WHAT IS MID-LIFE MEDICINE?
Mid-Life Medicine’s mission is to promote natural medicines and techniques
that retard, reverse, or suspend the deterioration of the human body resulting
from the physiological effects of aging. Top
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE EFFECTS OF AGING THAT
CAN BE HELPED?
Mid-Life Medicine attempts to reduce adverse effects of aging,
and particularly premature aging. Some effects of aging are:
- Systemic dehydration
- Osteoporosis
- Loss of protein
- Increase in per cent body fat
- Decreased libido/loss of sex drive
- Osteoarthritis
- Decreased muscle mass
- Weakened heart and lung function
- Decreased endocrine function
- Lowering of blood hormone levels
- Dry skin
- Wrinkles
- Baldness
- Decreased resistance to stress
- Increased risk of cancer and heart disease
- Weakened immune system Top
WHAT ARE SOME REALISTIC GOALS THAT CAN BE
ACHIEVED WITH MID-LIFE PROGRAM?
Mid-Life Medicine helps you age more gracefully, increasing overall health
through proper diet, exercise, natural hormone replacement, and various natural
medicine techniques. You should expect to experience an increase in energy,
an improved sense of well being, improved sex drive, and an improved countenance.
Many of the effects of aging listed above should be abated or improved. Mid-Life
Medicine can keep you active for life. Top
CAN MY BIOLOGICAL AGE REALLY BE MEASURED?
Yes, through a unique computer program developed at Caring Medical and Rehabilitation
Services, S. C., your actual biological age can be measured. *By testing your
anabolic hormone levels, the actual biological age can be calculated. One of
the goals of Mid-Life Medicine is to lower than your chronological age.
*Even though standard established testing is used, it is still thought
to be experimental (by some experts). Top
CAN BIOLOGICAL AGE BE LOWERED?
Through nutrition, natural hormone intervention, and other natural medicine
techniques, your biological age can actually decrease. Top
WHAT IS THE MID-LIFE PROGRAM?
The Mid-Life Program is unique for every individual. Every individual should
have a specific diet, vitamin and herbal supplements, exercise program, as
well as natural medicine techniques for optimal health. Natural hormone supplementation
for both men and women, including growth hormones, is also offered. By specific
nutritional and natural medicine testing, a specific program will be designed
for each person. Top
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE NATURAL MEDICINE
MID-LIFE TECHNIQUES?
Everyone must eat, right? Do you know what to eat? Some say
large amounts of carbohydrates are good, others say a diet high in
protein is best. Who’s right? The natural medicine technique
to determine what kind of diet is best for an individual is called
Diet Typing involves testing the blood, urine, and saliva for
such things as pH and other biological markers. Diet Typing
helps determine the nutritional needs of an individual as it relates
to the amount of carbohydrates and proteins that are needed for optimal
health. Top
COMBATING CANCER/HEART DISEASE
Are you taking enough antioxidants? Are you absorbing your food and vitamin
supplements or do you need enzyme supplementation? There are now natural medicine
procedures that are sensitive enough to answer these questions. This information
along with Diet Typing will allow the proper nutritional and enzymatic
supplements, as well as diet, to be prescribed specifically for an individual’s
needs. Top
CHELATION THERAPY
Oxidative stress has been proposed as a main cause of aging. One of the reasons
oxidation occurs in the body is due to heavy metal exposure from things as
lead, cadmium, and mercury. Some people are utilizing chelation therapy to
improve their health and remove the heavy metal loads from their bodies. Chelation
therapy involves the intravenous infusion of an amino acid E.D.T.A., as well
as various vitamins. Some people with poor circulation and angina also claim
that this treatment in conjunction with a proper diet, has substantially helped
them alleviate symptoms as well as improve their circulation. Top
GROWTH HORMONE AND OTHER NATURAL HORMONES
With aging comes a subsequent drop in hormone levels, most evident for women
at the age of menopause. Men also have a drop in hormones called womenpause.
(That’s a joke, laugh a little.) Seriously, men’s hormone levels
also drop. Science is now realizing that replacing these hormones in both men
and women can have great beneficial effects on their health.
Instead of synthetic steroids, Natural Medicine utilizes natural
hormones from such things as soybeans to replenish the hormones a
person is missing. Some of the beneficial effects of natural hormone
replacement can be improved mood and body contour, including a decrease
in percent of body fat. Top
