Thank you, everyone. And it's my pleasure to be here.
And I'd like to thank the Cancer Control Society for the good work they've done in educating physicians and to help bring forward a new paradigm of health care, which is beyond simply alternative therapy, beyond integrative medicine, really goes to a new way of looking at health care, and that's health care for the whole individual. And that's really what antiaging medicine is all about. His health care. The pinnacle of health care for the individual for all stages of their life. Now, in today's presentation, I'm going to talk a little bit about A.G. Mess. I'm just going to talk about the power of the therapeutic power of sleep and sleep. Really quite important to us who are lazy and would like to rest of the end of day. And even of those who aren't so lazy after all the average individuals who spend a third of their lifetime in a sleep cycle. So it's important that we know about it. That's important. We utilize it for our health and our well-being because it is critically important and is very much a part of life.
Now, for those of you who don't know who I am. BusinessWeek very nicely referred to me. One of the nicer things that BusinessWeek has said about us is called me the guru of anti aging medicine. And in fact, antiaging medicine is really nothing more than a euphemism for advanced preventive medicine and advanced biomedical technologies that promote the extension of the healthy human lifespan.
Now, there's a lot of misinformation out there.
There's a lot of politics around this this whole issue of anti aging mess. I'm not really quite sure why it is, except it is. And there are people who like to call it longevity medicine. Successful aging. Optimal aging health. Age management. Healthy aging. Happy aging. Any sort of any different number of euphemisms. But it's all in a nutshell, anti aging medicine. And again, it's nothing more than a euphemism for advanced preventive medicine. What is the definition of anti aging medicine? While it's basically anything that has to do with the early detection, treatment and or reversal of aging related disease? Because we all know and feel that aging is a degenerative process and that leads inextricably to disease and finally to death.
And so, you know, none of us are going to have a lifespan of Methuselah anytime soon.
But we can all be looking forward to have very pleasant lifespans of 70, perhaps 80 years, perhaps 100 years. There are those of us in antiaging medicine who are projecting lifespans of one hundred and
