After hearing about Tiger Woods and his marriage blow up, there is a silver lining in all the gossip.  Tiger recently had a knee operation and was given an injection of his own blood products to help him recover faster.  The medicine is very cutting edge, the science has become very proven and the technique super sophisticated.  Platelet Rich Plasma, “PRP” is your own blood plasma with highly concentrated platelets. Platelets are part of your blood system are a specialized type of blood cell involved in injury healing. Platelets also contain large reservoirs of natural growth factors. While a normal concentration of platelets circulating in your blood is 200,000 per micro liter, the platelet count in Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) can exceed 2 million platelets per micro liter. To be considered Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) the platelet count must be 4x or greater above the normal concentration.  PRP has got all the good healing things your body needs to regenerate and repair tissue, and with our highly refined technique, we just can localize the injury and inject it right where it needs to go.  As well, the serum has stem cells in it, which travel in the blood stream in minute quantities, these are concentrated too.  Think of it as “baby stem cell therapy”!

We know from the oldest documented human records, the human lifespan is 126 years of age.  We also know that the current average human life expectancy is 76 years of age. Why does the human age range vary so much?  It really based on your genes, or your DNA. (more…)

The American health care reform debate rages on in Washington and it seemed that the entire country had something to say.  We saw town hall meetings erupt into bedlam with older folks and pensioners being man handled by thugs in black riot gear.  Yes, we are upset and this topsy-turvy year in Washington brought one aspect of the reform package to light.  Really what amounted to a pact with the devil, Senate members have approved and upheld the deal Democratic leaders cut earlier this year with the drug industry (PHARMA) to forgo some $80 billion in revenue over the next decade.  To put the savings in perspective, $80 billion dollars shaved off ten years of drug company profits is like buying a new $ 80,000 Mercedes and getting $100 in “free” gas; it really doesn’t bring anyone savings, it’s just window dressing for a much larger and insidious problem.
