  In Todays Express,

  "Scientists have made a breakthrough in the hunt for an anti-ageing pill...The discovery was reported by a team testing a drug for cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anaemia.They noted that when given to fruit flies it increased their lifespan by 50 per cent.
  The 4-phenylbutyrate drug(PBA)...Blocks the activity of enzymes involved in switching genes on and off and switches on one anti-ageing protein enzyme.
  It appears to have few side effects for humans raising the prospect of finding the elixir of life."

  This may turn out to be another dead end but wondn't it be amazing if ageing or death could be tamed in our life times , who knows we could still be here in another 100 years.

  If *I* had to be conscious on this dirtball for another 100 years, I would be thoroughly depressed.

  Read up on N-tert-butyl hydroxylamine. It is an industrial
  chemical used in soap and photography. It can delay senescence
  in all sorts of cells. It extends lifespan in mice thru action
  in the mitochondria.

  go to the forum on the www.lef.org site and read more about it.

  I've said it before, anti aging treatments are rushing upon
  us, whether the Watchtower likes it or not.
