Warren M. Levin, MD, long known as "The Dean of Alternative Medicine" in New York has moved to a new office in Vienna, VA. Did you know that Dr. Levin was one of the first seven physicians in the country to be Board-certified by the International Board of Advanced Longevity Medicine, and served several years as one of the examining physicians for that organization? Or that starting in 2000, he was the Principal Investigator in a nationwide, multi-centered, I.R.B.-approved research study (over 150 practitioners) on the use of Human Growth Hormone in healthy aging adults?
Although Life Expectancy has increased dramatically, the quality of life in the aging population has seriously declined. Our bodies are all challenged by the enormous changes in our environment - pollution; reduced soil quality, the Food Technology Industry which has succeeded in fooling our senses into thinking that chemicals are better than Nature’s harvest; the artificial fertilizers that maximize yield-per-acre at the expense of nutritional value of our crops; pesticides; fungicides; preservatives, have created deficiencies of critical nutrients in our food supply. Adulterated farm animal diets, supplemented by antibiotics, hormones, and forced feeding – with simultaneous restriction of normal activity of our livestock – create abnormal animal fats in excess quantities, that are loaded with thousands of chemicals that were unknown on the planet 50 years ago. As we age, they accumulate in our bodies as well.
In addition, we are besieged by toxic wastes, indoor chemical pollution and heavy metal poisons such as lead, mercury, cadmium and aluminum - all of which overload our metabolic machinery for detoxification, and trigger free radical reactions that damage our organs and our genes.
Senescence - the process of aging - is accompanied by a "loss of organ reserve capacity" throughout the body. Muscles weaken, glands reduce secretions, digestion is impaired (further reducing our nutritional state), memory and concentration decline, and sexual functions diminish.
If professional athletes are "over the hill" at 35, where will YOU be at 40? 50? 65? 85?
The exciting news is that there are new techniques that can add years to your life and life to your years. Good nutrition, exercise, detoxification, supplements, antioxidants, stress reduction, chelation therapy, and hormone replacement/enhancement (including BIOIDENTICAL Testosterone, Estrogen & Progesterone, Adrenal, Thyroid and Human Growth Hormone) are major techniques for rebalancing and rejuvenating the aging body.
There is no better return on any investment than good health and a high level quality of life that results in fulfilling the maxim of Dr. Ivan Popov - a pioneer in Longevity Medicine, and a mentor to Dr. Levin:
Wouldn't it be great if we could all die young...late in life!
