North Carolina Hormone Replacement Therapy Services

Human Growth Hormone Injections in North Carolina

Did you know that Hormone Imbalance is one of the strongest pressures which contribute to premature aging? As we grow older, HGH Levels start to decline, and we start to age more quickly as a direct result. Many men and women over the age of 30 suffer from Age-Related Growth Hormone Deficiency, a condition which exacerbates the aging process, severely damaging both health and well-being

The Conscious Evolution Institute offers Physician-Monitored HGH Injections for the treatment of Growth Hormone Decline. We can get you the help you need to restore your hormone balance and boost your health. We can help you buy the HGH you need and even ship it to your doorstep.

Sermorelin Acetate Therapy Services in North Carolina

We also offer Sermorelin Treatments as an alternative to HGH Shots. Both are highly effective at restoring natural and youthful hormone balance, but Sermorelin does so by helping your body make more HGH on its own, rather than supplementing the body's diminishing supply.

Many people prefer Sermorelin Acetate because it's cheaper than Human Growth Hormone Replacement Therapy, but others feel that the results of HGH Injections are more noticeable. One of our clinical physicians will help you make the best decision for your health and your wallet.

North Carolina Low-T Treatments

Along with HGH Restoration, we also provide Testosterone Replacement Therapy for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction and Testosterone Deficiency. Many men turn to pills as a means to restore their sexual potency, but these pills may simply be masking underlying problems that are eating away at your health.

Testosterone is a vitally important hormone for male health, and ED Pills do nothing to restore hormone balance, they simply alter your blood flow to foster easier sexual activity. Men with Testosterone Deficiency are more prone to Age-Related Disorders such as diabetes and obesity, and they are at significantly increased risk of other metabolism disorders, as well as cardiovascular disease, heart attack and stroke.

Women can also benefit from Testosterone Replacement as a means to mitigate the effects of menopause, strengthen the bones, and restore sex drive.

The HCG Diet for North Carolina Residents

Are you overweight? Do you have chronic health issues that are exacerbated by obesity? The Conscious Evolution Institute can help you solve your weight problems with our highly effective HCG Diet. HCG is short for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, and this natural biological hormone has been shown to be an effective weight loss aid.

HCG Injections, when combined with a restricted diet, encourage the body to burn pesky reserves of adipose fat, while also helping sustain energy levels, preventing the fatigue normally associated with accelerated weight loss. HCG has the special ability to mask feelings of hunger, helping you avoid the temptation of unhealthy foods, helping you lose weight quickly as well as responsibly.

All About Winston Salem, North Carolina Geographic Area

Winston-Salem is a city in the U.S. state of North Carolina, with a 2010 population of 229,617. Winston-Salem is the county seat and largest city of Forsyth County and the fourth-largest city in the state (though a 2011 estimate of Census Bureau estimate of 232,385 makes Winston-Salem fifth largest).

Winston-Salem is the second largest municipality in the Piedmont Triad region and is home to the tallest office building in the region, 100 North Main Street, formerly the Wachovia Building and now known locally as the Wells Fargo Center. Winston-Salem is called the "Twin City" for its dual heritage and "City of the Arts and Innovation" for its dedication to fine arts and theater and technological research. "Camel City" is a reference to the city's historic involvement in the tobacco industry related to locally-based R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company's popular Camel cigarettes. Many locals use "Winston" in informal speech.

In 2003, the previous Greensboro - Winston-Salem - High Point metropolitan statistical area (MSA) was re-defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, resulting in the formation of the Greensboro-High Point MSA and the Winston-Salem MSA. The official 2010 Census population for the Winston-Salem, North Carolina MSA was 477,717. The Greensboro - Winston-Salem - High Point combined statistical area (CSA), popularly referred to as the Piedmont Triad, had a population of 1,589,200 in 2010.

The Old Salem district (1766) and related Historic Bethabara (1753) and Bethania (1759) sites are the city's oldest historical attractions. Also of historical interest is Reynolda Village (which includes Reynolda Gardens and the Reynolda House Museum of American Art). Other sites of interest include the Horne Creek Historic Farm, Tanglewood Park, the SciWorks educational facility, and SECCA, the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art. The city's major sports and entertainment venues are organized in a group known as the Winston-Salem Entertainment-Sports Complex.

The Winston-Salem metropolitan area (MSA) has an estimated population of 468,124 according to the 2008 estimate by the U.S. Census Bureau. As of 2008, the combined statistical area (CSA) of Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point, the Piedmont Triad, has a population of 1,603,101, making it the 30th-largest metropolitan area in the USA.

The origin of the town of Salem dates to January 1753, when Bishop August Gottlieb Spangenberg, on behalf of the Moravian Church, selected a settlement site in the three forks of Muddy Creek. He called this area "die Wachau" (Latin form: Wachovia) named after the ancestral estate of Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf. The land, just short of 99,000 acres (400 km2), was subsequently purchased from John Carteret, 2nd Earl Granville.

On November 17, 1753, the first settlers arrived at what would later become the town of Bethabara. This town, despite its rapid growth, was not designed to be the primary settlement on the tract. Some residents expanded to a nearby settlement called Bethania in 1759. Finally, lots were drawn to select among suitable sites for the location of a new town.

The town established on the chosen site was given the name of Salem (from the Hebrew word Shalom for "peace") chosen for it by the Moravians' late patron, Count Zinzendorf. On 6 January 1766, the first tree was felled for the building of Salem. Salem was a typical Moravian settlement congregation with the public buildings of the congregation grouped around a central square, today Salem Square. These included the church, a Brethren's House and a Sisters' House for the unmarried members of the Congregation, which owned all the property in town. For many years only members of the Moravian Church were permitted to live in the settlement. This practice had ended by the American Civil War. Many of the original buildings in the settlement have been restored or rebuilt and are now part of Old Salem Museums & Gardens. Salem was incorporated as a town in 1854. Salem Square and "God's Acre", the Moravian Graveyard, since 1772 are the site each Easter morning of the world-famous Moravian sunrise service. This service, sponsored by all the Moravian church parishes in the City, attracts thousands of worshippers each year and has earned the name of "the Easter City" for Winston-Salem.

In 1849, the Salem congregation sold land north of Salem to the newly formed Forsyth County for a county seat. The new town was called "the county town" or Salem until 1852 when it was named Winston for a local hero of the Revolutionary War, Joseph Winston. For its first two decades, Winston was a sleepy county town. In 1872, work began to connect the town to the North Carolina Railroad. That same year, Thomas Jethro Brown of Davie County rented a former livery stable and established the first tobacco warehouse in Winston. That same year, Pleasant Henderson Hanes, also of Davie, built his first tobacco factory a few feet from Brown's warehouse. In 1875, Richard Joshua Reynolds, of Patrick County, Virginia, built his first tobacco factory a few hundred feet from Hanes' factory. By the 1880s, there were almost 40 tobacco factories in the town of Winston. Hanes and Reynolds would compete fiercely for the next 25 years, each absorbing a number of the smaller manufacturers, until Hanes sold out to Reynolds in 1900 to begin a second career in textiles.

In the 1880s, the US Post Office began referring to the two towns as Winston-Salem. In 1899, after nearly a decade of contention, the United States Post Office Department established the Winston-Salem post office in Winston, with the former Salem office serving as a branch. After a referendum the towns were officially incorporated as "Winston-Salem" in 1913. The USPS Address Information System (AIS) does not recognize the hyphen.

The Reynolds family, namesake of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, played a large role in the history and public life of Winston-Salem. By the 1940s, 60% of Winston-Salem workers worked either for Reynolds or in the Hanes textile factories. The Reynolds company imported so much French cigarette paper and Turkish tobacco for Camel cigarettes that Winston-Salem was designated by the United States federal government as an official port of entry for the United States, despite the city being 200 miles (320 km) inland. Winston-Salem was the eighth-largest port of entry in the United States by 1916.

In 1917, the company bought 84 acres (340,000 m2) of property in Winston-Salem and built 180 houses that it sold at cost to workers, to form a development called "Reynoldstown." By the time R.J. Reynolds died in 1918, his company owned 121 buildings in Winston-Salem.

In 1929, the Reynolds Building was completed in Winston-Salem. Designed by William F. Lamb from the architectural firm Shreve, Lamb and Harmon, the Reynolds Building is a 314 ft (96m) skyscraper that has 21 floors. When completed as the headquarters of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, it was the tallest building in the United States south of Baltimore, Maryland, and it was named the best building of the year by the American Institute of Architects. The building is well known for being the predecessor and prototype for the much larger Empire State Building that was built in 1931 in New York City. Every year the staff of the Empire State Building sends a Father's Day card to the staff at the Reynolds Building in Winston-Salem to pay homage to its role as predecessor to the Empire State Building.
