Here's the good news: It's not an either/or scenario.

Antiaging medicine aims to stay a step or two ahead of sickness and disease; it also works at toxic avoidance and detoxification, knowing that toxins create malfunctioning cells and cell death is the gradual end to us as a species. It's that serious. I am a great admirer of antiaging medicine...it appeals to my common sense. Drugs will never heal; they abate. Restorative treatment as practiced in antiaging medicine approaches the body with true healing in mind.
