For
example, if you want
to use human
growth
hormone (HGH),
not all
alternative
physicians will
prescribe it for
you.
Some
alternative
physicians do not
approve of estrogen
replacement.
The most popular
anti aging products
today are anti aging
creams for the skin
followed by anti
aging drugs who have
the right anti aging
formula or not.
Anti aging
hormone are a
alternative but
before using them
you better consult a
anti aging
physicians, there is
to much anti aging
product junk around.

therapy and anti
aging treatments are
offered everywhere
this days, from
the shop at the
corner offering
everything popular
presently to serious
dermatology,
genotropin,
ghr 15 growth
hormone and hgh
growth hormone for
anti aging aging.
Since the real
HGH done by hgh
injections is rather
very expensive
a alternative could
be a growth hormone
releaser or growth
hormone supplement.
Some say it works,
some say it doesn't
work, hgh releasers
have almost no side
effects, hgh
releasers are quite
economically priced
which means you can
give it a try it
wont hurt, either
your body or your
wallet.
A other way to a
therapy with human
growth agent is
using a hgh spray.
Other hormones are
used for traditional
bodybuilding and
might have some
positive effects on
you in terms
building up your
muscles and simply
make you somehow
physically stronger.
The same can be
achieved with human
growth hormone pills
for a hormone
increase.

the skin can be
minimized.
Microdermabrasion
wont hurt and
requires no
anesthetic.
Microdermabrasion is
also used for skin
care treatment of
acne and should be
repeated
periodically to show
results.
For the immediate
result anti aging
creams are probably
the best start.
Anti aging drugs
with special anti
aging formula and
anti aging hormone
might work for you,
check the internet
for some experience
others might have
had with the anti
aging product you
will use.
In any case
consulting a anti
aging physicians
wont hurt, its a
matter of the price
relation for the
anti aging products
and the
money you are
willing to invest.
Another anti aging
therapy could be a
treatment anti aging
treatment using the
best skin care
products dermatology
can offer.
Growth hormone

anti aging growth
hormone releaser
might be a good
start with a growth
hormone supplement.
Hgh for anti aging
should be go on
trial for you first,
all this hgh
energizer are not
really certified and
testet, there is a
huge "gray zone"
where people tell a
lot but no one
really know.
Hgh injectable is
a very expensive
treatment, It
might be useful to
go on a hgh releaser
treatment first.
Either via a hgh
spray therapy with
human growth agent
and human growth

aging. Human growth
hormone could also
be used for
bodybuilding, but

comes in the form of
pills.

After you do your
homework, start
shopping. Ask your
pharmacist for
antiaging,
(preferably one who
operates an
independent
pharmacy) for a
recommendation. Or,
log on to acam.org
for names of
alternative
physicians in your
area. Interview at
least several who
say they practice
alternative or
anti-aging medicine.
Be aware that many
alternative
physicians do not
take insurance. You
pay for everything
out of your pocket.
(Your private
insurance may
reimburse you –
check with your
plan.) Most
alternative
physicians don’t
take Medicare or
private insurance
because more than
enough people
eagerly pay cash for
their services.
Scrutinize how their
business operates.
(Yes, I did say
“business.” Doctors
are business people,
not gods.)
Is there a
nutritionist on
staff? If so, that’s
a definite plus. A
nutritionist will
take time to educate
you about which
supplements you need
and why they are
important. This is a
critical benefit for
those who know
little about diet
and supplements.
What kinds of blood
tests are done?
Blood tests are
critical. They tell
what's really going
on in your body. A
good alternative
physician will do
many tests not done
by traditional
physicians. For
example, traditional
physicians often
don’t test hormone
levels for
menopausal women –
they just prescribe
“one size fits all”
synthetic hormones.
After you select a
physician, and then
decide the doctor is
not right for you,
don’t hesitate to
look elsewhere.
There are plenty of
dedicated
alternative
physicians
available. The
challenge is to find
the right one for
you.
Why it’s important
to have an
anti-aging or
alternative
physician:
Twenty years ago,
the National Academy
of Sciences (NAS)
reported that 21
hours of education
in nutrition was
required but found
many medical schools
did not offer
nutrition courses.
A survey published
in the American
Journal of Clinical
Nutrition
(Vol.83,pp.
9415-9445)
re-examined the
state of nutrition
education in medical
schools. The result
of the survey showed
that less than one
half (41 percent) of
the responding
schools provided the
minimum 25 hours or
more recommended by
the NAS in 1985.
Also found was that
17 schools (18
percent) required
only less than or
equal to 10 hours of
nutrition
instruction.
This is alarming.
Most people rely on
their physician for
nutrition advice.
Less than adequate
nutrition training
explains why many
traditionally
trained physicians
do not understand
the importance of
nutrition and may
discourage
supplement use.
Living an anti-aging
lifestyle is easier
than you think. With
the help of a
dedicated
alternative
physician, you can
do it. When you find
the right doctor,
your health and
wellbeing can
benefit
dramatically.
Can you guess
how old I am? If
there is indeed
a fountain d
youth, it flows
from within, say

well begins with

"Surviving
cancer has
allowed me to be
an example of
hope to others,
I found a
malignant mass
in 1999 during a
breast
self-examination.
I went through
radiation for
eight months, no
chemotherapy. I
didn't lose my

meditation and
plenty of fruits
and vegetables
kept me
together. Early

mother survived
four bouts of
cancer, so t
know this.
"When I was
younger I felt
awkward about my
appearance. My
forehead was too
big and my
behind was too
flat. It was
after I learned
to accept my
looks just the
way I am that I
became a model
at age 40.
"It has taken
some time for me
to find my
purpose. When I
lost my job as
an account

I'd held for 14
years it took a
while for me to
bounce back. I

Dancing is

Dancing kept me

friends
"We're fitness
pioneers," says
identical twin
Connie (far
right). "Our
parents were
very
disappointed
when we bypassed
graduate school
to join a dance
troupe. While we
pranced around
as unpaid
dancers, we
supported
ourselves by
working in a
local gym. The
1980's fitness
craze hit, and
the next thing
we knew, I was
working for Jane
Fonda's fitness
business; Coco
was teaching at
a swanky sports
club in Sweden,"
she says of her
twin. "Today
we're
instructors at
Rancho La Puerta
Health and
Fitness Resort
in Tecate,
Mexico. When
we're not
teaching African
dance, we're
baking or
training for
marathons."
"Every day we
choose health,"
says Coco
(right). "We
choose fitness.
It's
nonnegotiable.
At the moment my
workout routine
is 15 minutes a
day--five
minutes on the
step, five
minutes of
weight training
and five minutes
of balance
training on the
ball. That's it.
If we're
training for a
marathon,
obviously we run
a lot more.
Connie has
completed eight
marathons in
nine years, and
I've completed
four.
"When we began,
we actually
thought we'd
have to slow
down at 40. But
we're still
going strong,
making a living
out of what we
love. Some of
the best
teachers at the
ranch are in
their fifties
and sixties."

relationship
with morn
Beverlee and
grandmom
Barbara. "We
share a strong
work ethic, and
we're all very
independent
women."
"If you're a
mother it's hard
not to focus all
your energy on
your children,"
Beverlee, 65,
says. "Nikkole
always reminds
me to do things
for me, and I've
finally started
listening to
her. You can
regularly catch
me swimming in
my pool or
fixing my
favorite seafood
casserole."
"You've got to
stay active,"
says gran
Barbara, 89. "I
play bridge two
or three times a
week. Even
though a leg
injury has
slowed me down a
bit physically,
I keep my mind
moving."
"Life is easier
if you spend
more time with
positive
people," Nikkole
adds. "Toxic
folks just take
all the joy out
of life."
