Welcome to Ann Arbor Endocrinology & Diabetes Associates Ann Arbor Endocrinology and Diabetes Associates (AAEDA) was established in 1987 by Dr. Jeffrey Sanfield, M.D. The mission of the practice is to provide evidence based care using all of the information we know about various conditions, and apply that knowledge in a personal and comprehensive manner to our patients.

Our physicians have been practicing on average more than ten years. A nurse practitioner is available to provide diabetesrelated education and instruction. All of our staff are familiar with the Ann Arbor, Southeast Michigan area and, therefore, can link you to the appropriate services such as diabetes education locations, or if necessary, another specialist or surgeon who may be required to assist in your care.

AAEDA strongly believes in team work, communication, and privacy as it serves your needs. We provide consultative services to referring physicians, including your own primary care phsician. If you require hospitalization, we can serve as consultants to patients admitted to St. Joseph Mercy Hospital.

New patients, please visit our patient portal and complete the forms before your first office visit.

AAEDA doctors and staff welcome the opportunity to care for your diabetes, endocrine, or hormone related issues.

Welcome to Ann Arbor Endocrinology & Diabetes Associates

Do you know if you are at risk for having diabetes or pre-diabetes?

It is estimated that 1 out of 3 adults have pre-diabetes and 90% of them don't even know that they have it! Pre-diabetes, if not treated, can lead to diabetes. The best treatment for pre-diabetes is losing a little weight if overweight and getting active at least 30 minutes most days of the week.

View: CDC Infographic on pre-diabetes - then, take this: 7-Question Quiz

to see if you are at high risk for having pre-diabetes.

If you score over 9, be sure to ask your provider/doctor for a diabetes test!!

"Fluoride produces brain changes identical to those in Alzheimer's patients." - Dr. Robert Carton

"In point of fact, fluoride causes more human cancer death, and causes it faster than any other chemical." - Dr. Dean Burk, Congressional Record 21 July 1976

The CDC and ADA now advise to avoid using fluoride.

Mercury (eg. from dental amalgams) also inhibits the repair of DNA.

"Free radicals can damage any part of the cell, including the DNA. Free radical damage to the DNA is thought to be one of the causes of cancer. In the absence of oxygen, the DNA self-repair mechanism does not function." - Diamond, page 1038.

Excess iron causes free radicals and promotes cancer. Women lose their excess iron due to menstruation, which is why women tend to live longer. Men and older women should donate blood annually.

Regular hyperthermia also removes excess iron.

"There is a big push toward eternal youth and life extension in America and other parts of the world. A major key to postpone aging is moderate exercise." - Dr. Robert J. Rowen

80 year olds can have the muscle mass of 40 year olds. The key is ongoing exercise.

Silencing the aging gene with niacinamide. Since B vitamins work together as a group, a B complex supplement may produce best results.

"Human cells can divide approximately sixty times before they can no longer divide and die... Cells divide to provide new cells to replace old, warn out, damaged cells. To the extent that optimum nutrition can extend the useful life of existing cells, the need for their replacement slows and so does the aging / replacement process." - David W. Gregg, Ph.D. (The limit to the number of cell divisions is known as the "Hayflick Limit".)

Overcome the Hayflick Limit with L-carnosine, DMAE and acetyl-L-carnitine. See The Nature of Aging, Part 3

"Based on everything we know, supplementing with a combination of L-carnosine, DMAE, and Acetyl-L-carnitine is one of the simplest, most effective, and safest steps we can take to help turn back the clock and optimize our health." - Jon Barron

Cell is the structural and the functional unit of all the organisms on the earth and Cell Science is a scientific discipline that studies the structure and the physiological characters of these cells. Human beings are multi-cellular organisms with an estimated 100,000,000,000,000 cells.

The Journal of Stem Cell Research & Therapy is the best Open Access journal that acts as a forum for translational research into stem cell therapies. Stem cells differ from other types of cells as they are unspecialized cells that are capable of changing themselves into almost any type of specialist cells. Journal of Stem Cell Research & Therapy is scientific journal that overlays the study of Cancer stem cells, stem cell therapy, stem-cell transplantation, regenerative medicine, human embryonic stem cells, Neural stem cells, Murine Embryonic Stem Cells, Adult stem cell, Pancreatic stem cells, Totipotent Stem Cells, Pluripotent Stem Cells, Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs), Multipotent Stem Cells, Myeloid Stem Cells, Fetal Stem Cell Therapy, Stem Cell Therapy for Diabetes, Plant Stem Cells, Dental Stem Cells, Stem Cell Preservation, Stem Cell Therapy for Osteoarthritis, etc.

Scholarly Journal of Stem Cell Research & Therapy is using online manuscript submission, review and tracking systems of Editorial Manager for quality and quick review processing. Review processing is performed by the editorial board members of Journal of Stem Cell Research and Therapy or outside experts; at least two independent reviewers approval followed by editor approval is required for acceptance of any citable manuscript.

It is an undifferentiated cell which is capable of transforming into more cells of same type or multiple other types. They are found in multicellular organisms. They can differentiate into cells of blood, skin, heart, muscles, brain etc. In adult human being, they replenish the dead cells of various organs. Stem cells are being used for treatment of various diseases like diabetes, arthritis, few cancers, bone marrow failure etc.

This month we take a look at the unknown details of Panamas 20-year tax exoneration as well as a new fascinating type of medical tourism keeping Panama in the spotlight. And while September marks the middle of the rainy season for us here, but it rarely rains enough to ruin a vacation! Flight and hotel deals are abound right now which makes it a great off-season time to come visit. We are proud to announce that we can now offer our clients country-wide agency coverage! Whether you are still planning your first trip to Panama or are a long time resident looking to sell, our agency is now in a position to handle any real estate inquiry, from Bocas to Boquete, and Pedasi to Panama City! Our recent alliance with Tom Brymer in Boquete and Mark Johnson in Bocas means that our high standards of agency representation now extend across the entire country of Panama. **Weve got 4-5 properties in the city and beach areas with VERY motivated sellers. To get on our monthly deal list mailer Sign up for Kents Picks by clicking here** This newsletter is currently being read by over 5,000 subscribers. We cant thank you enough for your continued support and referrals! http://www.PanamaEquity.com Cost of Ownership in Panama Comparing apples to grapes

Why buy a beach condo in Panama when you could buy something just as nice for less money in a place like Miami or Phoenix? This month, Id like to address the costs of ownership here in Panama.

There is no sure thing in this world except for death and taxes. Lets go ahead and add HOA dues to that list, if you are a condo owner at least. Whether you refer them as home owners association fees or common area maintenance charges (CAMs) is beside the point: they are a both a blessing and a curse, and they can make or break an investment.

In Panama, on average, you are looking anywhere from $1.00 $2.00 per square meter, or roughly $.09 $.18 per square foot to maintain a condo that has a pool, gym, racquetball court, 24 hour security, elevator maintenance, landscaping, putting green and any and every other possible amenity you can imagine. If youre lucky, you also have a full time concierge that, in the case of our building, will also wash your car for $3.00 and fix your toilet for $5.00. That means for an average two bedroom/two bath oceanfront condo, 1200 square feet youre looking at less than $200/month.

Combined with the tax savings we are going to address below, that savings adds up over time and more than makes up for any small front side difference on price.

With the existing 20 year tax exoneration, property owners are not required to pay any taxes for 20 years after the date which the occupancy permit was issued. If your condo is 8 years old, that means you have 12 years left of paying no property taxes. Here is what you may not already know: The 20 year property tax exoneration, for the time being, is a thing of the past as of December 31st of this year.

Existing properties will still be exempt based on the formula above, however new properties will be subject to a sliding scale of from anywhere from 5-15 years of exoneration. If you are on the fence about picking up something in Panama, now is a good time to start seriously mobilizing to lock something in before the property tax window closes.

A few other key points regarding ownership costs and taxes in Panama -If you are a current property owner and are even SLIGHTLY considering selling, make sure your property already has an existing tax exoneration filed. This can cause an unnecessary delay, so jump on it now. -You will still have to pay a land tax on your property regardless of how old it is. I have not seen any type of calculation on this because the law is relatively new, but we havent seen tax amounts any more than $1,000/year for condos in the city or the beaches. -Once the taxes do kick in on your property, you have two different fee structures you can follow when determining the tax amount. Boring stuff for a newsletter, but if you are interested, send us an email and well get you all of the updated tax information that we have. Traffic Woes in Clayton and Albrook will all be a thing of the past!

Residents and visitors to Panama quickly find out that there are certain parts of Panama that should be avoided at all costs. Why? Traffic! For the last few years, the intersection that was the junction for travel between Albrook and El Dorado from 12-1pm and then again from 5-6 pm could be a quagmire of horns and slowly moving traffic.

HOWEVER, as of January of next year, all of those problems will be a memory with the completion of the new overpass that will remind residents living in these two beautiful neighborhoods of why they picked them in the first place.

Ironically, the Clayton and Albrook neighborhoods are some of the most tranquil, green, upscale and, believe it or not, quiet neighborhoods of Panama City. Home to the US Embassy and a number of very high profile families and international establishments, both Clayton and Albrook are known for their beautiful and sprawling gated communities, including the Embassy Club Panama.

Residents in Claytons Embassy Club love the fact that they are less than five minutes from Balboa Academy, the City of Knowledge, and the onramp to the interstate that takes them directly to the beach. Now they will also love the fact that the end is near for traffic in their neighborhood, thanks to President Martinellis new road initiative. Local Business Spotlight Overseas opportunities for medical pioneers

In the last two years, we have noticed an undeniable trend. Because we work with a lot of entrepreneurial clients who are looking to bring their proven business models to Panama, we end up hearing some very interesting new business ideas. Now more than ever we are seeing the seeds that were planted some years ago start to sprout, and The Stem Cell Institute is no exception.

Stem Cell therapy is a controversial medical procedure because of the way that stem cells are generated and harvested. The whole idea behind stem cell therapy is that stem cells are capable of turning into a variety of other cells, and thus can be used for treatment of a number of diseases including diabetes, heart disease, and Parkinsons.

Despite the controversy, stem cell therapy is one of many cutting edge medical treatments that are available in Panama, and one that is bringing clients down to Panama for medical treatment. Our world class private health care network, championed by the Johns Hopkins medical facility in Punta Pacifica, is among the top five reasons retirees continue to flock down here in droves. I can personally attest to the quality of Johns Hopkins, as both my wife and I have undergone surgery and medical testing there, all at a fraction of the cost of what we would have paid in the states.

Stem Cell controversy in Panama - Panama Real Estate

Our team was assembled in 2005 to provide unbiased, scientifically-sound treatment options to patients with degenerative diseases. The organization arose from the unmet need to provide stem cell therapies that have been shown by others to meet the bar of safety in Phase I trials, but are not yet widely available because efficacy has not been proven.

Our science originates from an American biotechnology company founded by Neil Riordan, PhD who together with leading Universities has published numerous papers in peer reviewed medical journals and has 17 families of patent applications.

Stem Cell Institute Founder, Neil Riordan PhD

Our medicine is founded on clinical use of stem cells. Since opening our doors in 2006, we have treated over 1800 patients. We routinely interact with colleagues in the USA and internationally who are using stem cells as part of clinical trials in order to incorporate the most recent advancements into patient care.

At the Stem Cell Institute, our mission is to be at the forefront of research of new treatment protocols for chronic diseases using adult stem cells, always according to the highest international bioethics standards, and offering, with transparency, honesty and human quality, treatments developed to improve the condition of our patients.

The characteristics of our organization which distinguish us from other stem cell treatment centers:

Mrs Dily from Papua New Guinea talks about her Hematopoietic Cord Blood Mesenchymal stem cell treatment for Kidney Failure More here https://stemcellthailand.org/therapie...

The condition was due to Diabetes Type 2 complications and required nephrogenesis therapy.

The Regeneration Center of Thailand provides the most advanced medical therapy for Renal Failure using non-invasive Renal tube regeneration therapy to naturally treat Organ Dysfunctions including Kidney cell replacement therapy for patients diagnosed with Kidney disease and End Stage Renal Failure CKD CRF and offers and alternative to having kidney transplants.

Human kidneys normally have the capacity to regenerate themselves and restore their normal function and structure after most injuries, however, kidney regeneration is usually delayed or combine with multiple conditions resulting in gradual decrease failure and mortality. Incomplete natural regeneration of kidneys are especially exposed for Diabetics and often lead to loss of renal function. Our kidneys normally undergo mesenchymal-epithelial development stage of life and an adult kidney contains about 24 types of cells that are arranged in distinct vascular, glomerular, interstitial and tubular compartments.

Our enriched Hematopoietic Mesenchymal cell therapy and nephrogenesis protocol works buy enhancing our bodies natural defences against kidney damage and look to reconstitute a failing or injured kidney by improving both the structural compartments and their functions.

Enriched Renal Stem cells help to repair injured kidneys by replacing the dead cells and/or by augmenting natural regeneration of the infused cells through the paracrine effect. Cell-based treatments for Renal failure also require proper lab expansion of very large cell populations that must be uniform in their activity and be tested to ensure they are pathogen-free before delivery to the patient.

The statistics for people suffering from ARF and acute renal failure across the world are not pleasant. Nearly 7% of all long-term hospital patients across the world are suffering from Kidney failure and the mortality rate for these patients is about 50% and has basically remained unchanged since the invention of dialysis nearly 40 years ago.

The main strength of renal stem cell transplants involves the introduction of enriched supplementary cells into a damaged kidneys to more effectively aid in the repair and regeneration that are experience in the natural healing process.

Stem Cell transplants for Kidney failure and Chronic Kidney disease are not appropriate for all patients. To see if you qualify for treatment please contact us below.

Refractive errors often are the main reason a person seeks the services of an optometrist or ophthalmologist. But what does it really mean when we're told that our vision is blurry because we have a refractive error?

We see the world around us because of the way our eyes bend (refract) light. Refractive errors are optical imperfections that prevent the eye from properly focusing light, causing blurred vision. The primary refractive errors are nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.

Refractive errors usually can be "corrected" with eyeglasses or contact lenses, or they can be permanently treated with LASIK and other vision correction surgery (also called refractive surgery).

In order to see, we must have light. While we don't fully understand all the different properties of light, we do have an idea of how light travels.

A light ray can be deflected, reflected, bent or absorbed, depending on the different substances it encounters.

When light travels through water or a lens, for example, its path is bent or refracted. Certain eye structures have refractive properties similar to water or lenses and can bend light rays into a precise point of focus essential for sharp vision.

Most refraction in the eye occurs when light rays travel through the curved, clear front surface of the eye (cornea). The eye's natural (crystalline) lens also bends light rays. Even the eye's tear film and internal fluids (aqueous humor and vitreous) have refractive abilities.

The process of vision begins when light rays that reflect off objects and travel through the eye's optical system are refracted and focused into a point of sharp focus.

For good vision, this focus point must be on the retina. The retina is the tissue that lines the inside of the back of the eye, where light-sensitive cells (photoreceptors) capture images in much the same way that film in a camera does when exposed to light. These images then are transmitted through the eye's optic nerve to the brain for interpretation.

Just as a camera's aperture (called the diaphragm) is used to adjust the amount of light needed to expose film in just the right way, the eye's pupil widens or constricts to control the amount of light that reaches the retina.

In dark conditions, the pupil widens. In bright conditions, the pupil constricts.

The eye's ability to refract or focus light sharply on the retina primarily is based on three eye anatomy features: 1) the overall length of the eye, 2) the curvature of the cornea and 3) the curvature of the lens inside the eye.

More obscure vision errors, known as higher-order aberrations, also are related to flaws in the way light rays are refracted as they travel through the eye's optical system.

These types of vision errors, which can create problems such as poor contrast sensitivity, are detected through new technology known as wavefront analysis.

Your eye doctor determines the type and degree of refractive error you have by performing a test called a refraction.

This can be be done with a computerized instrument (automated refraction) or with a mechanical instrument called a phoropter that allows your eye doctor to show you one lens at a time (manual refraction).

Often, an automated refraction will be performed by a member of the doctor's staff, and then the eye care practitioner will refine and verify the results with a manual refraction.

Your refraction may reveal that you have more than one type of refractive error. For example, your blurred vision may be due to both nearsighted and astigmatism.

Your eye doctor will use the results of your refraction to determine your eyeglasses prescription. A refraction, however, does not provide sufficient information to write a contact lens prescription, which requires a contact lens fitting.

Eyeglass lenses and contact lenses are fabricated with precise curves to refract light to the degree necessary to compensate for refractive errors and bring light to a sharp focus on the retina.

Vision correction surgeries such as LASIK aim to correct refractive errors by changing the shape of the cornea, so that light rays are bent into a more accurate point of focus.

Refractive Errors and Refraction - How the Eye Sees

You may get your hair color from your fathers side of the family and your great math skills from your mother. These traits are in the genes, so to speak. Likewise, longevity tends to run in familiesyour genetic make-up plays an important role in how you age. You can see evidence of this genetic connection in families with siblings who live into their 90s or families that have generation after generation of centenarians. These long-lived families are the basis for many genetic studies.

Identifying the genes associated with any trait is difficult. First, just locating the gene requires a detailed understanding of the trait, including knowledge of most, if not all, of the contributing factors and pathways related to that trait. Second, scientists must have clear ways of determining whether the gene suspected to have a relationship with the trait has a direct, indirect, or even no effect on that trait.

Identifying longevity genes is even more complex than determining genes for height or hair color, for example. Scientists do not know all the factors and pathways that contribute to longevity, and measuring a genes effect on long-lived animals, including humans, would literally take a lifetime! Instead, scientists have identified hundreds of genes that affect longevity in short-lived animal models, like worms and flies. Not all of these genes promote long life. Sometimes mutating or eliminating a gene increases lifespan, suggesting that the normal function of the gene limits longevity. Findings in animal models point to places for scientists to look for the genes that may influence longevity in humans.

Genomic Medicine

NHGRI defines genomic medicine as "an emerging medical discipline that involves using genomic information about an individual as part of their clinical care (e.g., for diagnostic or therapeutic decision-making) and the health outcomes and policy implications of that clinical use." Already, genomic medicine is making an impact in the fields of oncology, pharmacology, rare and undiagnosed diseases, and infectious disease.

The nation's investment in the Human Genome Project (HGP) was grounded in the expectation that knowledge generated as a result of that extraordinary research effort would be used to advance our understanding of biology and disease and to improve health. In the years since the HGP's completion there has been much excitement about the potential for so-called 'personalized medicine' to reach the clinic. More recently, a report from the National Academy of Sciences [dels.nas.edu] has called for the adoption of 'precision medicine,' where genomics, epigenomics, environmental exposure, and other data would be used to more accurately guide individual diagnosis [nimh.nih.gov]. Genomic medicine, as defined above, can be considered a subset of precision medicine.

The translation of new discoveries to use in patient care takes many years. Based on discoveries over the past five to ten years, genomic medicine is beginning to fuel new approaches in certain medical specialties. Oncology, in particular, is at the leading edge of incorporating genomics, as diagnostics for genetic and genomic markers are increasingly included in cancer screening, and to guide tailored treatment strategies.

Top of page

It has often been estimated that it takes, on average, 17 years to translate a novel research finding into routine clinical practice. This time lag is due to a combination of factors, including the need to validate research findings, the fact that clinical trials are complex and take time to conduct and then analyze, and because disseminating information and educating healthcare workers about a new advance is not an overnight process.

Once sufficient evidence has been generated to demonstrate a benefit to patients, or "clinical utility," professional societies and clinical standards groups will use that evidence to determine whether to incorporate the new test into clinical practice guidelines. This determination will also factor in any potential ethical and legal issues, as well economic factors such as cost-benefit ratios.

The NHGRI Genomic Medicine Working Group (GMWG) has been gathering expert stakeholders in a series of Genomic Medicine meetings to discuss issues surrounding the adoption of genomic medicine. Particularly, the GMWG draws expertise from researchers at the cutting edge of this new medical specialty, with the aim of better informing future translational research at NHGRI. Additionally the working group provides guidance to the National Advisory Council on Human Genome Research (NACHGR) and NHGRI in other areas of genomic medicine implementation, such as outlining infrastructural needs for adoption of genomic medicine, identifying related efforts for future collaborations, and reviewing progress overall in genomic medicine implementation.

At NHGRI, the Division of Genomic Medicine administers research programs with a clinical focus. A number of research programs currently underway are generating the evidence base, and designing and testing the implementation of genome sequencing as part of an individual's clinical care:

Within NHGRI's Division of Policy, Communications, and Education, the Policy and Program Analysis Branch (PPAB), and the Genomic Healthcare Branch (GHB) are both involved in helping pave the way for the widespread adoption of genomic medicine.

The goal of treatment is to reduce pain, improve function, and prevent further joint damage. The underlying cause often cannot be cured.

LIFESTYLE CHANGES

Lifestyle changes are the preferred treatment for osteoarthritis and other types of joint swelling. Exercise can help relieve stiffness, reduce pain and fatigue, and improve muscle and bone strength. Your health care team can help you design an exercise program that is best for you.

Exercise programs may include:

Your health care provider may suggest physical therapy. This might include:

Other things you can do include:

MEDICINESS

Medicines may be prescribed along with lifestyle changes. All medicines have some risks. You should be closely followed by a doctor when taking arthritis medicines.

Over-the-counter medicines:

Prescription medicines:

It is very important to take your medicines as directed by your doctor. If you are having problems doing so (for example, because of side effects), you should talk to your doctor. Also make sure your doctor knows about all the medicines you are taking, including vitamins and supplements bought without a prescription.

SURGERY AND OTHER TREATMENTS

In some cases, surgery may be done if other treatments have not worked. This may include:

DENVER -- Stem cell therapy soon might become the go-to treatment option for patients with osteoarthritis or chronic injury. But is the treatment for everybody?

It was the answer for former Broncos player Mark Schlereth, who dealt with daily pain.

I call it a varying degree of crappiness of how I feel," Schlereth said.

Schlereth played guard in the NFL for 12 seasons, and aches and pain were considered the daily norm for him.

You have to understand when you play that game you live with a certain amount of pain your entire adult life," he said.

He has the broken helmet he played with to prove it.

This was a helmet that I actually broke; I cracked it in a game," Schlereth said.

All the hits, blocks and big games came with a price, according to Schlereth.

Twenty knee surgeries, a bunch of elbow surgeries, it's back surgeries, kidney surgery, 29 combined surgeries," he said.

It wasnt until recently that the three-time Super Bowl champion found stem cell therapy, a treatment many in the medical community are hailing as a miracle.

Its amazing what a difference its made, he said.

Dr. Michael Cantor injected both of Schlereths shoulders with a combination of the former football player's own plasma, platelets and stem cells.

These platelets will then send a signal out to the bone marrow to send in the stem cells and once they arrive in the bloodstream at the site, the platelets drive the reaction and say, stem cells lay down new cartilage, new bone, new ligament," Cantor said.

Dr. Joel Cherdack of Denver Regenerative Medicine says its like hitting the reset button.

Weve been able to have them walking around pain free within four weeks," he said.

It promotes a process of healing in the body, giving it a second chance.

Youll wake up one morning and go, 'Wow, I was in a position sleeping that I couldnt have slept six weeks ago,' Schlereth said.

This is where the unthinkable is now becoming a reality.

I think its going to be a revolution in orthopedics, said Dr. Cecilla Pascual-Garrido, the leading researcher on stem cell therapy at University of Colorado Hospital.

But she did say this treatment isnt for everyone.

The time that we have to treat these patients is the time between when they were active and happy and between when they really need a hip replacement," Pascual-Garrido said.

Pat Lynch was a lifelong runner, and years of pounding the streets and mountain trails left him with daily hip and back pain. The pain has been so debilitating that it takes away from everyday things, including his job.

Lynch decided to look into stem cell treatments, so he sought out Pascual-Garrido, who told him he was too far gone, saying it would not be appropriate in his case to do stem cells.

The key is to have a patient with early osteoarthritis. If you have a patient with advanced osteoarthritis, the therapy will not work, Pascual-Garrido said.

Lynchs hip is nearly bone on bone; Pascual-Garrido said the stem cell cant regenerate tissue or cartilage that isnt there.

Its still research and we will have many years ahead to understand and see which patient is going to be beneficial from this treatment," she said.

Lynch is left with the option of living in pain or having a hip replacement.

Im not particularly fond of taking a chunk of my body out and replacing it with steel. I would rather do stem cells," he said.

In the Schlereth household, Mark is not the only one who has received this stem cell treatment. His Major League Baseball playing son Daniel has also undergone the treatment.

Mark Schlereth said hes looking forward to getting the therapy everywhere it hurts.

You know, Im going to be like the bionic man by the time its all said and done. Its just going to take a little time," he said.

It can cost anywhere from $1,200 to $8,000 a treatment.

Stem cell is not covered by insurance, but doctors said this is the future of medicine.
