Can We Stop Getting Old?
By admin on Jul 3, 2008 in Main
Will it be possible to live to be 150?
Can the aging process really be slowed down?
Can your body regenerate itself producing a third generation of teeth as you need them?
What about your heart? Is it just science fiction that it will be able to heal itself?
Dr. Patrick Dixon, author of Futurewise Science of Ageing thinks not only are these scenarios possible but are closer to becoming medical breakthroughs within the next few decades.
Embroyonic cell research is dead. It’s old stuff. The debate is over. Regenerating cells will come from your own body.
He also points out our brains have the capacity to regenerate themselves as also our hearts. Spinals cords in rats are already being healed in research and Dr. Dixon sees tremendous advancements being made there that will effect humans.
But one of the things that really struck me from his video presentation is the fact that sturgeon fish don’t age. They don’t get old.
Turtles don’t age either. A certain type of humpback whale doesn’t experience old age and those whales are being discovered which are hundreds of years old.
How do we know?
They have harpoons embedded in them from past attacks by whalers from several hundred years ago.
Dr. Dixon believes this humpback whale study will produce the next Nobel Prize winner because this information is so cutting edge.
