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. […]

Science is like Molasses… it flows slowly. Ever since the 2010 human study on TA-65 was published I have been telling you about the “other half” of the data. I had access to it so I shared it with you but naturally the naysayers and skeptics said, “I’ll believe it when I see it!” So

Even though I recently released a blog that looks specifically at prostate cancer and the effect of telomere length on prognosis, I mentioned breast cancer in that blog as another form of hormonally driven cancer that shares many features behaviorally with prostate cancer. The ink on that blog had barely dried when yet another study
Unhealthy Telomeres greatly increase the Risk of Cancer Read More »
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 have written several emails/blogs etc in the past dealing with health, disease and now aging. Since there were 5 prior writings dating back to 2004 and culminating with the most recent “Is aging unstoppable”. I decided to name this one appropriately “Part 6”. This is also a reminder to you that have been doing

Five months ago I launched a contest and I asked you for help. I told you I needed money to finance the kinds of studies that needed to be done in human rejuvenation. I told you that the amount of work and the amount invested in people, real live people was tiny and it was

I swear the copywriters have gotten a hold of the scientists. I say this because for the past 20 years I have been following scientific literature and I have never seen such a proliferation of pithy titles and witty tag lines to describe brute force dry science ever as I have recently. Not Ever! The
