Explains Ronald Klatz, MD, DO, A4M President: “Twenty years ago – when the A4M was established in 1992 – I did not envision how far the anti-aging medical movement would succeed. Our forward-thinking physicians have pioneered numerous safe and effective, non-toxic, natural therapies ranging from vitamins to growth factors. Our ultimate goal of dramatic life extension, and the youthful prolongation of lifespan, is drawing near, thanks to stem cell research, genetic engineering, artificial organs, DNA repair technologies: any one of these biomedical technologies may deliver dramatic enhancements in extending both the human healthspan and lifespan.” Adds Robert Goldman, MD, PhD, DO, FAASP, A4M Chairman: “The A4M has been a major force in advancing the medical specialty worldwide, responsible for positioning the anti-aging clinical medical specialty as a leading innovative paradigm for healthcare in the aging nations around the world. The A4M’s co-sponsored educational programs in anti-aging/regenerative medicine have an expansive global reach: at this Winter 2011 Session of the 19th Annual World Congress, over 100 speakers, many of whom are world-renowned in their area of specialization, spoke on a broad array of topics in aging intervention.”
The Winter 2011 Session of the 19th Annual World Congress presented scientific educational programming in some of the most promising arenas of preventive medicine. With presentations sharing the newest breakthroughs in laboratory diagnostics, nutritional and hormone therapies, stem cell technology, and molecular medicine, the event offers a broad range of topics that are specifically relevant to the practice of anti-aging medicine in the clinical office setting. Many of the subjects showcased innovations with vast potential to reshape advanced preventative medicine in this next decade, namely: |
