The Future in Medical Advancements in the Next Decade by Janet Lynas, Ph.D, N.H.D.

The next decade in medical advancements will be exciting as we see progress in robotic surgeries. Expansions in new procedures and genetic testing for medications to identify which drugs are more effective in the treatment of individual illnesses.

Medical Advances to Watch in the next Decade

Robotic procedures will make scares a thing of the past. Keep your eyes open for the “snakelike robots” that will punch through the skin and advance into the body to preform surgical task. These “snakelike robots” will be controlled by a computer and a joystick. Surgery will be less invasive and recovery time will be faster and easier.
Medications specific for individual genome is already here. The scope in drugs tested will continue to grow. Currently a provider swabs the inside of the patient’s mouth on the cheek. The DNA sample is sent to a lab for testing to see which medications are more effective in the management in patient care. This technology is helpful in the mental health arena in managing psychiatric illness such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The drug is tested on the individual’s DNA sample. The testing shows which drugs are more effective for that person and which drugs should never be used on that patient. Testing in this way will eliminate the guesswork that providers use in medical treatment. The patient is given the drug most effective and safe for them. This eliminates harmful side effects and possible life-threatening drug reactions. Imagine the time and money saved on getting the patient started on the right treatment for them from the start.
Destroying cancer cells with particle light accelerator and frequency waves. Frequency waves were proven effective on cancer cells in 1973 using 434 MHz. The cancer cells were destroyed leaving healthy cells unharmed. Physicist Robert Wilson, the founding director of Fermilab, proposed a different cancer treatment method when he published the article “Radiological Use of Fast Protons” in 1946. In the 1990s, Fermilab built the first proton accelerator dedicated to cancer treatment at a medical center.The physical properties of high-energy protons allow for a more targeted deposition of radiation than with x-rays.
Smaller diagnostic tools for practitioners to use in the doctor’s office. Development of hand held scanners will be part of the health care providers tools used in diagnosing patient illnesses. These hand held scanners are in the developmental stage now. StarTrek diagnostic tools are no longer fiction.
Growing organs in the lab is not fiction. Science has been growing ears on the backs of mice for years. Using human genes to grow organs is being advanced in laboratories around the world. The hope is that in the near future a human heart can be grown from the individuals genes.
Stem cell technology will be used more in repairing the heart after a heart attack. It will become more of a common treatment than one to be used in the future. Stem cell treatment is now being used in the repair of the human heart after a heart attack, but it’s most effective in patients who have had heart damage in less than two years.
Overall stem cell therapy will advance rapidly in the near future. It’s being used in cancer treatment as well as regeneration of human tissue. Stem cell therapy will be common treatment in anti-aging modalities. Given their unique regenerative abilities, stem cells offer new potential for treating diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
Nutritional advances will take center stage as science is able to see in real time how certain foods affect an individual’s body. Food metabolism is not the same for every person. Each person’s metabolism is unique to that individual and by being able to monitor how foods are metabolized, we will be able to tailor our diets for optimal health.
Cures for neurological diseases are on the horizon. Stem cells offer the hope that they can be used to treat neurological conditions like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Stem cells can be designed to repair and regrow the damaged neurons in an individual’s brain.
Nanotechnology is being perfected rapidly. Nanotechnology is being used for a variety age-reversing applications that could be literally a “new lease on life”. Because the rate of cellular reconstruction slows down and the body isn’t able to keep up the maintenance, we age. “Subatomic robots” will go into our bloodstream and repair cellular damage. Nanotechnology treatments for other age-related disorders, such as macular degeneration, osteoporosis, arteriosclerosis, and cirrhosis are closer to being current treatment than we think.

The next decade in medical advancements indeed will be exciting to watch as it unfolds. In many cases, the future is here now. How we chose to maintain our health, will in effect determine the quality of life we will have.

Looking Back A Decade by Janet Lynas, Ph.D., N.H.D.

As 2019 comes to an end, I begin to think back not only over the last year, but the last decade. Let’s take a look at some of the medical advances over the last ten years.

10 Medical Breakthroughs in the last decade

Human Genome Discoveries – Starting in 2000 a rough draft of the human genes was released. By 2003 the final draft was published. The hope of this project is in preventive medicine. The information gathered from this project will help practitioners focus on preventive medicine. As scientists understand the human genes better they will be able to predict possibilities on what direction to take to maintain health for their patients.
Information Technology – Since changing patient charts over from pen and paper to computers, consistency in patient care is now available. Each care provider is able to access all of the patient’s chart and is able to see what each health care provider has contributed to the care of that individual. Patients have access to doctors through “telemedicine”. Telemedicine allows patients to interact with physicians who are many miles away. Physicians who specialize in specific areas of medicine are able to provide patient care via Skype on the computer screen. Patients are now able to receive care with specialist that would otherwise not be available.
Anti-Smoking laws and Campaigns Restrict Public Smoking – While this may seem on the surface, an invasion of individual freedoms, it however is indeed a big step forward in the protection of non-smokers. Smokers are not the only ones who get lung cancer from smoking. Second hand smoke causes lung cancer in non-smokes as well. People who worked in bars and restaurants where smoking was allowed were subjected to second hand smoke. As a result, these people had a higher incidence of lung cancer than non-smokers who were not exposed to tobacco smoke. These laws have encouraged smokers to stop.
Heart Disease Deaths Drop by 40 Percent – Advances in recognition of the symptoms of heart attack and having quick responses have made a major advancement in survival rates. New treatments in heart disease have made a large turn around in prevention of heart disease. Advanced surgical techniques have proved to make recovery faster and heart surgery safer. Preventive care in heart disease has contributed to the drop in patient deaths from heart disease.
Stem Cell Research: Laboratory Breakthroughs and Some Clinical Advances – Stem cell research has been used in many areas of patient care including to regrowth of heart tissue, cancer research and patient survival and in regenerative medicine. The future in stem cell research is exciting.
Targeted Therapies for Cancer Expand With New Drugs – Cancer treatment is now able to target cancer cells without affecting healthy cells. DNA medications have helped to increase survival rates without the devastating side effects of cancer fighting drugs in past years.
Combination Drug Therapy Extends HIV Survival – We don’t hear as much about HIV as we did in past years. The combination of drugs has increased the life expectancy from 3 to 5 years after diagnosis to a patient diagnosed in their 20s living to the age of 69.
Minimally Invasive and Robotic Techniques Revolutionize Surgery – The normal surgical scar was long and took weeks to heal. Today surgical scars are just a few inches because of robotic surgery. Recovery time is short compared to ten years ago. With less invasive surgical techniques the patient experiences less pain and shorter recovery time.
Study Finds Heart, Cancer Risk with Hormone Replacement Therapy – Forty-seven years ago, I learned in pharmacology class that a woman should never take hormone replacement therapy after the age of thirty-five. The risk for heart attack and stroke was increased with HRT. This fact has now been supported by research. This information includes men taking HRT as well as women. Studies show that the increase in cancer is higher when an individual is taking HRT.
Advances in MRI Technology – New advances in MRI imagining gives health care providers a look into the working of the human brain. Known as functional MRI or fMRI, science can now trace the changes in oxygen flow in the brain. How does tracing the oxygen flow in the brain help scientists understand the brain better? By tracking changes in the oxygen levels and blood flow in the brain, science is able to track the neurons in the brain. As the brain activity is being observed while the patient is answering questions, researchers are able to have an insight into the working brain. These observations are helping scientists understand brain cancer, autism, dementia, and autoimmune diseases.

What Happens When Collagen Declines In Your Body by Janet Lynas, Ph.D., N.H.D.

What is collagen? Collagen is the main structural protein in the extracellular space in the various connective tissues in the body. What? What is extracellular space? Extracellular space is the space outside of the cell. I’m not going into detail on the extracellular space in this article, I don’t think you really want an anatomy lesson. But, the composition of the extracellular space in made up of proteins, growth factors, hormones, and biochemical receptors just to name a few functions that affect the function of the cell.

As the main component of connective tissue, collagen is the most abundant protein in mammals, it makes 25% to 35% of the whole-body protein content. Collagen consists of amino acids bound together to form triple-helices of elongated fibrils. It is mostly found in fibrous tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and skin.

Collagen and the skin

Let’s face it, most of us are looking for the fountain of youth. As we age, the level of collagen within our body declines causing the skin to wrinkle and sag. We begin to wonder who that person is in the mirror looking back at us. My dad says, “I’m a young man trapped in an old man’s body!” Most of us can relate to this statement. While the mirror shows us an older person, our mind is still reflecting the image of a youthful person. What a cruel trick to play on us!

Did you know collagen makes up approximately 80 percent of the dry weight of your skin. While collagen provides structure to the skin, it also works in conjunction with another protein called elastin. Elastin allows skin the flexibility it needs to stretch and return to its original state as your body moves. Think of the stretch marks pregnant women try so hard to avoid! Without elastin, we would be in a great deal of trouble as our body changes throughout the decades.

Collagen and the bones

Collagen also has an important function in bone. Bone is made up of a mixture of collagen and a mineral called hydroxyapatite. Collagen and hydroxyapatite work together to form the structure, flexibility and strength of your bones. Also science has shown us that approximately 30 percent of bones are made up of organic materials, in which collagen makes up to 95 percent.

So if your bones and joints are creaking and popping and hurting, you can thank the decrease of collagen in your body for these changes.

Collagen and muscles

Collagen is also important in maintaining the function of your muscles. Fibers of collagen provide your muscles with the strength and structure needed to move and serve your muscles throughout the day. The strength of the muscle tissue reflects on how well we’re able to preform our daily task. It also determines how well supported our skeletal system is.

Collagen fibers also make up your smooth muscles (such as those in the bladder and reproductive system) and your cardiac (heart) muscles.

You can see how important collagen is in heart health. When we have a strong heart muscle, our heart will operate at optimal efficiency.

Collagen and vessel health

Collagen makes up the walls of the veins, arteries and capillaries in the body. This gives the vessels strength, structure and flexibility, all of which are needed to effectively transport blood throughout your entire body. Without the flexibility in the walls of our vessels, the body would not be able to transport the nutrients, oxygen and blood throughout our system.

Collagen Products

What do you need to avoid in collagen supplements?

Soy Fillers
Citric Acid
Artificial Additives
Non-hydrolyzed Collagen
Dairy Preservatives
Natural Flavor

Beware of natural flavors

When you see a collagen product or any product labeled ‘natural flavors,’ run the other way! Run fast! That’s because natural flavors are derived from chemicals found in food, but are later enhanced in a laboratory. Natural flavors are not actually natural.

The FDA hasn’t officially defined what natural flavors mean, so it can actually be used to describe a lot of different things that may not always be good for you. It’s a marketing tactic to fool you into thinking it’s safe and healthy for you.

Also look to see if all the ingredients are listed. Often times the ingredients can be packaged into a vague description that is not helpful or forth coming.

Make sure the dosing is accurate with each serving. If there are fillers the dose may not be accurate.

What to look for in a collagen product

Diverse Amino Acid Profile
Pasture-Raised Hydrolyzed Collagen From Bovine
Type I and II Collagen
Magnesium

It is my experience in testing collagen products, that most are a waste of money. They do not live up to what is claimed in the marketing advertising.

Having said this, there is one product I found that has lived up to the claims and has scientific research supporting the promises made by this company. I’m not easily convinced on a product’s claim on the health benefits. I have been using this particular product for a couple of months and I’m impressed with the results I am getting. I see scars that I have had for decades disappear, then I know that this product is the real deal.

If you want to know more about this product contact me through the email listed on my blog.
