As I reflect upon another birthday drawing near, I have to thank and acknowledge Dr. Edmund Chein who is responsible for me being able to celebrate another birthday.

It has been 12 years since I started as a patient of Dr. Edmund Chein's.  Prior to those years I had expectations of only reaching 50 years old and very little hope that I would make it. At age 35 I was diagnosed with heart problems.  I was told that I probably inherited these heart problems from my family. I was diagnosed with coronary artery spasms, diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle, prinzmetals angina, Reynauds's, and high cholesterol.  All this necessitated trips to the hospital, along with an angiogram and the various heart related tests while taking a variety of heart medicines.  I knew my fate was evitable. As the years passed, I felt resigned  for I felt I was one step closer to my early demise.

One of the problems worse than feeling the effects from  a serious disease is not being able to get the help you need.  My health concerns were brushed off as I was dismissed with an edict to "learn to live with it".

With my husband, George, under Dr. Edmund Chein’s care, I witnessed a dramatic change of events as to his health. It was so quick and dramatic that I did not want to be left behind. I wanted to be in the program to realize these health benefits. At age 47, when I became Dr. Edmund Chein's patient, I remember telling him that my body and organs felt much older than George's even though I was younger.

That day in Dr. Edmund Chein's office not only changed my life, but in my case gave me back my life. I looked into Dr. Edmund Chein’s sincere, compassionate eyes and put all my trust in him. He methodically explained how hormone-balancing therapy with bioidentical hormones improves age-related diseases and reverses biological age so that you can enjoy the quality of your life.

Today I enjoy a very strong memory, good muscle strength and an excellent immune system. 
I have a sense of purpose and a meaningful life.  A reason to be out of bed early, for I am excited about life. 
In a recent  Cardiac Angiography on  a 64 slice CT scanner the results from my heart tests showed that my prior medical conditions were virtually non existent. My personal Cardiologist  was astonished at the results of  the tests.

Happy? You bet I am! But I am also angry at all those lost years and money wasted with conventional doctors that treat and “band-aid” the symptoms instead of the disease. The doctors never measured the blood levels of all my hormones or replaced them to that of a young adult. Instead, it was more invasive tests and prescribing what the drug companies promote. They had me on a mindset program of eventual sitting in the corner of life like a potted plant, watching life pass me by.

Biological age is not set in stone, nor must it advance in lockstep side by side, hand in hand with the passing of chronological years. So don’t buy into the notion of once you are old, there is nothing you can do about it. That is not true. The picture the mainstream doctors paint of the Golden Years is a bit tarnished.

That is why it sickens me to see what the Medical Board of California and the DEA have contrived against Dr. Edmund Chein. The DEA recently revoked his controlled drug permit because they say he is exporting drugs to patients in other countries and that he does not have an exporter’s permit. The DEA has it all wrong, for Dr. Edmund Chein is NOT in the business to export drugs to merchants so that they can resell them!

There is a huge difference between "exporting" and "dispensing." If they are going to accuse someone of something, they should get their facts right and find out what the meaning of the words are. He dispenses hormones to patients. He does NOT export hundreds and thousands of boxes of hormones and drugs to merchants so that they can turn around and resell them. Dr. Edmund Chein is a physician, not an exporter.

Luckily, the DEA’s decision is not final, and Dr. Edmund Chein is currently appealing it in federal district court. So why is the abusive DEA singling out and instigating actions against Dr. Edmund Chein? Could it be because Dr. Edmund Chein is not conforming and is instead challenging mainstream establishment doctors?

Ask yourself this: Why don’t physicians as a whole measure all our hormones and replace the ones we are deficient in? Why would traditional doctors as a whole make us suffer the physical deterioration while telling us this is normal, natural aging and you can’t do anything about it? Is the reason perhaps that mainstream doctors don’t prescribe what drug companies won’t promote? Since your body’s hormones cannot be patented, the drug companies won’t promote what they can’t patent. There is just no money in it.

Dr. Edmund Chein broke the chain of unnecessary early death that I am positive was to become my legacy. It was not until the day I met Dr. Edmund Chein that I discovered that biological aging is not inevitable. Slowing or even stopping the destruction process and significantly reversing the disease and physical deterioration called natural aging is not only possible but virtual reality.

I know . . . for in a few days I will celebrate my 60th birthday. I am going to kick up my heels and celebrate the very precious life that was returned to me. Thanks to the dedication and research of Dr. Edmund Chein. I celebrate the fact that Dr. Edmund Chein is an ethical and courageous man and physician of conviction to stand up for what he knows is right. Being a principled humanitarian, he will not cave in by following the mainstream doctors of today. Thankfully for us, he continues on with his innovative research for the betterment of his patients and mankind. The quality of our lives depends on Dr. Edmund Chein’s research and work.

In 2003, the California Medical Board revoked Dr. Edmund Chein’s medical license for championing the physician’s right to use human growth hormone on adults for anti-aging. After a long nine months, the Superior Court of the state of California decided that the board and its “expert” were incorrect and Dr. Edmund Chein’s medical license was reinstated.

Pioneers in medicine are always subjected to criticism and persecution. We don’t need Dr. Edmund Chein to waste his valuable time appealing baseless allegations; we need him to devote his full time to advancing his medical research.

You owe it to yourself to consult with the compassionate, innovative pioneer and inventor of Total Hormone Replacement Therapy . . . Dr. Edmund Chein.

Sincerely,
