As predicted in a recent article at ResveratrolNews.com, rich oligarchs are getting blood from the young transfused into their bodies in an effort to turn the clock back on aging says a report in The Daily Mail. The young blood transfusions emanate from experiments done with lab animals where an old and a young animal’s blood vessels are conjoined in a process called parabiosis. The old mouse then becomes young again. An infusion of a unit of blood from a 16-25 years old costs ~$8000 and candidates must be over 35 years of age. Obviously, only the very rich will be able to undergo these transfusions. For those who want to mimic the effect of young blood, the protein in the blood responsible for the age reversal effect has been identified as osteopontin, a protein that controls mineralization in the body. Osteopontin makes “old blood young again.” The red wine molecule resveratrol raises osteopontin levels. Read the story at ResveratrolNews.com

Notice the word “hope.” Don’t be starting to expect you will live beyond what life insurance actuaries have planned or you will gum up their projected profitability schemes.
Before readers even get past the first paragraph of this report, I can hear many saying in the back of their minds, “Oh, I never want to live that long.”
That is because modern medicine has instilled into everyone’s mind an indellible image of wrinkled, feeble, drooling, mindless, incontinent, wheelchair-bound seniors as what they have to look forward to if they live exceptionally long. If that is the negative image you have of old age, watch for my next report that takes you to a geographical place where humans simply defy the biological clock hands of time, don’t need doctoring and don’t even look their age.

ResveratrolNews.com interviews the Resveratrol Oracle to interpret recent news reports concerning medical breakthroughs published on August 29, 2017.
Background: Today August 29, 2017 was a special day in medical news because four different reports heralded seemingly breakthrough treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, cancer and heart attacks. ResveratrolNews.com went to the Oracle at the Temple at Delphi the ancient Greeks consulted for answers to important questions of their day, to provide us with interpretation of these modern events.
As background information, the oracle was actually a person who prophesied from a specific location. The oracle itself was a sunken space below the level of the Delphi Temple floor where the prophetess sat. The visionary was seated on a tripod over a fissure in the ground from which gases escaped from below. Her voice would change as she spoke, much like someone breathing in helium and then speaking.

FDA Approves Pro-Oxidant Dose Of Resveratrol Encapsulated To Reduce Gastrointestinal Side Effects To Treat Orphan Disease (Friedreich’s Ataxia)
Capitalizing on relaxed requirements to gain FDA approval for orphan diseases (defined as a condition that affects fewer than 200,000 people nationwide), a Jupiter Florida drug company has been awarded FDA clearance to market a specially encapsulated form of resveratrol to treat a debilitating disease known as Friedreich’s ataxia. Ataxia is a disease where full loss of control of body movements occurs.
The resveratrol drug (JOT101) utilizes special encapsulation technology and excipients to allay gastrointestinal side effects produced by the pro-oxidant (5000 milligram) dose of resveratrol. Improvements in measures of speech and hearing were noted in humans subjects given 5000 mg but not 1000 mg dose of resveratrol.

As reported in the European Journal of Cancer Prevention, a genetically bred group of rodents that had melanoma cancer cells injected under their skin given a low-calorie or moderate-calorie diet and/or a cocktail of phytonutrients (20 milligrams total of resveratrol, quercetin, catechin, curcumin added to chow) extended survival of these animals. But the low and moderate calorie diets or multiple phytonutrients alone did not extend survival significantly. The multiple phytonutrient combination was utilized to produce a synergistic (epigenetic) anti-cancer effect. The composition of the diets is provided below.*

For decades now researchers have been saying what they are learning from young children with a gene mutation that results in premature aging and a shortened life span could have application for the rest of humanity. Don’t believe it.
News headlines declare a breakthrough in progeria, the name given to this premature aging syndrome. Researchers claim by maintaining the length of end caps of chromosomes called telomeres they can push back against this genetic disorder.
The prevalence of progeria is 1 in 4-8 million births. Progeroid children are prematurely old. There are only 145 of them in the world (~16 in the USA). They develop cataracts, wrinkled skin, become bald and die of a heart attack or stroke in their early teens. Progeria emanates from a mutation in the Lamin-A gene.

Since inflammation is a component of virtually all diseases the molecular mechanisms leading to the anti-inflammatory effects of resveratrol deserve more attention, say researchers.
Among the myriad biological actions of resveratrol, a chief property is its anti-inflammatory action. [Journal Medicinal Food April 2017] While many of the mechanisms behind its anti-inflammatory action have been described, this does not mean that present explanations are totally inclusive. In fact, it appears resveratrol works independently of the Sirtuin1 survival gene, which is not involved in its anti-inflammatory action.

If 80-year old John McCain undergoes the same care Joseph “Beau” Biden and Ted Kennedy underwent for their brain tumors, he is a walking dead man.
This aggressive form of brain cancer (glioblastoma) has a dire prognosis. There is no cure and treatment is only directed at relieving pain and suffering. With optimal treatment GB patients have a median survival of less than 1 year (3-year survival is only 2%).

This report is going to introduce a new word to your vocabulary, neoteny. But before that, allow me a few paragraphs to properly introduce this intriguing subject.
In the modern world where growing old age is now becoming optional and anti-aging pills are on the cusp of becoming reality, the question arises: who wants to live longer just to grow old?
