Human Growth Hormone Therapy
At the
Conscious Evolution Institute, our flagship Hormone Restoration
Service is HGH Injection Therapy. Most people associate HGH with
Puberty or Performance Enhancement, but the hormone is actually
vitally important to adult health as well. Our bodies use HGH to
stimulate cellular processes which keep us happy and healthy, and if
we don't produce enough of it, the body starts to enter a state of
decline, as well as the mind.
HGH
Deficiency has a number of significant symptoms, including weight
gain, depression, fatigue, loss of muscle mass, foggy memory, reduced
healing capacity, weakened immune system, and poor sleep. If you feel
like your body is losing the ability to keep up with your desire to
live a happy and fruitful life, Human Growth Hormone Deficiency may
be the root cause. Recombinant HGH Injections restore your body's
hormone balance, giving your body the raw materials needed to sustain
your life and your health.

Sermorelin Acetate Therapy
Recombinant
Sermorelin Therapy is an alternative to HGH Injections which can also
restore optimal HGH Balance. Rather than directly replace the HGH
that your body is no longer producing effectively, Sermorelin
encourages the pituitary gland to produce youthful levels of Human
Growth Hormone.
Both forms
of treatment are safe and effective, but some patients may qualify
for Sermorelin Injections, even if they don't qualify for HGH
Replacement Therapy.

Low-T Treatments
Testosterone
Deficiency is a common and widespread medical condition that affects
men all across the nation and the globe. Low-T is not only a
condition which affects sexual health, it also diminishes health and
wellness in a number of other powerful ways.
Symptoms
of Age Related Testosterone Deficiency (or Andropause) include high
anxiety, lack of energy, loss of strength and endurance, increased
weight gain, insomnia, restless sleep, erectile dysfunction, and lack
of libido. Low-T can also increase the risk of a number of health
conditions such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, and hypertension, which
can all have a devastating affect upon mortality risk. Testosterone
Replacement Therapy restores the body's natural sex-hormone balance,
encouraging a healthier metabolism and reversing the effects of
Andropause

HCG Weight Loss Therapy
Millions
of Americans attempt to lose weight every year, and more people fail
than succeed. Obesity is one of the biggest health crises in America
today, and being overweight can both tremendously reduce both your
quality of life and significantly increase your mortality risk from a
variety of chronic health conditions.
For
hundreds of thousands of men and women across the United States, HCG
Injections have been the answer to their weight loss woes. HCG is a
natural hormone produced by the human body which has the ability to
increase the success rate of dieting and speed up the weight loss
process. HCG Injections vastly reduce the influence of chemical
signals which influence hunger while also priming the body to burn
stubborn adipose fat over healthy muscle.

All About Independence, Missouri Geographic Area
Independence is the fourth largest city in the U.S. state of Missouri. Most of Independence lies within Jackson, of which it is the county seat. However a small portion lies in Clay County. It is a satellite city of Kansas City, Missouri and is part of the Kansas City Metropolitan Area. In 2010, The city had a total population of 116,830 and is the county seat of Jackson County, and is known as the "Queen City of the Trails" because it was a point of departure of the California, Oregon and Santa Fe Trails. Independence is also well known as the hometown of US President Harry S Truman. His Presidential Library and home are in the city, as are the graves of Truman and First Lady Bess Truman.
The city also played a pivotal role in the early history of the Latter Day Saint movement, and is home to the international headquarters of several Latter Day Saint denominations, most notably the Community of Christ (formerly the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints), whose Temple is located there. Other Latter Day Saint denominations headquartered in the city include the Church of Christ (Temple Lot) and the Church of Jesus Christ (Cutlerite), among others. A number of Restoration Branches are also located in and around Independence, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints maintains a visitor's center in the town.
Independence was originally inhabited by Missouri and Osage Indians, followed by the Spanish and a brief French tenure. It became part of the United States with the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. Lewis and Clark recorded in their journals that they stopped in 1804 to pick plums, raspberries, and wild apples at a site that would later form part of the city.
Independence was founded on March 29, 1827, and quickly became an important frontier town. Independence was the farthest point westward on the Missouri River where steamboats or other cargo vessels could travel, due to the convergence of the Kansas River with the Missouri River approximately six miles west of town, near the current Kansas-Missouri border. Independence immediately became a jumping-off point for the emerging fur trade, accommodating merchants and adventurers beginning the long trek westward on the Santa Fe Trail.
In 1831, members of the Latter Day Saint movement began moving to the Jackson County, Missouri area. Shortly thereafter, founder Joseph Smith, Jr. declared a spot west of the Courthouse Square to be the place for his prophesied temple of the New Jerusalem, in expectation of the Second Coming of Christ. Tension grew with local Missourians until the Latter Day Saints were driven from the area in 1833, the beginning of a conflict which culminated in the 1838 Mormon War. Several branches of this movement gradually returned to the city beginning in 1867, with many making their headquarters there. These include the Community of Christ (formerly the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints), the Church of Christ (Temple Lot) and the Restoration Branches.
Independence saw great prosperity from the late 1830s through the mid-1840s, while the business of outfitting pioneers boomed. Between 1848 and 1868, it was a hub of the California Trail. On March 8, 1849, the Missouri General Assembly granted a home-rule charter to the town and on July 18, 1849, William McCoy was elected as its first mayor. In the mid-19th century an Act of the United States Congress defined Independence as the start of the Oregon Trail.
Independence saw two important battles during the Civil War: the first on August 11, 1862 when Confederate soldiers took control of the town, and the second in October 1864, which also resulted in a Southern victory. The war took its toll on Independence and the town was never able to regain its previous prosperity, although a flurry of building activity took place soon after the war. The rise of nearby Kansas City also contributed to the town's relegation to a place of secondary prominence in Jackson County, though Independence has retained its position as county seat to the present day.
United States President Harry S. Truman grew up in Independence, and in 1922 was elected judge of the county Court of Jackson County, Missouri (an administrative, not judicial, post). Although he was defeated for reelection in 1924, he won back the office in 1926 and was reelected in 1930. Truman performed his duties diligently, and won personal acclaim for several popular public works projects, including an extensive series of fine roads for the growing use of automobiles, the building of a new County Court building in Independence, and a series of 12 Madonna of the Trail monuments to pioneer women dedicated across the country in 1928 and 1929. He would later return to the city after two terms as President. His wife, First Lady Bess Truman, was born and raised in Independence, and both are buried there. The Harry S. Truman National Historic Site (Truman's home) and the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum are both located in Independence, as is one of Truman's boyhood residences.
Independence continues to be of great importance to the Latter Day Saint movement and is the headquarters of the Community of Christ, the second-largest denomination in the Latter Day Saint movement. This church has built a temple in Independence, and also maintains a large auditorium and other buildings nearby. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints operates a sizable visitors' center adjacent to the Community of Christ Temple, which is located directly across the street from the original Temple Lot designated by Joseph Smith in 1830. The Lot itself is occupied by a small white-frame church building that serves as the headquarters and local meeting house for the Church of Christ (Temple Lot).
