LIVE UNTIL 99 WORK UNTIL 80

 Welcome to the medicine of the new Millennium.  By now most adults over the age of forty have surely heard of human Growth Hormone (hGH) but what they may have heard may not necessarily be the facts.  Here’s what ICAM thinks you should know………..

 If you want to look and feel younger hGH is certainly something to consider. HGH has proven time and again for many, can erase years off an aging body.  But is it right for you?

 Don’t base your decision on its remarkable cosmetic and aesthetic benefits of looking younger with less wrinkles, more muscle mass and less body fat.  Rather explore the other health promoting benefits that HGH has to offer such as increased energy, improved memory, boosting the immune system as well as lowering blood pressure and restoring youth to all tissues of the body.

 By enrolling in an ICAM  H.E.A.R.T. program (Hormone, Endocrine, and Anti-Aging Replacement Therapy) you will be offered the chance to relive your youth but this time with brains to go with the brawn –since “you know now what you wish you did then”.

 H.E.A.R.T. is a comprehensive and reasonably affordable program that is designed to adapt to and complement but not necessarily replace other treatment modalities that you may currently be receiving from other medical providers.  In many cases however the need for prescriptive drugs is reduced or eliminated thus minimizing the risks and complications often seen with long-term medication usage.  It involves the balancing of all the major hormones within the body including the adrenal, thyroid, sex hormones and growth hormone.

 Baby boomer’s, this is our chance to avoid or get out of that midlife crisis rut known as menopause (in women) and andropause (in men).  Medical statistics are showing that we are living longer while at the same time the country’s economic statistics are showing that we are retiring without enough money to support our families and that we cannot sustain our current financial burden let alone plan for our future hard earned, well deserved lifestyles.  The federal government tax funds that we have been paying into for the past 30 to 40 years will be exhausted before we reach retirement thus depriving us of what we thought would help protect our personal life savings.  Social security and Medicare will soon become a vision of the past and we will be forced to continuing working or live in poverty.  For this reason alone we must take action and live a healthier life so that we may be financially productive into our late seventies and eighties.  So remember, when your doctor tells you that you will live into your nineties, there is bad news that goes with along with that good news.  You must work until you’re eighty!

 With healthier food choices, exercise, improved sleep and reduced stress along with other lifestyle changes, a H.E.A.R.T. program can change the course of the rest of your life.  Don’t wait until you are already suffering the ills of aging- act now.  “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”  And remember……..if you ignore your health it will leave you.  

  Be Well.

Yours in Health,

 Mark James Bartiss, MD
