Recently the finger has been pointed at the “media” for dividing the nation. One politician made the title statement: I trust the internet more than I trust TV! Frankly I think that is ludicrous! The internet is just as biased and has engaged in hiding facts, boosting some headlines and just plain censorship in spite …
In part one of this email sent out last week I told you about telomeres. In this email I want to call your attention to some other age-related topics. First and foremost I want to reiterate something I have been saying and writing for years. The immune system is the key to aging. Just this …
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, …
Before we get too deep into the science Let me remind you some people have different definitions for “life extension” If we use the current life span as a scale, we are living somewhere between 78 and 82 years. Technically anything beyond that could be considered life extension. For the past several generations, this seems …

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 …

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. …
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 …
