More Anti-aging News

[nameless]

There is a lot of new information coming out about anti-aging science. Here is another new technology to "treat" the entire aging process:

https://www.rt.com/news/348242-anti-aging-drug-human/

I don't know if this will prove beneficial in humans or not but this one specific technology is not why I posted the link to this article. I mostly wanted to point out that the article says the Japanese government is starting to invest in anti-aging science.

The Japanese government is not some silly fly-by-night organization. Japan is a highly developed and advanced nation. If the Japanese government is taking anti-aging science seriously then we all should. And as I have already posted, this year the US government is sponsoring its' first clinical trials for anti-aging treatments. This means that both the Japanese government and the US government are taking anti-aging science seriously.

I firmly believe that they will soon cure the entire aging process and that cure (for the entire aging process) will also cure hair loss since a person has to age in order for hair to be lost. If science can turn the entire human clock back to a time before your hair loss started then it stands to reason that you would get your hair back.

Less than 5 years boys and girls.
Mark my words.

Where have I already heard this?

Ra's Al-Ghul has access to a swimming pool which reverses the ageing process and can even revive the dead.

Naymo when we reverse ageing I can't wait to go out on the town with you and slay some hotties!

Posting on anti aging is totally irrevelent.
Why are you wasting time.

Please!!!!!!

People do not start losing hair when they are first born.

Hair loss happens as people age.

If you reverse aging that might reverse hair loss.

When scientists reverse aging in mice that restores youthfulness and fullness to the hair of the mice.

I don't know.

Certainly not from me.

The article I posted is a new article and while I've read about different experimental technologies to treat the aging process, this is the first I've heard about this specific technology to treat aging.

Yea, and of course that sounds as promising as the anti-aging science being worked on by real scientists.

Give me a break!

I started losing my hair aggressively at the age of 16.

I wasn't even fully developed yet.

Baldness and ageing are completely unrelated.

There is evidence that you are wrong.

Key quote: "The shrunken brains increased, new neurons were formed, the coat hair was restored to a new sheen."

We should wait for more evidence to draw a conclusion.

The best anti aging thing is hitting the gym or working out - get the blood going and flush the skin. Sweat out the toxins and over time you defy time, I'm almost 40 but people mistaken me for late 20's. It's a nice compliment but don't really care for it, I do it cause I like it and have nothing else to do. Exercise is medicine and cosmetic cream.

You just have good genes.

I take after my dad, and he does not look good for his age and is reaching caldasac baldness using a comb over. He was born in Eastern Europe where the exercise thing was just not something people did. I also have his hair type - kinda a fine wavey/curly hair like Tom hanks in his younger years. Although my hair isn't like I had when I was a teenager, for almost 40 I think I'm winning.

And I thought it was because of DHT. My bad.

Yes, but DHT doesn't take a bunch of your hair the very first moment DHT meets your hair. It takes time from when your hair first meets DHT for the DHT to take a significant chunk of your hair. And during this time (from when DHT and your hair first meet to the time DHT starts taking your hair) you AGE some. In this sense, hair loss IS part of the aging process.

Today it is. The gym, eating right, sleep.

But within 5 years there will be pills and/or injections that will control aging and they will do it better than the gym, eating right, and sleeping.

5 years is extremely optimistic. I haven't seen anything that is that close to be ready for commercialization. Especially for something that will give better results than exercise, nutrition, and sleep.

Anti-Aging Potentials of Methylene Blue for Human Skin Longevity

Altogether, our study suggests that MB has a great potential for skin care.

 

[karankaran]

I am not too optimistic on the timeline of 5 years because a lot of times, promising medical technologies run into trouble due to unforeseen side effects and yet to be made discoveries.

Case in point
https://www.sciencealert.com/turns-...ng-can-cause-hundreds-of-unexpected-mutations

PGD2 discovery in 2012 was considered a sure short cure for baldness. 5 years later, we have learned that it is not as simple as it was initially thought.

This is not to dismiss the pioneering work of scientists but simply an exercise in caution. I am really excited about anti-aging discoveries though.

Ah sweet just realised the age of this thread, now it's only 4 years until I can start becoming a fetus again.
