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 […]

Back in the year 2000 when I started to practice anti-aging medicine, hormone replacement was a major part of our therapy. At the time it was the one thing that other doctors did not really do much of especially for men. As a matter of fact it was downright quackery in the eyes of some

Memory is a fragile thing. I am sure you have had days where you can’t seem to find a name, a set of keys or even get a bit confused on what should be a familiar ride or hike, especially if the season has changed. Then there is the specter of Alzheimer Disease which is

If you have read one iota of my writing over the past few years then you know I am a “telomere guy”. I think that telomeres also known as the biologic time clocks because of their effects on cellular aging and ultimately on how YOU age are the biggest thing we have found in the

Gee I was so happy to find out that the London Daily Mail published an article explaining the key to avoiding premature aging and stress related aging. I was even more ecstatic to find out it involved my favorite topic – telomeres. You know, those small end caps on your chromosomes that determine how long and

First I may as well tell you this email is going to make me a few enemies. No matter! I calls ‘em as I sees ‘em! So what does it feel like to age in reverse- to grow younger even though you are “getting older”. And maybe the more important question- how do you know
What if you could grow younger as you get older? Read More »
The telomere bandwagon is growing albeit slower than I would have thought. [eafl id=”2390″ name=”TA-65″ text=”TA-65″], the only proven telomerase activator with several human studies, now has several “competitors”. I put that in quotes because while there are now at least a half a dozen products directed at telomere health, none of them but TA-65 has
The strangest things come up in science. Every week there is a “new pathway” or a new “possibility of a drug that will help in the fight against cancer”. Sometimes it’s new dietary advice or a reiteration of some previous advice. But what do we really know and what can we actually hang our hats

Telomeres, found at the end of our chromosomes, are also known as the “biologic time clocks” that determine the ultimate possible life and health span of everything from a single cell to the entire organism that we call you or me. Liz Blackburn, the Grand Dame of Telomeres and the 2009 Nobel Laureate, is often
