The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) is at the forefront
of a major movement in the way preventive medicine approaches aging
in the United States. As we advance toward a new era of increasingly
powerful and sophisticated medical capability, A4M is dedicated to
promoting significant, essential, and enduring advances in biomedical
technology. The physicians and scientists of A4M are committed to the
belief that aging is not inevitable. We are the vanguard in a technology
that can retard, suspend, and perhaps dramatically reverse biologic
deterioration and disease.
It is generally accepted by scientists, clinicians, and the public
that death or disability from cardiovascular disease, stroke, cancer,
diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders may be avoidable. Toward
this goal, health enthusiasts have begun reducing risk factors by
incorporating positive behaviors regarding nutrition, exercise, and
tobacco use into their daily lives. The American Academy of Anti-Aging
Medicine has progressed beyond advocating simple lifestyle change, and
is devoted to a science that optimizes the metabolic processes of life
itself.
The physicians and scientists at A4M seek to facilitate expeditious
advances in areas of longevity medicine that include genetic engineering,
hormonal replacement therapy, advanced diagnostics of preventable
disease, and the biomarkers of aging. We serve the practicing clinician
so that the multiple benefits of these life-saving and life-extending
technologies may be more rapidly available to the public. We ask of
ourselves and our colleagues open-mindedness and self-reflection,
essential qualities to the advancement of our profession.
We've gone beyond merely verbalizing ideas. We are currently
developing therapeutic protocols and innovative diagnostic tools to
aid physicians in the implementation of effective longevity treatment.
Our vision challenges the present convention of health beliefs, yet we
believe those willing to consider the new reality of Anti-Aging will
embrace this progressive approach to preventive medicine.
The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine is a non-profit organization.

A4M LOOKS TOWARD TOMORROW
At the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M), the present and the
future intersect. To commemorate the Second Annual Conference on Anti-Aging
Medicine and Biomedical Technology, the Academy is preparing a time capsule
in which conference attendees may place a self-addressed message to be mailed
back to them 50 years hence. The capsule, which will be displayed in the
shady splendor of a garden at the Alexis Park Resort, the site of this year's
symposium, will contain a video and written record of the conference as a
scientific legacy for posterity. It is intended as a monument to those
pioneers of the longevity sciences whose vision and perseverance have opened
the gateway to that most precious and fragile of human commodities... life.
