Medical Advances and Immortality For this page, this is various readings I’ve
done and tried to put it together over time as sort of a research paper. It’s
been slow and for many years, I actually was just doing all of this for myself,
so I haven’t recorded many of my references, although I have presented a few
here and there once I felt I should likely go ahead and include some. This
‘paper’ was originally supposed to try to tie in to both my dragon research
and religious studies, so it started off with a bit of background information
on them and then tries to build up to some more modern method ways people try
to extend their lives. I know that some is not precise, some is just portions
of copy and paste from sites I went to because they literally did not need
rewording in my opinion. I have a desire for a long life, and so that is why
I eventually began this particular ‘paper’ to begin with, and also since I
did feel I could put all things together as both a history and methods of
practices. I’ve seen books that show me parts here and there, however never
just one complete ‘story’ necessarily. I know ancient folks used to try to do
this, and they were successful in a number of ways for their time. So, if you
find this useful, I’m glad. Someday, I hope to be able to further my typing
and be able to get things more precise. I think it would be good. I would
like to thank teachers I’ve had though, and also a person I met only a few
times named something similar to Gaelin. They, along with my mother, and a
feeling for correct information, inspired me to try to research anything at
all many years ago. --Image to the

Who is God, where did he come from, and what relation does the
name Yahweh have to things? (need to state that Yahweh was the mountain god,
but also was compared to the god/alien El Elion/El/Enki(du) (also Jesus), and
is therefore just another name for the original name of Enki.
What is
Immortality?
Immortality
(or eternal life) is the
concept of living in a physical or spiritual form for an infinite or
inconceivably vast length of time. As immortality is the negation of mortality—not dying or not
being subject to death—it has been a subject of fascination to humanity since
at least the beginning of history. The Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the
first literary works, dating back at least to the 22nd century BC, is
primarily a quest of a hero seeking to become immortal. What form an unending
human life would take (as well as whether it is subject to incapacitation),
or whether the soul exists and possesses immortality, has been a major point
of focus of religion, as well as the subject of speculation, fantasy, and
debate. It is not known whether human physical immortality is an
achievable condition. Biological forms have inherent limitations which may or
may not be able to be overcome through medical interventions or engineering.
As of 2009, natural selection has developed biological immortality in at
least one species, the jellyfish Turritopsi nutricula, one consequence
of which is a worldwide population explosion of the organism. What are some things said to cause aging and why? (14 theories
of aging here)
1. Programmed cell death and the
telomere "end replication problem" are found even in the earliest
and simplest of organisms. Telomere is a 'cap' on the ends of DNA that help
cells to split and recreate. These eventually wear down and at that point a
cell actually dies because it can no longer replicate itself anymore. This
can be caused by oxidation on the body, which can increase as a person ages
due to leakage of electrons from mitochondria in a cell. Leakage increases as
energy production increases without the proper protection. This can be
lessened, as even pidgeons have this leakage issue, however their protection
is greater. Cutting down on the leakage causing oxidation, ie the release of
ROS (reactive oxidative substances) in experiments, has caused extension in
lifespans. 2. Cell death and telomere
shortening may have originally became noticeable after the other set of
beings (Gods) took a typical creature from earth and injected some of the
being dna into them in order to increase the evolutionary change of the
creatures which became a more modern man and have them take on more of an
image of the ‘creators’. Something in this either caused longer life or for
aging to be rapidly progressed from what it was. Either way, there was a
change in lifespans of people during these times that these beings were
supposedly here. 3. Mutation accumulation is another
theory, formulated by Peter Medawar in 1952, to explain how evolution would
select for aging. Essentially, ageing is never selected against, as organisms
have offspring before the mortal mutations surface in an individual. 4. Yet another theory is the
disposable soma theory was proposed in 1977 by Thomas Kirkwood, which states
that an individual body must allocate energy for metabolism, reproduction,
and maintenance, and must compromise when there is food scarcity. Compromise
in allocating energy to the repair function is what causes the body gradually
to deteriorate with age, according to Kirkwood. Has anyone or anything ever actually lived forever?
1. A
jellyfish, after becoming a sexually mature adult, can transform itself back
into a child (the polyp stage) using the cell conversion process of
transdifferentiation. Turritopsis nutricula repeats this cycle, meaning that
it may have an indefinite lifespan.- why? how does it do it? what is its
secret? The fertilized eggs develop in the
stomach and in the screen formed by the cave in the jellyfish planula. The
eggs are then planted on the seabed in polyp colonies. The jellyfish hatches
after two days. The jellyfish becomes sexually mature after a few weeks (the
exact duration depends on the ocean temperature; at 20 °C (68 °F)
it is 25 to 30 days and at 22 °C (72 °F) it is 18 to 22 days). Jellyfish usually die after propagating;
however, the Turritopsis nutricula has developed the ability to return
to a polyp state. This is done through a cell change in the external screen
(exumbrella). The cells revert to a different state. The medusa is
transformed into a stolon and the polyps into a hydroid colony. The umbrella
turns inside out; middle section and tentacles are reabsorbed before the
polyp spawns. Stolons form two days before the polyps differentiate. The
ability to reverse the life cycle is probably unique in the animal kingdom,
and allows the jellyfish to bypass death, rendering the Turritopsis
nutricula biologically immortal. Lab tests showed that 100% of specimens
reverted to the polyp stage 2. Next
on the list of immortals is supposedly the Vedic and the post-Vedic rishis
(such as Markandeya) attained physical immortality, Sri Aurobindo states,
which includes the ability to change one's shape at will, and create multiple
bodies simultaneously in different locations. 3. Jesus 4. Enki(du)
(in one version of the tablets), and the ‘gods’ others from the Sumerian
stories from the Epic of Gilgamesh. (Jesus is Enki, still alive after a very
incredibly long time) (Jesus has been compared to the sun and to some
degrees, can be understood in an astrological sort of way.) The Epic of Gilgamesh, an epic poem
from Mesopotamia,
is amongst the earliest surviving works of literature. The
literary history of Gilgamesh begins with five independent Sumerian poems about 'Bilgamesh' (Sumerian for Gilgamesh),
king of Uruk. Four
of these were used as source material for a combined epic in Akkadian. This first, "Old
Babylonian" version of the epic dates to the 18th century BC and is
titled Shūtur eli sharrī ("Surpassing All Other
Kings"). Only a few fragments of it survive. The later, Standard
Babylonian version dates from the 13th to the tenth centuries BC and bears
the title Sha naqba īmuru ("He who Saw the
Deep"). Fragments of approximately two thirds of this longer, twelve-tablet
version have been recovered. Some of the best copies were discovered in the library ruins of the 7th-century BC Assyrian king Ashurbanipal. The story centers on a friendship between Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Enkidu is
a wild man created by the gods as Gilgamesh's equal to distract him from
oppressing the people of Uruk. Together, they journey to the Cedar Mountain to defeat Humbaba, its
monstrous guardian. Later they kill the Bull of Heaven, which the goddess Ishtar sends to punish
Gilgamesh for spurning her advances. As a punishment for these actions, the
gods sentence Enkidu to death. The later half of the epic focuses on Gilgamesh's distress at
Enkidu's death, and his quest for immortality. In order to learn the secret
of eternal life, Gilgamesh undertakes a long and perilous journey to find the
immortal flood hero, Utnapishtim. He learns that "The life
that you are seeking you will never find. When the gods created man they
allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping." His
fame however lived on after his death, because of his great building
projects, and his account of what Utnapishtim told him happened during the
flood. 5.
Utnapishtim, the immortal flood
hero whom Enki(du) was looking for from the Epic of Gilgamesh stories so as
to gain immortality. Various themes, plot elements, and characters in the Epic have counterparts in the book
of Genesis, notably in the stories of the Garden
of Eden and Noah's Flood. The
parallels between the stories of Enkidu/Shamhat and Adam/Eve have been long
recognized by scholars.[15]
In both, a man is created from the soil by a god, and lives in a natural
setting amongst the animals. He is introduced to a woman who tempts him. In
both stories the man accepts food from the woman, covers his nakedness, and
must leave his former realm, unable to return. The presence of a snake that
steals a plant of immortality from the hero later in the epic is another point
of contact. Andrew
R. George submits that the flood story in Genesis 6–8 matches the
Gilgamesh flood myth so closely, "few doubt" that it derives from a
Mesopotamian account.[16]
What is particularly noticeable is the way the Genesis flood story follows
the Gilgamesh flood tale "point by point and in the same order",
even when the story permits other alternatives.[17] In
a 2001 Torah commentary released on behalf of the Conservative Movement of
Judaism, rabbinic scholar Robert Wexler stated: "The most likely
assumption we can make is that both Genesis and Gilgamesh drew their material
from a common tradition about the flood that existed in Mesopotamia. These
stories then diverged in the retelling." Anunaki? All of these are said to have had an
immortal body in one way or another. What’s are some other bodies aside from those that are
placed as human (includes human-like bodies people were created from) that
have been placed as Immortal? (have to change this up some perhaps due to
newfound information and should be taken from the what are immortal bodies
from dragon research) If jesus is god .. enki is god, that
means they are either of the original group of advanced beings that came to
earth and/or made of pure blood.. Enki tells a melchazedick, and then melch
prophesise of a child that will come in the future, Jesus, who would be the
god as a man (implying that the dna had been worked around some more). That
atleast tells how god could have told of himself and still been different
people, because the term god represented the upper class of advanced beings,
just as the term Satan(which actually means wise man in older days) applied
to the lower class of advanced beings. Enki would have already been familiar
with the workings of dna, so could have worked things out where mary could be
impregnated without having to have been with a man. This would have not made
a creature as what’s known as a nephilim as direct contact would
(possibilities of all sorts of anomalies cropping up (example similarity :
STD). What have some of these been compared to and what do they have
to do with immortality? (what are some different types of immortal bodies
section combined with comparisons. Need to make sure to separate what is
considered somewhat fiction/religious necessarily from the scientific as
alternates, but need to shift in to some of the dragon research so it can be
placed below for a book. Try to keep things separated for your own purposes
after you are done creating a single document for the book)
(Rest of
Dragon Research goes here?)
What are
some things being researched to help lengthen life?
1.
Scientists believe that boosting
the amount or proportion of a naturally forming enzyme, telomerase, in the
body could prevent cells from dying and so may ultimately lead to extended,
healthier, lifespans. Telomerase is a protein that helps maintain the
protective caps at the ends of chromosomes.[23] A team of researchers at the
Spanish National Cancer Centre (Madrid) tested the hypothesis on mice. It was
found that those mice which were genetically engineered to produce 10 times
the normal levels of telomerase lived 50% longer than normal mice.[24] 2.
In normal circumstances, without
the presence of telomerase, if a cell divides recursively, at some point all
the progeny will reach their Hayflick limit. With the presence of telomerase,
each dividing cell can replace the lost bit of DNA, and any single cell can
then divide unbounded. While this unbounded growth property has excited many
researchers, caution is warranted in exploiting this property, as exactly
this same unbounded growth is a crucial step in enabling cancerous growth. 3.
Telomerase was boosted by 30
percent in prostate cancer patients who followed a plant-based, whole-grain
diet with very little fat or sugar for three months. The men also took fish
oil supplements, did daily 30-minute bouts of exercise, and practiced yoga or
meditation for an hour a day. "Telomerase turns up those genes
associated with disease prevention and turns down the genes associated with
heart disease, diabetes, and cancer," explains Ornish. Excersice
upregulates a thing called PCG-1alpha, which has been shown to help extend
lifespan. 4.
Transdifferentiated stem cells
are another way of slowing down mortality and increasing life span.
Differentiation means ability of a cell of a certain type of dna to change
itself depending on what job it is supposed to do, in size shape, etc,
although the code is the same. The only cells able to differentiate fully for
everything are stem cells. Transdifferentiation means that a cell such as a
stem cell has already changed/differentiated and has a set path it is taking,
but it is taken from that path, mixed with other cells that are not the same
type, and caused to differentiate again off of its original intentions and
begin mimicking the newly introduced cells. Basically, one cell changing into
another type of cell. An example of this would be in salamanders and chickens
when the lens of the eye is removed, cells of the iris turn into lens cells. 5.
Another ‘theory’ is
regular exposure to low dose ionized radiation is elt to be another way to atleast
cut down on various types of cancer, rather than causing it. This is called
radiation hormesis. In a publication from 2009, using a revised hormetic
relative risk model for cancer induction that accounts for both epigenetic
activation (epiactivation)
and episilencing of genes, it was demonstrated at one point that, on average,
>80% of alpha-radiation-induced rat lung cancers were prevented by
chronic, low-rate gamma ray ANP. Interestingly, lifetime exposure to
residential radon at the Environmental Protection Agency’s action level of 4
pCi L−1 appears to be associated with on average a > 60%
reduction in lung cancer cases, rather than an increase. The title of the
publication was Radiation-Stimulated
Epigenetic Reprogramming of Adaptive-Response Genes in the Lung: An
Evolutionary Gift for Mounting Adaptive Protection Against Lung Cancer. 6. The next item, NF-kB, is one of the body’s regulatory means for handling situations of stress, cancer, damage or disease. Activating hundreds of the body’s natural antioxidant and stress defense genes, the Nrf2/Keap1 pathway provides a central mechanism for most if not all forms of generally favorable biological responses to low exposures of toxins and other stressors, also known as hormesis. In eukaryotic cells NF-kB is an important regulator of genes that control cell proliferation and cell survival. NF-kB regulates anti-apoptotic genes that protect healthy cells from cell death and activates the expression of genes that keep cells proliferating. On the other hand, activated NF-kB binding to genes has long been known to play a central role in promoting runaway inflammation and inflammation’s negative consequences. — These consequences include promotion of angiogenesis, proliferation, metastasis and invasiveness in cancer tumors, autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative diseases and contributing to the activation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) leading to AIDS. – There appears to be increasing evidence that inhibition of expression of NF-kB could be a key approach for fighting cancers, controlling inflammatory diseases, AIDS, neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson’s Disease and a number of other significant age-related maladies. — Recent studies position NF-kB even more centrally with respect to longevity. It is likely that NF-kB expression is central to a programmed set of changes which we call aging. One study(ref1) confirms that that in multiple mammalian tissues (including skin fibroblasts, kidney, cortex, kidney medulla, abdominal muscle, skeletal muscle, and brain), aging involves continuing changes in expression of hundreds of genes. And, further, NF-kB signaling appears to be a major regulator of gene expression related to the aging progress. In fact, by inhibiting NF-kB cell signaling the researchers were able to cause the epidermal tissue of old mice to revert to the state of very young mouse tissue, both in observable characteristics and in genetic expression profile. The authors show that NF-kB cell signaling is a meta-factor for determining aging of nine other key cell types as well, and they argue that the results should apply equally to humans and other mammals.” NF-kB can be regulated more though by creating an anti-inflammatory environment, which is hostile to cancer cells since there is a relationship between Nrf2 and cancer. This can be helped by eating the right foods, and taking the right supplements. 7.
Moving on, you should eat some
foods that are natural HDAC (?) inhibitors. These are foods which are already
on my list of foods, but here they are here as well. Some natural HDAC
inhibitors are broccoli and broccoli sprouts (both have sulforaphane), garlic
(1 garlic bulb per day), chives, shallots, regular and purple onions (higher
in vitamin c though), brussels sprouts, cabbage (also saur kraut which is
made from cabbage), cauliflower, horseradish, kale, mustard, watercress,
tomatoes, apples, citrus (ruby red grapefruit), turmeric (curcumin)(chicken
curry), soybean, coffee, cinnamon, tea, broccoli, cashew nuts, grapes 8.
A certain level of mitochondrial
antioxidatives can be good to have, but having too much can also have a
negative effect on mitochondria. While increasing mitochondrial antioxidation
can be useful for life extension, a recent idea to cut down on a leak of
electrons from mitochondria has been found might be better. Some key
mitochondrial antioxidants are alpha-lipoic acid, acetyl-l-carnitine, melatonin
and buckyballs in particular. Another item, known as buckyballs mixed with
olive oil, is a mitochondrial antioxidant, and could be useful to keep the
mitochondria giving energy, but due to leakage of electrons, the extra energy
might still cause aging and harm to the mitochondria itself, however this
item also has a ‘possibility’ of increasing lifespan substantially according
to experiments done with rats. Certain mitochondrial mutation polymorphisms
appear to be associated with exceptional longevity in human subpopulations,
and mitochondrial antioxidant interventions extend the lives of mice and
other lower species. Analyzing single mutations in 10 different degenerative
conditions across five species, Wright and collaborators found that age of
onset and severity of disease correlates closely with the rate of ROS
leakage. “If we could slow ROS leakage, there’s a prospect we could delay the
onset of a wide spectrum of degenerative diseases,” he says. Since mtDNA spin
off so much ROS and are damage-prone and have limited self-repair capability,
it seems logical to surmise that what is going on with aging is increasing
amounts of mutationally damaged mtDNA and that this is correlated with
greatly increased susceptibility to age-related neurological and other
diseases. This is actually a quite
established view of aging, articulated the years ago in the publication
Oxidative Stress, Mitochondrial DNA Mutation, and Impairment of Antioxidant
Enzymes in Aging1. “Mitochondria do
not only produce less ATP, but they also increase the production of reactive
oxygen species (ROS) as by-products of aerobic metabolism in the aging
tissues of the human and animals. So from how I understand it, as we get
older, the mitochondria release more electrons that causes oxidation wear and
tear, and the body can't keep up with it, and we should try to cut down on
the ‘key’ mitochondrial antioxidents, but not completely, especially since
necessary. What are different ideas ‘claiming’ as possibilities to achieve
Immortality or increase lifespan?
Metaphysical universals and abstract phenomena have an eternal
existence, and if they can be interacted with by human beings, then a person
might obtain a degree of immortality by interacting with them. Quantum immortality is not widely
regarded by the scientific community as being a verifiable or even
necessarily correct offshoot of the many worlds interpretation. In the many
worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, the wavefunction never collapses,
and thus all possible outcomes of a quantum event exist simultaneously, with
each event apparently spawning an entirely new universe in which a single
possible outcome exists. In this theory, a person could hypothetically live
forever as there might exist a string of possible quantum outcomes in which
that individual never dies. Life extension technologies promise
a path to complete rejuvenation. Cryonics holds out the hope that the dead
can be revived in the future, following sufficient medical advancements.
Modern cryonics procedures use a process called vitrification which creates a
glass-like state rather than freezing as the body is brought to low
temperatures. This process reduces the risk of ice crystals damaging the
cell-structure, which would be especially detrimental to cell structures in
the brain, as their minute adjustment evokes the individual's mind. Mind uploading is the concept of
transference of consciousness from a human brain to an alternative medium
providing the same functionality. Assuming the process to be possible and
repeatable, this would provide immortality to the consciousness, as predicted
by futurists such as Ray Kurzweil. With mind uploading, the individuals
memory may be loaded to a computer or to a newly born baby's mind. The baby
will then grow with the previous person's individuality, and may not develop
its own personality. Extropian futurists like Moravec and Kurzweil have
proposed that, thanks to exponentially growing computing power, it will
someday be possible to upload human consciousness onto a computer system, and
live indefinitely in a virtual environment. This could be accomplished via
advanced cybernetics, where computer hardware would initially be installed in
the brain to help sort memory or accelerate thought processes. Components
would be added gradually until the person's entire brain functions were
handled by artificial devices, avoiding sharp transitions that would lead to
issues of identity. After this point, the human body could be treated as an
optional accessory and the mind could be transferred to any sufficiently
powerful computer. Robert Freitas, a nanorobotics
theorist, suggests tiny medical nanorobots could be created to go through
human bloodstreams, find dangerous things like cancer cells and bacteria, and
destroy them. Freitas anticipates that gene-therapies and nanotechnology will
eventually make the human body effectively self-sustainable and capable of
living indefinitely, short of severe trauma. This supports the theory that we
will be able to continually create biological or synthetic replacement parts
to replace damaged or dying ones. This is the most likely concept to try to
work towards achieving and understanding, and would basically be turning a
person into a cyborg of sorts, and could possibly lead to even more implants
that would possibly lead to full robotic body replacement, however nanorobots
should be sufficient enough until further studies done on mind transfers from
human body to robot body. 6. Yet another view of immortality
is traced to the Vedic tradition by the interpretation of Maharishi Mahesh
Yogi: That man indeed whom these (contacts) do not disturb, who is even-minded in pleasure and pain, steadfast, he is fit for immortality, O best of men. To Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the verse means, "Once a man has become
established in the understanding of the permanent reality of life, his mind
rises above the influence of pleasure and pain. Such an unshakable man passes
beyond the influence of death and in the permanent phase of life: he attains
eternal life… A man established in the understanding of the unlimited
abundance of absolute existence is naturally free from existence of the
relative order. This is what gives him the status of immortal life."
This, to me, is saying that the responsible steadfast person will be able to
make wise descisions and control various influences on his life well enough
to be able to use them to extend life, and can make it through any
circumstance with ease. 7. Buddhism
teaches that there is a cycle of birth, death, and rebirth and that the
process is according to the qualities of a person's actions. This constant
process of becoming ceases at the fruition of Bodhi (enlightenment) at which
a being is no longer subject to causation (karma) but enters into a state
that the Buddha called amata (deathlessness) 8. Bible
passages in Christianity are interpreted as teaching that the resurrected
body will, like the present body, be both physical (but a renewed and
non-decaying physical body) and spiritual. Honestly, with what I have read in
religion, and the things I have learned, come to understand, and now believe,
I feel that this was a look at the future, or at a present that was leftover
from another time which fell greatly. We, as people are working towards this…
to try to make heaven on earth. How are the so-called magical orders tied in with these things?
(talk about how they are old ways of showing worship and such to the old gods
which are not around currently except for any which were killed, which in
that case, some of them have met the same fate as many people… life after
death and still being able to interact)(they had early interaction with the
aliens and were the brighter people of the time)
What is a
good plan to follow to help try to live longer?
Vitamins
(reasons for some, and a daily regimen below that): Any
and all vitamins below are what I plan to take. They may possibly more
effective if allowed to integrate with a liquid. They have 0 to extreme low
calories usually. The same plan may not work for you. I am attempting to
follow someone else’s regimen. Basically, as he learns, I learn. Some of the
ones listed on the chart are obtainable enough through eating the right
foods. Some of these, and certain of the foods, are also supposed to help
increase the Hayflick limit, but so is exercise. Take
these vitamins * = not necessary when right foods are
eaten:
2.
*-B50 Vitamin Complex in correct amounts - used for homocystiene levels to
avoid various older age diseases for longer. atleast 400mcg of folic acid
daily if not more for memory and for controlling homocystiene levels to avoid
various older age diseases for longer, and do not go over 2000mg of niacin in
a day. Try not to take too much niacin, as it is more for aging. 3.
*-Vitamin C – Good as an antioxidant. It can cause kidney stones, diahrea,
and other unpleasant things in too high of amounts. Usually 1000mg is fine daily.
It is easy to get this from right foods though. 4.
*-Calcium - Nothing over 2000mg per day. 5.
*-Magnesium - detrimental to many functions inside the body. Magnesium can
help with practically all things. It lowers histamine levels in the body
(what antihistamines do), which can help clear up allergy type symptoms, help
with schitzophrenia, help with tmj issues, etc. If no money to purchase the
vitamin, then go with okra. Take milk with this at a high enough level so
there's no shortage. Calcium and magnesium are absorbed better when together,
but not so well when one is higher than the other. (400 mg). Get with a
multivitamin if available in right amount. 6.
*-Fish oil supplements - naturally increase telomerase production some and cuts
down on the rate at which telomeres degrade, as well as find high omega fats
that help control and lower weight. Make sure to get purified for mercury
types and with atleast a 400mg combined between DHA and EHA. Eat 1-2 cans of
bumblebee light tuna in oil for this daily if unable to get or afford
supplements. 7.
*-Quercitin - inhibits the expression of HSP70 in cancer cells. Found in broccoli, raspberries, black tea, green tea, red wine,
red onions, tomatos. Red onion and the teas contain the most. Eat red onion
skin. 8.
*-L-Carnosine – 3 – 4 grams daily (8oz (1cup) daily of either chicken or
beef). Helps slow down the methylation of dna strands and greatly increases
the amount of times cells can divide, thereby inturn helping to stay younger
for longer. Increases GABA in the body and can increase pain and stress
tolerance. Carnosine is very abundant in protein-rich foods. Some common
examples of such foods include milks, eggs and cheese. However, the best food
sources of carnosine include beef, poultry and pork products. Beef has about
1,500 mg carnosine per pound. Poultry has about 2,000 mg carnosine per pound.
Pork has about 2,000 mg per pound. 9.
*-L-theanine – found in green tea. If you want natural occurring l-theanine,
switch over to a high grade green tea, which may contain as much as 50
milligrams per cup. High grade green tea is normally made from young tea buds
harvested early spring. They need not be expensive. As far as theanine goes,
my personal favorites are the Dragon Well
and Biluochun
tea.
11.
-cycloastragenol - replacement for astragalaside IV. Helps various stem cells
as well as regular cells in the body to begin producing again instead of
sitting around and doing nothing. telomerase activator by RevGenetics. 10x
nire effective than astragaloside IV. take before resveratrol because it
increases ability to get through blood brain barrier 12.
-Reserveratrol - orally and hold in mouth for a few minutes and let it soak
through and then swallow the rest. Take max amount allowed daily once less
expensive. Reduces inflammation. It can be found in red wines and /japanese
knotroot for amounts that do any good. activates sirt1. Reservatrol also
increases natural testosterone and helps protect the lungs from cigarette
smoke to a degree. Oral administration of resveratrol (5mg/kg b.w) to
streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced experimental diabetic rats for 30 days
significantly normalizes the levels of blood glucose, plasma insulin,
glycosylated hemoglobin, AST, ALP, ALT, and modulates the altered activities
of carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes in the liver and kidney tissus of
diabetic rats. (take into account a rat’s average weight vs. human weight,
and also take into consideration any notices for overdose). It was seen to
increase ampk which is released during muscle stimulation, but in this case
there is no stimulation in occurance. Ampk basically turns on various energy
producing pathways and is also seen as life extending qualities. In a study
of 123 Finnish adults, those born with certain increased variations of the
SIRT1 gene had faster metabolisms, helping them to burn energy more
efficiently—indicating that the same pathway shown in the lab mice works in
humans. Mice fed resveratrol for fifteen weeks had better treadmill endurance
than control mice. The study supported Sinclair's hypothesis that the effects
of resveratrol are indeed due to the activation of the Sirtuin 1 gene. The
sirtuin 1 gene basically increases the regulation by proteins against
stressors and helps increase cellular longevity. These sirtuin proteins are usually
produced by yeast, some of which can be found in red wines, however tests
with red wines show that there is not enough available in drinking of red
wine to be effective. Sirt1 genes lock onto the proteins in order to work. In
mice, oral resveratrol also produced large reductions in brain plaque in the
hypothalamus (-90%), striatum (-89%), and medial cortex (-48%) sections of
the brain. In humans it is theorized that oral doses of resveratrol may
reduce beta amyloid plaque associated with aging changes in the brain.
Researchers theorize that one mechanism for plaque eradication is the ability
of resveratrol to chelate (remove) copper. Nicholas Wade's interview-article
with Dr. Auwerx states that the dose was 400 mg/kg of body weight (much
higher than the 22 mg/kg of the Sinclair study). For an 80 kg (176
lb) person, the 400 mg/kg of body weight amount used in Auwerx's mouse
study would come to 32,000 mg/day. Compensating for the fact that humans
have slower metabolic rates than mice would change the equivalent human dose
to roughly 4571 mg/day. 13.
-DHEA - Supplementing hormones for men not living with women. 6 months longer
in mice and must be quite a bit longer in humans. Inhibits mTOR pathway which
is increased with use of niacin (b3). May only mimic calorie restriction for
obese people, allowing them to continue eating alot but keep an average
lifespan. Can cause hairloss on rare occasions, but not with everyone and
mainly women. Otherwise, this is quite safe even in higher amounts. If using
synthesized DHEA, then do not take higher doses. Naturally only found in wild
yam from Mexico extracts currently. Use 7 Keto DHEA if hairloss begins to be
experienced with regular DHEA. If an individual's DHEA levels were healthy
enough, there would be no need for estrogen, or testosterone, melatonin or
other hormone replacements, as the DHEA hormone would naturally supply your
body with whatever hormone your body happened to be lacking.
15.
-Co Q-10 or COQH - protect
mitochondria and also provides energy. This is found highest in sardines,
however not enough is provided to make it of any real benefit. Supplementing
with it with q-sorb or as coqh vs. coq10 is much better.
17.
-acytl-l-carnitine - protect mitochondria and reduce telomere shortening.
Stops unwanted cell death. Can come with alpha-lipoic. 18.
-Melatonin – natural sleep aid. 19.
-Ginko biloba - activates telomerase in non-cancer cells, and helps to
prevent various types of cancer. 60mg most days, and no more than 120mg ever,
although up to 300mg on very rare occasions is ok. Increased level of energy
and better circulation. This plant also increases circulation to the penis to
achieve rock-solid erection for a better sexual performance. More blood
coming into the penis results to bigger erection. 78% of men suffering from
non-medically related impotence had experienced the powerful results of
Gingko Biloba without any side effects. 20.
-Valerian - for now. volproaic acid later when it comes out and trials or
done or possibly given by medic at health clinic after being seen. Good for
bipolar and depression, as well as an anti-inflammatory and help with
twitching. Best taken at night. 21.
*-Vitamin D3 - histone unwrapping inhibitor - helps to prevent an item that
causes inflammation, and that enters the nucleus of a cell from activating. A
histone is a string down the middle of a set of dna strands. They wrap around
the histone, and can unwrap as well. These must be kept wrapped around the
histone in order to inhibit inflammation. Get with milk instead of a pill. 22.
-Bromelain – anti-inflammatory, and helps continue to help hair grow well. It
is found in pineapples, however not in high enough amounts to do any good. 23.
-Glucosamine Chondroitin sulphate - cartilage structure 24.
-Ashwagandah - cancer prevention and heart, as well as male performance
sexual enhancement. 25.
-Boswellia seratta - cancer prevention and heart
27.
-Nature’s Bounty - covers C, D3, E, zinc, and other important vitamins 28. - Cordyceps - type of chinese mushroom
that protects lungs and kidneys by making it easier to breathe and function.
Can supposedly cure a few different cancers. Also increases amount of
testosterone In the body. Only take if experiencing urinary problems. If male, take these supplements
that are good for enlarging a penis and/or atleast helping to keep function
at a more nominal level :
2.
-Catuaba Bark Extract - all around nervous system revitalizer. It restores
your nervous system function bringing about increased brain function, reduced
nervousness, better sleep and improved sexual function. This is the herb that
has helped the 60, 70, 80 even 90 year olds in Brazil have a healthy sex life
naturally. There are no known side effects with catuaba except the occasional
upset stomach and diarrhea when it is first introduced to the diet. The main
concern is that you are actually purchasing real catuaba bark, as there are
several exporters who export the bark as catuaba, but it is in fact from the
wrong tree. There are 2 forms of catuaba tree that supplies the actual bark
that is medicinally known for its benefits and the scientific names for these
two is Erythroxylum catuaba and Trichilia catigua. The standard daily dose is
1000mg to 2000mg. There has not been any standardization of the extract’s
concentration. 3.
-Damiana - found primarily in Central and South America. It is recorded being
used as early back as the ancient Mayan civilization to prepare for
lovemaking. Today it is used to relieve headaches, control bed wetting,
better control of the muscles in the urinary tract, as an aphrodisiac and to
enhance orgasms.
5.
-Horny Goat Weed – aka Epimedium Leaf Extract. It had been found to contain icariin
which can increase erectile function. It also increases blood circulation to
the penis. More blood supply to the penis means a larger and stronger
erection. Furthermore, it can stimulate the release of the male hormone,
testosterone, which is responsible in increasing a male's libido and sexual
endurance. It can come in strengths between 5% and 60%, most higher than that
only being used in labs. 6.
-Cuscuta Seed Extract - increases the amount of live sperm cells of a man. It
is also a known solution to premature ejaculation, a common problem among
some men which greatly affects their sexual relations. A bigger, harder and
more sustained erection is the male enhancement benefit of this natural
ingredient. It is used in conjunction with other herbs to treat a wide range
of conditions, ranging from impotence, premature ejaculation and frequent
urination, to blurred vision and dry eyes. Because of its ability to reduce
the loss of fluids from the body, cuscuta was once considered a
"longevity herb." 7.
-Ginseng is well known as a sexual stimulant. The Chinese have long held this
herb in high esteem, it is supposedly the herbal fountain of youth. It is
both a stimulant and relaxant on the central nervous system and improves
muscle stamina! A herb full of vitality and often used by men who have a loss
of sex drive. There are cautions to take when using Ginseng. Do not take
consistently and not for more than three weeks at time. Do not take during
pregnancy and avoid with high blood pressure. 8.
-Saw Palmetto Berry - Native American Indians considered the ripe fruits of
the saw palmetto a tonic and an aphrodisiac. The berries do, in fact, have a
toning effect on the male reproductive system and have been employed for
impotence and prostate problems. It can be used to treat prostate enlargement
and cystitis.
10.
*-L-Arginine - L-arginine is converted to nitric oxide which aids in the
relaxation of blood vessels. The effect is better blood circulation in the
body and especially in the extremities (eg. genitalia). For this reason
L-arginine helps in stimulating and maintaining erection (at least in males).
Men with erectile dysfunction may benefit from intake of L-arginine rich
foods or l-arginine supplement. L-arginine is a major component of ejaculate
(seminal fluid and sperm) and therefore it is important for maintaining
healthy ejaculate volume. Other L-arginine benefits include maintainance of
nitrogen balance, removal of excess ammonia, liver detoxification, reduction
of alcohol toxicity effects, wound healing, and treatment of sterility in
men. 4oz to 9oz per day. Obtained and

Eat these Foods
- Follow mainly plant-based whole grain diet with very little fat or sugar -
naturally increase telomerase production some. : 1.
2.
-Fat free turkey sausage or slices – beef is better as long as eaten with or
after antioxidant foods. 3.
-Eggs – certain brands are high in omega 3, vitamin e, and other good
vitamins. 1 or 2 daily. Cholesterol contained in eggs is not bad. Eggland’s
best is currently best. 4.
-Water - metabolism 5.
–White tea or Green Tea – metabolism and various cancer prevention. Heavy in
antioxidant power. Find teas that use young leaves, as there is more natural
theanine in it, and typically atleast about 30-50mg per cup. Most likely
available as leaf packages rather than prepared. The thenine also helps to
cancel out too much caffination. Has Quercitin. White tea is better. 6.
-Diet Dr. Pepper – no calories or sugar, and good for soda cravings. 7.
-Blueberries - cognition, neural inflammation, alzheimer’s disease, cancer, and
cardiovascular health - powerful anti-inflammatory. ½ to 1 cup per day (2oz
to 4oz (8oz only when have the money) per day). 8.
-Red wine – 8-16 oz per day (1 – 2 cups). Has quercitin. 9.
-Extra lean ground beef or larger 80/20 logs if low on money - has some
vitamin benefit, but just do not overdo. 8 oz is plenty by itself daily, and
mixed with vegetables or on side. 8oz of Turkey Sausage equals about the same
as this amount. Beef does have a higher amount of carnosine over the turkey
though. 10. -Non-fat refried
beans - higher calories but more filling in smaller amounts, so actually low
calories, fiber, protien
12. -Baby dill pickles -
don't eat more than 3 whole in a day (stops vitamin k from being as
effective. vitamin k helps with blood clotting). 0 calories with right ones.
Not too many, as these have vinegar in them, and vinegar is not a good
product to have a lot of. 13. -Okra - high vitamin
k, 14% magnesium, good vitamin C, fiber, low calories in 1 cup raw. Only do ½
cup if eating this in order to avoid too much vitamin k(4oz) 14. -Cucumbers – caffeic
acid which is anti-inflammatory. 15. -Tomatoes and tomato
sauces and pastes – Contain lycopene. Low calories though, so sugars should
be as well. It is better to heat them up just a little, as that makes more
lycopene for some reason. Has quercitin. 16. Lettuce – just good
as a little extra tastes and filler. 17. -Red onion – has
quercitin in highest, and most bioavailable amounts. The dry skin must be
eaten with these. 18. -Grapefruit, orange,
etc. 19. -Bell/Green Peppers –
Caffeic acid with anti-inflammatory properties. 20. - 21. -Fat free milk – 2 -
3 cups of milk in one day. Water and/or tea needs to be drank along with
milk. Take magnesium with this. (1000mg calcium daily). Try to use 1 cup (90
calories), and have cheese or supplementation otherwise. 22. -Special K
original – decent calories and
vitamins for cereal. 4 oz daily. 23. –Walnuts - improves
memory deficits and learning skills. Also contains L-arganine which is good
for sexual function. 5.5 oz per day. Have this or peanuts for 1 day, but not
both.
25. -Peanuts – Contain
l-arganine which is good for sexual function. 4oz per day. Have this or
wal-nuts for 1 day, but not both. Plain. 26. -Fat free yogurt –
better than milk in vitamins, and more filling. Not much higher in calories,
and also still fat free. 4 to 8oz daily (1/2 to 1 cup or heaping spoons to 10 heaping
spoons). 27. -Various herbs and
spices - good for various things. Try to stick with cinnamon (with breakfast
only), cayenne pepper (blood thinner. Put 1 – 2 tsp on breakfast item), black
pepper (lunch), and oregano (blood thinner. Use this only with dinner), curry
spices, garlic powder. These are all good as anti-oxidants and
anti-inflammatories, and In some cases anti-viral. 28. -Horseradish -
strong antibiotic, expectorant, bronchodilatator, antibacterial, coronary
vasodilatator, it increases the blood pressure, it heats up the body,
stimulates the body's immune system, anti-inflammatory, antiparasitic,
antianemic, antiscorbutic, diuretic. It can stimulate the appetite. It has a
cardiotonic effect and is recommended to the people that suffer from high
blood pressure. Also it is known that horseradish has aphrodisiacal
properties. 29. -Raw Garlic - garlic
may have health benefits such as lowering cholesterol and blood
pressure, protecting the heart and arteries, boosting immunity, increasing
anti-allergy effects, and helping in cancer prevention and therapy. 30. -Extra virgin olive
oil - reduces pro-inflammatory, pro-oxidant and pro-thrombotic markers. Regular
olive oil will not do. Try to make sure to get authentic EVOO vs. the bad
stuff. 31. -Dark chocolate -
phytochemical and caffeic acid. Have 2-3 squares per day depending on the
brand, sugar, and fat content. 32. -Salt - needed for
healthy synapses, but most things come with this, so not really very
necessary unless after iodine content. Do
these other things: 1.
30 minutes of exercise a day -
naturally increase telomerase production some. Do not over excersise, as this
is actually harmful to the body. More than 30 minutes is ok, but better to do
short and fast exercising in increments. ( about 15 minutes multiple times a
day in order to really benefit) 2.
Follow breathing techniques on
kundalini while doing meditation for 1 hour or longer. It is basically the
same idea as a practice so-called rebirthers take, but is done to simply
relieve stress and let the energy that some people believe in to come up
through the spine and give enlightenment, power, and more energy to do
things. It naturally increases telomerase production some. 3.
Become established in life and
have understanding to it. Do not be shaken at anything, but do not give in
when it is not necessary. By doing
this, a person could actually gain a title of sāttvika. A person
or creature can be called sāttvika if the creature has
predominantly sāttvika tendencies. The word Sattva itself means
‘pure’. A sāttvika (pure person) individual always works for the
welfare of the world. He is always hardworking, alert and lives life
moderately. He leads a chaste life. He eats moderately. He speaks the truth
and is bold. He never uses vulgar or insulting language. He does not feel
jealous nor is he affected by greed and selfishness. He does not cheat or
mislead anyone. He does not even allow any evil tendencies to enter his mind.
He has good memory and concentration. He also has keen interest in improving
his spiritual knowledge, and spends time worshiping god or meditating. In the
extreme state he may even perform penance or uninterrupted meditation. A satvic
individual can be recognized if his mind, speech and actions synchronize. Manasa, vacha,
karmana are the three Sanskrit words used to describe such a
state. In the Indian language, these three words are together
used to describe a state of consistency expected of an individual. These
three aspects of an individual must synchronize. An individual is expected to
speak exactly what he thinks, and do only those things that he believes in.
He must not do something which his mind asks him not to do. Neither must he
speak something that he does not believe in. It also means that the individual
must promise exactly what he can deliver. He must not promise something that
he cannot or does not intend to do. It also means that he must think before
doing anything or saying something. That essentially means his mind has
complete control over his body. Such a thing is not easy, and the expectation
is that the individual would strive to attain such a noble ideal 4.
Watch for updates on
technological life increasing items. 5.
Have orgasms regularly, even if
not to completion. This will extend life, as well as help blood flow, and
possibly enlargement, and if dairing enough, eat it, as it does contain
nutrition, including creatine. 6.
Keep a positive attitude, and
stay calm, as not doing so will shorten a life span. One type of name given
to a certain type of person who has achieved high levels on a number of
grounds with these things is known as Sattva
– pure. A person
or creature can be called sāttvika if the creature has
predominantly sāttvika tendencies. Another
similar example would the 3 wise monkeys (hear no evil, see no evil, do
no evil) What is reservatrol and How does it help?
-resveratrol ends up on longer life
span page on wikipedia after it ends up on a page about my head pressure
problem..-what is this and what does it do and where can get it from? Oral administration of resveratrol
(5mg/kg b.w) to streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced experimental diabetic
rats for 30 days significantly normalizes the levels of blood glucose, plasma
insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin, AST, ALP, ALT,[20]
and modulates the altered activities of carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes in the
liver and kidney tissus of diabetic rats. (take into account a rat’s average
weight vs. human weight, and also take into consideration any notices for
overdose). It was seen to increase ampk which is released during muscle
stimulation, but in this case there is no stimulation in occurance. Ampk
basically turns on various energy producing pathways and is also seen as life
extending qualities. In
a study of 123 Finnish adults, those born with certain increased variations
of the SIRT1 gene had faster metabolisms, helping them to burn energy more
efficiently—indicating that the same pathway shown in the lab mice works in
humans. Mice fed resveratrol for fifteen weeks had better treadmill endurance
than control mice. The study supported Sinclair's hypothesis that the effects
of resveratrol are indeed due to the activation of the Sirtuin 1 gene. The
sirtuin 1 gene basically increases the regulation by proteins against
stressors and helps increase cellular longevity. These sirtuin proteins are
usually produced by yeast, some of which can be found in red wines, however
tests with red wines show that there is not enough available in drinking of
red wine to be effective. Sirt1 genes lock onto the proteins in order to
work. In
mice, oral resveratrol also produced large reductions in brain plaque in the
hypothalamus (-90%), striatum (-89%), and medial cortex (-48%) sections of
the brain. In humans it is theorized that oral doses of resveratrol may
reduce beta amyloid plaque associated with aging changes in the brain. Researchers
theorize that one mechanism for plaque eradication is the ability of
resveratrol to chelate (remove) copper. Reservatrol
increases natural testosterone and helps protect the lungs from cigarette
smoke to a degree. Nicholas
Wade's interview-article with Dr. Auwerx states that the dose was
400 mg/kg of body weight (much higher than the 22 mg/kg of the
Sinclair study). For an 80 kg (176 lb) person, the 400 mg/kg of
body weight amount used in Auwerx's mouse study would come to 32,000 mg/day.
Compensating for the fact that humans have slower metabolic rates than mice
would change the equivalent human dose to roughly 4571 mg/day. Resveratrol
has been found to be natural in a number of different foods, and to some
degrees actually bioavailable now. (shift this up to the vitamins section if
resveratrol becomes quite common, and update foods with this in it). What is the Hayflick Limit?
The so-called "Hayflick
limit" is a finding by Dr. Hayflick, many years ago, that fibroblast
cells, in culture, will only have a finite number of doublings, after which
they stop dividing and become senescent. However, a fibroblast is a somatic
terminally differentiated cell which produces collagen. In contrast, all
tissues which make extensive use of fibroblasts, including skin, bone, etc.,
are also well well supplied with fibrocytes. The
term somatic (from the Greek
σωματικός) refers to cells of
the body, rather than gametes (eggs or sperm). In humans, somatic cells
contain two copies of each chromosome (diploid),
whereas gametes only contain one copy of each chromosome (haploid).
Although all somatic cells of an individual are genetically identical in
principle, they evolve a variety of tissue-specific characteristics during
the process of differentiation, through epigenetic
and regulatory alterations. Somatic is also defined as
relating to the wall of the body cavity, particularly as distinguished from
the head, limbs or viscera. It is also of or relating to the portion of the vertebrate
nervous
system which regulates voluntary movements. Medical Advancement: 1.
With major neurological diseases
such as ALS, Huntington’s disease (HD), Multiple Scleroris (MS), Parkinson’s
Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease – and even autism, the root cause is thought
to be mitochondrial dysfunction resulting from mtDNA damage and leading to
excess levels of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. Extra Notes:
-telomerase - increased amount can protect
cells and stop the 'caps' from being broken down slowly off of dna, however how
it works is very similar to how cancer forms. it is found in embryonic stem
cells, and only in the cells that need to divide in adults, unlike with
embryos they are creating everything and therefore found in all parts. -
where get from? how to increase it? According to Blackburn's opinion at most of
her lectures, it is a big mistake to think that telomerase is involved with
only extending telomeres. Stopping glycolysis in cancer stem cells and
preventing the upregulation of 70 bad genes is probably what is killing
cancer stem cells if they are using alternative methods. Basically, the telomerase items available
stop telomerase from actually being used by cancer cells, extend the
telomeres, and provide a type of immortality to various cells by keeping the
telomeres on DNA strands from shortening, however the telomeres are not the
clock for a person’s life.. The Aghoris distinguish
themselves from other Hindu sects and priests by their alcoholic and cannibalistic
rituals. The corpses, which may be either pulled from a river [including
Ganges] or obtained from cremation grounds, are consumed both raw and cooked on
open flame, as the Aghoris believe that what others consider a "dead
man" is, in fact, nothing but a natural matter devoid of the life force
it once contained. Therefore while for ordinary folks cannibalism may be seen
as primitive, barbaric as well as unclean, for aghori's it's being both
resourceful and subverting the common stereotypes placed on such taboos into
a spiritual ascertainment that indeed nothing is profane nor separate from
God, who is hailed to be all and in all. In fact, the Aghoris see it as a
scientific approach in trying to discover how matter converts from one form
to another Rhodiola
