Make your patients healthy, not just less diseased
1. Preventive medicine is all about improving the health of your patient, through the very early detection, prevention, and reduction in risk of age-related diseases, and therefore is sometimes also called anti-aging medicine. Degenerative diseases of aging include heart disease, cancers, diabetes, inflammation, auto-immune states and other chronic age-related diseases, resulting in increased poor quality of life and mortality.
2. Are your patients' statin medicines damaging their hearts? Research published in the Feb 2006 edition of the Journal of Cardiology reported that, although they are important weapons to reduce cholesterol, many statin cholesterol lowering medicines (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) can damage heart function, by depleting the body of an essential heart-protective nutrient called co-enzyme Q10.
3. You don't have to take hormones to be exposed to hormones! Everybody is exposed to environmental hormones, called xenoestrogens.
4. Bio-Identical Hormones: a safer option (for men & women).
