My newest book, “Immortality Edge”, coauthored by Greta Blackburn and David Woynarowski is a combined look at diet, exercise, lifestyle, meditation, and other approaches. It is not intended to give advice on how to lengthen telomeres, so much as to slow down their loss; not so much aimed at reversing aging, as slowing the process by everyday means.
For those of you interested in actually reversing the process, consider contacting TA Sciences, who have a commercially available telomerase activator. There are at least two (perhaps three) other know public sources, but some questions have been raised (and remain unanswered) regarding regarding patent infringement and efficacy of the available compounds. To be fair, the question of efficacy has also been raised with regard to TA Sciences’s product, TA65, but there is both laboratory data and some initial human clinical data supporting the efficacy of this compound. How well TA65 will bear up under long term scrutiny remains to be seen, but the initial data is supportive and consistent with what is known of both human aging and human pathology. For example, we know that human aging generally takes decades to occur and there is some a priori reason to suggest that reversing the process might take a similar time course, rather that merely a few months. In reality, we might expect that some processes (e.g., immunce rejuvenation) should proceed faster than other processes (e.g., changes in the coronary arteries or joint surfaces) and this expectation is consistent with the current data.

Dr. Michael Fossel Discusses “Reversing Human Aging”
Date posted: 14.12.2009
Dr. Michael Fossel, M.D., Ph.D., gave a presentation on “Reversing Human Aging” at the National Institutes of Health’s Natcher Center on April 16, 1996. The presentation was sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution’s Smithsonian Associates. LES members and subscribers were notified of the talk, and a number of LES members attended. (more…)
Reversing human aging: it’s time to consider the consequences.

Science may soon be able to slow, stop, or even reverse the aging process in humans. What will happen when people can live on and on for centuries?
Within the next two decades we will extend the healthy human life-span indefinitely and, in doing so, alter human culture forever. (more…)
