My mother made me do the same and also eat yogurt, something little-known in the 1930s in Detroit. and my grandmother would always say “sunshine is good for you.”

With regard to your remark "It seems to me that our pharmaceutical and equipment companies benefit enormously from the status quo, and would want to invest only in what is patentable and profitable." I quite agree with you. Have you seen my blog entry Getting the world ready for radical life extension at http://anti-agingfirewalls.com/2010/02/15/getting-the-world-ready-for-radical-life-extension/ ? With regards to BHRT, have you seen the section in my treatise on Decline of hormone levels and aging. At http://www.vincegiuliano.name/Antiagingfirewalls.htm#DeclineinHormoneLevelstheory. Also you might want to have a look at the supplements I suggest in the Decline in Hormone Levels Firewall at http://www.vincegiuliano.name/Antiagingfirewalls.htm#Declineinhormonelevelfirewall Vince Lifestyle Fran:

I want to be first on the list for clinical trials with mesenchymal cells, and if it works, I'll go to med school for a second career! It seems to me that our pharmaceutical and equipment companies benefit enormously from the status quo, and would want to invest only in what is patentable and profitable. I finally found info on PRP and then this, the most valuable info so far. Also found that a doctor Dunn in Miami injects HGH (or GF-1?)into the knee cartilage and apparently regrows it (animal trials only). Please, if anyone hears of mesenchymal stem cell trials in Texas or maybe anywhere, could you post about it? Also I believe this should be ited to endocrinology, as imbalances of estrogen etc result in severe joint damage/"menopausal arthritis. I wonder why balancing with BHRT is not a standard part of treatment or prevention. Thanks so much for publishing this.

At least I like to think that I am master in creating my own reality and that has worked well for some 40 years now.

Personally, at 80 now I am looking forward to entering middle age for the second time when I get to be around 145. Living healthily and productively to about 245 years has been a context for my life for 16 years now and this context informs everything I do. Among other things, the context has supported me to delve deeply into anti-aging science as a new full-time career about two years ago. Welcome as a contributor to this blog!

What I am saying is that after each of us gets his or her genome completely sequenced and all gene variations cataloged, that will not be enough to characterize our states for protection against or cure of all diseases. We will also have to get our epigenomic markers cataloged - DNA methylation and histone acetylation profiles to start with, and that is an immense and tissue-specific job. Moreover,these epigenetic markers change with time. So, as we move forward we will get more and more "magical" cures. In fact, we already have a lot of such cures from the viewpoint of a century ago. But it will be a long long time before we can aim a tricoder and cure almost anything. Like you, I am optimistic that we can and willkeep going. Vince Matthew,

Breakthrough the cultural mindset that defines who you must be and do at various ages throughout your life. Middle age should not begin until after 60 years of age is one prime example. The Hayflick Limit defines human lifespan as 120 years. Why do so few of us reach that golden age? I believe that what we think is also a critical element to consider in the longevity equation. Make an effort to think and behave as if you will live for 120 years or more. What changes would you make right now and over time? Be well and live long.
