TAILIEUCHUNG - Anti-Aging Teleconference: What is Anti-Aging Medicine?

Traditional herbal medicine has been used since ancient time in many parts of the world where access to formal and modern healthcare is limited. Nepal is not exempt and in mid-hills, mountainous and rural areas of the country where access and services are limited, herbal medicine is the basis of treatment of most illness through traditional knowledge. It is estimated that approximately 90% of the Nepalese people reside in rural areas where access to government health care facil- ities is lacking [30].

INTRODUCTION A NTI-AGING medicine is a concept with argument that clinical substance but one with enormous promise and implication. Unjustified claims prompt many to rail against commercial ventures inspiring more demagoguery than rational discussion. Aging is natural but for most of us undesirable. Unfortunately our human inclination to avoid logical reasoning is also natural but just as undesirable and perhaps even more unproductive. Recently for example one of our academic discussants from a prominent and famous institution enjoyed a recurrent diatribe against a fellow discussant. He had justified his position on the basis of his extensive list of publications an ad hominem argument . The target of his wrath quietly pointed out that what mattered in argument were data facts and logic not reputation publications or intelligence.
