China's Anti-Aging Revolution http://MyLongLife.com/articles/China-Anti-...-Revolution.htm MYLONGLIFE.COM,
LONDON, Nov. 24 -- One of the most ancient medical systems on Earth is
embracing the most modern and advanced, as China rushes to adopt the
anti-aging medical paradigm. The dramatic thrust is being driven by the
Chicago-based American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine ( A4M,
http://www.worldhealth.net/
), and culminated just weeks ago in a huge medical show, as Shanghai
hosted over 20,000 physicians and medical industry specialists at the
World Anti-Aging Congress and China Pharma Exposition.
According
to Dr. Robert Goldman, Chairman of the Board of the A4M, who gave the
keynote speech to the gathered medical pioneers, Chinese investors
expect in next five years to build over 10,000 anti-aging hospitals,
elite medical spas, Olympic-level sports medicine facilities, and
anti-aging out-patient health check clinics. It's a new era for Chinese
medicine, further exemplified by the recent decision of China's
government and military authorities to translate into Chinese over 30
different anti-aging medical books authored or co-authored by Dr.
Goldman and colleague, Dr. Ronald Klatz, President of the A4M.
The
globe-trotting Dr. Goldman is the world's foremost ambassador for the
anti-aging revolution. Hard on the heels of the Shanghai event, he was
soon in Dong Guan addressing over 20,000 members of the public and
representative heads of over 1,500 hospitals and medical centers. They
were among physicians, scientists and hospital principals meeting to
advance anti-aging medicine at the China Health Industry Forum
sponsored by the China Medical Association.
Both these events
had the official backing of the Chinese government, the China
Pharmaceutical Association, the China Medical Association, and many
other national level Chinese medical organizations. The A4M and the
Goldman/Klatz co-founded Medical Conferences International Inc.( MCII
), now have a long-term agreement with the Chinese government and the
China FDA to annually co-venture the huge China Pharma conference.
London-based Tarsus Group PLC (
http://www.tarsus-group.com/ ) last year took an 80% stake in MCII.
The
A4M, Tarsus and MCII have close to 30 international co-sponsored events
set for 2008, making this the fastest international growth seen by any
medical group in history. The A4M already oversees the ongoing training
of over 60,000 physicians and surgeons on-site, and the education of
500,000 health professionals globally through international outreach
programs. Business Communications Co., Inc. says that the anti-aging
marketplace is growing yearly by 9.5% and will top $70 billion annually
by 2009.
Earlier this year Tarsus, Goldman and Klatz formed a new global anti-aging investment company, CapRegen PLC (
http://www.capregen.com/
). The CapRegen IPO raised US$7.4 million, before expenses, to a total
share capital of US$11 million, as smart money drove the IPO issue
shares up by 27% on the first day of trading.
But China's over
one billion consumers could well further accelerate this growth and
become the new global powerhouse of anti-aging medicine. The A4M
principals, Drs. Goldman and Klatz have been tirelessly advocating
since 1992 for a fundamental change in medicine's orientation towards
disease. They have been harshly critical of an entrenched western
gerentological medical mindset, which tends to see disease in old age
as more inevitable than preventible. But these largely western social
and cultural attitudes are not so entrenched in China. This explains
the phenomonal surge of Chinese interest in the anti-aging approach
which the A4M is engendering.
Addressing the recent Forbes
Global CEO Conference in Singapore, Dr Goldman briefed the world's top
business leaders about how emerging biomedical technologies such as
stem cell therapy, nanotechnology, genetic engineering, gene therapy
and even the development of bioidentical replacement organs, mean we
now stand on the brink of a golden age of greatly extended human
longevity. His collegue Dr. Klatz, who coined the very term
"anti-aging," last year told Business Week that one day it will be
considered malpractice for a physician not to do what anti-aging
physicians are already doing today.
For over a decade, the A4M
have held Board Certification exams and training programs for the
medical speciality of Anti-Aging & Regenerative Medicine, as well
as Fellowship training. Over 2,500 medical specialists are in various
phases of the Certiification process. In addition the Academy is also
accrediting anti-aging medical centers, hospital and medical spas
through the newly established World Council on Clinical Accreditation.
Even
as they take their message to the world, Drs. Goldman and Klatz, along
with other pioneering anti-aging physicians, recently announced a
US$1Million life extension cash prize for the first scientist or team
who can reliably show significant reversal or halting of aging in
humans. The LEx Prize (
http://www.a4minfo.net/lexprize
) will be awarded for a therapeutic program which reduces objective,
measurable biomarkers of aging, including mitrochondrial energy
production, cortisol levels, DNA repair, cardiac output, memory and
cognitive function.
The cumulative effect on human lifespan,
which the anti-aging revolution offers, can be seen in a free, online
Lifespan Test, developed in association with Dr. Klatz, Dr. Goldman and
a team of scientists.

The
interactive test encourages a life extension lifestyle and graphically
shows the dramatic increase in longevity which will be delivered by
appropriate nutrition and exercise, supported by current and expected
biomedical advances. The test shows that a lifespan of 120 years and
more can optimally be achieved.
