Scientists Find Way to Calculate Your Physical Age

Determining chronological is easy -- count forward from birth. But determining physiological age has remains subjective, based on how someone looks or functions.

Researchers studying genes believe they can now detect your exact "physical age" by looking at a number of clues in your DNA. They believe that the tests will be the first time doctors can accurately predict someone's physiological age objectively, without resorting to asking them how they feel or looking at their appearance.

This could solve the mystery of why some 70-year-olds function at the level of those in their 50’s, while others become frail sooner than would be expected.

The researchers made the breakthrough by isolating the "biomarkers" of aging in tiny worms which behave similarly to humans.

Yesterday I was viewed in a highly suspect way as to my age requirement to buy some wine for thanks giving.  The clerk way under estimated my age. I will stick with that then the DNA testing of my age.   ha ha ha.

wow! this came thru recently...if true,  telomeres like to dance to a certain rhythm...cannot find the original email...but in it Shealy indicated he is not selling "rejuvamatrix" this juncture, but he IS accepting participants for the next, much larger study (so, contact his outfit if interested). apparently all that is entailed is reclining or sitting on a mat that generates the frequency for a period each day.....

BeeGirl:  Is that a rejuvenated telomere in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? lol..................

b)

These same frequencies are reported to be present in ambient sunlight at an intensity of ten-billionths of a watt per centimeter square.. Human DNA has been reported by Ukrainian physicists as resonating at 54 to 78 GHz. After 3 months of this electromagnetically generated solar homeopathic approach, average telomere length had increased 1%. After 10 months of use of the device, average telomere length had increased 2.9%. This ""reverses" 2.9 years of telomere aging in 10 months---or 3.5 percent within a year, instead of the usual loss of 1% each year! Using this approach, a 75 year old would theoretically reverse telomere aging by 50 years within a 14 year period. I gave my first report
on this work at the Anti-Aging Congress on December 14. 

The RejuvaMatrix is not for commercial sale. Those interested may enroll in our ongoing research project, obtaining the mat at cost, as long as they agree to have their telomeres measured initially and at each year through 5, providing me the results.

a)
I saved the referenced email to a word doc. Some snips:

My original anti-aging work focused upon applying human DNA frequencies to specific acupuncture circuits which selectively raise DHEA, neurotensin, aldosterone, or calcitonin or decrease free radicals, all important aspects of health and potentially longevity. More recently I have turned my attention to telomere rejuvenation. Telomeres are the tail of DNA and are critically important in cell duplication, as well as in health.


Telomeres ordinarily shrink by 1% annually, from birth to death. Those with unhealthy habits have much faster shrinkage, and those with the best habits and genes live a bit past 100 years. Ultimately, telomere length and health are major determinants of health and longevity.

In a pilot study, telomeres in 6 individuals, 3 men and 3 women from 50 to 74 years of age, were measured initially in lymphocytes and neutrophils. Each participant then spent 30 minutes at least 5 days each week sitting or lying in the RejuvaMatrix ™ providing an electromagnetic field of 54 to 78 GHz, at 50 to 78 decibels, or 1 billionth of a watt per centimeter square.

Phantom O`Banjo. I had a similar experience many years ago when cruising in the Baltic from Stockholm to Finland .I was 26 years old then and got refused bying taxfree beverage (limit 18y). My wife,then 22y had to save me. I still look about 10 y. younger today,they say.(73) Maybe they are kidding. Funny as well.

The length of your telomeres is what they use nowadays to calculate your age biological/physical....And they found a way to regrow the telomeres....Testing is quite pricey, right now $2500.

...tortoises live longer than horses...but who wants to win by default (outside of those artificial everybody-gets-a-trophy environments, like kindergarten, etc...)...

...plus, who wants to ride a tortoise...? lol......
