After reviewing about 8,000+ articles/books/research over several decades, and
recent discoveries (including Oriental medicine), regarding the popular telomere-shortening theory of ageing and
how we can benefit from some of these findings, combined with Gene Therapy,
Lifestyle, and more - Here are a FEW, HEAVILY shortened summaries.
Keep in mind the following:

Modern Science—A
"Full-Blown Enlightenment Malfunction/FRAUD"
The most popular–and feasible–theory of ageing in the fall of
2014 is the telomere shortening theory.
Telomeres are the protective end-cap segments of
chromosomes – similar to the plastic caps on the ends of shoelaces – that guard
against its deterioration, or fusion with other chromosomes. Successive rounds of DNA replication during
sequential cell division causes a shortening of the telomeres. As they become
increasingly shorter, their structural integrity weakens, and the cells age and
die more rapidly. In recent years, shorter telomeres have been associated with
a range of ageing-associated diseases including many types of cancer (including
head and neck, urinary bladder, renal, lung, esophageal, and colorectal);
stroke; vascular dementia; cardiovascular disease; diabetes; osteoporosis; and
obesity.
Studies investigating the effects of telomere
shortening have found:
·
Ultra-short telomeres are linked with
osteoarthritis. 2012 research shows cells from osteoarthritic knees have
abnormally shortened telomeres. Further, the percentage of cells with
ultra-short telomeres increases close to the damaged area of the joint.
·
Telomeres of peripheral blood cells are
significantly shorter in people with familial breast cancer than in the general
population, according to 2011 research.
·
A 2012 study linked
shortened telomeres to pancreatic cancer.
·
Japanese research published
in 2013 found forced elongation of telomeres promotes cancer-cell
differentiation, possibly reducing malignancy, which is strongly associated
with a loss of cell differentiation. (I STRONGLY prefer
oriental studies into enhancing Immune Systems)
·
Clearly, our genes, and our telomeres, are not
necessarily our fate.
Major Study -
comments by Dr.
Dean Ornish,
Univ. of CA, San Francisco clinical professor of medicine, founder and president of the Preventive Medicine Research
Institute. Ornish was also the lead
author of a small pilot study, published online on
Sept. 16 2013 in The Lancet Oncology, which showed that changes in diet, exercise, stress
management and social support may result in longer telomeres – the first controlled trial to show that any
intervention may lengthen telomeres over time. His
comment refers to these findings, which also “indicate that telomeres may
lengthen to the degree that people change how they live,” he adds. “Research
indicates that longer telomeres are associated with fewer illnesses and longer
life.”
Lifestyle
changes create longer telomeres
The study followed 35
men with localized, early-stage prostate cancer for 5 years to explore the
relationship between lifestyle changes and telomere length and activity. 10
patients embarked on the following lifestyle changes:
·
Consuming a diet high
in whole foods, fruits and vegetables, and plant-based proteins, but low in fat
and refined carbohydrates.
·
Performing moderate
aerobic exercise for 30 minutes a day, six days a week.
·
Managing stress for 1
hour each day with yoga-based stretches, meditation or breathing.
·
Increased social
support via weekly support group sessions incorporating moderate exercise,
stress
management, training and counseling.
The 2nd group of 25 participants was
not asked to make major lifestyle changes.
Comparing the
two groups, the researchers found:
- The group that made
changes experienced a significant increase in telomere length of approximately
10%
even though telomere length usually decreases
over time.
- Moreover, the more
the men changed their behavior by adhering to the recommended lifestyle
program,
the more dramatic their improvements in
telomere length. The telomeres in men in
control group who made no lifestyle changes were almost 3%
shorter.
The researchers believe the outcome is likely to
be relevant to the general population as they looked at telomeres in the
participants’ blood, not their prostate tissue.
Although telomeres shorten with each cell
division, dividing cells express a protein complex called telomerase, which synthesizes
and elongates telomeres in an almost compensatory action. This study actually
followed up to a similar, three-month pilot investigation in 2008 where the
same participants were asked to adhere to the same lifestyle program. After 3
months, participants demonstrated significantly increased telomerase activity.
Turmeric and telomeres
Research published in July 2014, suggests
Curcurmin, the yellow pigment
from the spice turmeric, could have the power to maintain and possibly even
improve telomere length, and so slow the ageing process. To test their hypothesis that curcumin
could increase telomerase expression and so help to preserve telomere length,
researchers investigated curcumin’s effects on telomerase expression in brain
cells exposed to beta-amyloid, the prime source of oxidative damage and
brain-cell death linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Its effects on cell survival
and cell growth were measured, along with intracellular oxidative stress and
telomerase expression. Results suggest the brain-protecting effects of curcumin
in Alzheimer’s may relate to its influence on telomerase expression. When
telomerase expression was inhibited the protective effects produced by curcumin
disappeared. A major issue with curcumin is absorption – and this may be
the reason two previous clinical trials failed to find any benefit for the
extract, despite considerable experimental evidence of its ability to protect
against brain-related damage. For the reason it’s essential to use a brand that
offers enhanced absorption, usually through the addition of piperine (black
pepper extract).
Product is THERACURMIN
by THERAVALUES
Corp. increases Curcumin absorption 27X.
Other important factors in telomere shortening
It
should be noted that some other factors are also associated with telomere
shortening, including:
- Poor blood sugar control - Smoking
- Chronic inflammation
Higher vitamin D levels are associated with
longer telomeres.
So if these issues exist, it’s essential to
deal with them in addition to adopting the lifestyle factors mentioned above –
and using curcumin/Theracurmin. Extensive
research into this spice suggests it has the power to counter many health
challenges.
Gene engineering, to some, is the most powerful existing tool for
life extension. Mutations in certain genes result in up to 10-fold increase in
nematode lifespan and in up to 2-fold increase in a mouse life expectancy. Gene therapy represents a
unique tool to transfer achievements of gene engineering into medicine. This approach has already been proven
successful for treatment of numerous diseases, in particular those of genetic
and multigenic nature. More than 2000 clinical trials have
been launched to date. Proposals exist to developing
a gene therapy that will
radically extend lifespan. Genes that promote longevity of
model animals will be used as therapeutic agents. Then manipulate not a single
gene, but several aging mechanisms simultaneously. A combination of different approaches may lead to an additive or
even a synergistic effect, resulting in a very long life expectancy.
For this purpose, an animal will be affected by a set of genes that contribute
to longevity. In addition, a gene therapy of all major age-related pathologies
will be developed to improve the functioning of individual organs and tissues
in old age. As a result, searchers will develop a comprehensive treatment that
will not only dramatically extend lifespan, but will also prevent the decrepitude of
the body.
Experiments will be conducted in old mice. with the safety assessment of the treatment.
Add Herbal Aloe Force: aloe vera is the most
impressive medicinal herb invented by nature, I don't make that statement
lightly. Of all the herbs studied for disease prevention -- aloe vera is the
most impressive herb of them all. (Garlic would be a close second,
Astralagus likely 3rd.) There is nothing on this planet that offers the amazing
variety of healing benefits granted by aloe vera. In a single plant, aloe vera
offers potent, natural medicine that:
• Halts the growth of
cancer tumors.
• Lowers high cholesterol.
• Repairs "sludge blood",reverses
"sticky blood".
• Boosts the oxygenation of your blood.
• Eases inflammation and soothes arthritis pain.
• Protects the body from oxidative stress.
• Prevents kidney stones, protects the body from oxalates in coffee and tea.
• Alkalizes the body, helping to balance overly acidic dietary habits.
• Cures ulcers, IBS, Crohn's disease and other digestive disorders.
• Reduces high blood pressure natural, by treating the cause, not just the
symptoms.
• Nourishes the body with minerals, vitamins, enzymes and glyconutrients.
• Accelerates healing from physical burns and radiation burns.
• Replaces dozens of first aid products, makes bandages and antibacterial
sprays obsolete.
• Halts colon cancer, heals the intestines and lubricates the digestive tract.
• Ends constipation.
• Stabilizes blood sugar and reduces triglycerides in diabetics.
• Prevents and treats candida infections.
• Protects the kidneys from disease.
• Functions as nature's own "sports drink" for electrolyte balance,
making common sports drinks obsolete.
• Boosts cardiovascular performance and physical endurance.
• Speeds recovery from injury or physical exertion.
• Hydrates the skin, accelerates skin repair.
Actually, there is nothing else that compares
to the medicinal potential of aloe vera. Sadly most people only know about the topical
applications of aloe vera gel. They think it's only good for sunburns.
In reality, aloe vera is useful for both external and internal use.

Add Astragalus
Membranaceus from China and Mongolia
where the Astragalus root has been used for several thousand years in a
variety of herbal mixtures to treat everything from diseases of the heart,
liver and kidneys, to viral infections, cancer and immune disorders.
Chinese Medicine considers astragalus herb to be one of the most important
herbal tonics and as such it is valued for its ability to strengthen the
primary energy of the body which we know as the immune system, as well as
the metabolic, respiratory and eliminative functions. This fact is
being increasingly substantiated by western research. Astragalus first
appeared in the west in the1800's, used by herbalists as a tonic and an
ingredient in many herbal remedies. But it wasn't until the 1970's when
research began to confirm it's abilities to stimulate the immune system and
fight viruses and bacteria, subdue inflammation and protect the liver that
it was brought it into popular use in the alternative medicine markets. There is evidence that this herb has far-reaching effects on
the over all functioning and balance of the body, normalizing body
functions and regenerating tissues.
Scientific study of cellular aging took an
exciting turn when it was discovered in animal and human trials that an astragaloside compound derived from Astragalus membraneceus, a root used widely in traditional Chinese medicine, promotes
telomerase activity and therefore lengthens telomeres.

Science of Our Human
Health in the Grip of Powerful Hidden Political -Drug cos. AMA Forces Many Articles make a strong
cases for the idea that our health science is "in the grip of hidden
political forces." article, "Expert"
Detractors on California Prop 37 are Shills for Big Biotech. Reveals how for-profit corporations hire "3rd party
experts" to bring their message to you, especially through the media. This, is a commonly used form of
propaganda, perfected by the tobacco industry, now used by the Drug pushers and
AMA. It's nothing but advertising masquerading as "information," or
worse, as "independently-verified evidence." In essence, it's a
hidden form of social control, where the opinion of the masses is steered by
industry- and/or government forces.
Maximizing Revenues/Profits are the Game. America has a DISGUSTING health record as
compared to rest of world !
As an example of what we're
talking about here, take a look at cancer research. While a lot of research
money is funneled into genetic research, virtually nothing is spent on
determining the extent to which our food and environment triggers the disease.
As stated earlier, your genes will express or suppress genetic data depending
on the environment in which it finds itself, meaning the presence or absence of
appropriate nutrients, toxins, and even your thoughts and feelings, which
unleash hormones and other chemicals in your body. Research into the health of
our ancient ancestors4 also suggests that cancer is indeed
a manmade
disease, in large part caused by
environmental factors such as: OUR
Immune System is our POWER, therefore ignored in America !
Some Cancer causes IGNORED !

Pesticide- and other synthetic
chemical exposures, also in foods

50 Industry Groups Form a New Alliance to Manipulate Public
Opinion
50
front groups, working on behalf of food and
biotechnology trade groups―Monsanto being the most prominent― formed a
coalition called Alliance to Feed the Future. This alliance, which is being
coordinated by the International Food Information Council (IFIC), was
ostensibly created to "balance the public dialogue" on modern
agriculture and large-scale food production and technology, i.e. this group
will aim to become the go-to source for "real" information about the junk being sold as "food."
However, the groups comprising this new alliance actually
represent multi-national food companies, biotech industry,
and chemical cos that generate hundreds of billions of dollars worth of revenue
from food related sales every year. This hardly makes them a reliable source of
independent information, yet unless the public becomes widely aware of this
ruse to confuse them, they will likely succeed in their mission to manipulate
public opinion about food.
There is a MAJOR research, clinical studies, International effort to
Enhance the use of Stem Cell technology, Telomere lengthening and all related
to Heal injuries/illnesses and improve longevity. There is MUCH to be
learned, however what we do know is this: there are certain
supplements—multivitamins, omega 3
fatty acids, vitamin D, Astralagus, green tea extract—that are associated with
longer telomere length. And while it is still too soon to know if these
supplements actually promote telomerase activity, we do know that individuals
who consume these supplements have longer telomeres. Following these efforts for several years has
seen meaningful strides.
·
Organic foods (Diet Alkaline) still are #1
·
DEEP breathing is likely #2
·
Quality exercise likely #3
·
Minimize stress likely #4
In America, where the so called medical system DOES NOT
seek to ENHANCE our immune systems, rather they TREAT health issues - NEVER
HEAL or CURE, or seek CAUSES, as that
would destroy revenues. They allow
disgusting adulteration of foods with chemicals, gross overuse of drugs (Drug pushers),
even ignore the use Drugs (Antibiotics) in farming and animal production. Therefore adding some herbs, acupuncture, Theracurimin, Astralagus, Meditation/Yoga, etc., as noted above is valid.
Do NOT be Acidic -
Acidic cell environment will likely cause knee & hip replacements - plus
other negative health conditions !
Oriental medicine has ALWAYS been grounded in, "seeking to ENHANCE the Immune Systems
functioning" - I seek to closely follow trends in
China, Japan, top University's, etal.
