Anti-aging medicine is the following:

It is based on science. Anti-aging treatment practices are supported by scientific evidence and therefore cannot be branded as anecdotal.

It is evidence-based. Anti-aging medicine is based on the acquisition of ordered data to formulate a scientific and objective assessment upon which effective treatment is assigned.

Anti-aging medicine is documented by peer-reviewed journals. The National Library of Medicine hosts 1,000's of peer-reviewed articles on anti-aging medicine.

Anti-aging medicine can be categorized into 3 primary strategies for intervention:

1. Integrative Medicine -ie; the combination of different regenerative therapies and protocols.
2. Functional Medicine -ie; improving natural body functions.
3. Preventive Medicine -ie; taken action before disease manifests.
 

TOP 5 - ANTI AGING MEDICINE

Cognitive Neuroplasticity Therapy
A relatively new field that combines the study of complex behaviors (psychology) and the study of neural processes (neurosciences).  One specialist, proven treatment area focuses on the Brain-Mind-Body union by resetting the limbic system of the brain (through the use of experiential mind exercises), to re-build and strengthen functional neural pathways relating to youthfulness, health and well-being.

This proven, evidence-backed, accelerated treatment program provides age reversal changes within 7 days and importantly has No Side-Effects, No Complications, No Pain or Danger. Read More -
 

Telomere-Based Therapies
Telomerase is an enzyme that appears to overcome cellular senescence by extending the tips of the chromosomes called the telomeres. Supporters argue that if telomerase can avoid aging in cells in vitro, maybe it can be used to combat human aging.

Numerous companies are developing telomerase-based therapies to fight aging. Our knowledge of telomerase is still imperfect. Research on telomerase is still in an early age, and many have doubts about the efficiency and long-term safety of telomerase-based anti-aging therapies. Meantime, some companies are also selling telomere measurements to estimate biological age. However, there is no evidence at present that telomere length is a better indicator of biological age than chronological age.

Hormonal Therapies
The levels of many hormones fall with age. Some of the most popular anti-aging treatments are based on the idea that hormonal changes contribute to aging and therefore reversing age-related hormonal changes can be beneficial.

Human growth hormone (hGH) injections have a long history as an anti-aging treatment and some evidence suggests hGH has beneficial effects in elderly people eg; increase muscle mass, strengthen the immune system and increase libido. However, hGH, like many other anti-aging products failed to live up to expectations, mainly due to the negative side-effects (Liu et al., 2007). These might include weight gain, high blood pressure and diabetes.

Stem Cells
Stem cells have received a great amount of recent attention. This is partly due to the potential stem cells have for regenerative medicine. The prospect of using stem cells to treat diseases of aging and for rejuvenation is highly attractive to many.

However, there is no evidence that stem cell-based anti-aging treatments will work. Harvesting and/or preparing stem cells for treatments is a difficult process and much effort is still required to optimize protocols. In some areas it has proven useful such as the use of blood- and marrow-derived stem cells in some autoimmune and cardiovascular diseases (reviewed in Burt et al., 2008). Yet stem cell applications are still in their infancy and a long way before it can be  employed to delay aging.

Antioxidants
To fight free radicals (ROS), cells possess defenses called antioxidants, many of which can be synthesized or extracted, purified, and then sold, mostly as tablets / anti-aging drugs (Ames et al., 1993).

Common antioxidants include vitamins A, C, and E and coenzyme Q10. Unfortunately, there is little evidence any of these products actually work. (Harman, 1968; Comfort et al., 1971; Heidrick et al., 1984; Holloszy, 1998; Saito et al., 1998).
