Boy did I just get an ear full!

Tami is a long time customer- like in since 2003!

Apparently, she was out of the country until this Monday and completely missed the Immortality Edge Pack intro.

And she was not the only one, she was just the most vociferous.

And she was equally pissed at missing the Life Length Telomere Test Deal (see below).

“ I have been waiting for the price to come down to do this and now you yank it back!” she said only half joking.

Now you can’t put a price on loyalty, and you can’t beat a super accurate, repeatable telomere assay that tells you your true Biologic Age!

But honestly THIS IS IT!  I can’t put off the inevitable so this is the LAST DAY to get both the new Packs and the Life Length Telomere Test (also known as TAT).

Then we got to go to retail pricing on both!

Now, in case you forgot, I arranged for a special deal for you on Telomere Testing with my friends in Madrid at Life Length.

Lot’s of people have asked me about measuring their telomeres before they start therapies. I have always thought that is a fantastic idea. And now that I have a new “telomere centric” product I encourage you to take the Life Length test because its at the best possible price I could arrange for you and you really SHOULD KNOW where you stand.

Normally this test would cost you a minimum of $600 depending on where you get it done. In Southern California its often closer to $1000! These fees include the test and the doctors interpretation.

But since I have probably done more interpretations than any other single physician out there I thought, “Why not donate my time, encourage YOU to get the test and have a great chance to talk one on one with you when the results are ready!!!”  So if you buy the product you get a special code to save big on the test.  The price has been reduced to $320* which is almost 50% less than what you would pay ANYWHERE in the U.S.

AND you get an hour of my time free to go over the test one on one with me.  A little secret: I don’t set a timer so sometimes we go longer and talk about all kinds of things after we are done with the telomeres!

It’s actually one of the most fun things a I do and everyone that does it with me universally says it was far more than they could have expected. And remember this is the one and only test that can predict your true cellular biologic age (functionally how old your cells are).

So, get the product and take the test!!!!**

Here is what you do:

Once you’ve ordered your Longevity Edge Packs at the special pricing you email mailto: [email protected]    Put USDRDV in the subject line, that is your special savings code.

A very nice smart young man named Michael will get back to you via email and other if needed and make sure you get this special savings for my customers only!

And take advantage of everything I have learned in the past 8 years and give your body the upgrade it deserves!!!

Limited Time Only!!!

The one and only Dr. Dave who by the way is really really really looking forward to discussing your telomere results with you.

PS You may want to check out the FAQ’s page and ingredients which will tell you the main differences between this and the old product but one big thing is the packet is much simpler to take- its 3 caps and can be taken as little as once a day!

PSS as you can probably tell this announcement is for my best loyal long-time customers because only YOU know the importance of telomeres to health and longevity.  Newbies will have to read all the stuff I have written for the past 8 years. You already know it!

*This is a blood test. You will need to have your blood drawn.  You can arrange for a phlebotomist yourself or through your local doctor’s office if you like. Or Life Length can make those arrangements for you with a mobile phlebotomy service for an additional $50.  To get your test you will pay them not me- my time to you is free. I can email your results to your physician if you like and provide me with an email address. The kit comes with everything you need to send your blood including the correct tubes and pre paid airbill.  You just need to have someone draw it for you. Allow 3-4 weeks to get the results back.

** Telomeres do not change rapidly so its OK for you to get the pack and start the supplements.  If you get your test done within the first 2 months it would still be considered “baseline” as if you had not taken anything.

PSS if you want to see how simple the test is to do you can see me do it here.

Just remember I am no longer Dr Dave’s Best,  I am www.TheLongevityEdge.com only  Don’t get confused by the old logo!

Just a reminder my new telomere specific supplement is here and in stock now.  Its also at the best price possible for the next 24 hours so take advantage and don’t miss out.

It’s newer better and totally redesigned to reflect all the knowledge I have gained since publishing the “Immortality Edge” book in 2010 and the original Telomere Edge packs which I no longer make, 2012.

Everything has been changed and upgraded and its now 1 pack a day instead of 2.

Order your Immortality Edge packs now!

 

The real Dr Dave!

PS If you missed the launch email which also details a hugely discounted telomere test with Life Length, go here!

First, I need to ask you to indulge me and read this whole email including the PS and the asterisks below the PS because there are 2 BIG THINGS that I don’t want you to miss!

First: Out with the Old and in with New!

That saying applies to supplements from time to time as well.

It has been over 6 years since I created a new Telomere Specific Supplement but the day has finally arrived!

The Immortality Edge Packs are now in stock and believe me it’s none too soon.

I worked diligently on the formulation for a long, long time and it is totally revamped and redone and shares very little in common with the old formula which I designed back in 2012.  Hey, it was a good product, but things have changed, science has advanced and it was time for an update and a makeover!

The Immortality Edge Packs are available in single canister pricing but notice as usual you can Save Big on Subscription/Continuity, and even more by grabbing an entire case!

We expect to sell out quickly so find out more here and then hit the “buy” button because you don’t want to be left out and placed on back order.

The introductory sale is only available until Friday close of business and then we go to retail only. Keeping in the style of my product launches, today is the absolute best pricing EVER on these!

The old Telomere Edge Packs were super popular and often sold out. But it’s time to upgrade and get rid of the old and in with the new.

Next, I arranged for a special deal for you on Telomere Testing with my friends in Madrid at Life Length to go hand-in-hand with my new Telomere Specific Supplement launch.

Lot’s of people have asked me about measuring their telomeres before they start therapies. I have always thought that is a fantastic idea. And now that I have a new “telomere centric” product I encourage you to take the Life Length test because it’s at the best possible price I could arrange for you and you really SHOULD KNOW where you stand.

Yes it’s true I have written 8 different articles about cancer and telomerase since 2009 and I suppose I should prepare to write 8 more.

The most recent stir up in the field came from an internet news blitz entitled “Long Telomeres May Increase Cancer Risk” detailing the findings of an erudite Southern California lab based at the same University as Telomere Nobel Laureate Elizabeth Blackburn.

This group has major scientific star power and lots of science cred to back up what they say.

Naturally the “see we told you so” crowd picked up on this immediately and interpreted it as Telomerase causes cancer. The more they dislike me and what I do or the more I pissed them off in the past for not buying into what they are doing the more vociferous the email nasty grams.

One person even suggested “Your telomerase activators are giving people cancer and your book is full of deadly information!”

So after a week or so of this I did what it seems I have to do more and more often these days. Break my vow of silence and answer the questions directly all the while trying to remain nice, calm and objective.

So here is the background.

In this particular study the scientists were looking at a rare and deadly tumor known as glioma (there are several different forms of this brain cancer and none are good!).

They found an association with long telomeres and glioma and used a technique known as Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) to establish a link to mutations “in the area of the telomerase gene” that “might “ account for the increases in Glioma they saw.

Using my least favorite way of determining telomere length QPCR they found said association in 3 different areas “related” to the telomerase gene.

More background: the telomerase gene and other “longevity genes” such as APO and glucose/insulin genes are located in areas that are hypermutatable for lack of a better term.  This means that more mutations than expected are found in these areas than many other areas of the genome.

The reason for this is unknown but please understand it is a well documented and rather widespread phenomenon that is not limited to the telomerase gene.

These mutations are called SNPs or single nucleotide polymorphisms because the result in one change in one molecule of DNA.

Please understand that SNPs are a favorite of scientists studying cancer and other diseases because if they can reproduce them in animal models then they can study the cancer that way. At the same time it is likely that most human cancers do not occur as SNPs but rather as epigenetically driven changes.

Even the most famous BRAC SNPs associated with breast cancer are estimated to account for 5% or less of human cancers. Put another way 95% of breast cancer is not due to these SNPs.

Also understand that SNPs are often inherited meaning the changes they cause in the genome are present from the time of conception until death. In terms of the SNPs that are associated with glioma they occur in the general population  between 50 and 70% of the time and are present in over half of the control group which is 4x larger than the cancer group. That control group did not get cancer.

Glioma is also associated with older age at the time of onset.  The older you are the more likely you are to get glioma. The control group that has no cancer and longer telomeres is likely to live considerably longer than an equal group with short telomeres.

Gliomas are also well known to use the ALT non telomerase method to lengthen their telomeres rather than increasing telomerase.

So here is my list of questions for the authors:

Why did you use QPCR the least accurate method of measuring MTL which misrepresents telomere dynamics and introduces a large potential for inaccuracy? My guess is once we get past all the other political stuff would be “Because that is what lots of other people are using!”

Next when does a SNP become considered normal?  If it’s present in over half of the population at large then how do we know it’s a mutation.

Finally did they factor in age at diagnosis as an independent risk factor since gliomas go up with age.

Now the truth is they did not need to look at all this stuff because they were not saying Telomerase Causes Cancer or Long Telomeres Cause Cancer ( again JAMA Dec 2010 showed exactly the opposite: short telomeres are associated with cancer!). They were saying mutations in the area of the telomerase gene are ASSOCIATED with one rare Cancer.

Big difference.

Especially when you consider that genetic mutations are forever and for life in many cases and cause elevations of gene products as well as dysfunctions of gene products that are not associated with short term telomerase activators.

In addition there is no data to suggest that using supplements like fish oil which appears to preserve telomere length, or TA-65 which may lengthen telomeres has ANY association with cancer of ANY kind in.

I applaud the scientific discoveries made by scientists and of course the use of GWAS is interesting in looking at SNPs. But I remind you the word associated does not mean cause. You could potentially find that eating pizza is associated with a higher death rate in motor vehicle accidents.

And we went through this last summer when a study cited a 2% change in Omega 3 levels as associated with a 73% increase in prostate cancer.

For most of us SNPs are the least of our worries. Shortening telomeres on the other hand is a 100% given. Read some of the other myths about telomeres and telomere supplementation here.
