Drug cocktail could extend your life, killing cells related to aging

Dr. James Kirkland, Mayo Clinic's Center on Aging director, joins 'Squawk Box' to discuss his new drug, research involving senolytic cells and how they combat age-related diseases.

It would have been nice to heard everything the doctor had to say about the issue instead of being talked over

[@lisalyons4462]

For real.

[@farshm.7400]

This research deserves much more attention and support.

[@Krath1988]

Fisetin. For those who wanted to know.

[@Yourmomanddadrbrotherandsister]

@@r0cketplumber It's about a 1000mg of fisetin and 2500 to 3000 of Quercetin for the average adult male everyday for a week. Then nothing more of it for approximately 4 to 6 months.

[@Yourmomanddadrbrotherandsister]

@Robert Puffer I remember reading 500mg for 130 pound lady. Also remember the bioavailability is low (the amount that enters the bloodstream and isn't destroyed by the gut). Average man 180 220 pounds, 1000 mg.

Good lord this interviewer is terrible. Why does he keep asking new questions while the Dr. is still answering the last one?!

Put more money behind this!

Go to lifespan.io they crowd fund rsearch to stop aging Also google Aubrey de Grey and SENS foundation. They need help

[@UHFStation1]

I hope its benefits or at least lack of harm is known pretty darn soon. I am 38 and already developing heart issues. Nothing good happened after 35. Some of which are likely not reversible, but had this reverse aging technology been developed a long time ago and one could clear all senescent and zombie cells and proceed to increase NAD+ than I suspect I would have the life now that I can tolerate.

[@johnniejay]

Very sorry to read this, but its worth noting that you almost certainly didn't develop these issues as a direct result of aging at 35 years old. Up until the age of around 45-50, the effects of aging on the overall detoriation of your health are broadly negligible. Furthermore, the fact that biotech is an expotential technology should be cause for excitement in someone your age, not pessimism. Virtually every leading figure in the field is in agreement that this will play out in a major (read: society changing) way over the next decade or two - I for one believe that to be realistic, if not a little conservative if anything. You may well be a part of the first generation in human history who look and feel 30 when you're 120, and better still reach a state of LEV. Hang in there.

@@johnniejay yes but wouldn't it be much better to start in your 20s than late 30s

[@johnniejay]

@@lastraven7205 Most of the scientists say no, it wouldnt. Aubrey De Grey himself (and hes not alone in this view, its virtually a concensus in fact) has suggested that all of the first wave of therapies would be of negligable benefit to anyone in middle age or younger. Remember, this is about reversing the diseases that manifest as a result of aging - how can you do that if there are no signs of senescence etc.? Prevention may well be better than cure in the long term, but that will only be of benefit once aging is initially brought under control / slowed down. Obviously by the same token these therapies will be of equally of little benefit if you start using them in your 80s and 90s, but that isnt my suggestion anyway.

When it will be available for human use

[@surfreadjumpsleep]

We must move on to our much more important guest: Longfin.

[@Richard32176]

The reason it says 'could'!?

[@taylorleecc4833]

Pretty cool

[@davidg.johnson7574]

Clinical trials to make a drug that will only be avaiable to a few people that has a certain disease. Aging is not yet considered a disease yet so will not be available to everyone.

[@Viv8ldi]

So what supplements are they talking about? Is one of them Quercetine?

[@lastraven7205]

yes, and dasatinib
