Longevity and Anti-aging Genetic Anti-aging: telemeres
several articles:
Genetic Anti-aging How to Begin Genetic Anti-Aging in Your Own HomeMy first seminar on telomeres and aging has come and gone� People from all over the world came to hear about the remarkable new technology. Today, I want to show you how take advantage of this anti-aging breakthrough on your own. The telomere is your body�s aging clock. Control it and you can grow older and feel and look younger at the same time. In recent letters, I gave you pieces of this powerful aging mechanism. I�ll give you the whole story here� The latest telomere research confirms: You can slow down � even reverse � the aging process and ward off disease right now. I just read the results of a groundbreaking study zeroing in on telomerase � the enzyme that rebuilds the telomere.1 Here�s what they did�and what they found out. They took 24 men who were already suffering from treatable prostate cancer and got them to make a few simple changes. These included some of the same things I use with my patients, including:
The results were impressive. After three months, researchers found that levels of telomerase increased by 29 percent. This is similar to the way my new TA-65 works. The men also showed all the signs of getting younger while growing older, including:
That means you can start your own anti-aging program just by making a few simple changes. In my practice most are reporting younger-looking skin and ramped-up energy levels. Shift Your Aging Clock into �Reverse�I mentioned earlier that your body has its own internal clock. It literally controls aging. It�s called the telomere. What are telomeres? You�ll find them in every single cell of your body. They act like �fasteners� at both ends of your chromosomes, the long threads of protein that make up your DNA. Telomeres preserve your youth and health by keeping those threads from �fraying� as your cells divide. This is an important function: telomeres protect your genes from injury. If the ends of your chromosomes were exposed, your cells would run the risk of losing vital genetic information during the process of cell division. That could lead to damage, dangerous mutation that can lead to cancer�even premature cell death. This is one of the reasons why telomeres are crucial to your body�s ability to regenerate, restore, and repair itself. There�s a twist, though. At the same time that they�re protecting your DNA, telomeres also gradually program your cells to grow old. This is how it works: each time your cells divide, a small bit of the telomere is not copied into the daughter cells. In other words, your telomeres�the guardians of each cell�s health and your overall health as well�start to disappear. As they get shorter and shorter, your telomeres signal to your cells that it�s time to begin the process of aging�and dying. Now you can see why we call the telomere your body�s �internal clock.� It isn�t time alone that causes you to age. There�s actually a mechanism inside each cell in your body that causes you to get old. Suppose you could �tinker� with that mechanism. In other words, keep your telomeres from getting shorter as your cells divide, so that they don�t age or die. Well, you can. Control Your Aging by Managing this �Waste Product�Homocysteine is a natural �waste product� every cell in your body throws off as they convert fuel into energy. It�s also a highly reactive chemical. At high levels, it binds to the proteins in healthy cells and causes damage. There was a clue that something else was going on, though: people with high homocysteine levels are at greater risk for a lot of diseases associated with aging. This includes heart attack, impotence, Alzheimer�s and Parkinson�s. It�s only in the past decade that geneticists have been able to uncover the most important connection between homocysteine and aging. High homocysteine levels triple the amount of telomeric length you lose as your cells divide.2 Now that you understand the role telomeres play in aging, you can see what this means. Your �internal clock� could run as much as three times faster if you�ve got high homocysteine levels. It also means that by taking steps to stop the kind of damage homocysteine and free radicals cause, you not only protect yourself from dangerous age-related health conditions. You actually slow down the aging process. This is just one example. Since we made the connection between telomeres and aging, we�ve discovered that having longer telomeres means a higher resistance to disease and lower risk for heart attack, diabetes, senility, and cancer of the breast, prostate, lung and colon. TA-65 Can Make Miracles Commonplace�TA-65 is still the best technique available when it comes to preserving telomere length and reversing the effects of aging. You�ve heard me talk about this miracle molecule over the past several months. It works by stimulating the release of an enzyme called telomerase. It rebuilds your telomeres after cell division, but the gene that makes it is switched off. TA-65 turns it back on�and turns the back the hands of your internal clock. At first I was skeptical. But after meeting with the scientists who discovered it in person and reviewing their research, I was sold. So much so that I�m now the first licensed doctor in this country with permission to use TA-65 here at my Wellness Center. I�m also taking it myself. Let me assure you, the changes are real and dramatic. One of the most amazing things about it is that it will work for you no matter what your age. In fact the very first group to try this new therapy�and experience its rejuvenating powers firsthand�were between 60 and 85 years old.3 TA-65 is available to you too� To get all the details, call my office and talk to Jamie, she�s our VIP coordinator for TA-65 therapy. You can call her toll free at 1-866-792-1035. She's in the office Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. EST. That said, I know that not everyone can make it to my clinic. It may be some time before TA-65 becomes widely available. This doesn�t mean you�re out of options. There are simple, safe, natural ways you can keep your telomeres from shortening. This means more than just halting the aging process. It also means protecting yourself from age-related health conditions�even reversing them. In addition to the steps I listed from the telomerase study, I recommend you keep your homocysteine in check. You can find these nutrients to do that for you at most health food stores:
