Anti Aging Clinic
Why do people make such a big deal in people bleaching their skin?

So i happen to currently work in a dermatologist clinic and white people come in here all the time getting chemical peels with (hydroquinone) and microdermabrasions. I really just want to know why when blacks bleach their skin its self hatred but when whites do it its anti-aging..I find that funny, sometime I think blacks are the ones oppressing themselves…Yes, some ppl hate themselves but that does not represent the majority..some people just want even skin tone and have skin problems like melesma.

I think that blacks in the US have gone through an elaborate denial process in order to emotionally cope with the fact that they have historicaly been taught to think less of themselves and each other in many different ways. Yes, many families have faught against this; some more than others. But, we are all still American and our culture is American, and unfortunately racism is a part of American culture; racist hierarchies don’t just float from white to black-these ideas taint EVERYONE that lives here, including immigrants.

Black people in the US are in denial about how they feel about what they are, and react defensively anytime someone questions it, because they would have to go through serious self-analyzation and see all the nasty things they have been unknowingly taught to value if they listened.

One example, is how black people are angry at and make fun of Michael Jackson’s nose because he changed it to look whiter obsessively. But the thing is, black people were the ones that teased him about his nose width and shape in the first place, black people did that. But, black people never ever want to own up to that.

BET is so obvious about their preference for racially mixed female hosts who contrast their racially average black male hosts its ridiculous, yet no-one says anything about it.

Virtually everybody hates Clarence Thomas, I know, but he is a product of our environment as well. He was teased so badly about his skin color, that well, he turned out the man that he did-not because of white people, but because of black people.

Another example, is when the radio host that called the darker/shorter-haired of the two black girls college basketball black teams “nappy headed hos.” Where in the world do you think he got that wording from? Nobody else but black people; he heard it, and repeated it. Everybody was outraged, but nobody wanted to take responsibility for teaching those words to this ignorant old white man. Nobody brought out the fact that the issue was actually a color thing and not a strictly race thing cuz both teams were black, one lighter with longer hair and the other darker with more natural styles! Heaven forbid, we open that can of worms about how we label and value different black women amongst ourselves.

Black people can be oftentimes be very hateful because of internalized racism, but people would rather stay slavish and not question their beliefs by telling themselves that they don’t have any self-work to do.

How do you think slavery worked anyway? People weren’t in chains constantly. No, they were walking to the store and back and going about their daily lives,unchained, but mentally enslaved-no chains needed. That’s gonna take way more than a century to undo.

The Secret History of Anti-Aging Medicine

The Elements of Anti Aging Clinics

Many anti aging clinics are run by medical doctors and are all the rage these days. They seek to bring all of the various treatments into one convenient location. Some anti aging clinics have better results than others so always contact the clinic prior to signing up for one to see what you can expect from them.

Some of the anti aging clinic will specialize in nutrition, others will specialize in exercise or supplements and some will even specialize in surgery. Some of the clinics will specialize in several of these venues. Others will expound the benefits of the latest and greatest fads.

Your own belief system should play a major role in determining what type of anti aging practice to use. If you believe the nutrition is the way to go or if exercise, acupuncture, supplements or surgery will be of the most benefit to you then by all means, seek out the clinic that specializes in the same thing that you believe in.

You are what you eat. Eating right is something that is important, regardless of your age, for a person’s overall health. Many anti aging clinics recommend that the best foods to combat the aging process are natural foods. This includes unprocessed fruits and vegetables as well as foods such as beans. Processed foods such as bread and pasta are generally not recommended in large quantities.

Exercise is something that is recommended for all age groups and is helpful in maintaining your overall health. Most Anti aging clinics also recommend exercise to their patients on a daily basis. Even minor improvements in exercise habits have been shown to improve overall health. Many anti aging clinics will recommend an exercise program that includes both cardio exercise and strength training exercises, such as walking and lifting weights.

Many different types of supplements are recommended by anti aging clinics. These supplements range from the very controversial human growth hormone (HGH) and DHEA to everyday multi-vitamin supplements, to almost everything in between. Other specific supplements may focus on specific things that may deteriorate with aging such as memory or energy levels.

Surgical methods may include liposuction, mesotherapy, face-lifts, botox injections, and a multitude of other various tucks and lifts. Not all anti aging clinics offer surgical services.

Many different types of alternative medicine are also offered by anti aging clinics to combat aging and may include acupuncture, chelation therapy, and oxidative therapy.

Common Vitamins and over the counter products can help with aging such as Lecithin, Zinc, Aloe Vera, Amino Acids.

Lecithin has shown to improve memory and learning and can be expected to have anti depressive effects as well.

Zinc is needed for healing and maintaining healthy tissues.

Aloe Vera will help rejuvenate and tone skin all over. A naturally cooling gel, the Aloe Vera botanical ingredients work together to stimulate the blood circulation and naturally soften the skin.

Amino Acids are the building blocks of protein and are the vital components of skin, hair, muscle tissue, the body’s organs, blood cells, various enzymes and hormones.
