Testimonials Professionals’ comment on IAS

Suzanne Somers

“The Aging Matters™ magazine is spectacular, very readable and chock full of the latest and greatest. It’s the magazine I wait for and anticipate.”

Thierry Hertoghe, M.D.

“IAS have a history of making throughout the world crucial, but difficult to access medications available to patients. IAS is one of the pioneering societies in antiaging medicine that has helped this new medical speciality move forward.”

Jonathan V. Wright M.D.

“Every adult has the right to take care of his or her own personal health as he or she chooses. In the 21st century this universal human right has been nearly obliterated by an ocean of nanny state regulations and deliberate suppression of information by bureaucracies, with hidden and not-so hidden agendas. International Antiaging Systems is a beacon of useful health care information and a literal island of freedom of health care product choice in our otherwise unfree health care world.”

Frank Shallenberger M.D.

“The tools that are available today to treat the aging process are truly amazing. Thanks to IAS the field of antiaging medicine has expanded to the point that feeling and functioning 10-20 years younger is easily achievable. Their information and product services are regularly used by my patients.”

Walter Pierpaoli, M.D.

“I have known IAS for many years’ and they are a qualified group who provide for me, my family and my patients. Their skill and professional capacity have liberated me from all sorts of problems concerning the search for guaranteed and often rare supplements, or anything which is available but problematic to find. Their service goes far beyond duty and helps in many ways to maintain optimal health.” As I typed out the number ‘40’ for this cover, (because this is the 40th issue of the Aging Matters™ magazine), I said to myself; “well that’s another 10 years!” Yet that wasn’t even the starting point of the IAS private members club information; I still recall our first newsletter, the ‘Antiaging Bulletin’ - it was released in 1996, just after our first visit to the American Academy of Antiaging Medicine (A4M) at the end of 1995. In those early days it was black and white, but a little later it morphed into a booklet, and we introduced a third color, (it was yellow!) But then, in the summer of 2004 we finally updated it into a full-color magazine, one entitled the ‘Antiaging Magazine.’ It was a big update, so it became version 2. Then version 3, (with an all-new and fresh design), was renamed the ‘Aging Matters™’ magazine in 2012. And don’t forget that whenever you want to, you can download any of the earlier V3 and even some of the V2 publications; there are 50 to choose from online. In this issue we cover the hot topic of autophagy. Essentially, this is the process that our cells use to clean themselves. Here, Dr. Marios Kyriazis goes into the process and how we can support and nurture it. After all, we all know that a clean home is a healthy home, and nowhere is that truer than in our own bodies. In the previous issue (number 39), Dr. Ward Dean was interviewed by Richard Swift about the use of nootropics, (the so-called smart drugs) for society at large. Now, Richard follows it up with a thoughtful piece, it is if you will, an attempt to consider our needs and approach to health as we get older. And finally, Will Block delves into the issues of heavy metals and what can be done about them. It’s strange to consider that we are all exposed to varying levels of mercury, lead, and cadmium etc., even if we are working in an office in New York or London etc. I guess the message is- stay cleaner and healthier, thereby improving your odds of a long and strong life. Remember, we always welcome any constructive comments or suggestions. Please use the email shown on this page.
