What You're Accustomed To |
The CENIGENT Approach |
| GENERAL PHILOSOPHY |
Aging and age-related chronic diseases inevitably occur and should be accepted.
Symptoms should be treated as they appear, typically with pharmacological doses of medication and/or surgical intervention. |
Aging, age-related chronic diseases and health decline occur due to functional deterioration of the 8 CENIGENT systems. By proactively restoring optimal functioning to all 8 systems, we can delay typical symptoms while enabling healthy aging and peak health – using non-surgical, safe, restorative therapies. |
| MAJOR GOAL |
Treat and temporize existing disease(s). |
Prevent disease and restore health by optimizing the primary systems that lead to a variety of chronic diseases. |
| MAJOR APPROACH |
Symptoms-based: Treat symptoms and disease as they emerge. |
Systems-based: Predictive testing and assessments followed by restorative measures to optimize the major systems in order to prevent age-related health decline and achieve peak health. |
| TESTING & DIAGNOSTICS |
Order lab and diagnostic tests once there are symptoms and disease present. Infrequent preventive tests. |
Comprehensive predictive and preventive testing of more than 750 biomarkers; screening and total body imaging diagnostics to assess all aspects of existing and potential health decline; ample follow-up testing to allow for fine-tuning. |
| USE OF GENOMICS |
Infrequent - limited mainly to staging cancers, checking for fetal abnormalities, paternity testing or rare genetic diseases. |
Use genomic testing and SNPs to personalize each therapy program, allowing for safe hormone replacement therapies and creating a nutrigenomic plan. |
| CUSTOMIZED THERAPY |
Mainly uses pharmacological doses of drugs and invasive surgical options to treat disease. Medical treatments are most often “one-size-fits-all” experiences. |
Use of safe, non-surgical, restorative therapies to optimize each of the 8 critical systems in a 52-week personalized action plan customized right down to the individual’s genetic profiling and unique risk factors. |
| VIEWS ON MITOCHONDRIA |
Leave mitochondria as is. |
Mitochondria play a critical role in aging and many chronic diseases. Use all known measures to keep mitochondria at peak functioning levels. |
| VIEWS ON HORMONES |
Treat only when there is deficiency and disease. In women with menopause, briefly give synthetic estrogen-progesterone to relieve menopausal symptoms. |
Restore any decline and deficiency of all the major hormones only after specific genetic and other testing. In women with menopause, only after favorable genetic testing, use bio-identical, custom-dosed topical estrogens and progesterone. |
| VIEWS ON CHRONIC INFLAMMATION |
Recognized as causing many diseases. Treat with pharmacological doses of anti-inflammatory drugs, cholesterol-lowering medication and others. |
One of the fundamental systems that is thoroughly assessed and optimized using predictive lab tests. Address all barriers that lead to chronic inflammation to ensure peak health. |
| ROLE OF CHRONIC STRESS |
Neither emphasized nor addressed as a major cause of health decline. |
A complete approach is utilized to address chronic stress, one of the fundamental barriers to optimal health. |
| PATIENT EDUCATION |
Minimal and infrequent. |
A frequent and essential part of the program is to ensure that each patient understands health choices and behaviors that promote peak health. |
| AVERAGE ANNUAL NUMBER OF PATIENTS |
2000 to 4000 |
40 to 70 |
| DURATION OF PATIENT / DOCTOR VISIT |
15 to 20 minutes |
1 to 3 hours |
| FREQUENCY OF FOLLOW-UP |
As needed once symptoms appear or scheduled depending on the disease. |
A 52-week program with regular follow-ups to ensure fine-tuning and effectiveness. At least 15 to 25 hours of one-on-one time per year with the doctor. |
| FOLLOW-UP FOCUS AND DURATION |
Focus on patient’s single concern, health problem, or symptom of a disease. |
Focus on all 8 critical systems to ensure that the whole body is functioning optimally – exploring and listening to every concern expressed by the patient. |
| OFFICE SETTING & EXPERIENCE |
| Impersonal, clinical environment; paper gowns. |
|
Relaxing, warm, attentive and soothing environment; terrycloth robes & healthy beverages. |
| ACCESS |
| Difficult to schedule visits & rare opportunities to speak directly with the doctor. |
|
Same day appointments, 24/7 direct emergency access to CENIGENT doctors via their cell phones. |
| CONVENIENCE |
Long waits, inflexible hours & difficult to schedule appointments. |
Same day appointments, minimal waits & office hours. |
| RESULTS |
Temporizes diseases and symptoms. Age-related health decline taken for granted. Side-effects from medication likely. |
Achieve and enjoy healthy aging, peak health and vitality – at any age. |
