ANTI-AGING PROTOCOL WITH HUANG QI INJECTIONS

(ASTRAGALUS MEMBRANACEUS)


 

Text Box:  Introduction: The cause of body exhaustion (lack of energy) can have many reasons: lack of sleep, poor nutrition, overexposure to toxic agents, and illnesses. However, cellular deterioration is also a mayor cause of energy deficiency and chronic illnesses. 

Modern science has taken big strides in the advancement of health care, not only in terms of treatments and procedures, but also in preventing illnesses and improving longevity and quality of life. No long ago, a big discovery took place: it was shown that the chromosomes are protected by the telomeres and the telomerase enzyme. This extraordinary discovery clarified and confirmed a close association between the length of the telomeres and the functional quality and longevity of our cells. For their discovery, the scientists
 Elizabeth H. Blackburn, Carol W. Greider and Jack W. Szostak, received the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology, 2009.

 

Text Box:

Text Box:  Knowing that the telomeres’ length impact directly the functioning and the longevity of our cells was a big stride toward understanding the aging process and achieving improvements in that direction. Back then, there was still no a known substance with proven effectiveness that could be used to preserve and improve the health and the length of the telomeres. Later as a fusion of science and tradition, it was discovered that Astragaloside IV, an ingredient in the root of Astragalus membranaceus, protects and helps to regenerate the telomeres.  That discovery presented other challenges: the root of Astragalus membranaceus has only small amount of Astragaloside IV, and it is poorly absorbed in the digestive tract. Then modern Traditional Chinese Medicine solved such a difficult dilemma.    Contact

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Astragalus membranaceus root has been used since ancient times mainly in the forms of decoctions, extracts and pills, for supporting the immune system and boosting the body's energy.  But modern TCM doctors use it in injection form to treat certain health conditions such as liver cirrhosis, immunodeficiency, chemotherapy-induced immunosuppression, kidney deficiency, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.  Astragalus in injection form has a highest concentration of Astragaloside IV, and since it is administered directly into the body (bypassing the GI tract), its bioavailability is assured.

Indication: The cellular anti-aging protocol with Astragalus injections is intended to improve cellular health and functions, benefiting not only the body's external (esthetical aspects) but also the internal organs. Astragalus injection protocol boosts the body's stamina and benefits general health and longevity.

Note: No all treatment protocols are appropriate for everyone or every case. The treatment protocol is indicated and adjusted according to the individual health needs of each person.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a professional health care system. It is highly recommended to consult a licensed health care provider knowledgeable in the use of herbal medicine, before using any herbal product for health care.

The Astragalus injection anti-aging protocol is available at our clinic in Miami.  Contact
