Anti Aging American Medicine Medical Academy Eslpod Effects Organization

Founded in 1993, the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine is a nonprofit organization that "promotes" (encourages and supports) the development and use of anti-aging medicine. It has "trained" (educated) and "certified" (awarded a diploma to) about 26,000 healthcare professionals, but many "respected" (admired by others) organizations and individuals do not believe the organization's claim and "refuse" (will not accept, have, or do) to recognize anti-aging medicine as a medical "field" (an area of study). For example, the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) and the American Medical Association (AMA) do not recognize the field.

Some of the recommendations of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine are "widely respected" (respected and agreed to by many people) in the medical community. For example, almost everyone agrees that a "healthy diet" (eating good, nutritious foods) and "exercise" (physical movement and activity) can minimize the effects of aging. But the American Academy of Anti-Aging promotes "hormone treatment" (the use of chemicals that are found naturally in the body) and other practices that other "medical practitioners" (doctors and other people who practice medicine) do not "condone" (approve of).

"Adherents" (people who follow something) of the organization say that it conducts valuable research, but "opponents" (people who are against something) argue that the so-called research is "quackery" (fraudulent practices related to medicine intended to trick people). Opponents "accuse" (say that something is wrong or illegal) the organization's "journal" (academic publication) of pretending to present scientific medical research when it is really just advertising "unproven" (not yet shown to work) anti-aging products in order to "make a profit" (earn money).
