It could be said that the “aging is optional” era began ~2003-2004 when geneticist David Sinclair of Harvard Medical School announced a connection between a life-doubling calorie restricted diet, the Sirtuin1 survival gene and the red wine molecule resveratrol (rez-vare-ah-trol).
Actually a decade earlier (1992) two researchers at Cornell University posited that resveratrol may be the active ingredient in wine that lowers circulating levels of cholesterol.

Biologists are re-thinking the origins of disease and aging. A compelling accumulation of data points to protein congestion inside a small organelle called the endoplasmic reticulum in living cells that accelerates aging and disease.
So let’s take a trip to the E.R. – the endoplasmic reticulum. The E.R. produces proteins and facilitates their passage through a tortuous pathway of tubules. In so doing, proteins must be properly folded to maintain health. Only properly folded proteins are allowed to exit the E.R. Otherwise they are degraded and expelled into the watery cytoplasm of the cell. Medical researchers now believe mis-folded proteins (also known as prions) in the E. R. are at the root of many diseases, particularly diseases of aging.

Nov. 7, 2017: The hope of a fountain of youth has been dashed forever. It was just days ago (October 30th) that researchers at the University of Arizona who study human aging said that it is mathematically impossible to halt or reverse the biological clock hands of time. Gone is the prospect of living young instead of growing old. The idea of an anti-aging pill is a pipe dream – like trying to catch the wind. It is biologically unattainable.
“There is logically, theoretically, mathematically no way out,” said a professor of evolutionary biology. Aging is inevitable.

Low thyroid hormone levels can result in mental confusion. Which only adds to the bewildering state of affairs when it comes to recognizing and rectifying low or high thyroid hormone levels.
While thyroid hormone dysfunction affects 1% of the general population it affects 10% of senior adults (10% females; 6% males).
Many millions of Americans rely on thyroid hormone replacement. But about as many (13 million estimated) may have low thyroid levels and don’t know it.

Eye researchers are calling for daily oral resveratrol capsules to be employed along with medicines injected into the eyes to shut off leaky blood vessels in the back of the eyes.
Worldwide over $5 billion of anti-growth factor medicine is needle injected into the back of the eyes of patients with a severe form of macular degeneration.
For background information, the macula is the visual center of the eye (retina) and when light receptor cells there become oxygen starved, new blood vessels outcrop to counter the problem but leak fluid that can result in legal blindness. This is called wet macular degeneration.

Oct. 9, 2017- Superlatives abound. The discovery announced today of the 3D makeup of a molecule called PINK1 that regenerates cell energy compartments called mitochondria is now reported in the science journal elife. Scientists are gushing all over themselves about the importance of this breakthrough that could lead to a cure for Parkinson’s disease.

No, the substance of this report doesn’t emanate from Harvard Medical School and is being ignored and will predictably be dismissed by uninformed physicians whose livelihood is threatened by such a discovery.
Denial and ridicule is the first phase of any scientific discovery, followed strong opposition and finally self-evident acceptance. This discovery hasn’t even reached the first stage as it goes ignored.
The acronym for the National Institutes of Health — NIH – more accurately means: “not invented here.” The covert mission of the NIH is to block any remedy outside of synthetic molecules from gaining FDA approval.

There is such a thing as a mental depression diet. It’s called the American diet. In response, physicians hand out anti-depressant pills making patients dependent on these pills for the remainder of their lives when their calorie-rich/nutrient poor diet is causing their problems. Where does depression/anxiety emanate from? Not the brain but the intestines, what is now called the gut-brain axis. In a misdirection, mood-altering drugs directly target neurotransmitters in the brain.
Altered gut bacteria early in life, particularly from over-use of antibiotics that literally sterilize the gut, and modern sugar-laden carbohydrate-rich diets by virtue of their generation of low-grade chronic inflammation, increase the risk for a depressed mood and eventually losing one’s mind later in life.

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Why am I looking older
When I don’t have to at all.
Aging is scientifically optional. If you missed that news headline that went round the world in the year 2000 you needlessly aged 17 years biologically. That scientific breakthrough was only marginally put into practice by modern medicine and never fully adopted by the public.

The pressure is mounting. Professional football has set aside $1 billion to handle claims by retired NFL football players. The legal profession is going to get up to 40% of that money. It will cover brain injuries incurred by 20,000 ex-NFL players. But that doesn’t fix the ongoing problem of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and concussions and the problem is not just confined to professional football or football alone.
Concussion Watch reports 199 concussions in the NFL in 2015, the most recent year data is reported. But how many more concussions were there in college and high school football? And it’s not just football, it’s also ice hockey, wrestling, basketball and other sports.
