Scientest seeks Eternal Youth, takes 250 supplements each day

It would be ironic if he choaked to death on one of his pills.

i agree its further than 30 years. theyve just started on the proteome, and thats going to be a bitch of a thing to work out

30 years, sure i can see gene therapy, some cloning and replacement of organs...that sort of thing

but nanobots? i dont think so...ive always been interested in those, and as milo said above, progress in that field is torturous - nanotech is embryonic in its current state compared to what this guy is on about

right but his argument rests upon paradigm shifts and how they seem to operate on an exponential curve, right? progress gets faster and faster it seems.
30 years is a long time. longer than we've been alive and then some

There is already a good proven way to extending the aging process and living long:

Taking good care of your body.

Whatever you do at age 50, won't mean shit to the 40+ years of taking horrible care of it.

Uhh I hate to break the news to you guys.. there is only ONE way to significantly increase life span..

its called starving. Its the ONLY thing that all the longest lived communities have ever been proven to have in common.. an EXTREMELY low calorie diet.

all those pills and supplements.. LOL garbage.

Want to live longer.. dotn eat much for the rest of your life... and let genetics do the rest.

Id rather eat, fuck, suck, drink and be merry for 70 years than live like a god damn starving recluse so I can get an extra 30 or 40 years (crappy years at that)

yeah that was in that article too

so you take no supplements or vitamins?

I take a daily multivitamin since I dont eat enough fruits and vegetables. Mainyl because of HRT and my bodies increased protein synthesis and faster use of any biological metabolites.

It isnt because I think it will make me live longer or give me some sort of super healthy body.

I have no illusions about the possible effects of my lifestyle.. I simply try to maintain "quality" of life not quantity..

No pill is going to make you live longer until they can develop an effective gene therapy..

And there are potentially hundreds of genes all over the map which control aging.. good luck on that one.
