I want to believe; I really do! I want to believe that fish oil, specifically MY fish oil, is a telomerase activator! But there is this little thing called lying that I am not willing to do. So here is the truth: I sent my fish oil to Sierra Sciences for telomerase evaluation and it did not

In my most recent blog, The Monster is Not Born Immortal, I discussed in real time the results of Dr Maria Blasco’s most recent paper using both telomerase over expression and Calorie Restriction. As usual, I got a bevy of comments, many of which were nasty grams and did not get published for that reason,

Bottom line of this whole blog: Supplemental Telomerase Activation is Required for increases in Longevity whether you calorie restrict or not. There are probably three or four studies now that show one simple irrefutable fact: you must turn on and increase telomerase expression to improve longevity. Most of them have come from Maria Blasco’s lab in

No, it does not! That is the short answer. The rest of it requires me to get all sciency on you, so read on at your own risk! Recently, I read yet another brilliant rocket scientist, stating that telomerase is turned off in most of our cells to protect us from cancer. The implication is,

I got an interesting question from a reader who wanted to know why “resveratrol” was not mentioned in our book, The Immortality Edge. Given all the hype that resveratrol continues to get, it’s a fair question. But in that last sentence is the answer, “hype”. I can remember someone writing in and saying her doctor
Why not resveratrol? Read More »
I am getting a bit sick of all the BS that people are sending me, saying whatever product they represent (usually by an MLM ) is superior to TA-65. I allow dissenting opinions, because no one is ever right 100% of the time, including me. Over the past few months I have publicly retracted statements
