A new and natural approach to rejuvenation
No amount of material wealth can save you from debilitating illnesses such as cardio vascular ailments, diabetes mellitus, cancer, and kidney problems. And practically, no one is spared — young or old. So even before the symptoms start to manifest, preventive measures must be undertaken to prevent such diseases rather than waste your time and money in curing them or treating the symptoms. The good news is, these measures can be as simple as hand washing and breastfeeding.
“The process of getting sick and getting old starts the moment you are born. We are all rusting away. So before you rust, why don’t you restore your body first? Start by getting rid of body toxins,” notes Dr. Rosario “Chat” Austria, an advocate and practitioner of Integrative Medicine, which combines conventional medicine with alternative approaches to healing and rejuvanation.
Modernization, improper lifestyles and industrialization have contributed greatly to produce toxins and stressful situations in people’s lives. Toxins, which become stressors, are everywhere: in the air we breathe, the food we eat, even in the new gadgets we use. These are harmful heavy metals (lead, arsenic, aluminum, mercury, etc.) and chemicals (pesticides, insecticides, household cleaners, etc.) that insidiously accumulate in the body. These and the increasing threats/exposure to infections (viral, fungal, bacterial and parasites) cause harm to the cells, tissues, and organs and induce an earlier onset of the aging process and diseases. Illnesses set in like the lack of energy and drive, allergies, easy predisposition to infections, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, cancer and even autism and behavioral disorders in children.
“To prevent these, it’s best to identify the culprits that cause the body’s breakdown and introduce therapies that can help achieve a total approach to regain/maintain health and youthfulness,” Dr. Austria adds.
Located at the Medicard Lifestyle Center in Makati City, the Natural Rejuvenation Center Philippines introduces new age protocols to allow the body to heal and rejuvenate itself. Here, the patient is advised to undergo five processes — identify the toxins, remove the toxins the natural way, energize the body, boost the immune system, and balance the hormones —to bring your rusting body back to life.
“One of the ways to identify the toxins that stress the body is through a Bio-Feedback Testing. This NASA technology assesses the body’s stress response to heavy metals, chemicals, pesticides, parasites, fungi, hormones, food, and nutrients. It also gives recommendations on how to balance the body back to health,” Dr. Austria adds.
The second step, detoxification, is the process of helping the body get rid of the toxins and other stressors. One of the methods is through chelation, an intravenous or oral administration of agents that removes heavy metals and harmful chemicals.
Once the toxins are flushed, it’s time to energize the body. At Natural Rejuvenation Center, one can avail of intravenous energy boosters ideal for stressed-out individuals (such as those with some sort of infection like the flu), for pre or post surgery care and pre or post chemotherapy care, or those who just want to have an instant lift in their energy level.
Lastly, it’s also important to balance the hormones in the body. The Natural Rejuvenation Center offers the Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy, the clinic’s flagship services for both men and women, young and old. Hormones are chemical messengers in the body that play a critical role in keeping our memory, heart function, bone structure and other bodily functions from declining. Bio-identical hormones are derived from plants, have the exact molecular structure and duplicate the exact functions as the hormones made by your body. They are safe, non-invasive and do not increase the risk of such conditions as blood clots, heart attacks and breast cancer.
“As our hormones decline, we age, not the other way round,” explains Dr. Austria, a member of the American Academy of Anti-aging. Some signs of hormonal imbalance or decline are abnormal menstrual flow, myoma, memory problems, depression, increased susceptibility to infection, loss of muscle mass, decline in libido, dry wrinkled skin, bloating, unexplained weight gain, brain fog, fragmented sleep and worsened PMS.
For men, BHRT would result in lower coronary heart disease, lower diabetes, cholesterol and cancer rates, increased libido, increased sense of well-being, less depression, better cognition, protection against prostrate disease, strengthening of bones and maintenance of skeletal integrity and improvement of hemoglobin values.
“Balancing and replacing hormones as they decline can prevent or reverse disease conditions and restore many youthful characteristics. Remember, our body, like a car, needs a regular tune-up,” enthuses Dr. Austria. 
So don’t wait for the check engine sign to pop up.
