At that time , they were already starting to worry about the problems of over population and in particular the problems with our social welfare systems of Social Security and Medicare. In 1991 Saul Kent and Bill Faloon, the principals of the Life Extension Foundation had products confiscated and were incarcerated.

Science-Based Medicine » Testosterone: Not an Anti-Aging Panacea

Longevity clinics and individual practitioners are offering testosterone to men as a general pick-me-up and anti-aging treatment. Their practice is not supported by the scientific evidence. Men’s testosterone levels drop as they age. According to a review article in the New England Journal of Medicine the decrease in testosterone in men occurs moderately and gradually over a period of several decades. The serum total testosterone concentration decreases from a mean of about 600 ng per deciliter (20.8 nmol per liter) at 30 years of age to a mean of about 400 ng per deciliter (13.9 nmol per [more...]

Colorado Springs Business Journal » Blog Archive » Natural gas ...

The emergency plans for companies operating natural gas pipelines like the one that exploded in San Bruno, Calif., killing eight people and destroying a neighborhood, are effectively off-limits to the public and industry watchdogs because the federal pipeline safety agency itself doesn’t have copies. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration policy means companies can keep their emergency plans hidden from people who might live near natural gas transmission lines. Because the government doesn’t have copies of the plans, the public can’t use the nation’s open records [more...]

The researchers entered into the study 191 patients who had arrived at the emergency department (ED) within 3h of stroke symptom onset. All [more...]

So, it must be doing something with the aging itself,” Maksim Skulachev Cand. Sc. (Biology) explains. “Then, if authorities will accept this logic, maybe we could somehow market it as anti-aging drug.” After success with eye drops in animals, the inventor tried the medicine on his own cataract. Six months later, his physician told him his cataract was gone. Thousands are queuing to take part in the clinical trials, which have just begun. But it will be a few years before Dr Skulachev's discovery reaches the shelves of an average pharmacy. Some have already dubbed the drug a [more...]
