Real patient experiences
Telomerase doesn’t cause cancer
If you are interested in understanding what does cause cancer, watch the first 15 minutes of this PODCAST 12: “Telomerase Doesn’t Cause Cancer”. I believe that telomerase is a retained feature of stemness and that cancer arises usually in stem cells, not telomerase-inactive differentiated cells.
Am I more credibile than Oprah & DrOz?
I had an typical call from a patient today that went something like this:
J.A. – “I”ve reviewed all the experts from Dr. Dave, Mike Fossel, and Aubrey DeGrey and it seems you have the clearest, simplest theory. So why don’t people believe it?”
Me- “Well most people don’t trust their ability to assess these things so they go with authorities, like Oprah and Dr. Oz”
TA-65 repairs telomeres without increasing cancer incidence in mice
For those wanting a more in-depth understanding of how TA-65 might work, I refer to you an email conversation I had with a patient, who was concerned that a blog referenced a Blasco paper demonstrating a 50% increase in liver cancer in mice after taking TA-65.
Telomeres extended by simple trick at Stanford lab
For #ScienceSunday, we turn to a recent article published online showing that a modified mRNA version of the telomerase protein (TERT) can extend the telomeres in a dose-dependent fashion. This method has the advantage of not being permanent, as with gene therapy.
