| As a vascular surgeon, I deal with the ravages of age on a daily bases. Arterial blockages are known by various names including PAD (peripheral arterial disease), PVD (peripheral vascular disease). Arterial blockages can lead to stroke, heart attack, kidney failure and limb loss. Preventing arterial aging is one of the most important things you can do to live a longer life with higher quality. The good thing is that there are measureable ways to reliably slow the aging process One of the most important markers for arterial aging is –Blood Presure ... |

| As a primary care physician for the past 13 years, I have seen and heard just about everything. As the family doctor, I am given the responsibility to help my patients live better and stay healthy, but what has happened with managed care, is I have less and less time to spend with each person. I have five minutes, may be 10 minutes max to see someone, which is barely enough time to address their top concern, so the things that I believe can make the most difference in your life-wellness and prevention are never addressed. I have become so ... |

| More than 85% of Americans suffered from acne sometime in their life. It can occur anywhere on the body but typically affects the face, neck, chest, shoulders, and back. Acne affects all ages with the teenage years being the most common. However, the disease is not restricted to any age group. Acne is very frustrating for my patients. They are just surprised that it just never goes away! Acne left untreated can cause scarring which for most of us last, for a very long time. Acne is caused by inflammation in the sebaceous glands. The different terms that doctors use, ... |

| Acne treatment varies depending on the severity and skin type.Mild acne is defined as involving less than 1/4 of the face with some pustules, papules, and black and whiteheads. Generally, these patients can obtain a decent response using mild over the counter products such as Benzoyl peroxide 5-10% to control outbreaks. Usually, by the time I see patients, they have already tried it, failed it, and are on Pro-Active! Pro-active works on mild acne but does not seem to work for more severe cases and or causes too much dryness.For mild acne, I personally like to use the Neostrata Antibacterial ... |

| Most people can relate to spots and scars which can occur anywhere on the body. Spots and scars are due to any injury on the skin. It can be from acne, sun damage, an infection (such as a boil, severe dry skin from eczema, psoriasis), skin conditions that causes ulcerations and patches, bug bites, ingrown hairs, picking at the skin, etc. There are so many reasons I can't list them all but you get the picture. The skin got hurt and it left a mark. This happens because when the skin is injured, cells that provide color in our skin ... |

| As a vascular surgeon, I am generally at the opposite end of the patient care cycle. That is, I see patients after all of the ravages of diet, behaviors and genetics have operated in concert to take their toll on an individual's health system. Common disorders that I see include carotid artery stenosis which may cause stroke in the undiagnosed and untreated state, kidney failure and its complications, aneurysmal change of the aorta and peripheral vascular disease which can cause one to have pain when ambulating and in its more severe form amputation of the leg. The most benign disorder ... |

| Its my belief that this group probably has some genetic resistance and no environmental insult could change that...On the other end is the 20 year old woman with breast cancer or the 20 year old man with testicular cancer. Clearly this individual represents a person who was prone to some genetic mishap regardless of the environmental issues.
