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.

Oh no! That’s enough to make you want to die EARLY, just to get away from them!
Why just 150?
How about forever?
Here is the way.
The Gospel in six words:
Created (God created you)
Loved (God loves you)
Sinned (You are separated from God by sin, your own or inherited. The penalty for sin is death.)
Bought (God sent His son to pay the penalty (death) for your sin.)
Believed (You must believe that He has done this for you, both mind and heart. Romans 10:9-10. Accept the gift of life that your Creator is offering to you.)
Saved (If you believe, accepting God’s gift of forgiveness and eternal life in true faith, you will be saved.)
Blessings to you and your loved ones.
Do not put off the gift that God is offering to you.
If you do not choose life, what is the alternative?
There will be no second chance.
Thanks but no thanks. Living to 150 means working until 140; 130 at the earliest unless a fortune could be made to support the person before that. Social Security and other pensions would not begin until 135.
Besides, the way the left and the young are ruining everything in their path, who really wants to see the world we knew be destroyed from within?
(only available to Democrat voters.)
I will believe this when i start seeing dozens of people reaching 130. fat chance...
No thanks.
Finally!
I’d been worried that Aussies put so much energy into talking funny that they’d never have enough left over to invent something useful.
Prince Philip, Henry Kissinger, Jimmy Carter, GHWB are well on their way, lol.
No thank you. I don’t want to play this strange game any longer than I absolutely have to.
Besides, wouldn’t this lead to hiring quotas among other things. “At least 10% of your full-time staff must be over the age of 115 years, or you may be liable for age discriminating against the aged and those with defacto-disabilities.”
**Mr. J. Smith tried to apply for a job supervising a team of Window Washers.
When the interviewer discovered Mr. J. Smith’s current residence was a Hospice, he suddenly stopped the interview without explanation, and had the applicant escorted (wheeled) to the front lobby.
Mr. J. Smith was livid with anger and bafflement!
Even if I took these pills, me ex wife would still make it to 151.
Doesn’t matter, life will still be fatal.
Methuselah
Hey Doc, can you regrow this organ for me?
Hell no.
The comments all seem to be fake.
If I could go back healthwise 25 years and then feel like a 50 year old until I am 90, that would be enough. For those whining about having to continue working, isn’t work the best part of your life already? Not the most precious, but the very best. I enjoy the H out of going to work, and wish I could continue, but old age is knocking and I hate that.
A quick search on eBay, Amazon and Walmart indicate approx $1 a tablet.
