A4M Anti-Aging World Congress to Feature Leading Integrative Medical Expert, Eric R. Braverman, M.D.

Eric R. Braverman, M.D.,  one of the foremost integrative medical experts with offices in New York and Pennsylvania will be presenting  "Hormones, Neurotransmitters and the Brain" and "Increasing IGF-1 Levels to the Upper Range of Normal to Fight Disease" at the 17th Annual World Congress on Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine (April 23-25, 2009, Orlando Florida).

On the Exhibition Hall Floor, Dr. Braverman's team will be offering brain mapping using the Brain Electrical Activity Mapping (BEAM) technology that measures the speed and strength of neurotransmissions via electrical activity. The team will evaluate the body head-to toe by using ultrasound and other diagnostic testing, allowing early diagnosis of degenerative conditions that can affect many aspects of our metabolism, including immune system, cognitive functions, hormone balance and cellular integrity-which theoretically may help prevent the need for invasive surgical measures. They can identify aging parts of the body before disease develops or progresses and reverse it. With the results of these tests, early intervention through integrative medicine can mean the difference between optimal longevity and rapid decline. For example, the brain assessment testing is able to diagnose Alzheimer's 10-20 years before its onset. Exhibition Hall hours for this free testing will be, Friday, April 24th from 11:00AM to 5:00PM and Saturday April 25th from 11:00AM to 6:00PM.
