Short description
The book suggests how you can cut your risk of dying from degenerative diseases and give yourself the chance of not just a longer life but a better quality of life. The book provides a background discussion on danger signs of ageing and their remedies. It examines exciting new research evidence in the anti-ageing field involving a new understanding of what goes on deep inside the human cells that causes you to grow old prematurely. It also examines scientific evidence on how radiation from mobile phones could cause age-related damage to your health and how to protect yourself from the effects of such radiation. Your will read about hormonal imbalance in relation to premature ageing. The information on current treatment to maintain hormonal balance is a synthesis of the consolidated findings of many world class organisations committed to anti-ageing research. You will also read about current breakthroughs in the application of cloning and stem cell technology to the treatment of ageing diseases, and about ethical obstacles to the methods. The writers view is that for the technologies to realise its full potentials, both scientific and ethical problems must be overcome. Finally, you will read about the importance of vitamins and minerals, water, salt and physical exercise. The book concludes with recommendations on how to maintain general good health and prevent degenerative diseases by taking a broad spectrum of multi-vitamins and minerals, eating healthy diet, doing sensible daily exercises and learning good stress management.
Long description
The capacity to enjoy life well into your old age is sometimes denied by all kinds of degenerative diseases. Regrettably, the information you need to enable you to prevent these diseases is found in hundreds of scientific papers that are not easily accessible to the general public. The result is that most people suffer from these diseases and die prematurely while knowledge of how to prevent or cure their condition already exists. For the first time, the work of many world scientists concerned with the causes and preventions of degenerative diseases of ageing have been put together in a single book, and I hope you will find it useful in your quest for good health and an increased life span.
Dr. Ronald Klatz D.O. (M.D.), the founder and president of the American Academy of Anti-Ageing Medicine in Chicago, ,USA an organisation that trains physicians in anti-ageing medicine, and author of Grow Young with HGH (Harper Perennial, 1998), stated that “ageing as we know it is really a constellation of degenerative processes that lead to chronic disease and finally to death.” He added that “you can prevent and treat the conditions of ageing like osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease, macular degeneration, and cognitive decline. And by treating them, you change how you can expect to look like at age 50 or 90 and by improving the quality of life and avoiding activities or food, for example things that are going to kill you, such as those causing heart disease and cancer, you live longer.”
Similarly, Jean Carper, a leading authority on health and nutrition, and the author of numerous books, including Stop Ageing Now, explains that the “ravages of ageing are not inevitable and in fact, can be prevented or reversed”. Citing Dr. Irwin H. Rosenberg of the Department of Agriculture’s Human Nutrition Research Centre, United States, Jean further explains that most diseases associated with ageing can be prevented or reversed with the help of vitamins.
Dr. Paul Clayton, a research director of practitioner training at the Royal College of General Practitioners, a senior lecturer at the Institute of Optimum Nutrition at the University of Middlesex and author of many books, including Health Defence, wrote that “very few people, perhaps 1 in 10,000, die of old age. The vast majority of us sicken and die prematurely, picked off by natural causes long before our biological life span has run its course”.
In other words, chances are the majority of us will die from degenerative diseases before our biological age runs out. The term “degenerative diseases” has been used as a medical term to describe progressive diseases of the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). In this book, the term has been loosely applied to numerous severe health conditions associated with ageing. Many of the health conditions have been implicated in the majority of all deaths through natural causes. Deaths by natural causes are deaths caused by naturally occurring diseases (see online encyclopedia, Wikipedia).
To the best of my knowledge, there is no recorded evidence of death from old age; the majority of deaths are due to natural causes. The 2002 world report on Violence and Health published by the World Health Organization (WHO, Geneva) identified ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, lower respiratory infections, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer, atherosclerosis and diabetes as among the 10 major causes of death in all 38 of its member states in the mid-1990s. Dr. Clayton, cited earlier, stated that, if you can cut your risk of dyeing from these degenerative diseases, you automatically give yourself the chance of not just a longer life but a longer quality of life. The information on how to cut the risks of dyeing from degenerative diseases is contained in hundreds of medical discoveries and trials published in internationally recognised scientific journals on which this book is based.
This book presents the findings of studies of the present state of knowledge regarding the causes and preventions of degenerative diseases of ageing using evidence from a systematic review of scientific literature. A systematic review as used in this book involves a formalised approach to identifying and synthesising the results of research studies, especially controlled trials, and dissemination of subsequent information for the benefit of the general public. By using this approach, it became possible to review most of the world’s best-known scientific research on methods of preventing the ravages of degenerative diseases of ageing and extension of maximum life span. The outcome of the systematic review is presented in the five chapters of this book.
