Today’s email could also be called; “You Need It All The Time” I’m not sure many people know the cycle of my expertise. I’ve said many times, I only know about a few things but in those few things I am an expert of world class caliber. Those “things” would include: Aging, Telomeres, Stem Cells, …
Ok today I am going to get into more detail and real experiences for you. I feel compelled to tell you that many other people including some famous and not so famous doctors have endorsed the Ketogenic Diet in its various forms. The Calorie Restricted Ketogenic Diet is very specific in its application. It is …
The repeating sequence of the Telomere-TTAGGG has proven to be a gold mine for determining biologic age ( how old your body is acting!) and disease prognosis ( how bad you are likely to get something) as well as the effects of stress. A recent study on the effects of racism on the telomere length …
TTAGGG You’re It! Stress, Disease and Telomere Length Read More »
Drum roll and trumpets please! A new cancer causing pathway has been found. It involves telomeres of course. I bring it to your attention though, not for what it has shown us, but for how it its marketed. You see even scientists know they stand a better chance of getting recognition if they blow the …
First let me wish the Happiest of New Years and a phenomenal 2014. I can tell you that if 2013 is any indication, 2014 will be spectacular. And speaking of 2013 I want to give you a brief perspective on this passing year from Dr Dave’s point of view both in terms of accomplishments and …
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) …
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 …
