This book takes a whole new perspective concerning the approach to treating aging process. Most doctors feel they have no other options but to operate on the physical processes that occur as we grow older. Now, for the first time, there is another scientific approach that impacts on the causes of aging and not just on the effects.

Americans often feel frustrated, insignificant, and powerless when it comes to getting the medical care they need. To make matters worse, we're living in a world saturated by pesticides, herbicides, chemicals, genetically modified and chemically enhanced foods, and invisible electromagnetic threats from technological devices. Dr. Kevin Ford exposes the fallacies and hypocrisies behind conventional medicine today while also providing new directions for improved health care. He provides insights to help you: augment well-being and deter illness; reclaim power over your own health and wellness; avoid and minimize exposure to potential health threats benefit from natural dietary, detoxification, and other therapies. Conventional medical doctors routinely risk losing their license if they prescribe safe and natural treatments to help patients regain their health. Dr. Ford reveals why they should be using natural treatments to help all age groups.

Unlock the secrets of your telomeres for a longer, healthier life. They’re like the plastic tips of your shoelaces that keep them from fraying. But they’re at the ends of your DNA and they keep you from developing disease and dying too young. The discovery of telomeres is one of the great breakthroughs in contemporary medicine. Nobel-winning scientist Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn and her research teams have opened a world of promise when it comes to living longer and healthier. Today, we have the know-how to slow the disintegration process, to beat our biological clock, and prevent disease. Keeping your telomeres robust and as long as possible is crucial to your health. Noted physician, Dr. Elaine Chin, offers practical and realistic ways to optimize the length of your telomeres and maximize your health. Containing comprehensive information on diet and lifestyle, the potential of supplements, hormone-replacement therapy, sleep patterns, mindfulness, stress management and life purpose, Lifelines will show you how to use our knowledge of telomere science to give you an advantage in what really counts most in life—how long and how well you will live!

Aging is a natural phenomenon that is peculiar to all living things. However, accumulating findings indicate that senescence could be postponed or prevented by certain approaches. Substantial evidence has emerged supporting the possibility of radical human health and lifespan extension, in particular through pharmacological modulation of aging. A number of natural dietary ingredients and synthetic drugs have been assumed to have geroprotective potential. In the development of anti-aging therapeutics, several cell, insect, and animal models may provide useful starting points prior to human studies. This book provides an overview of current research aimed to search for life-extending medications and describes pharmacological aspects of anti-aging medicine. Readers are introduced to the fascinating historical background of geroprotection in the first chapter. In-depth information on models for investigating geroprotective drugs precedes a section covering anti-aging properties of pharmaceutical compounds, such as calorie restriction mimetics, autophagy inducers, senolytics and mitochondrial antioxidants. Finally, strategies to translate discoveries from aging research into drugs and healthcare policy perspectives on anti-ageing medicine are provided to give a complete picture of the field. A timely and carefully edited collection of chapters by leading researchers in the field, this book will be a fascinating and useful resource for pharmacologists, gerontologists and any scientifically interested person wishing to know more about the current status of research into anti-aging remedies, challenges and opportunities.

Now in its third edition, this trusted clinical guide enables both the busy practitioner and student to review or to learn about a range of pathologies, conditions, examinations, diagnostic procedures, and interventions that can be effectively used in the physical rehabilitation of older people. It presents a broad overview of age-related physiological changes as well as specific professional discipline perspectives. Organized into eleven distinct and interrelated units, the first unit begins with key anatomical and physiological considerations seen with aging which have significant impact on the older person. The second and third units go on to review important aging-related conditions and disorders of the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular/neurological systems respectively. Neoplasms commonly encountered in older people are the focus of the fourth unit; while aging-related conditions of the cardiovascular, pulmonary, integumentary and sensory systems are presented in units five through seven. Unit eight highlights a range of specific clinical problems and conditions commonly encountered with older patients. Critically, all of these units emphasize important examination and diagnostic procedures needed for a thorough evaluation and stress interventions that can be of significant benefit to the older patient. The ninth unit presents select physical therapeutic interventions that are especially important in managing rehabilitative care. Key societal issues related to aging are discussed in the tenth unit. Finally, the concluding eleventh unit focuses on the successful rehabilitation team that includes both professional and non-professional caregiver members. - A trusted guide to the conditions and problems faced when evaluating and treating geriatric patients - Extensive coverage over 84 chapters, each written by an expert in the field - Includes imaging, vision and the aging ear - Cross-referenced - providing the complexity and inter-relatedness of co-morbidities common to aging patients - Collaborative international perspective - Chapters on the aging spine; frailty; safe pilates for bone health; health care for older people - Additional renowned editor - Ronald W. Scott - Revised title to reflect the comprehensive scope of content covered (previously entitled Geriatric Rehabilitation Manual)

The calendar and mirror may say 40-something or 50, but the spirit inside says 30. Yet for many women, plastic surgery is too expensive, and most don't want to end up having that “Oscar-freeze” look. With more than fifteen years' experience, Dr. Irwin distills all her expertise to help women look their best with minimum fuss and expense. Most women have a finite list of issues they'd like to correct: undereye bags, upper lip lines, that annoying forehead crease. Akin to having a personal skin consultation, Dr. Irwin walks readers through each problem area. Whether recommending a new product, filler, or laser treatment, she arms women with practical tips they can use, including which of the latest technologies to trust (and avoid); how to look younger on a strict time line; and how to maintain that youthful glow once you get it back!
