Beijing, China (PRWEB) (PRWEB) May 15, 2013

Puhua International Hospitals (PIHs)-Temple of Heaven (http://puhuahospital.com) (http://www.puhuachina.com) has been a leading international neuroscience and biotechnology center in Beijing, China, for the past 20 years. During that time, Puhua has built and maintained a dominant presence in Beijing in the areas of applied biotechnology, neurology, neurosurgery, medicine, cancer, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and surgery. PIH also has vigorous programs of Integrative Oncology and Diabetes.

Over the past decade Puhua International Hospitals-Temple of Heaven has made huge strides forward in applied cellular biotechnology (stem cell therapy, or SCT). Thus, in addition to its high level of diagnostic and therapeutic expertise, PIH has become a world leader in applied biotechnology, cellular science and applied stem cell technology.

It is in these areas of applied clinical research that remarkable progress is being made in the areas of: spinal cord repair; post-traumatic brain injury; cerebral palsy; Parkinsons disease; cerebral-vascular and cardio-vascular disease, and diabetes. By utilizing cellular/regenerative medicine and biotechnology at the time of surgical repair for spinal cord and brain injury, the neurosurgeons and clinical scientists at Puhua International are today redefining what is now possible in terms of recovery from neurological injury and disease.

Whereas traditional SCT utilizes donor cell-lines, newer technologies using autologous stem cells (meaning stem cell lines derived from the patients) are now also being successfully employed. Autologous cellular therapy is extremely safe and cost-effective for younger (under 40 years of age) patients with diagnoses such as: cerebral palsy, anoxic encephalopathy, autism, diabetes and many other conditions.

Puhua International Hospitals-Temple of Heaven, Beijing (http://puhuahospital.com) (http://www.puhuachina.com) is a Center of Excellence in neurology and neurosurgery as well as a leader on the frontier of applied cellular science and biotechnology.

James T. Quinlan, MD, is an American physician, trained at the University of Iowa, with a life-long interest and commitment to the subject of wellness, regenerative medicine and anti-aging. He is heading the initiative at Puhua International Hospitals (PIH)-Temple of Heaven to apply what has been learned in the past decade of applied stem cell science to the important and fascinating frontier of Anti-aging Medicine.

What is meant by old age? The concept of being old is quite relative. In fact, in a world of aging people, people who can now expect to live to 80, it becomes critically important to attempt to both better define the terms, and to lay out those elements that may be improved by current medical bio-technology. This imperative derives both from first principles: to attend to the health and happiness of the individual. However, since it is now possible to pre-empt many of the diseases of aging by cellular biotechnologies, it is time to re-examine and re-define what it means to age normally.

In other words, does the normal process of aging need to include the diseases of aging? Perhaps it does not, or at least not the way that it used to. Further, it is also necessary to look for ways to keep aging populations as healthy as possible. Not only is this the right thing to do, but we actually have no alternative. There is simply not enough carrying capacity (to use an environmental idiom) to sustain a planet over-populated by people who are sick and infirm from the diseases of aging.

So, what is aging, and what is meant by normal? What are the current options?
