The world has been dealing with this Corona virus since late December 2020, and China before that. Data on the severity of outcomes has been gathered from around the world, showing that severity is highly dependent on Vitamin D status. We in the US typically use the...
Great Promise for Stem Cell Vesicles in Life Extension
Over a decade ago, stem cells were promised to repair virtually everything in our bodies, but over time researchers noticed that very few stem cells actually survive transplanting over the long term, and began looking at what stem cells (SCs) were doing to cause the...
Update on Knowledge of the Corona Virus
Strategies for Surviving Covid-19 I take six newsletters on health from Integrative Physicians – doctors who specialize in treating root causes of diseases, not just the treatment of symptoms with drugs, but focus on overall health and prevention of disease. Three of...
Plasma Dilution Removes Pro-Aging Blood Factors – Results in Rejuvenation
For may years, a process of joining the circulatory systems of young and old mice together in a procedure called Parabiosis, could make the young mouse appear to age and the old mouse get younger. The dilemma - is it "young blood" factors that rejuvenate the old mouse...
My daughter, who publishes Gardenerd.com resides in Santa Monica CA, and recently with helicopters overhead signalling the unrest of massive protests against the indefensible injustice that caused the death of George Floyd, she felt strongly complicit of...
Resistance Training Doubles NAD+ in Muscles of Middle-Aged, Overweight Subjects – Ten Week Study
Readers know that I promote Weight (or Resistance) Training as the most Anti-aging form of exercise known. Now comes a ten week study that shows a more than doubling of NAD+ in muscle tissue in middle-aged men and women, bringing them to levels equivalent to...
