What’s new in anti-aging medicine

The latest development in anti-aging medicine is the use of "human growth hormone" (HGH) which can come as an injectable, a secretagogue (stimulates the natural secretion of HGH) or as releases (stimulates the release of HGH).

When patients are resistant to injectables, I give them Revers Age, a product of Reliv, USA, which is the best anti-aging HGH secretagogue in the market that I have found.

Revers Age contains one of the most potent secretagogues which is Symbiotropin which releases HGH naturally and utilizes "chaperone molecules" to guide the releasing agent in the digestion tract and enhance absorption at receptor sites.

Another important component of Revers Age is 7 KETODHEA (the most abundant hormone in the body), which declines into half by age 40.

SAM-e (S. Adenozyl L. methionine) is another component that has a role in methylation. It is sold in Europe to support mood and joint health, and is also helpful in treating depression, controlling inflammatism and pain, and speeds up healing.

According to Dr. Denham Harman, free radicals should be neutralized by antioxidants – which are also found in Revers Age – like co-enzyme Q10 which is mostly present in the heart as antioxidant and energy releaser (ATP), and promotes anti-aging.

Another antioxidant is Resveratrol or Protykin which is also present in red wine and prevents heart attacks and strokes.

Revers Age also contains an age-defying herb complex like Ginkgo biloba which blocks shrinkage of the memory center called hippocampus. Another herb is MACA which has revitalizing properties, especially in promoting fertility.

Other useful ingredients of Revers Age are Omega 3-fatty acids like Eicosapentanoic acid (EPA), which produces less arterial constriction and platelet aggregation, prevents heart attacks and strokes, lowers serum cholesterol, maintains healthy cell membranes, and reduces the incidence of hypertension, and also has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effect.

Lactobacillus acidophiles and bifidobacterium Bifidum are also present which normalize the bacterial flora of the GI tract. Another substance in Revers Age is L-arginine which opens clogged arteries, reduces risk of heart disease, improves the immune system and, together with L-Ornithine, releases HGH, and is an alternative to Viagra.

Also present is glutathione which is a powerful antioxidant that helps the liver break up toxic materials. Acetyl L. carnitive, which provides acetyl group for Acetyl Co-A for brain energetic pathway and decreases the cortisol level, is also present as well as N-acetyl Cysteine which neutralizes the harmful homocysteine.

Last but not the least is Alpha Lipoic acid which is a vitamin-like substance in food whose key roles are energy production and lowering and stabilization of glucose in diabetics.

I once had a patient who had had asthma for 40 years. Dr. Jing Carreno and I added Revers Age in a special dose, and her asthma was gone, but we still could not explain the mechanics of this case until now.

Another patient had diabetes and hypertension. When Revers Age was added to her anti-diabetic and anti-hypertensive regimen, her condition improved a lot.

I have a lot of friends, both doctors and patients, who are enjoying the benefits of anti-aging using Revers Age, especially in overcoming fatigue and depression common in old age.

Now that you know one of the best-kept secrets of anti-aging, the final decision is yours to make – live a youthful old age or not. Just the same, welcome to a new chance of taking control of your life rather than life controlling you! The bottomline is, it is your life, make the most of it.
