Aging and Longevity Take Work

 

“There is no letting up, life is constant maintenance. I think once we understand this simple law, things begin to fall in place.”

 

As children, we look forward to our birthdays but there comes a certain age when they are no longer anticipated partly because aging is associated with the negative effects of growing old: lack of energy, graying hair (if lucky enough to have hair), facial wrinkles, menopause, weight gain and flaccid muscle tissue, prostate issues and forgetfulness. These conditions are connected with premature aging or aging at an advanced rate, but what if these conditions could be greatly lessened and not be so horrendous and worrisome? Wouldn’t that take the edge off if we could slow down the aging process?

Aging is part of life and as each calendar year passes it should be seen as an added blessing, especially if healthy and vibrant. However disease has risen out of control, and the thought of healthy aging today seems to be a luxury, especially when most families have someone struggling with chronic disease. My father in-law used to say, “If you are over 40 and nothing is in pain you better check to see if you are still alive.” As one who is not a fan of pain there is a better way.

We need to acknowledge that avoiding disease takes education especially when we see alarming statistics and disease predictions. A good example is Parkinson’s disease: a “modeling study published in BMJ[1] predicted that by 2050, global Parkinson’s cases could hit 25 million.” The reasoning behind this number is not genetics alone rather “environmental factors or a combination of environmental exposure and genetic susceptibility.” This means that chemicals present in our food, water and air are the ones which created this largely man-made disease. Other studies have already identified specific environmental chemicals—including paraquat (herbicide), rotenone (used to kill fish) or trichloroethylene (used in dry cleaning) that may play a role in Parkinson’s development.

Another contributor to healthy aging is activity: those that retire and do not stay active and fit die earlier than those that get up and work. There are many various reasons for this, but retirement should not mean avoiding activity and usefulness. What we usually see is that when people retire, they look for a bungalow home without stairs. However, as a systematic review and meta-analysis shows “[p]hysical activity in the form of stair climbing is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality.”[2] Is it possible that the things we plan to avoid are the things that keep us alive?

I begin each day by working out. Many days I simply do not want to but on those days, I push myself even harder and after the workout I feel much better. Working out or maintaining movement is like lubrication. When you eat the right food and take the right supplements it does grease the joints as the muscles get used and circulation improves.

Another factor of premature aging is the decline of thymic hormones. The thymus produces T-lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell responsible for “cell-mediated immunity.” This term refers to immune mechanisms not controlled or mediated by antibodies. Cell-mediated immunity is extremely important in resisting infection by mold-like bacteria: yeast, fungi, parasites, viruses, toxins and allergens. The function of the thymus gland is to program white blood cells, the body’s immune army, in their various tasks and then send them into the blood to recognize and destroy pathogens.

T-cells come in 2 types: killer T-cells and helper T-cells. Killer T-cells detect germs or cancerous growths and destroy them. The helper T-cells creates an immune response in the body, activating other immune cells and stimulating antibody production. The thymus “instructs” T-cells what to attack and when. Without the thymus instructions, the T-cells may fail to attack enemies like bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells, or they may even mistake some of your own cells for an invading enemy and attack you—this is known as autoimmune disease (e.g. multiple sclerosis, cancer, atherosclerosis, adult-onset diabetes, and rheumatic diseases such as arthritis).

The mystery of our thymus is that it begins its own decline when it is most needed, and while many organs are still developing. Once hitting puberty, the age-related thymic involution is characterized by a progressive regression in thymus size, and immunological changes occur while immune resistance becomes weaker: 15% remain by the age 50. The question is: if the thymus gland were to be supported, could it also preserve and or restore our immunity?

New research[3] found that people with healthier-looking thymuses had approximately 50% lower risk of premature death, 63% lower risk of cardiovascular death, and 36% lower risk of developing lung cancer than those with poorer thymic health. In a separate analysis[4] of cancer patients receiving immunotherapy, better thymic health was associated with a 37% lower risk of cancer progression and a 44% lower risk of death. Smoking, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and chronic inflammation were linked to poorer thymic health, suggesting that these factors may be associated with declining immune resilience.

We have a similar situation with human growth hormone (HGH). Once born, we begin to grow and for growth to happen we need adequate HGH, which is produced by the anterior pituitary gland. By the time we reach our 30th year, HGH levels are only at about 20% of their peak levels during childhood, and after the age of 30, they continue to decline at about 12% to 15% per decade.

The decline in HGH is not the only cause of the manifestations of aging. Even if our HGH levels remained at the level of a 25-year-old, we would continue to experience the effects of aging, but those effects would be greatly reduced until we reached a very advanced age. HGH does not affect the root cause of aging, as measured by maximum lifespan, but it can certainly affect many of the manifestations of aging which—by increasing the levels of HGH in our bodies—we can slow or even reverse.

Life Choice Anti-Aging Protocol:

  • HgH+: endocrine balance and growth hormone production in precise amounts, necessary for complete hormone balancing. This formula offers a way to enhance immune response, increase lean body mass, stimulate neuro-endocrine system balance, and achieve optimal physical and mental performance. Its homeopathic preparation achieves these benefits by encouraging the body to produce more of the hormone on its own, “reminding” it of its proper function at the sub-molecular level.  HgH+ is designed not to replace one’s own endocrine glands or to cause dependency, but to support the glands’ own production.
  • Melapure Melatonin: 1 mg taken before bed on an empty stomach—this is the exact amount needed for anti-aging results.
  • Thymus Gland: two capsules three times per day with food.
  • Regenerate Cream: apply to entire face and neck avoiding contact with eyes.

 

We need to understand that extending healthy lifespan requires addressing the biological processes of aging, rather than treating individual diseases only after they develop, which naturally means that medication does not work as a cure. In the meantime, there is no letting up, life is constant maintenance. I think once we understand this simple law, things begin to fall in place.
