I am very proud to announce my appointment to the advisory Board of an exciting new company. It is called CVAC Systems,Inc. CVAC means Cyclical Variations in Altitude Conditioning. CVAC has been shown in research studies both at the VA and Stanford Center on Longevity to have tremendous benefits in numerous diseases and disorders associated with aging. These include Insulin Resistance, Diabetes, Neuropathy, Cardiovascular Disease, Alzheimer’s, and declining Tetsterone levels in men. It has also demonstrated benefits in physical performance and cognitive ability.
There are currently only 10 prototypes of this amazing chamber developed at a cost of over $12 million. I am so excited to be able to announce that we will be able to offer treatments in the next few weeks at The Hall Center. Two 20 minute sessions per week have been shown to produce dramatic results. The potential for disease prevention, performance enhancement, advanced health and anti-aging ability is incredible. I will be recommending it to many of my patients with all sorts of varied conditions, and will be getting in the chamber frequently myself. It is simply a comfortable lounge chair enclosed in a pressurized clear acrylic chamber, that simulates varying altitude conditions of decreased atmopspheric pressure and oxygen. It produces the same conditioning effects as living or training at altitude, in a safe monitored environment. Altitudes up to 40,000 feet can be simulated, although therapy does not go above 20,000 feet.
The health benefits seen from altitude conditioning are based on the evolutionary changes known about man. Historically in Paleolithic times man, like most mammals was migratory, following food into higher altitudes in summer and warmer climates at lower altitudes in winter. However, in modern times ,we live mostly at one altitude. All animals vary their altitude from sea mammals to birds. As we have become less migratory we have lost the benefits of varying altitude, and our health has deteriorated as a result. We now have the ability to simply and safely reproduce our ancestral migratory patterns without leaving town.
Whether you are planning to run a marathon, and want to improve your performance, want to improve your insulin sensitivity, or just spruce up your memory, CVAC sessions will be markedly valuable to you.
Keep an eye on your email notices from The Hall Center in the next few weeks for the date that CVAC will be available for use. I am very excited about this as being the biggest new development in Anti Aging medicine since Bio Identical hormones, and am honored that we will have one of only 10 such chambers in the country. This is not something that will be readily available any time soon. So hopefully you will take advantage of this incredible opportunity.
