JMC Miami Antioxidants and Hearing Loss as We Age
JMC Miami Restorative Medicine’s physicians are on top of the latest nutriceutical research that can benefit you as we fight to regress aging as much as possible. A study from Australia, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed the benefits of antioxidant consumption in decreasing hearing loss.
People with highest average intakes of Vitamin A had a 47% reduced risk of moderate to severe hearing loss compared to people with lowest average intakes, according to the study from the University of Sydney. In addition, increasing dietary consumption of Vitamin E was linked with a 14% reduction in hearing loss. The researchers explanation is that oxygen species may damage the inner ear mechanisms associated with hearing and therefore, hypothesize that antioxidants may counter the damage and reduce age related hearing loss.
At JMC Restorative Medicine we have the best quality antioxidant supplements you can find and our doctors are always here to give you the best antiaging advice.(American Journal of Clinical Nutrition Vol.92, pp.416-421)

JMC Miami Glycyrrhiza Antiviral, Immune Booster, Miami Alernative Treatment RA, Lupus, Hepatitis
JMC Restorative Medicine includes glycyrrhiza, commonly known as licorice or aniseed in its antiviral, immune boosting and IV treatments for autoimmune conditions(lupus, scleroderma, Rheumatoid Arthritis) and hepatitis, HIV. Glycyrrhizic acid is now routinely used in Japan for treatment and control of viral hepatitis as well as to protect the liver from its effects. It has also been shown to be effective in treating Kaposi’s Sarcoma( an AIDS related Herpes family cancer) by disrupting its latent effects. In traditional herbal medicine it is used in the Hoxsey anti-cancer formula and is considered an adaptogenic which can modulate airway constriction, lung inflammation and decrease autoimmune responses. Thus it is effective in treating dander related allergies and other autoimmune conditions.
JMC Restorative Medicine’s doctors run all our IV treatments and infuse them themselves. We use glycyrrhiza in specific cocktails designed as Immune Boosters, with Vitamin C cocktail, and in our anticancer and antiviral IV cocktails. Stop by our call for more information about our IV Vitamin infusions anytime.
JMC Miami Wound Healing IV Nutrition
For a wound to heal, there need to be all the micronutrients necessary for the process to occur correctly. At JMC Restorative Medicine we now do IV nutritional therapy pre and post operatively. As far back as 2005, there are articles from the Journal of Surgery and the British Journal of Surgery showing up to 50% better and faster wound healing with 40-50 % less infection as well in patients that had IV nutritional therapy before and after surgery.
JMC Restorative Medicine works with different esthetic plastic surgeons in providing their patients with IV perioperative nutrition. This IV therapy has been proven effective in reducing infection rate and improving wound healing in almost every type of elective surgical procedure. This was highlighted in a recent WPLG news report on IV nutrition therapy in Miami. Also we are doing chelation therapy for improvement of cardiovascular risk status, mercury toxicity, pesticide exposure and multiple other causes. More on this tomorrow…
JMC Miami Magnesium Deficiency and IV Replenishment
JMC Miami Restorative Medicine offers a modified Myer’s cocktail for those patients with magnesium deficiency. As you may or may not know oral subministration of magnesium barely makes a dent in rbc magnesium levels and chronic magnesium deficiency can cause cardiac arrhythmias and heart failure as well as cardiomyopathy, where the heart walls contract but very weakly thereby pumping much less blood volume to the body.
IV magnesium is a very effective way to increase rbc magnesium levels, which is helpful in nearly all cases of heart disease. IV dosing has been shown to increase magnesium levels measurably by up to 3x’s. If you have a history of cardiac arrhythmias, magnesium deficiency or cardiomyopathy, our doctors at JMC Restorative Medicine offer a modified Myer’s cocktail with increased magnesium chloride levels to replenish rbc magnesium levels. That’s just one of the IV vitamin cocktails our doctors tailor to our patients’ needs.
JMC Miami Telomere Physiologic Age Testing, Telomeres and Micronutrients
JMC Miami Restorative Medicine offers telomere physiologic age blood testing. The Telomere test can quantify the difference between chronological and cellular age. Age adjusted telomere length is the best method to date to assess biological age using structural analysis of chromosomal change in the telomere.
Telomeres are sections of DNA at the end of each chromosome that serve as a cap to your genetic material. Every time a cell replicates, its telomere will become shorter. Shorter telomeres imply a shorter life span for the cell. Serial evaluation of telomere length is an indicator of how rapidly one is aging relative to a normal population. Therapies can be directed at slowing telomere shortening which slows aging and age-related disease. Increases in telomere loss may point to increased oxidative stress, progression of chronic diseases or of metabolic abnormalities. Testing is recommended once per year.
Micronutrient status has direct implications in telomere length. A single deficiency can profoundly affect telomere shortening. Some micronutrients that affect the rate of telomere shortening are: copper, selenium, folate, glutathione, magnesium, zinc, B vitamins, Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Vitamin E.
At JMC Restorative Medicine, we not only offer the telomere test but micronutrient replenishment both IV and orally. Stop by our office for free information on telomere testing and our multiple nutritional replenishment options.
JMC Restorative Medicine Laser Treatment Acne Scars, Skin Lesions, Wrinkles
JMC Restorative Medicine has several profractional laser treatments for acne scars, even very deep ones, darkened skin lesions, keloids, fine lines and wrinkles. The profractional laser skin resurfacing first goes over any blemish and then the entire face is gone over with the profractional laser. Treatment takes about an hour and is done with local anesthesia as well as topical. Recovery time is about 5 days and with as little as one treatment there is noticeable reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, evening of skin color and texture, marked decrease in scar appearance. Also there is theadded benefit of stimulation of collagen production which sustains results over time and keeps skin looking youthful.
JMC Restorative Medicine offers this procedure as a microlaser peel and prices start at $350.00. Stop by anytime and see before and after pictures of our many satisfied patients.
JMC Omega 3 Fatty Acids and Alzheimer’s
JMC Restorative Medicine’s doctors are always on top of the latest nutraceutical research that can help improve your health. A meta-analysis study out of China looked at homocysteine levels ( the higher the more prone to Alzheimer’s) and omega-3 fatty acids. The researchers found that higher consumption of omega-3 fatty acids was directly related to decreased levels of homocysteine and decreased memory loss over time.
Good quality nutraceuticals is a staple of our practice. Come by JMC Restorative Medicine anytime for our omega-3 fatty acids or to have your homocysteine levels drawn to see your possible risk for Alzheimer’s disease.
