Telomeres are the end segments of every chromosome that function as a biologic time clock. Their overall length and health determines how long your cells will live. Over the past few years it has become more and more common to measure telomere length in blood cells, specifically white blood cells that represent your immune system. […]

Telomeres are our cellular biologic time clocks. They are found at the end of every healthy chromosome. It they are short that chromosome and the cell it lives in are headed for disaster. By disaster I mean, 1) Removal from the functional cell pool leaving you with fewer healthy cells to do their job. 2)
Telomeres and Cancer- More than just Length Read More »
In mid-July a ridiculous poorly designed poorly done study was published by a “reputable journal” from the National Cancer Institute. It associated “high Omega 3 intake” with a 70% increased risk of prostate cancer. It was published by one Dr T. Brasky and his research time and derived from a sub group analysis of another
Have you seen the recent articles that link childhood stress to shorter telomere length in adults? Actually this information is not new. Last year a study of Rumanian orphans came out showing the same thing: children in difficulty in early life lost telomere length and had shorter telomeres as adult. Remember this will statistically equate

Life is kinda funny at times. A few years back I was motoring along minding my own business on the internet doing the fish oil, telomere and anti-aging thing I’ve always done and no one seemed to care much. Now all of a sudden entering my 12th year I seem to be getting people’s attention

I can’t start this blog without at least calling your attention on more time to July’s “Fish oil Associated with Prostate Cancer” study. At the time I refuted that study on every level while everyone else was cowering in fear. I am about to do it again with another big highly touted study that “Has

I recently heard one of the most amusing criticisms of my work and our book “The Immortality Edge” A dear friend of mine who finally after 3 years of watching and waiting decided to bite the bullet and start TA-65 told me about this last week. He lives in South Florida an area that is
The Immortality Edge- wrong then but right now!? Read More »
OK it’s time to come clean. And now that I’ve died and become a disembodied spirit because of my long term consumption of high dose fish oil. I thought I may as well confess another lie to you. Ultra 85 is really not fish oil. Technically at least. You see “real fish oil” as it
All this time I’ve been lying to you! Read More »
I occasionally happen across expert blogs and columns by other doctors who are called on for their expertise. Recently one such physician surprisingly skipped the whole fish oil and prostate cancer nonsense and dug up another negative study” Fish oil No Good for Heart Disease” from way back in the Spring. Now in this guy’s

Arguments continue among the best and brightest scientists concerning the question: Is aging unstoppable. If you think about it that question has already been answered in a functional way. There are several mammalian cell lines that have been made “immortal” simply by turning on telomerase and expressing it at a higher level than normal. Most surprising is
