The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Medicine states that a superior practitioner treats disease before it occurs, while an inferior practitioner treats disease after it has manifested. To achieve longevity you must not only implement anti-aging measures but also prevent disease, this means detecting illness at its earliest stage in addition to the annual physical exams you receive, both you and your health care provider should monitor our condition on a regular basis so that treatment can begin at the earliest possible opportunity. A Meridian Stress Assessment (MSA) provided by my office or even an at home urine test to assess your level of free radicals is available online today. It is easy to take our health for granted, especially when we are not experiencing any health issues, but we must take preventative steps as well to in order to ensure the best we can that as we age we have as little health issues as possible. We may not be able to prevent all diseases but we can at least try. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
