Centers for Age Control: Revolutionary Age-Detecting Device Gaining New Popularity among Doctors and Patients.


CHICAGO -- A revolutionary system that pinpoints vulnerable areas related to the aging process and allows doctors to put patients on anti-aging regimes is witnessing a resurgence in sales and in interest. This tool, the H-SCAN 820, is enjoying brisk sales as the population finds new and innovative ways to wage war against aging.

Already winning raves by patients and doctors alike, the H-SCAN 820, provides objective testing of 12 functional biomarkers of aging through a pain-free, non-intrusive series of physiological exercises.
HSCAN 820 tests 12 biomarkers in the following areas:
Decision times
Reaction times
Sense of touch
Muscle coordination
Lung capacity and exhalation rate
Degree of requirement for reading glasses (visual accommodation)
Highest pitch heard
Short Term Memory


As part of the test, patients are paced through exercises that measure breathing capacity, changes in memory and other cognitive functions cognitive function Neurology Any mental process that involves symbolic operations–eg, perception, memory, creation of imagery, and thinking; CFs encompasses awareness and capacity for judgment , lung performance, reaction time, hearing, touch, agility, vision and muscle movement, and speed.

 anti-aging practitioners, these are among the key the determinants that impact the aging process and can reflect acceleration in one's decline.

Dr. Phillip Lee Phillip Lee (born 21 February, 1977 in Brisbane, Queensland) is an Australian former rugby league footballer. He played for the South Queensland Crushers and the Brisbane Broncos, usually in the forwards.  Miller, a pioneer in the field of anti-aging medicine and founder of the world-renowned Los Gatos Los Gatos (lôs gä`tōs, lŏs, găt`əs), city (1990 pop. 27,357), Santa Clara co., W Calif.; inc. 1887. It is an affluent residential community and health resort.  Longevity Institute (www.antiaging an·ti·ag·ing

Says Miller, "I have used the H-Scan 820 for ten years and have studied the competitors' versions and can confidently state that the H-Scan 820 is still the best unit on the market. I still love the results of the H-Scan and promote it as one of the cornerstones of our programs."

Miller, whose organization is referenced in Suzanne Somers Suzanne Somers (born October 16, 1946) is an American actress, author, and businesswoman. Best known for her role as the ditzy blonde Chrissy Snow on the ABC sitcom Three's Company, she also had a noted starring role on the sitcom Step by Step  books, the Sexy Years and Ageless, says that having the H-SCAN "separates the pros from the amateurs" and signals that you are "serious about Anti Aging Medicine."

According to the medical professionals who include the unit in their practice, the H-SCAN 820 gives them a marketing edge because of its precision, its proven results as an aging analysis tool and because of the positive reception from patients.

The results give doctors a clear picture of the person's propensity toward aging and the patient immediately knows his estimated physiological age versus his actual age.

 remedies or lifestyle and dietary adjustments that might enable patients to reverse the premature aging spiral and live more productive, disease free, and quality lives. Because of its accuracy and potency as an age-detector, it has aptly earned the distinction as "the gold standard for measuring functional age."

Dr. Harvey Bartnof, founder and Medical Director of California Longevity and Vitality Medical Institute in San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden  California, where he practices Age Management Medicine, says patients have profoundly benefited from the device.

Says Dr. Bartnof, "The H-SCAN is very helpful when measuring a patient's biological age. It provides a useful guide when devising an individual patient's treatment regimen regimen /reg·i·men/ (rej´i-men) a strictly regulated scheme of diet, exercise, or other activity designed to achieve certain ends.

Adding the H-Scan 820 to their practice generates profits on three levels:

* Physicians add it to their age-fighting arsenal as a potent marketing tool.

* Doctors can immediately uncover vulnerable areas that require the patient to be referred to a plan for more medical attention.

* The price of the test is an additional source of revenue.

The H-SCAN 820 has an added benefit in that it is cost effective because the computerized series of tests can be self administered by the patient, requiring only an assistant for the first couple minutes. This frees the doctor and his staff to perform follow-up medical procedures that the test results reveal.

Patients laud the apparatus for providing valuable information that helped them correct deficiencies before they escalated into full-blown diseases.

Elliott Small, of Centers for Age Control, which markets the device, notes the core reason for the increase in sales. "As baby boomers See generation X.  retire and want to live a long, healthy life, and quality-filled life, more patients in the target market are coming to the office seeking such a test. Likewise, as people of all ages wage war against aging, the H-SCAN 820 becomes a guidepost for measuring age progression Age progression is the process of modifying a photograph of a person to represent the effect of aging on their appearance. Digital image processing is the most common technique today, although sometimes artists' drawings are used. . That's why many patients take the test yearly as a way of correcting and adjusting. In the end, the H-SCAN 820 is a benefit on several levels as it detects illnesses before the diseases become a burden on society. That makes the H-SCAN 820 an investment for the medical profession and for society in general."
