- Infectious DiseasesOne hundred years ago, few people lived to be 100 years old. In fact, the life expectancy of Americans born in 1900 was 47 years. Today, about 50,000 Americans are 100 or older. Life expectancy rose about 30 years during the last century in industrialized countries because of lower death rates from infectious diseases, and it probably will continue to rise. Even so, people continually seek methods to extend their own lives.

- Urinary IncontinenceAging, however, which is analogous to wisdom in many cultures, has less pleasant connotations. Links on the National Institute of Aging Web site are enough to depress anyone inching into middle age: Forgetfulness. Menopause. Urinary incontinence. Osteoporosis. Hospital hints. Constipation. Arthritis advice. Cancer facts. Early Alzheimer's disease. Planning for long-term care.
- Macular DegenerationHer eyesight got worse and she was scheduled for a second operation as her eyesight was rapidly dimming due to the onset of "macular degeneration."
- CataractsNatural substances that may help prevent disease. They fight harmful molecules called oxygen free radicals, which are created by the body as cells produce energy. Free radicals also come from smoking, radiation, sunlight and other environmental factors. Some studies show that antioxidants help prevent heart disease, some cancers, cataracts and other health problems. Most experts think the best way to get these vitamins is by eating fruits and vegetables rather than by taking vitamin pills.
- Internal Medicine, of Pompano Beach, Florida, Chief of the Department of Medicine at Broward General Hospital, certified as a diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians, is a prime example of how a good doctor reacts once his interest is high enough to do his own first hand chelation research rather than just accept blindly the medical party line.
- UrologyYoung John, just emerging from a surgical residency in urology, responded predictably. "Forget it. it's quackery. if it was any good, wouldn't I have heard of it? Wouldn't the medical journals publish reports on a marvelous way to reverse atherosclerosis? Wouldn't doctors be using it?"
- Prostate CancerEqual rights for men is on its way. Because male menopause was not taken seriously until very recently, there have been few double-blind trials of testosterone replacement therapy compared with estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) in women. The studies that have been done tend to bear out that testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is as potent in its anti-aging effects as estrogen and progesterone replacement in women. Contrary to previously held belief that testosterone increases risk of heart disease and prostate problems in men, new studies show that testosterone replacement therapy lowers the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer as well as decreasing insulin resistance in diabetes.

- PsychiatryFollowing his father's example, Clif Arrington completed medical school in 1973. Then he expanded his medical knowledge studying psychiatry where he observed that some patients labeled 'mentally ill' were in fact suffering from diet related mind altering disorders.

- EndocrinologyIn 1994, the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism published the first placebo-controlled human study examining the therapeutic effects of DHEA replacement therapy. ("Placebo-controlled" means that some participants received DHEA, while others received fake pills.) The DHEA-takers had more energy, slept better, and handled stress better than the placebo-takers. The researchers concluded that "DHEA will improve the quality of life over a longer period and will postpone some of the unpleasant effects of aging, such as fatigue and muscle weakness."

- Diabetic Retinopathy"It was 1982, and my father, 70 years old at the time, was a diabetic, suffering from diabetic retinopathy, and had already lost one foot because of gangrene and was facing the loss of the other. A physician himself, he knew the prognosis was not good. I called a nurse in Indiana who knew a lot about alternative medicine, and asked her what we could do. She recommended chelation and I say 'what's that?'
- ChemotherapyLupus is commonly treated using immunosuppressive steroids and cancer chemotherapy agents. The treatment damages the immune system and thus undermines the healing process. Its side effects can be worse than the disease itself.
- Gangrene"I was a resident in a New York hospital when a patient with a blue leg and gangrene of the toes and foot, was scheduled for amputation. When he told us he was going to get chelated instead, we warned him that it was bunk, and advised against it. He got chelated anyhow, and weeks later came back with the leg healed, and just lorded it over us.
- Plastic SurgeryAging can now be delayed and even reversed. Studies have shown that Biomarkers of Aging (strength, reaction time, skin elasticity, vital capacity, concentration, memory, bone density, visual accommodation, hearing, tactile sense, and others) can be reversed 10-20 years. Patients experience 1% gain in lean muscle mass per month and 2% loss of body fat per month. Skin wrinkles and age spots disappear. "It's like plastic surgery from the inside-out". Sexual vitality returns. We anticipate that with HGH replacement along with other indicated hormone replacement including nutrition and exercise, that we can now expect to live to the age of 125 in excellent health.

- LesionsDHEA level was shown to correlate with the degree of atherosclerosis in 200 men and women undergoing coronary angiography, in a study by David Herrington, M.D., of Bowman Gray School of Medicine of Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, which was published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. He found that as DHEA levels went up, coronary artery disease (as measured by the frequency and severity of arterial lesions) went down.
