The Latest in Anti-Aging Health Care Coming to China

Jan. 26, 2010 - PRLog -- International stars such as Sofia Loren, Angie Chiu, Halle Berry, George Clooney and Chow Yun Fat have long been envied for aging gracefully and beautifully, maintaining good health and physique. How do they do it? No doubt good genes play a role, but even more so do access to top quality health care, the best doctors and the latest technologies in anti-aging.

Anti-aging medicine, also known as preventative medicine, makes it possible to slow, stop and substantially reverse the physical deterioration and diseases which are commonly considered “natural” aging. Such progress allows not just for an extended existence, but for the enjoyment of optimum wellness and quality of life.

China has a great demand for this type of integrative health care.  The country’s rapid increase of health problems is related to a longer life expectancy - 81 years now in Shanghai ₁ - as well as the prevalence of chronic diseases like respiratory illnesses, cancer, and diabetes.

In China, where does one find quality anti-aging healthcare, with doctors they can trust and feel comfortable with?  Many of the more privileged have travelled abroad to seek disease prevention or beauty treatments, to countries with a long history in the anti-aging field.  For example, last year 10 Chinese women each paid 200,000 Yuan to receive treatments to extend their youth at a famous anti-aging center in Switzerland.  One of the patients stated "I believe it is worth every penny.”₂

Finally the best in luxury anti-aging healthcare is coming to China.  World Anti-Aging is the collaboration of many international physicians with years of expertise in the field of anti-aging and all of the medical disciplines that entails, as well as entrepreneurs with the experience and influence to implement the latest technologies in this field.  The first clinic was founded in Laguna Beach in 1985 by Drs Ping Wu and Shu Li.  Since then World Anti-Aging has been combining 5000 years of time proven traditional Chinese medicine with modern scientific discoveries from anti-aging experts in Switzerland and the US.

W.A. employs services which are combinations of: Nutrition - including weight loss and diet; Preventative Medicine - including risk profiling and stress management; Fitness - including rehabilitation and pain management; and Cosmetic - including surgery, dermatology and dental.

Part of W.A.’s use of the latest anti-aging technologies includes the exciting field of stem
cells.  Stem cells therapies can effectively treat many age-related diseases, including stroke, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, autism, many degrees of vision impairment, burns, scars, diabetes, cardiomyopathy and muscular dystrophy.  Chief Executive Officer for W.A., Derek Muhs, says “We have received much excitement from people around the country who have suffered from stroke or early stages of Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, or spinal cord injury.  Previously hopeless, they now have a hope for a better life.”

The W.A. team of international physicians has been educated both in China and overseas, with many years of clinical experience.  Their anti-aging wisdom combines evidence-based medicine with a holistic approach to slow the aging process and enhance vitality.   Over the last three years W.A. Chairman Dr Shu Li has been carefully hand-picking physicians who are at the forefront of anti-aging therapies to be a part of this exiting initiative in China.  These doctors are well known in their fields of expertise and have treated some of the most famous celebrities in the world.  Why come to China?  Dr Ping, Deputy Managing Director of the W.A. Medical Team, says “Our doctors have chosen to participate because China is the most exciting market in the world.”

One such doctor is Dr Mingzhe Chen, MD, PhD, Managing Director of the W.A. Medical Team.  Professor Chen is a well-known cardiovascular disease specialist, consultation expert on State Health Council, and the founder of Beijing Mingzhe Clinic.  Dr. Chen was a doctor to the legendary Kennedy family, as personal physician of US Senator Ted Kennedy.  Dr Chen is excited about using W.A.’s stem cell therapies to treat patients in his clinic, and says “Stem cell research is one of the most valuable medical practices in the world right now.”

Also looking forward to advancing anti-aging practices in China is Dr Leigh Erin Connealy, W.A.’s Integrative Medicine Specialist. A world leader in anti-aging medicine for 25 years, treating the demands of Hollywood’s rich and famous, Dr Connealy found that more and more of her patients were looking for alternative treatments. Therefore in 1992 she founded the Center for New Medicine in California, where she serves as Medical Director. Her practice is firmly based in the belief that strictly treating health problems with medications does not find the root cause of the illness.  Dr Connealy has designed an extensive product line of natural supplements for W.A.’s clients in China.

W.A.’s Chairman, Dr Shu Li, comments on the impact that anti-aging medicine has on society, stating “It is so much more than extending life.  It is extending productive life, thus greatly easing the burden on society of caring for the sick.”  Dr Li received his PhD in Applied Sciences from Harvard University, and a second PhD in Oriental Medicine from American Liberty University. He has been active in the field of anti-aging medicine for over 17 years, being the co-founder of Laguna Beach anti-aging clinic, PingClinic and founder of YoungBodyMind.com.  He is also the holder of the US patent, Negative Gravity Therapeutic Methods, an anti-aging invention, and the co-author of two books in anti-aging medicine, “PingLongevity”, and “Asian Longevity Secrets”.  

In preparation for their health-care initiatives in Greater China, W.A. has signed an agreement with the government of Wuxi, to secure space in Wuxi’s Life Science and Technology Industrial Park.₃ The property will house research & development, manufacturing and storage of the W.A. Stem Cell product lines.  Also located in Wuxi will be the head office of W.A.’s Biotech division, and the W.A. Academy which certifies doctors across China to administer W.A. stem cell products and anti-aging treatments.

As W.A. develops 7-star medical health care in China, they have chosen as a location for their executive offices Shanghai’s landmark Plaza 66, which is accustomed to catering to wealthy and exacting clientele.  

The first of the World Anti-Aging Health Care Centers, opening Q2 2010, will be set in a central yet secluded part of Shanghai.  The private setting will be a welcome haven in which to receive the highest quality health care, not only for local residents, but patients from abroad as well.

One of the major tourist attractions in Beijing, Fragrant Mountain Park, will be home to the next World Anti-Aging Health Care Center. The park is famous for the fiery autumn colours of its trees, incense-burner shaped mountains, and Huangqing Villa, the former residence of Mao Zedong. Such a backdrop makes a pleasant setting for the services and therapies offered by the center.  Located about a 40 minute drive northeast of central Beijing, it will be an ideal retreat for those seeking top quality discreet health care, with attention to privacy, dignity and luxury.

World Anti-Aging’s precept is “Improving Lives.  Building Trust.  Inspiring Hope. Through research, passion and trust, we help people enjoy happier, healthier and longer lives.”
