Future Medicine Today

The fountain of youth may be a myth, but anti-aging medicine — including stem cell treatments (from adult stem cells) and tissue and immunological engineering — are proven sciences.

The authority on applying these medical disciplines, on a personalized basis, to detect, prevent and possibly reverse degenerative diseases and promote healthy aging is Dr. Burton Feinerman.

In addition to stem cell treatments Dr. Feinerman focuses on DNA and mitochondrial repair; the use of the new science of lengthening telomeres in each cell of the body; bio-identical hormones — estrogens, testosterone, human growth hormone, and building up the immune system in our bodies. He is also at the forefront of the use of gene therapy for Tay Sachs disease, cerebellar ataxia and Huntington's disease.

A Mayo Clinic-trained physician, Dr. Feinerman recently moved his practice here from Hawaii where he treated celebrities like Oprah, Britney Spears, Larry David, Nick Nolte and Pink.

Fighting Diseases

Dr. Feinerman's objectives are to help his patients fight off disease and to prolong the length and the quality of their lives. For the former, he uses neuron stem cells and brain nerve growth factors to treat neurodegenerative diseases like ALS, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, autism and brain damage. The results have been remarkable. For example:

• A number of his COPD patients have stopped using 24-hour oxygen, and have improved lung function and enhanced endurance.
• He has significantly improved the odds for a 16-month old infant with Tay-Sachs disease.
• He has renewed the career of an 80-year-old dentist with advanced COPD and stopped the progress of ALS in a 66-year-old female

When promoting health, aging and longevity, Dr. Feinerman treats patients with stem cells, tissue engineering, and bio-identical hormones. "People in their late 60's, 70's, and 80's get dramatic changes in health and increase the length and quality of their life." he says.
