Stunning anti-ageing breakthrough could see humans live to 150
Daily Mail ^ | 12:44 EDT, 1 September 2018 | Charlie Coe

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.

Hmmm...I won’t search it, but wasn’t one of the side effects ‘anal seepage?’

Oh crap, now I have a visual of that picture of Hillary with the brown spot.

TheClintons living to 150. The mind boggles.

And because of that, think about all the additional people who won't live.

That reminds me of the joke sodpoodle posted yesterday (I paraphrase):
An old man in the nursing home went to the nurse with a problem. She said, "okay...what's wrong?"

He said "my penis died." She just looked at him.

The next day, the nurse was walking down the hall and saw the old man in question and his fly was open and his penis was hanging out.

She said, "why are you exposing yourself?"

He responded, "well, he died yesterday...and today is the viewing."

How much NAD+ do you take, daily? Just curious.... thanks.

I take 250 mg of NAD+ and 100 mg of Pterostilbene.

The product put out by Elysium is just a combination of NAD+ and Pterostilbene, both of which are available separately from several sources. I get my NAD+ through the Life Extension Foundation during their yearly vitamin sale (November through January) at a sharp discount, and I get the Pterostilbene from Amazon. Along with all the other vitamins and supplements I take, my health is great. I just turned 70 two weeks ago, and most people assume I’m in my 50’s.
...............
I’ve been taking elysium for a couple years. I’m 65 and people generally think I’m about 50. (But I’ve always looked younger than my age. I was carded in my younger years until I was nearly 30.)

Elysium is expensive. But if you buy a years supply— you can get it at $40 for a months supply. What’s your combined expense per month for Pterostilbene from Amazon and NAD+ through the Life Extension Foundation during their yearly vitamin sale (November through January) .... I’m assuming that by Nad+ what you mean is nicotinamide riboside—as that’s what makes the NAD.

This past November I purchased 12 bottles (each with 30 capsules at 250 mg) of NAD+ (containing NIAGEN® Nicotinamide Riboside) from Life Extension at the sale price of $25.20 each (total of $302.40 for a year’s supply). The Pterostilbene via Amazon was $22.99 for 100 capsules (each 100 mg) for a total annual cost of around $84. The combined total is around $386.

Elysium says their bottle contains 30 servings, each of which consists of 2 capsules, and each serving has 250 mg of NAD+ along with 50 mg of Pterostilbene.

Overall it’s not a big difference in annual cost. I tend to go with Life Extension because I’ve bought many other vitamin supplements from them for many, many years, and I trust them.

During the US Marines' attack at Belleau Wood on June 6, 1918, Sgt. Dan Daly famously said, "Come on, you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?"

It was in that battle that the Marines earned their nickname of Teufelhunden/Devil Dogs.

I have a photo, taken in 1954, of my father with one of the Marines who survived that battle.

Topo late for her. She already had a head transplant and it didn’t take.

Thank you for recommendations, just doing some research to see what one to use.

I guess I could be trained to give myself shots at home if I pushed the matter. I’ve asked about it twice and they kind of brush me off saying most people go in to have a nurse administer it.

I found out about this deficiency when I started getting extreme dizzy/lightheaded spells, numb hips and legs after walking, and my speech was being affected, brain slow. Doc sent me to rule out heart condition, neurologist and checked blood levels to include B-12.
