Benefits of Epithalon

Benefits of Epithalon

Aging Deceleration

Epithalon increases telomerase activity and telomere elongation in human cells. A study shows to induce a 33% increase in telomere elongation which is directly involved in the aging process. There was a human trial done over a 12-year 9 period with patients treated with Epithalon and a placebo group. The results of this study demonstrated a 28% decrease in overall mortality with those treated with Epithalon and a 2-fold decrease in cardiovascular mortality by decreasing the functional age and degree of cardiovascular aging.

Tumor Suppression

There has been a lot of scientific research made and still is being made on the use of epithalon against cancer. It was found that epithalon has inhibitory effects on the development and growth of tumors with studies done on mammary tumors, colon carcinogenesis, and prostate cancer just to name a few. Tumors exposed to epithalon have been shown to shrink in size. Treatment with epithalon stopped the spread of tumors in mice and halting the spread of cancer. Due to its role in telomerase activity along with endocrine and immune function, epithalon has been used for its anti-tumor properties in hormone-dependent cancer.

Anti-Oxidant Effects

Research has shown that epithalon is a powerful antioxidant that eliminates oxygen free radicals responsible for damaging and killing cells. This process, known as oxidative stress, is the root cause of a wide variety of age-related diseases. It is important to note that the human lifespan is inversely related to the number of oxygen free radicals in the human body, and epithalon is responsible for slowing down and destroying these killer radicals. Since free radicals are the main source of degenerative diseases, eliminating them prevents diseases such as cancer, dementia, Alzheimer’s, muscle and joint pain, heart disease, and more.

Restoring Normal Sleep Patterns

As we age, melatonin content in our blood decreases considerably. Epithalon plays a key role in our bio-rhythm control and affects the endocrine, nervous and immune systems. In fact, reduced melatonin production leads to age-related neurodegenerative changes and certain diseases. Melatonin’s importance is clear, however, supplementing melatonin, in some cases, can provoke considerable side-effects, such as cancer growth. Finding a suitable way to safely increase melatonin levels is an important endeavor. Epithalon stimulates the production of melatonin through its action on the pineal gland, and this is why people taking epithalon have reported better sleep patterns and increased deep sleep, which is essential for the body to repair itself and strengthen the immune system.

Regulation of Inflammation

There are countless disorders that arise due to dysregulation of the immune system and the inflammatory process. Therefore, using therapies that have the ability to help regulate the inflammatory pathway can help treat disorders. Epithalon has extensively been shown to help regulate the function of mediators such as cytokines, C-reactive protein, and other acute-phase reactants.

Insulin and Cholesterol

Due to Epithalon’s variety of activity amongst different cells in the endocrine system, amongst other systems, due to telomerase upregulation and pineal gland activation, it has been shown that epithalon significantly improves insulin sensitivity, glucose utilization, and overall cholesterol health. In regard to cholesterol health, it has been shown to significantly decrease LDL and VLDL while significantly increasing levels of HDL.

What are Telomeres?

Telomeres are the caps at the end of each strand of DNA that protect our chromosomes, like the plastic tips at the end of shoelaces. They protect the end of the chromosome from deterioration or from fusion with neighboring chromosomes. Telomerase (a.k.a. telomere terminal transferase) is the enzyme capable of elongating telomeres while protecting the DNA from the damage caused by aging. Younger people produce a relatively large amount of telomerase and longer telomeres. The longer the telomere strands are, the better the cell health and replication they provide. However, as people age, the production of telomerase falls and consequently cell replication and health decline, which is the main reason that people age.

Telomere Testing

Taylor Medical Wellness Group is now offering telomere testing. With just a prick of blood from your finger, we are able to determine your actual genetic age. Once the results are back, the next step is to improve your genetic age!

Discover how well you are aging

What are Peptides?

Peptides are small proteins and are the short chains of amino acids. The focus is on one peptide, in particular, Epithalon, because it increases telomeres length. Telomere length determines longevity.  Studies show that by increasing telomere length Epithalon causes the following functions in the body to improve.

TaylorMDFormulations GenPro™

GenPro™ is an epithalon provided by TaylorMDFormulations to increase the amount of telomerase activity and will be available for purchase soon!

GenPro™ is composed of the peptide, Epithalon. Studies have shown that Epithalon may:

  •  Increase human lifespan
  •  Significantly boosting energy levels
  •  Promote deeper sleep
  •  Delay and prevent age-related diseases such as cancer,
  •  Reduce the likelihood of heart disease and dementia
  •  Improve skin health and appearance
  •  Accelerate healing of injured and deteriorating muscle cells

The International Peptide society has established protocols for epithalon. Five to ten injections of Epithalon can be administered at our office or at home. The number of treatments will be based on your present state of health and present telomere length which can be tested at the Taylor Medical Wellness Group.

Epitalon dosage

Due to the short length of the amino-acidic chain, epithalon is administrated orally, nasal spray drops or injectable (by far the most effective method) in 10 – 20 days-in-row cycles.

  • Oral administration: 2 – 8 mg/day, 2 – 3 servings per day
  • Nasal administration: 1 – 5 mg/day, 3 servings per day
  • Injectable administration: 0.5 – 3 mg/day, 1 – 2 injections per day (intramuscularly or subcutaneously)

Cerebrolysin Brain IV Therapy

Cerebrolysin is a low molecular weight, porcine-derived peptide preparation with free amino acids that has a variety of clinical applications due to its neuroprotective and neurotrophic properties. It is used as a neurotrophic agent for the treatment of ischemic stroke, brain trauma, and Alzheimer’s Disease. Cerebrolysin also known as  FPE 1070  consists of low-molecular peptides and possesses neuroprotective and neurotrophic repair properties. The active fragment of cerebrolysin is made of low molecular proteins that can penetrate the blood-brain (or blood-SCF) barrier.  Cerebrolysin has been proven to have neurotrophic action similar to nerve growth factors causing peripheral and central neuronal stimulation. It improves efficiency within the brain’s metabolism and improves cellular peptide synthesis. The neuroprotective properties of Cerebrolysin help to protect brain cells from lactic acid,  reduce the formation of free radicals and to decrease the neurotoxicity of certain amino acids.*

*Results may vary

Neurotrophic factors are molecules that are responsible for growing, maintaining and repairing neurons. They also have neuroprotective properties that strengthen neural pathways and the integrity of the neurons themselves. They are also responsible for promoting synaptic plasticity, which is a way the brain strengthens certain neural pathways. In situations where the brain needs to utilize neurotrophic factors to repair damaged neurons, such as in the case of neurological disease, Cerebrolysin can be administered to act as an analog to endogenous neurotrophic factors. Studies have shown that the use of Cerebrolysin as treatment of neurodegenerative disease has often proved effective as a means of symptomatic treatment as well as pathological suppression in both the short and long term. Additionally, due to its neuroprotective properties, Cerebrolysin has been shown to have the preventative potential for individuals who have a genetic predisposition to developing Alzheimer’s disease. Cerebrolysin’s neurotrophic effects may reduce the neurodegenerative pathology in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It decreases amyloid burden but the mechanisms involved are not understood. Cerebrolysin might reduce amyloid deposition by regulating amyloid (Ab) degradation or by modulating APP expression, maturation, or processing.*

Hair Loss Treatments

What Causes Hair Loss?

Hair loss, also known as alopecia, is a condition caused by the disruption of the body’s cycle of hair production. The scalp has over 100,000 hairs that cycle through periods of growing, resting, falling out, and regenerating.

A hair follicle growth cycle consists of three phases. During the anagen phase, which can last for years, hair grows robustly.  During the catagen phase, which lasts about ten days, hair stops growing and separates from its follicle.  During the telogen phase, the follicle rests for two or three months, and then the hair falls out. Shortly afterward, a new anagen phase begins as a new hair grows in the same follicle. Most people normally lose between  50 to 100 hairs per day.

Hair may begin to fall out more quickly than it is regenerated, leading to symptoms such as a receding hairline, hair falling out in patches, or overall thinning if the hair growth cycle is disrupted, or a hair follicle is damaged.

There are many reasons for hair loss in men and women.  Common causes include hormone imbalances, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, iron anemia, protein deficiency, rapid weight loss, low vitamin D levels, B vitamin deficiencies, autoimmune diseases Celiac Disease, stress, inflammation, fungal injections, prescription drugs, chemotherapy, radiation, hair braiding, and chemical hair treatments.  Hair loss can occur at any age but is most likely around age 40 when the body’s hormone levels began to decline. Pre-menopausal and menopausal women are more likely to experience hair loss due to hormone imbalances.

Prescription drugs are a common cause of hair loss since millions of Americans are prescribed drugs each year.

Here are some of the types of drugs are thought to cause hair loss, including:

Antibiotics

Cholesterol-lowering drugs

Anti-depressants

Steroids for autoimmune diseases

Birth control pills

Weight loss drugs

Anti-clotting medications

Anticonvulsants

Anti-hypertensives i.e. beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs i.e. Motrin

Mood stabilizers i.e. Lithium

Thyroid medication

Antacids

Gout Medication

Anti-arrhythmia medication

Most Common Type of Hair Loss

Androgenic Alopecia

Androgenetic alopecia is the most common type of hair loss, affecting more than 50 million men and 30 million women in America.  It affects many people at some point in their lives and can occur as early as late teens or early twenties.  It is caused when enzymes in the body convert testosterone into a metabolite which has the effect of shrinking the hair follicles. Androgenetic alopecia can be passed down through the genes on either the paternal or maternal side.

Male Pattern Baldness

About two out of three men experience hair loss by age 60, and most of the time it’s due to male pattern baldness. This type of hair loss, caused by a combo of genes and male sex hormones, usually follows a classic pattern in which the hair recedes at the temples, leaving an M-shaped hairline. In men, hair loss can begin any time after puberty and progress over the course of years or decades. It starts above the temples and continues around the perimeter and the top of the head, often leaving a ring of hair along the bottom of the scalp. Many men with male pattern hair loss eventually become bald.

Female Pattern Baldness

Female-pattern hair loss is basically the female version of male pattern baldness. In women, the hair slowly thins all over the scalp, but the hairline usually doesn’t recede. Many women experience this type of hair loss as a natural part of aging, although hair loss may begin any time after puberty. Female pattern hair loss can cause hair to thin dramatically, but only rarely does it lead to baldness.

Hair Loss Solutions

Taylor Medical Wellness, Weight Loss and Aesthetic Group provides non-invasive, non-surgical solutions for hair restoration. Our comprehensive treatment begins with a lab analysis i.e. hormone and blood testing to identify reversible causes of baldness. Our doctors will take  a thorough medical evaluation to identify common causes of hair loss to get to the root of your hair loss.*

Our hair growth solutions include PRP injections, mesotherapy of nutrients vital for hair growth, microneedling to stimulate hair follicle growth, peptide therapy,  topical medications and nutritional supplement packed with protein and vitamins necessary for hair growth. *

PRP  Hair loss Treatment

Hair Loss
Stop hair loss today!

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP Therapy) is derived by extracting blood during a venous blood drawn and then using special technology to spin and separate the blood into a platelet-rich plasma layer. PRP which contains growth factors is injected into the scalp using a very small needle that stimulates the growth and rejuvenation of new cells by waking up dormant hair follicles.  PRP therapy has been used for other medical conditions with great success and is now being used for hair rejuvenation and restoration. It strengthens existing hair while reducing hair loss and increasing the number of hair cells.  Both male and female patients with thinning hair regardless of the cause can benefit from the treatment.  We combine our PRP injection with microneedling and progesterone for optimal results.  The procedure takes about ninety minutes and a topical analgesics or local injection block may be used to number the scalp before injecting the PRP.  A series of three treatments one month apart is recommended. The cost per treatment varies based on the size and severity of the hair loss but start at $600 and  may go up to $1500 a treatment.*

*Results may vary

The patient usually begins to see results in one to six months with the maximum results seen in one year. The results usually last from one to two years, therefore, maintenance treatments every three to four months after the first year are recommended depending on the severity of your hair loss.  Hormone testing and treatment may be recommended especially in post-menopausal and older men since hormones can affect hair growth and loss.*

Advantages of PRP Therapy for hair loss*:

  • Non-surgical and non-invasive
  • Can help regrow and thickens hair on scalp, eyebrows, mustache and anywhere that  hair follicles grow
  • No downtime
  • No bandages or scars
  • Help thicken hair
  • Can help  regenerate new and dominant hair follicles
  • Improves  hair health, texture, growth and strength

*Results may vary

The O Shot Injection (Orgasm Shot)

The O Shot Injection (Orgasm Shot)

The O Shot injection is a very specific method of deriving blood growth factor and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and then injecting them into the vaginal area.   The O Shot injection helps women with urinary incontinence and sexual problems.  PRP is injected into the peri-urethral spaces and the clitoris  to stimulate regeneration and repair of cells in these areas  which can  result in better sexual function and bladder health.*

The O Shot Procedure

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is derived from a patient’s own blood.   It is prepared by centrifuging a patient’s blood sample yielding a higher concentration of platelet than is normally found in the blood.   The centrifuge spinning causes the blood to separate into layers that include: 1) red blood cells that are forced to the bottom of the vial, 2) White blood cells and platelets form a thin middle layer, called a buffy coat  and 3) Platelet-poor  plasma, or plasma with a low concentration of platelets that makes up the  top layer.  It is the middle layer that is extracted from the centrifuged blood that is used for the PRP injection preparation.

Plasma is the watery part of the blood that contains proteins, nutrients, glucose and other substances produced by the body.  It carries red and white blood cells, platelets and other substances that must travel in the blood.  Platelets secrete substances called growth factors that control cell division, stimulate tissue regeneration, and promote healing. PRP which contains a high amount of platelets is used for The Orgasm Shot ® (The ) Shot) due to its ability to stimulate tissue regeneration and increase blood flow.  The clitoris is number first with topical lidocaine.  Lidocaine is then injected to provide more numbing. The PRP is painlessly injected into the clitoris and vaginal area. There is no downtime and you can go immediately back to your normal activities.  We can provide umbilical stem cell therapy along with PRP for more severe cases or in older patients. *

The O Shot Injection can in some women improve orgasms, help dyspareunia (painful sex),  urgency and stress incontinence, relieve lichen sclerous, increase libido, and improve sensation–for improvement in sexual function, urinary function, and strengthening of relationships. A series of treatments is usually required to get the best results. Bioidentical hormone replacement may be necessary to improve the outcome of the O shot *

*Results may vary

  Women Who Can Benefit  from The O Shot Injection: 

  •  low sexual desire
  •  difficulty  becoming aroused
  •  difficulty achieving an orgasm
  •  pain with sex
  •  bladder urgency and frequency

We accept insurance!

Call 678-443-4000 today for an appointment!

For a limited time only receive a  complimentary $500 Femiwave treatment when you book an O shot.


Other Treatments That We Offer to Improve Vagina and Bladder Health

FemiWave

Femiwave™ vaginal rejuvenation uses energy waves pulses to stimulate vaginal and bladder tissue blood flow.  Energy wave therapy has been used for over a decade to treat medical conditions.  The procedure uses pulsating acoustic shock waves to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels that increases blood flow.  In addition, the procedure stimulates the growth of new nerve tissue. This process, called neurogenesis enhances sensitivity.  Also, energy wave therapy also increases blood flow and the growth of nerve cells and tissue regeneration in the bladder which improves bladder control and reduces leakage, urgency, and frequency. It is believed that the  energy waves also have the ability to “wake-up” dormant stem cells  which can lead to enhanced tissue growth and improved  function.*

Now this sound wave technology is being used for vaginal rejuvenation to tighten and restore the appearance and function to the vagina that can occur after childbirth and decline with age. Femiwave™e can be used to treat vaginal dryness, stenosis, and pain that may occur with menopause and other hormonal problems. It also helps with bladder conditions such as urgency, frequency, and incontinence. This non-ablative treatment is non-invasive and there is no cutting, injections or downtime involved. A probe about the size of a tampon is placed into the vagina and energy frequency is passed into the vaginal wall. Femiwave™ may  stimulate vaginal and bladder collagen production, improve blood flow to the vagina and bladder, increase  sensitivity, lubrication, and elasticity no matter what your age may be.*

Leaky bladder or urinary incontinence can occur at any age. It is, however, more likely to occur in women after childbirth who are overweight and as women age. There are two main types of urinary incontinence.  If you are suffering from stress incontinence, activities that increase pressure inside your abdomen cause urine to leak your bladder ring that normally holds it in. Coughing, sneezing, jumping, walking, exercising and lifting heavy objects can cause your bladder to leak. Urge incontinence may cause your bladder to suddenly empty without warning or make you urinate frequently.

Causes of urinary incontinence include:

  • Being overweight
  • Family history
  • Smoking, Caffeine, and Alcohol
  • Carbonated drinks and sparkling water
  • Artificial sweeteners
  • Food and drinks high in sugar
  • Spicy foods and chocolate
  • Citrus foods and drinks
  • Heart and blood pressure medications, sedatives, and muscle relaxants
  • Urinary tract infection and constipation
  • Pregnancy, menopause,  hysterectomy and hormone imbalance
  • Diabetes, hypertension and neurological conditions
  • Prescription medications

Femiwave™ Vaginal  Rejuvenation Therapy Benefits:

  • Fast, effective, pain-free, and non-surgical treatment
  • No downtime
  • Takes 15 minutes
  • Improves sensitivity and enjoyment
  • Treats orgasmic dysfunction
  • Tightens vaginal region
  • Strengthens vaginal muscles
  • Treats vaginal atrophy
  • Improves lubrication, dryness, burning, and itching
  • Improves painful intercourse
  • Reduces urinary leakage and urgency
  • Decreases incontinence
  • Improves overactive bladder
  • Restores a youthful-looking vagina
  • Treats recurrent vaginal infections
  • Safe alternative to  hormone therapy*

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement

Our holistic doctors provide bio-identical hormone replacement therapy ( BHRT) to improve vagina and bladder health. Hormone disorders can occur at any age and are oftentimes misdiagnosed by doctors since they can present as multiple symptoms that appear unrelated.  BHRT is a natural way for men and women to achieve hormonal balance and relieve the symptoms of decreased sensitivity and sex drive and vaginal dryness, atrophy, and pain. Bladder health is also improved with BHRT. It can also improve depression, fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, weight gain,  muscle loss, brain fog, hair loss, sexual dysfunction, and many other symptoms.  PMS, menopause, andropause,  hypothyroidism, adrenal gland dysfunction, and other hormone-related disorders are helped tremendously with BHRT.  Bioidentical hormones are plant-based compounds formulated in a laboratory to be identical to those which the body makes naturally. We prescribe BHRT  in several forms that include capsules, creams, troches, and pellets.  We only use FDA approved licensed compounding pharmacies. Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy can improve overall health, muscle mass,  weight, focus, memory, metabolism, energy levels, mood, sleep, and focus.  BHRT is important for maintaining the health of many vital organs like bone, brain, breast, and heart.  Our holistic therapies are tailored specifically to each patient to meet your goals and needs.*

Vaginal Dryness and Pain
Vaginal dryness is a common symptom of menopause and it affects one in three of menopausal women. It ranks in the top ten common problems occurring during menopause. However, vaginal dryness can occur at any age. The lack of vaginal moisture can greatly impact a woman’s sex life, self-confidence, and relationships. Decrease vaginal moisture can also make women more prone to vaginal yeast, bacterial and viral infections.

Vaginal Dryness and Estrogen Production
Estrogens are primarily made by the ovaries but are also produced by the cervix (uterus) and then released into the vaginal tissues. Before menopause, the vagina and skin and tissues around the vagina are kept supple, thick and moist by fluids and mucus released by cervical glands under the influence of estrogen. Estrogen also stimulates vaginal cells to produce glycogen. Glycogen is a substance that supports the growth of beneficial bacteria, which protect the vagina from infections.

Most women begin menopause between the ages of 45 and 55, but it can occur earlier or later in life. The ovaries make less estrogen after menopause. Decreased estrogen production can lead to thinning of the tissues around your vagina and a reduction in the number of glands that make mucus. The hormonal changes that occur during the menopause make the vagina shorter, less elastic, drier and result in the loss of fat tissue from around the genital area. Thinning and weakening of tissues around the opening of the bladder can occur leading to symptoms of urgency, frequency, recurrent urinary infections, and stress incontinence. These changes can take months or years to develop and vary from woman to woman. Atrophic vaginitis is the medical term to describe this condition when these vaginal changes produce bothersome symptoms that warrant medical intervention.

In addition to the vaginal changes, women may experience other changes during the menopausal transition. Hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, fatigue, urinary tract infections, urinary incontinence, acne, memory problems, thinning hair, skin discoloration, and unwanted hair growth may also occur.

What causes vaginal dryness?
The best way to combat vaginal dryness is to understand its causes and treatment options. The vaginal wall is kept moist and thick under the influence of estrogen. Estrogen levels drop during menopause, which may lead to vaginal thinning, unpleasant order, bladder problems, painful intercourse, discomfort during activities, and decrease vaginal moisture and elasticity. Other causes the can lead to decreased estrogen production include childbirth, breastfeeding, radiation, chemotherapy, anti-estrogen medications and the surgical removal of ovaries. Lack of or inadequate foreplay before sex, chronic sex, prolonged tampon use, endometriosis, and Sjogrens Syndrome. Cold and allergy medications, ulcer drugs, birth control pills, anti-depressants, anti-hypertensive medications can lead to decreased vaginal moisture. Avoid using douches, bubble baths, scented soaps, fragrances and lotions around the sensitive vaginal area, which can worsen dryness.

How is vaginal dryness treated?
The most common treatment for vaginal dryness due to low estrogen levels is topical estrogen therapy. You can get relief without taking large amounts of estrogen orally. Locally applied bio-identical estrogens are considered a much safer option than oral hormone therapy since most of them allow only minimal amounts of estrogen to enter into your circulation. They deliver estrogen to the vagina and surrounding tissues that increase tissue thickness, elasticity, and moisture.*

Vaginal estrogen cream treatment is used every day for about two weeks, and then twice a week for three additional months. Symptoms should improve after three weeks of treatment but repeated courses of treatment are often necessary.*

The Priapus Shot® Procedure For Male Enhancement and ED

The Priapus Shot®  Procedure For Male Enhancement and ED

The Priapus Shot ®  (The P Shot) for male enhancement and ED is a procedure that uses PRP  blood-derived growth factors extracted from the man’s own blood (autologous).   The name “The Priapus Shot ®” is registered with the US Patent & Trademark Office as a “service mark” to protect patients by indicating a specific protocol.*

Understanding Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet-rich plasma is derived from a patient’s own blood.   It is prepared by centrifuging a patient’s blood sample yielding a higher concentration of platelet than is normally found in the blood.   The centrifuge spinning causes the blood to separate into layers that include: 1) red blood cells that are forced to the bottom of the vial, 2) White blood cells and platelets form a thin middle layer, called a buffy coat  and 3) Platelet-poor  plasma, or plasma with a low concentration of platelets that makes up the  top layer.  It is the middle layer that is extracted from the centrifuged blood that is used for the PRP injection preparation.

Plasma is the watery part of the blood that contains proteins, nutrients, glucose and other substances produced by the body.  It carries red and white blood cells, platelets and other substances that must travel in the blood.  Platelets secrete substances called growth factors that control cell division, stimulate tissue regeneration, and promote healing. PRP which contains a high amount of platelets is used for The Priapus Shot ® (The  P Shot) due to its ability to stimulate tissue regeneration and increase blood flow.  The penis is number first with topical lidocaine.  Lidocaine is then injected to provide more numbing. The PRP is painlessly injected into the penis. There is no downtime and you can go immediately back to your normal activities.  We can provide umbilical stem cell therapy along with PRP for more severe cases or in older patients. *

For a limited time only receive a  complimentary $500 GainsWave treatment when you book a P shot.

 Insurance accepted!

The Priapus Shot ® (The P Shot ) Protocol

P Shot

The Priapus Shot ® procedure protocol involves patient selection, patient evaluation & education (including an explanation of consent), preparation of the PRP, local anesthesia, PRP injection and post-injection use of a pump on a daily basis. Other post injection steps can include: stopping smoking, CoQ10 (12), vitamin E (13), Trimix, and aerobic exercise. Protocol steps vary depending on the patient and those variations also comprise the Priapus Shot® protocol.*

The patient selection includes identifying those who may need hormonal treatment, or family counseling, or vascular surgery, as well as those who may have co-morbidities or who may be taking drugs that interfere with their health. Some patients are not treated with the Priapus Shot ® protocol because another treatment or no treatment is more appropriate.*

Taylor Medical Group evaluation protocol also includes screening for systemic cardiovascular disease, autonomic nervous system dysfunction and cell degeneration conditions that can affect overall health and wellness.  Our board-certified physicians are Priapus Shot ®  certified providers.

*Results may vary

The Priapus Shot®  Science

An early report that PRP may be useful in appeared in a paper published in Urology in 2003 mentioning that, in animal models, using blood-derived growth factors injected successfully treated erectile dysfunction and also mentioned that such a strategy may be feasible in men— actually providing a way to correct the underlying pathology (1). In contrast, to ED drugs that do not correct the underlying pathology of decreased penile circulation.*

Another animal study in 2010 showed that transferring adipocyte-derived stem cells (ADSCs)   caused endothelial cell growth (new blood flow) as well as increased nitric oxide activity in the dorsal nerve. But, the ADSCs were tagged before injection (to keep up with them) and most of the injected stem cells died! So the improvement seen was not from the maturation of the ADSCs but rather from recruitment and activation by growth factors of stem cells already in the body—indicating PRP may demonstrate a similar effect (2).*

Dr. Virag (also a pioneer of Trimix injections) published research demonstrating improvement in function, size, and correction of Peyronie’s disease with the use of PRP. His studies both published (and to be published) demonstrate a mean increase of 7 on the ED Intensity Score when PRP is injected into the plaque and corpus cavernosum. (3).*

The above studies and others not cited indicate an improvement in the health, circulation, and  tissue strength with the injection of blood-derived growth factors.*

VitaPro PT 141

VitaPro™ is our brand name of bremelanotide, also known as PT 141.  Bremelanotide, a peptide,  has undergone numerous studies looking at this peptide in providing relief from sexual dysfunction, both in women (low sex drive) and men ( erectile dysfunction.) PT-141 has also shown to exhibit its effects on libido enhancement through activation of the receptors in the brain. This is different than other medications that focus on the vascular system.*

Bremelanotide PT 141 is one of the most promising peptides that can deliver the best results when it comes to improving one’s sexual life.    PT 141 can be used as a solution for erectile dysfunction and male enhancement.  It is safe for men with cardiovascular disease since it does not act on the vascular system.  Many men choose bremelanotide for male enhancement to re-ignite their passion for engaging in sexual activity. It can help improve longer stronger erections, sexual desire, and stamina while decreasing premature ejaculations. While opting for the PT 141, individuals with mild to moderate may not need ED drugs.  PT 141  can be used along with ED drugs for those who suffer from severe erectile dysfunction. It may have men who don’t respond to ED drugs to respond to these medications.   Bremelanotide can be combined with testosterone hormone therapy and GainsWave ED treatment.

Testosterone Hormone Replacement

Most haven’t heard of male hormone replacement therapy for men. Hormone replacement therapy for women gets far more attention than male hormone replacement.  It is fairly common for older men to undergo testosterone decline.  After the age of 30, men lose as much as 1% of their testosterone hormone each year. Even though the process is normal, it can lead to bothersome symptoms like ED,  memory problems, fatigue, weight gain, muscle loss, depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Not only does testosterone hormone replacement therapy reverse the effects of andropause (male menopause), but it can also help men lead longer lives and improve their quality of life. Fortunately, male hormone replacement therapy can reverse these effects, and help men gain by their vigor and health.

Dr. Taylor is an ED doctor that specializes in bioidentical hormone replacement for men. Testosterone hormone replacement therapy can significantly change the way a man feels about himself. As they age, more and more men are turning to testosterone hormone therapy for heightened confidence, increased energy, improved sexual desire, and more satisfactory performance.

Testosterone Pellets for Men

Testosterone pellets are derived from natural plant sources and then modified at the molecular level to perfectly match what your body naturally produces. These pure bio-identical hormones are then crystallized and compressed into tiny cylinders about the size of a grain of rice. Pellets are available as testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen.

Testosterone pellets can deliver consistent, stable levels of hormones for up to 4 months.  Lidocaine is injected into the skin and then our ED doctor makes a half-inch incision in the buttocks area and inserts the pellet under the skin.  There is no pain or downtime with pellet implantation.  There are no fluctuations in hormone levels as commonly seen with oral, injection and topical delivery methods. This lack of fluctuation explains why pellets are more effective in treating hormone associated conditions and symptoms.*

Testosterone pellets appear to work better for hormone-related symptoms like erectile dysfunction, fatigue,  decreased muscle mass,  insomnia, moodiness,  anxiety, memory problems, and brain fog.  Bioidentical hormone pellets provide the most benefits in the treatment of hormone-related symptoms in men and women without the harmful side effects of synthetic hormones.*
