Anti-Aging Medicine Continues Expansive Surge in Popularity in 2001
Scientific Breakthroughs Herald a Profound Medical Revolution Attendance at December 2000 A4M Conference Shatters Previous Records
More than 3,300 of the world’s most innovative physicians and scientists convened at the Eighth International Congress on Anti-Aging and Biomedical Technologies, held 15-17 Dec. 2000. Across the three-day event that included more than forty presentations, internationally renown researchers and clinicians met in a forum of educational exchange to share their latest discoveries and observations that, ultimately, will help each of us live longer and better lives.
Among the scientific and medical phenomena unveiled at the Eighth Congress that are projected to revolutionize the delivery of healthcare and, as a result, improve the quality and extend the quantity of the human lifespan:
- Nanobots, fleets of microscopic robots that are programmed to identify disease sites and administer treatment targeted to the affected cells Time until full clinical application: 3 years.
- Biochips, silicon-based medical devices that deliver the capacity for the very earliest detection of disease, and highly targeted treatment: Time until full clinical application: less than 2 years.
- Rapid, non-invasive total body scanning, enabling the complete evaluation of the functional capacity of the body’s cells, tissues, and organs in a procedure that takes less than six minutes. Time until full clinical application: 2-3 years.
Clearly, advances made in the year 2000 are repaving the already short route to practical immortality — human lifespans of 150 . Remarks Dr. Klatz, “What was speculative technology just five years ago is now medical reality, and realization of the full implications of many advancements is now a mere 1-2 years away. This is a strikingly profound alteration of the course of humankind’s arrival at practical immortality. Each of us alive today now has a real chance to live, and live well, at age 150.”
The New Faces of Clinical Healthcare
A4M took the opportunity to survey the standing-room only crowd present at the Opening Remarks session at the Eighth International Congress on Anti-Aging and Biomedical Technologies to garner the personal opinions of today’s clinicians and researchers in antiaging medicine.
A4M’s physician and scientist audience predictions for their personal life span show a remarkable enthusiasm for this clinical specialty:
When asked about their pursuit of anti-aging medicine:
- 40% of A4M’s physician and scientist audience have integrated anti-aging medicine in their practices
- 70% are practicing anti-aging medicine on themselves
Certainly, health-conscious consumers would eagerly wish to be matched with a physician who makes a commitment to living, and practicing, ways in which to live longer and better. The A4M provides an interactive Physician and Practitioner Locator at The World Health Network, www.worldhealth.net — the Internet’s #1 anti-aging portal.
Market Projections for 2001
Across an international patient base representative of the A4M’s active membership of physicians and health practitioners, the Academy predicts the following worldwide spending in anti-aging clinical care in 2001:
Office consultations:
$262.5 Million
Laboratory testing:
$525 Million
Vitamin purchases:
$105 Million
Fitness equipment purchases:
$17.5 Million
Cosmetics purchases:
$63 Million
Total worldwide physician/health practitioner administered anti-aging medical therapeutics: $973 Million*
* In addition, $5 Billion in nutritionals — or an estimated 20% of the $20 Billion/year market segment — can be attributed to anti-aging use.
Of the A4M physicians and scientists attending the Eighth International Congress:
- 90% expect to live to age 85
- 80% expect to live to age 120 age 100
- 50% expect to live to 120
- 10% expect to live to age 150
* As a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization, the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) is the only non-profit, non-commercial, medical society in the world devoted to eradicating the degenerative diseases of aging. Since its inception seven years ago, the A4M is the first scientific nonprofit medical society to have forecast the deliverance of human lifespans in excess of 100 years. The 10,000 physician, scientist, and health practitioner members of the A4M are forging a profound healthcare paradigm shift that alleviates the mounting social, economic, and medical woes otherwise anticipated to arrive with the rapidly growing volume of an aging population. The A4M sponsors The World Health Network, the Internet’s #1 anti-aging portal, at www.worldhealth.net, as part of its mission of promoting advocacy and awareness of this new clinical science.
