> I have never heard of a "anti aging dr." I would love to see one. Are they expensive? Where I live I'm lucky just to find a GP. I wonder how my healthcare would cover anti-aging? Don't they want us to die so they can cut costs?
Lol..Or the pharmaceutical companies what us to live longer just maintaining and sustaining on their medications. Also, If we are healthier as we live longer, insurance companies will not have to pay as much for medications, surgeries, and cancer treatments, so anti-aging might be in their best interest.
Where do you live? There are doctors out there that focus on anti-aging. And I bet many of them would try to come up with a medical reason for their treatments to increase chances of insurance covering them. Then again, maybe not. It would be pretty hard to convince insurance companies to cover the use of a high quality resveratrol(at least until GSK comes out with theirs) or testosterone replacement. I think soon the evidence for the health benefits of testosterone replacement will be strong enough that insurance companies may begin to cover it. Unfortunately right now it can be pretty expensive. I think the benefit of seeing an anti-aging doctors is that they have extensive knowledge of treatments and supplements that can be beneficial to fighting aging. The only treatment I would be weary of is human growth hormone. I just think there is too much evidence that HGH replacement can contribute to cancer proliferation.
