I saw an article on Yahoo the other day. The article mentioned how scientists are developing anti-aging drugs to use in the future. These drugs could potentially stop the aging process so we could live forever. One problem I see with this is the overpopulation of humans on Earth and scientists will be playing God. This could be a hot area of debate in the future. What are your thoughts on this issue?
OK many issues here, but I prefer to deal with this naturally . I HAVE CHOSEN TO GO WITH NATUROPATHS, I AM NOT ASKING YOUR OPINION ON IF THEY ARE GOOD OR NOT. IF I DIE FROM THIS CHOICE, IT IS MY PREROGATIVE.to start with as high blood pressure does NOT run in my family and I had low blood pressure until I got Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The natural dr, about 25 years ago told me to eat all the salt I wanted to because I have thyroid issues and when she took me off of it for a period of time, I had no energy. But this past year+, I had been eating tons of salt on tons of popcorn ( emotional eating) and now I found my kidneys are showing signs of “issues’ via a reflexologist/iconic footbath and my blood pressure is high when I wake up and low after I am moving around a lot. Did eating all that salt “ruin” my kidneys ? I have other issues, I have taken anti depressants for years, and am weaning down. I have had a very hot head and it is better, but I am showing signs of something, I have no health insurance , so it is nearly impossible for me to see a naturopath. My health is basically like my dads and he had his carotid arteries cleaned out, but I think in his 70′s ? He just died at age 94 . His dad died of a cerebral hemorrhage at age 70 in 1954. Our family health record is basically very good, but I got CFS. I’m just trying to give as much info as possible If you have more questions or things I should consider, please tell me, When I go walking, and test my blood pressure, it is in the very normal range, but goes up to 145/85 several times in the day. How can this be, How does the blood pressure system operate in a way that goes down when I exercise ?
My stepmother has been taking DM childrens dose cough medicine, her doctor recommended it to her. But my dad went to the store last night and was told by the cashier that there is an ingredient in it that teen age kids have been using to make a certain drug, and that my step mom should NOT be taking it while she is pregnant, because it can ruin the sack that the baby is surrounded by.
My dad asked if the man was a doctor and he said no, but that he used to work in a hospital. He told my dad that my stepmom should ask the doctor again if it is ok to use this.
She is also mixing antidepressents with it, which the bottle says you should not be doing, does anyone know if this could be a major problem?
I already have done research on the anti depressents and I have found that there have been a number of studies and they don’t seem to have any affects on the growing fetus.
I sould say that the cashier said that she should check with the doctor again because he (the doctor) doesn’t seem to know what he is talking about.
Nine-year-old Corey Haas can ride his bike alone now, thanks to an experimental gene therapy that has boosted his fading vision with a single treatment.
The gene therapy helped improve worsening eyesight caused by a rare inherited disease called Leber congenital amaurosis, or LCA, which makes most patients blind by age 40.
Twelve treated patients, including Corey, now have better vision, their doctors told a joint meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Pan-American Association of Ophthalmology in San Francisco on Saturday.
Anti Aging Foods are foods that are perfectly suited to your metabolism and to your specific genetic make-up. One of the most important aspects to anti aging is not finding the latest anti aging vitamin or anti aging supplement, but in finding the perfect fuel or food to make your cells and body run perfectly and disease free for many years to come.
I would like to describe why I am optimistic about the future of medicine in general and anti-aging medicine in particular. My optimism is due to the growing popularity and effectiveness of energetic approaches to medicine. Western biomedicine has held back in looking at life from the energetic perspective because the predominant focus has been on chemistry, biochemistry and pharmacology. From my perspective, chemistry is one of many successful approaches to life and health. Energy medicine is filling in many of the previously unexplored or unknown areas in the puzzle of life and healing, and thereby increasing our understandings of how to help patients live longer and happier lives.

We live in a time when youth is revered and as people grow older, most begin to try harder and harder to find ways to hold on to their youth both in spirit and appearance. Often times, it is easier to maintain ones youth through their spirit because this is very much controllable on a personal level versus trying to maintain a youthful appearance. Gravity happens and as people grow older, certain body parts begin to sag and other parts begin to show the effects of years of wear from the environment.
While there is nothing wrong with growing older, if you want to make your appearance look a little younger and are confident that this will help your overall well being, there is anti aging medicine to help you achieve this goal. This type of medicine is very popular among those that want to keep their youthful appearance and many people swear that it is the only thing that has worked for them.
If you have more questions or things I should consider, please tell me, When I go walking, and test my blood pressure, it is in the very normal range, but goes up to 145/85 several times in the day. How can this be, How does the blood pressure system operate in a way that goes down when I exercise ?
