There's a Fly in My Aging Research

How do you unlock the mysteries of aging? A primer on the use of animals to study aging.

I have a lot of videos that get into the nitty gritty of modulating aging pathways. For example, check out:

Thanks for watching. I hope you’ll join in the evidence-based nutrition revolution!

Right now, millions of mice, rats, rabbits, primates, cats, dogs, and other animals are locked inside cages in laboratories across the country. They languish in pain, ache with loneliness, and are deprived of everything that’s natural and important to them. After enduring lives of pain, loneliness, and terror, almost all of them will be killed.Most experiments on animals are not relevant to human health, they do not contribute meaningfully to medical advances, and many are undertaken simply out of curiosity and do not even pretend to hold promise for curing illnesses. The only reason people are under the misconception that these experiments help humans is because the media, experimenters, universities, and lobbying groups exaggerate the potential they have to lead to new cures and the role they’ve played in past medical advance

Can you do a blood donors playlist. And the first video to be "How to maximize hemoglobin synthesis in only two months?", please!

Thank you for everything you do!

Going to cover the different hallmarks of aging and the proposed generic solutions for each, especially as Aubrey de Grey outlines? Or partial cell reprogramming?

Did I miss the common gene or chemical that run through all stated animals/insects that can potentially lead to longevity?

[tallwaters]

I don't get the connection between the title and video, seems like a mistake or just misleading

[manubhatt]

I am still wondering about the relevance of this video.

Too much fixation on age is a bad idea. One should not be afraid of death, it still is natural to die. But one should be afraid of bad health and illnesses. Bad health give a low quality of life. The thing is to have a good life quality while you are alive. If it’s 50 years or 100 years is not relevant if you are in pain and visiting doctors giving your hard earned money to big pharma for 50 years. Life quality is not eating tasty foods and dinking alcohol or at least shouldn’t be. It being outdoors in nature alone or together with people who are your friends.

Blah blah blah. If you do not slow the loss of fast motor units, I don't care what diet you eat, what supplement you take, what longevity book you read, what medication you take, etc., you're not going anywhere. With all due respect to this doctor here, he is absolutely too late to save his motor units since once you lose them they are gone forever, the stuff you wrote in your book is meaningless.

NO MOTOR UNITS----you age like an ordinary person---frail, on meds, and with the function of an old man. Meanwhile, this doctor has absolutely no idea what fast motor units are . KEEP ON LISTENING TO THIS BALDERDASH. Simply unbelievable at the complete ignorance of most longevity experts!!!!

QUESTION 1 - Please can you discuss C15:0 . . . is this beneficial for increased healthspan in humans (appears to help with dolphins) -- MANY THANKS
C:15 is available in certain types of cheese (15gm / day) -- experimenting on myself to see if it makes any difference.
QUESTION 2 - Is there an easy, quick, cheap way to determin whether aging has been reduced?
For instance - walking up a local hill briskly to see how far I get before struggling - using this as an approximate fitness indication !

This guy should have become a politician as he is an expert at talking shi @..

Half a billion years ago? LOL Biblically, life on earth dates back only 6, 000 years!

There is a differing opinion on the origins of have hard time accepting that we evolved from mice over 75 million years but I suppose, my disbelief in that idea is met with a similar disbelief that most life was created individually, but based pretty on the same genetic script and sure, there is some natural selection that goes on over time, but nothing to the extent in which an entirely new species evolves from idea we also come from apes is laughable yet again because of the complexity of our voice box compared to their's the moral dilemma of using animals to experiment on is troubling at times, but what we learn from it can be for the greater sadly for the greater evil as well. My daughter kills hundreds of mice in the name of ovarian cancer immunotherapy one day they will develop a cure and no longer need to kills so many in mind, these mice are specially bred for these experiments and really have no sense of ever being a wild animal

Vegan aged this doctor faster than normal. The poor eyesight, brittle bones, no muscles are due to lack of nutrients.

We become 120 years at max because Yahweh said so. Humans can't make our own vitamin C anymore, which is rare in the animal kingdom.
