Real patient experiences
70 years since Hiroshima Atomic Bomb detonated- is radiation good or bad?
The effects of high level exposure to ionizing radiation are devastating and well-documented. At a level of over 6 grays, the mortality approaches 100% from genetic damage to so many stem cells that you cannot recover.
What is interesting is that a lower level of radiation is actually healthy! This is known as the radiation hormesis phenomenon.
Are your naïve T-cells more like Martin Riggs or Roger Murtaugh?
Interestingly, Naive T-Cells can be further subdivided into “good cops” and “bad cops” as in Lethal Weapon. The good ones, present in younger, healthier individuals, are naive and ready to go, like Bat-guano crazy Mel Gibson’s Martin Riggs character. The bad ones are like Danny Glover’s character, Roger Murtaugh, hiking up their pants and counting the days to retirement while muttering “I’m too old for this $h!t”
Preview of talk on “Telomeres: The Ultimate Biomarker”
In this Carl Sagan-esque video I explain my Telomere/Stem Cell Theory of Aging and Disease and explain why we are all destined to get all cancers and yet this is entirely preventable.
UC Berkeley scientists find a cure for aging!! But trigger a zombie apocalypse in the process…
“The only thing that makes sense is change” – Dr. Ed Park
Chaos, crisis, and the putting the Trojan Horse of science news behind the cart of meaning
Hopkins’ study validates “my” Stem Cell Theory of Aging
Truly, the best argument against my Stem Cell Theory of Aging (since every Axiom in it is completely standard scientific orthodoxy) is that “it couldn’t be that simple because the best efforts of scientists have been looking elsewhere.”
