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 am not going to rehash all of the things I have said about telomerase activation and cancer in the past because there is too much new stuff to tell you about. But I will remind you that cancer has a nasty and unique ability to amplify telomerase expression in just about every way you

Ok you’ve seen me beat up on the QPCR as a tool for accurate assessment of telomere length in the recent Ornish study. To my mind that was the absolute worst use of that technology and it invalidates much of what the authors concluded primarily because the study was so small and did not correlate

You may have already heard about the follow up to the original Dean Ornish/Liz Blackburn study done 5 years ago. If you missed the boat this Southern California duo of famous people did a small study using a dietary modification to measure telomerase activation in peripheral white blood cells- the ones we usually look at

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

A recent study out of Italy links statin drugs to increased telomerase activity and slower shortening of telomeres. If you read my blogs you know this is not the first time such an association has been found. Back in March of this year I reviewed another article predicting we would see more of this. And

Awhile back I sustained an injury that made me feel like I was 90. In spite of all the training supplements and coaching I have done and given I succumbed to a moment of weakness and “went for it” when I knew I should not have. The result was a several torn muscles in the

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

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
