For Prevention and Quality of Life Issues.

    On December 4, 2004, the filming of the HBO documentary "Fountain of Youth, began.  Shooting on located at the 12th International Conference on Anti Aging Medicine, a forum held annually by the American Academy of Anti Aging Medicine, the Producer, Joseph Lovett began telling the story of medical advances addressing the issues of Aging.

    Presently, mid-way through 2005, Mr. Lovett has interviewed some of the most respected researchers and clinicians who are looking at the science behind the claims that hormonal replacement, nutritional supplementation, exercise and an array of alternative medicines and therapies, can possible forestall and delay the ageing process.

    Patients are presented who have had dismal responses from traditional medicine but life altering and enhancing effects from non-traditional regimens.

    Acting as the Medical Consultant/Advisor on this project, I have introduced the producer to physicians on both sides of the question; Does Anti Aging Medicine really exist? And if it does; What are the risks and benefits? 

    During the initial filming of background information on December 4, 2004, I had the honor of being filmed by HBO while giving the inaugural presentation of a seven year project titled; Testosterone, DHT, Growth Hormone, IGF-1 and the risks for Cancer; The Myth.   This presentation argued the facts and findings of over 3000 journal articles, reviews and meta-analyses, dealing with links between hormonal replacement and cancer.  The conclusion failed to categorically support any claims for a cancer association.  Nonetheless, I have continued to review newer articles looking for a confirmed link between hormonal replacement and the potential of a harmful outcome.  Nothing so far... but I keep on looking.
