I was most fortunate to be invited to UCSI University in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as their guest international speaker for 3 days last week. UCSI is South East Asia’s biggest Anti-aging university program and the only university in the world that I have come across that offers a post graduate degree in aesthetic medicine, anti-aging hormone medicine and regenerative stem cell medicine. These are the 3 growing fields in Anti-aging medicine, but to receive advanced tuition on all 3 in the same program is unique.

Unlike much of the rest of the world, Malaysia does not seem to have been affected by recession and on the back of tourism and oil money, the economy and property market is continuing to boom. There is a cosmopolitan society of Malaysians, Chinese, Indians, Iranians, and Europeans. The country is mainly Muslim but the other religions of Hindu and Christianity are progressively accepted and everyone seems to live harmoniously together despite recent election disgruntlements.
Beggars are rare as the government rehouses them and the only downside of a prosperous nation is a growing obesity rate and a delicious selection of international restaurants.

I was asked to give 3 days of lectures on topics ranging from the theories of aging, to adrenal fatigue and bio-identical hormones. We went through the theory and plenty of case studies and the class of 40 post graduate doctors easily picked up the concepts of healthy hormone balancing over the 3 days.

They have other growing programs of cardiac stem cell research, drinking-water toxin assessments and genetic testing programs that are all developing fast. Where other countries are putting barriers in the way of this important preventative medical field, Malaysia is embracing it under academic guidelines. My prediction is that Malaysia is set to become a destination of excellence in this growing field of health medicine.

I often get asked ‘what is the best face cream?’ It is of course an impossible question to answer as there is no such thing. However there are leading contenders for the best skin nutrient that different creams contain.

What a mouthful this term axillary hyperhidrosis is! You can blame it on the Romans and us medical types who still love to give things complicated names to sound impressive. It really just means heavy underarm sweating. This is a topic that no-one really talks about and those of us who suffer from it,

Varicose veins are the large tortuous blue veins that can develop in the legs. They develop either genetically because your mom had them, or after pregnancy or because you have a job where you stand on your feet all day. They are not 

only unsightly but can become painful and hard.

This is an excerpt from my upcoming book.

It is the end of a chapter that explores what we think of life and death and what we value and what we waste in life:

‘I often assume that modern man has all the answers, that we are the pinnacle of universal development. So it cheered me up immensely to read an essay from 2500 years ago by a Roman senator and

Nasolabial folds are no longer nasolabial folds…What I am really trying to say is that, how we treat the crease that runs from the nose to the mouth has changed dramatically.

“Nothing is constant but change” is a quote attributed to the Greek philosopher Heraclitus all the way back in 500BC. I never really understood this wise saying until I studied medicine.
