PLACENTA THERAPY

FOR CHRONIC DEGENERATIVE DISEASES

AND ANTI-AGEING
PREFACE
For more than 5000 years, placenta has been used in Chinese traditional medicine for the
purpose of rejuvenation and for treatment of various chronic diseases. In particular, it was
believed that placenta would enhance liver and kidney function as well as reverse infertility and
impotence. Scientific research has indeed shown that a term placenta contains large amounts of
growth factors, hormones, cytokines, antibodies, amino acids, vitamins and minerals that all have
potential benefits for repair and regeneration processes in cells, tissues and organs. Clinical
experience has demonstrated that treatment with placental tissue or extracts thereof can improve
circulation, inhibit inflammation, enhance autonomous nervous system regulation, speed up
wound healing, balance hormone levels and boost the immune system.
Placenta and baby share the same uterus, genes and heritage until the time of birth. As a
biochemical treasure house, the placenta is supporting the babys growth and development in the
womb during the entire pregnancy. At the same time, it facilitates a tight co-operation between
the needs of the baby and those of the mother. At birth, placenta contains a wide range of
biologically active substances including those, which the human foetus is unable to make.
Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated that premature ageing, as well as chronic
degenerative diseases and other ailments can be treated successfully with placental tissue or
placenta extracts. Administration of placenta in these conditions has resulted in improved function
of metabolic processes within the cardiovascular, endocrine, immune, musculoskeletal, and
central nervous systems thereby relieving symptoms and slowing down ageing.
Most of us hope for a long meaningful life and nobody wants to be burdened with poor health, fast
degeneration, or pain as they age. Throughout history, mankind always has searched for the
proverbial "fountain of youth". Our modern conventional health care systems have indeed brought
us a longer life expectancy through high-tech medicine and acute crisis management. However,
they have failed terribly in the fields of premature ageing, chronic degenerative diseases and
cancer. It is hoped that the knowledge gained from empirical, bio-energetic and integrated
biological medicine will impart a longer life with vitality. We are all aware of show business
personalities and other celebrities of our time, for whom the ageing process appears to have
stopped. They continue to look well, be attractive, and they are in great shape, even in old age.
Certainly, healthy nutrition, exercise and plastic surgery may play an important role here, but with
more than mere appearance, these famous people continue to exude an aura and body language
that identifies them with younger age groups. The reason is that many of them frequent the
famous clinic spas and medical centres in Europe, including the Niehans, Paracelsus and
Aeskulap Clinics, which specialise in regeneration and, specifically, in the medically respected
techniques of cellular, RNA and placenta therapy. These treatment modalities have made it
possible for these celebrities to maintain a very active lifestyle that otherwise would be
impossible. The recipients seem to retain the vitality of youth, making it possible to enjoy the fruits
of success well into their senior years.

WHAT IS PLACENTA THERAPY?

Placenta therapy can be traced back to the 1930's when Soviet surgeon Vladimir Filatov noticed
that pregnant women were remarkably healthy during the third trimester of pregnancy and for six
months following delivery. He pioneered research and experimentation that led to the
development of the term placenta therapy, which involves the injections of placental extract
and/or the implantation of a certain amount of full-term placenta (after a normal baby is born).
In placenta therapy, placenta extract of placenta is administered via intramuscular injection into
the human body for therapeutic purposes. This placenta is then broken down into their basic
elements (enzymes, polypeptides, deoxyribonucleic acids, ribonucleic acids and other basic
organic substances) and reused by the cells, tissues and organs of the person treated. Placenta
therapy actually "wakes up" dormant cells within the human body, thereby stimulating growth and
function of existing tissue and repairing or regenerating old and malfunctioning cells. Placenta
therapy offers something that vitamins, minerals and other conventional or natural treatments
cannot. It can provide the exact components necessary for injured or diseased tissue to heal and
regenerate. While most pharmaceutical drugs work by suppressing certain symptoms over a
short period of time and only as long as they are taken, placenta therapy stimulates the bodys
own healing and revitalising powers and exerts a long term effect.

PLACENTA THERAPY IN ANTI-AGEING

Ageing is one of the most natural processes and, strictly speaking, defines earthly life's time limit.
All earthly life is subject to wear and deterioration, a process which, in fact, begins shortly after
birth. Mankind has always dreamed of halting the degenerative ageing process and turning back
the clock to attain eternal youth. Nature, of course, always denied us fulfilment of this age old
wish. Recently, epoch making advances in medical science have assured us that the average life
expectancy will become significantly longer. As a result, the human organism will be subjected to
a significantly longer period of wear. Although the degenerative ageing process is inevitable, it
can be reduced or dramatically slowed with placenta therapy in the context of detoxification, bioterrain correction, and other biological therapy. Allopathic medicine treats symptoms of ageing
and disease with artificially synthesised, frequently toxic chemicals which are not found in the
natural body. The allopathic physician utilises a single chemical or treatment series of
chemotherapy to enhance or inhibit a particular enzyme, cellular substrate or organ function,
hoping to alter the perceived symptom or disease state. The allopathic physician works with
toxins, so he/she must constantly evaluate the risk to benefit relationship of a single drug, or
worse, a combination of drugs. Placenta therapy, on the other hand, purports to supply nonhuman, low antigenic, genetic cellular components by tissue injection to renew biological function.
Pharmaceuticals tend to work symptomatically and not causally. In effect, the drugs only work as
long as we are taking them, whereas placenta therapy, as a biological treatment, has a longer
term effect without the fear of dangerous side effects.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PLACENTA THERAPY?

As a therapy for revitalisation and rejuvenation, AESKULAP PLACENTA has a number of
benefits aside from managing the effects of ageing. Some examples are:

Regenerates cells, tissues, and organs

Increases flexibility in joints and discs
Improves immune system against diseases
Improves alertness and mental awareness
Lightens facial pigmentation
Refines facial pores and a glow to your skin

Improves skin elasticity and thickness; enhances skin texture

Improves sleep patterns
Improves in blood circulation
Enhances stamina and energy level
Renews sexual satisfaction
Eliminates constipation
Decreases pre-menstrual tension and related feminine problems
Reduces pre-menopause syndrome and a delay in menopause
Firms sagging bust and develops bust in cases of women with under developed bust size
Stabilises weight to a normal level
Decreases serum concentrations of cholesterol and triglycerides
Decreases risk of heart disease
Relieves symptoms related to any chronic disease
Increases vigour and energy

IS PLACENTA THERAPY SAFE?

AESKULAP PLACENTA is manufactured in Germany, under stringent safety and quality
assurance regulations and constant supervision by the Health Authorities. AESKULAP
PLACENTA is tested for HIV1, HIV2, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Syphilis and Cytomegalovirus
(CMV). A number of studies, as well as decades of clinical experience demonstrate the safety
and effectiveness of these preparations as a biological therapy with the potential to improve
metabolic activity and repair function within cells, tissues and organs
