Skin care creams are not just for women anymore. More and more men are taking advantage of the efficacy of skin care products in order to turn back the hands of time and make themselves look like they are in their 20′s, or 30′s. But the kings, or more to the point – queens, of skin care creams are women. Women use skin cream every day of their lives and each time they emerge from their showers, they love to moisturize and keep their bodies smooth and supple.

Moisturizing is one of the single best things you can do for your skin as you grow older. After age 25, your body stops producing as many new cells as your cells die off. The result is a deficit in new cells which eventually leads to age related maladies. The skin is no different. So keeping the cells moisturized means that you will keep the skins cells from being damaged and replaced as easily and you will keep your skin looking younger, longer.

Exfoliating is also a means to remove the dead skin cells from your skin.

Even with moisturizing everyday the outer layer of skin will still end up dying off as you age. Removing these cells means that you will remove the skin that makes you look older and also causes sagging and wrinkles.

Keeping your skin moisturized and exfoliated on a regular basis will go a long way to help you look younger and feel better. You will enjoy the new you if you keep your skin looking new also.

Concierge medicine has many stigma’s that have been following it since its inception out of Seattle in the 90′s, and many, if not all, of those stigma’s are nothing more than urban myths. With the death of Elizabeth Edwards, and the renewed focus in the media on women’s health issues, we wanted to take a look at how women’s health is an integral part of concierge medicine.

A new report that was released yesterday by the National Women’s Law Center has a lot of perplexed at the results. Women in the U.S. are binge drinking more often, getting less PAP smears, and are more obese and at risk for diabetes than ever before. The U.S.

got an ‘unsatisfactory’ grade from the Law Center.

According to WebMD, several disturbing health trends have emerged over the last three years, including:

The percentage of women that reported one or more episodes of binge drinking within a month of being questioned increased to 10.6% from 7.3% in 2007. Binge drinking was defined as having five or more drinks on a single occasion.
The percentage of women that reported getting annual Pap smears declined from 86% to 78% during the same period.
The percentage of women that tested positive for the sexually transmitted infection chlamydia increased from 6.3% to 7.4%.

Compared to three years ago, a higher percentage of women in the U.S. are also obese and have high blood pressure and/or diabetes.

In 2010, 26.4% of women were obese, compared to 24% in 2007. Both figures fall far short of the goal of a 15% obesity rate by 2010 set by government health officials at the beginning of the decade.

An even more disturbing trend regarding women’s health is that 12% of Americans live in areas that are considered medically underserved, with Louisiana at the top of that list.

So what is this saying about our health care system and its ability to serve women’s needs? It’s not saying much, and what it is saying it not good at all. In many cases, the woman of the household is the caretaker, and when she gets sick the entire family dynamic changes leaving others in the family vulnerable to sickness as well.

What is interesting about this report is that as this report emerged, there was another report from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that appeared in the journal Health Affairs that showed as women age, they spend more on health services. According to ModernHelathCare.com, among the elderly, women accounted for 61% of all healthcare spending, and women’s out-of-pocket per-capita costs were 50% higher than that of elderly men. Elderly women also spent more on prescription drugs: ,703 per capita for women compared to ,364 per capita for elderly men. The authors attributed greater healthcare spending by elderly women to their longer life expectancy.

Where does this all leave concierge medicine? It’s common knowledge that a mother will tend to her family and children before herself, and if a fever hits or symptoms occur during after-hours, or if appointments interfere with daily life and hectic schedules, women will avoid rocking the boat and will disregard crucial health care issues. Concierge medicine offers women the opportunity to continue with their hectic schedules and meet with their doctor when they have time, not when their doctor has time. It’s a health care alternative that meets the needs of the patients first, no matter what time of day or night, and this system appeals to mothers and busy heads of households.

Alternative medicine does no harm, first and foremost. It’s less expensive, has no costly side effects, in most cases gets better results, and can put the tools for rejuvenation, longevity, and robust good health in your hands. It can also help keep the U.S. from going bankrupt over a trillion-plus annual medical bill.

The Writing Is On The Wall

It’s visible in such large letters these days that you can’t even see the wall anymore. What does it say? That conventional medicine is not adhering to its most important directive: first, do no harm. We see the evidence in national newspapers every day. The formidable conventional medicine establishment is caving in from the weight of its own greed, ignorance, and medical mistakes. It is also harming many people and the American economy in the process.

I’ve been studying the newspapers every day and here are some of my gleanings:

50,000 American women are retaining lawyers for a probable class action suit against Wyeth-Ayerst, makers of the Norplant contraceptive patch. The women are complaining of headaches, weight gain, joint pains, strokes, paralysis, and other ills.
Complications and side effects from prescription drugs and prescribing errors cost the nation billion annually; of this, .4 billion a year goes for 8.7 million hospital admissions to treat prescription drug-related problems.
Last year 6 million people received 87.3 million prescriptions for Procardia and Adalat (calcium channel blockers) to treat high blood pressure and angina; now experts believe these FDA-approved drugs might cause heart attacks.
Even though 2 million people are dying from tuberculosis every year and 1.75 billion people, worldwide, are presumed infected, big drug companies are unwilling to develop any new drugs because there isn’t enough profit in it for them.
A New York surgeon consulted the wrong x-rays of a patient then mistakenly operated on the healthy lobe of a cancer patient’s brain.
California medical authorities seized a 6-year-old California boy (whose mother had been treating his leukemia with herbs) and forced him to undergo chemotherapy.
A California woman received a million settlement after she was left blind, paralyzed, and mute after a routine diagnostic test.
The U. S. Justice Department filed charges against doctors and hospitals in Danbury, Connecticut, for conspiring to fix prices to keep out lower-priced managed-care companies.

The list grows every day

Do you get the picture? The FDA is supposed to look after our health, but it’s clear they abandoned that charter a long time ago. They have everything backwards.

They approve Norplant, calcium channel blockers, and silicone breast implants (which, within only a few years of approval, become gravely dangerous to health), and they harass consumers, suppress information, and confiscate herbs, amino acids, and vitamins, which have never been shown to be bad for health.

According to a study released by the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) in Washington, D.C., the FDA may be the cancer patient’s worst enemy. Oncologists polled believe that cancer patients will die because doctors cannot learn of new, effective treatments as a result of FDA’s heavy-handedness about the spread of information.

The free flow of information about new techniques, substances, and treatments is not only the key to health, it is the only way we will rejuvenate the American medical system. “First, do no harm” means let’s have informed doctors and patients, and to get that we need to urge Congress to rein in the FDA.

Alternative medicine does no harm. It costs less, has no costly side effects, in most cases gets better results, and can put the tools for rejuvenation, longevity, and robust good health in your hands. It can also help keep the U.S. from going bankrupt over a trillion-plus annual medical bill.

So arm yourself with the life-saving information on my site and start rejuvenating today. It won’t harm you a bit.
