism to
youthful levels, resculpting the body by selectively reducing the
fat in the waist, abdomen, hips, and thighs, and at the same time
increasing muscle mass. It may be the most powerful aphrodisiac ever
discovered, reviving flagging sexual and potency in older men. It is
cosmetic surgery in a bottle, smoothing out facial wrinkles;
restoring the elasticity, thickness, and contours of youthful skin;
reversing the loss of extracellular water that makes old people look
like dried-up prunes. It has healing powers that close ulcerated
wounds and regrow burned skin. It is the secret ingredient in the
age-defying bodies of weight lifters and it enhances exercise
performance, allowing you to do higher-intensity workouts of longer
duration. It reverses the insomnia of later life, restoring the
"slow wave" or deepest level of sleep. And it is a mood elevator,
lifting the spirits along with the body, bringing back a zest for
life many people thought was lost forever. The latest research shows
that it holds promise for that most intractable and terrifying
disease of aging - Alzheimer's." Dr. Ronald
Klatz
President, American
Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine
"The next great benefit of GH
therapy appears to be in the aging population. People with age
related deficiency of GH become fat, flabby, frail, and lethargic,
lose interest in sex, have trouble sleeping, concentrating,
remembering things, tire easily, and in general, lose their zest for
life. With HGH, all these so-called signs of aging are
reversed." "By replenishing your supply of growth
hormone, you can recover your vigor, health, looks and sexuality.
For the first time in human history, we can intervene in the aging
process, restore many aspects of youth, resist disease,
substantially improve the quality of life, perhaps extend the life
span itself. The 'Fountain of Youth' lies within the cells of each
of us. All you need to do is release it."

Patrick Cadigan, M.D., Medical
College of Florida. "Today a greater sense of well-being and self
confidence is closer than you think."
Daniel Rudman,
M.D., Medical College of Wisconsin. "The effects of six
months of growth hormone on lean body mass and adipose-tissue mass
were equivalent in magnitude to the changes incurred during 10 to 20
years of aging." Dr. Rudman found that when hGH was administered to
his elderly patients, within several weeks they all noticed
significant physical improvement. The benefits included increased
muscle mass, decreased body fat, increased skin thickness, improved
flexibility, and improved mental/emotion outlook.
In effect, HGH reversed the biological age of the
subjects by 10 to 20
years.
Did you know? Dr. Rudman
considered plasma IGF-1 levels under 350 evidence of a
deficiency.

Dr.
Eve Van Cauter, GH researcher, University of Chicago
Medical Center. "All of these ideas about treating people with
growth hormone have been directed towards people sixty-five and
older. If you look at the data, people have so-called 'elderly'
levels by age forty. Perhaps we should be giving GH replacement
therapy earlier rather than attempting to treat tissues that have
seen little or no growth hormone for decades."
Dr.
Lawrence Dornan, member of the American Academy of
Anti-Aging "It stops the aging process in the body and reverses many
of the problems that are caused by aging, such as wrinkling skin,
increased body fat, decreased muscle mass, increased cholesterol,
decreased stamina and energy, decreased mental function, impaired
neurological functions such as Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis.
IGF-1 or growth hormone is truly an amazing substance which is both
safe and effective with no known side effects unless it's used in an
overdose manner."
Dr. George Merriam, University of Washington in Seattle-National Institute of Aging
studies on growth hormone " There is no evidence suggesting that
this [growth hormone] replacement therapy causes any unfavorable
long term side effects... a complete absence of side effects."

Dr.
Jorgensen and Dr. Christian of Copenhagen, Denmark, in
European Journal of Endocrinology, 1994 "Replacement therapy with
Growth Hormone has shown beneficial and normalizing effect on
parameters such as cardiac and renal function, thyroid hormone
metabolism, bone metabolism, sweat secretion, total and regional
fuel metabolism and psychological well being"
V.A. Medical Center and Department of
Medicine, Stanford University Medical Center:
Conclusion: 'It Is possible that
chronic physiologic GH and/or IGF-I replacement therapy might
reverse (or prevent) some of these "Inevitable" sequences of
aging". (Study of GH therapy in the elderly - March
1992.)
Dr. Joke Powrie,
M.D. and Dr. Andrew Weissberger, St. Thomas Hospital, London
England:
'All
adults with growth hormone deficiency should now be considered for
growth hormone replacement therapy.'
