Anti-Ageing medicine.... towards a more vibrant life
Read on and inform yourself............
Our bodies are essentially complex chemical machines similar to our cars. When we are sick, doctors use chemicals called drugs to make us better. When we are not sick, we can balance the chemicals in our system to help us to feel better and function at our best. If we want our car to perform at its best, we do not just fill the tank with petrol and do nothing else. We check the oil level, the water level and the tyre pressures. We also tune the car, check the brakes and many other checks. Similarly, if we want our bodies to function at their best, there a lot of things we need to check and balance. Just like our cars, we must exercise our bodies regularly to maintain ideal health. A car that is not driven around will deteriorate, "rest is rust" and "if you don't use it, you loose it". Exercise is an integral part of an anti-ageing regime. How long will I be under treatment? Anti-ageing treatments are a life-long commitment to better health. If your thyroid gland stopped functioning, you would need to take thyroid hormone for the rest of your life. If your pancreas stopped functioning, you would develop diabetes and you would again need life-long treatment. Ageing does not stop. To maintain ideal health and function, you will need to take treatments for the rest of your life. You can, however, stop the treatments at any time or take a break from therapy. What is the aim of therapy? We aim to increase quality of life as well as prolonging life if possible. We know that we can't stop the ageing process. We may, however, be able to slow it down and maintain the best possible health for the longest possible time. What is the process? We review your full medical history and perform an appropriate physical examination. We review your preventative health stratergies, your diet and your exercise routine. We perform extensive pathology tests and prescribe appropriate treatments. We review your medical state regularly. Will I be treated with Human Growth Hormone? Only if you are found to have growth hormone deficiency. Are anti-ageing treatments scientifically based? There are many scientific studies that support the benefits of anti-ageing treatments, however, these therapies have not been formally and extensively clinically tested. What this means is that they have not been tested on large groups of people with long-term follow up. These clinical studies take many years to complete. By undergoing anti-ageing treatments you are trying a new idea with no guarantee that it will work. There is also insufficient data about possible short-term and long-term side effects. In this situation you have the choice of either waiting 5 to 20 years for the results of clinical studies to become available or you can take the treatment now and hope that it will help you.
