An extraordinary new anti-ageing technique could see humans live to 150 years old and allow them to regrow their organs by 2020. Harvard Professor David Sinclair and researchers from the University of New South Wales developed the new process, which involves reprogramming cells. Dr Sinclair said the technique could allow people to regenerate organs, and even allow paralysis sufferers to move again, with human trials due within two years. The same researchers also found they could increase the lifespan of mice by ten per cent by giving them a vitamin B derivative pill. They also said the pill led to a reduction in age-related hair loss, according to The Herald Sun. Professor Sinclair said he hoped the pill would be available to the public within five years and cost the same each day as a cup of coffee. But the professor from the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School warned people not to try to reverse the aging process before the science has been published or peer reviewed. 'We do not recommend people go out and take NAD precursors as they have not yet formally tested for safety,' he said. The science behind the new technique involves the molecule nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), which plays a role in generating energy in the human body. The chemical is already used as a supplement for treating Parkinson's disease and fighting jet lag. Professor Sinclair, who is using his own molecule to reduce the aging process, said his biological age has dropped by 24 years after taking the pill. He said his father, 79, has been white water rafting and backpacking after starting using the molecule a year-and-a-half ago. The professor said his sister-in-law was now fertile again after taking the treatment, despite having started to transition into menopause in her 40s.

Stunning anti-ageing breakthrough could see humans live to 150 and regenerate organs by 2020 ‘for the price of a coffee a day’
It can only get worse.
Something tells me that only the worst people in the world will be able to afford this.
Now, if I mix that with the stuff Alex Jones sells, will I have an immortal har*on?
...and the retirement age for full social security benefits will double to 140 years.
Pass.
Check out Amazon. My wife and I have been trying this the past two months. We seem to have a little more energy than before.
The amazing thing is that a study showed it could reverse pancreatic and liver cancer in mice, too.
Hope it’s not the price of a Starbucks coffee.
The Daily Mail is notorious for stories like this, none of which are ever followed up with real facts or consequences. It’s the British equivalent to the National Enquirer.
Babyboomer bookmark;)
Who the hell wants to live to 150?

The same people who want to live to 100.
What the hell is fifty more???
Yeah, she probably just wet herself hearing the news.....
I don’t want to live to be 150.
I want more than that to see again the ones that I’ve lost.
Don’t worry, don’t worry.
McCain and Kenneday are already dead. He ain’t coming back.
Hillary and Ruth Ginsberg are still in jeopardy of receiving treatment, butt she’d have to wear her back brace, foot-ankle cast, and colostomy bag to all of her speeches ...
No thanks. I want to interview Ezekiel and Silas and worship on healthy knees.
Giddyup! I was planning on living into my hundreds anyway. 150 would be good.
I’m reminded of that amazing breakthrough product, Olestra, that was going to do away with fatness.
Just think.McCain could have had a new brain installed. Nooooooo!
I certainly do!
