October 27, 2008 “the theories of ageing” by Marios Kyriazis, M.D.
It was agreed that without an agreed principle we do not have an agreed treatment/ therapy program! Because whilst many antiageing meetings discuss top-up and repair therapies such as hormone replacement, they don’t help to explain the causes behind the problems, and Dr. Kyriazis also discussed some of the better programs to address the theories of ageing too. The theories of ageing are not a trivial event because ageing is responsible for the vast majority of degenerative disease and degenerative diseases, apart from being the most debilitating for both the individuals concerned and their families and friends are responsible for between 75 and 90% of the cost in health care today. There was a lively debate with many questions asked.
July 28, 2008 “how to be dentally fit” by Brian Halvorsen BDS Dr. Brian Halvorsen, one of Britain’s foremost dentists informed us about how to stay dentally fit. Dr. Halvorsen looked at the perspective of healthy gums and teeth, but also how dental practices, particularly the use of metals in the mouth, can affect the rest of the body. 
Dr. Halvorsen made people aware that mercury is the third most toxic substance known, and yet its use in dentistry (and leeching from industrial practices) is allowed to continue, despite countries like Norway banning it on health grounds. Dr. Halvorsen explained that even the relatively small microgram amounts in an amalgam can kill millions of neurons, as each microgram has literally billions of atoms, and the work of the University of Calgary has shown that one atom can kill one neuron, the work of Boyd Hailey has also associated mercury with Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Halvorsen not only highlighted these links but also discussed methods (beyond extraction) of how to reduce and avoid the pitfalls of modern dentistry. These included substances such as EDTA, DMSA, allicin and selenium and he described what he used in his own practice and how his patients (including his accountant) have benefitted from having these heavy metals and toxic body burdens removed from them. We are looking forward to the release of Dr. Halvorsen’s book “staying dentally fit” later this year.
June 2, 2008; “staying 40” presented by Richard Lippman, Ph.D.
Dr. Richard Lippman presented data from published studies and his own clinical and personal experiences about how different products and protocols can help to slow and reverse various aspects of ageing, aspects as identified by the theories of ageing including the free radical, glycation and neuroendocrine. Some of the highlights of his lecture showed how excessive aerobic exercise can rapidly age an individual, particularly their looks and why it was necessary to prevent free radical production with potent antioxidants such as BHT, glutathione, n-acetylcysteine and others. Dr. Lippman also highlighted potent anti-glycators such as aminoguanidine and their role in slowing down the ageing process. After 2-years of dedicated research Dr. Lippman hopes to publish his new book, “stay 40” this year. April 28, 2008 “the cataract cure” by Marios Kyriazis, M.D.
