Life Extensionists are people who believe in taking advantage of documented scientific therapies to prevent diseases and slow aging. The medical literature contains thousands of papers on the use of antioxidant supplements, hormone therapies and medications that have been shown to improve the quality and quantity of life. Life Extensionists attempt to use this scientific information to improve their chances of living longer in good health. |

To many people, the invention of the control of ageing will seem like science fiction; and, of course, it still is - presently. However, virtually all of the basic science is in place, and some meaningful life-extension can currently be achieved with procedures that are fairly straight-forward. For solving the basic problem of biological ageing, there are only a hand full of strategic options (we believe the development of "eumitogenic" agents is the most direct, but we monitor the developments in the various other fields). There is a growing awareness of the potential within the scientific community; and a land-mark study was recently reported in which brain structures of old primates were re-grown. Human trials are scheduled, and it will be known by the end of this year (2000) if the procedure works on humans. |

And the technology that will allow us to do it is being developed. Rapidly. |

So What's Next? By the end of 1999 there will be two more major breakthroughs in the war on cancer; "Discodermolide" found in a sponge extract, will be produced by a Swiss company and "gene coding" will be introduced as a cure for cancer and possible proof that the cure for all diseases will be found in the genes. Genetic engineering will introduce new breakthroughs and a new era. |
