It's crazy to see that reverse aging is actually somewhat easier and earlier to accomplish than curing cancer and other diseases.

[@Beardsandbars]

Follow the money......there's no profit in a cure for cancer. There is profit in 'anti-aging' technology.

[@riftsplitter2159]

I have said this before, they dont want to cure cancer. Trillions get invested to cancer research each year and still zero progress they are making too much money from it insurance companies and hospitals and those faceless men that own the hospitals and insurance companies are making so much money it isn't even funny. Also even if they did release a cure none of us can afford it because big companies will ensure they can keep milking their cash cow which is us.

[@Nobody-Nowhere]

Its a circulatory disease, your brain no longer gets nutrition and oxygen. Your brain is full of tiny blood vessels, if your arteries can clog up... those tiny blood vessels glog up first. That's why old men need blue pills, that's the first sign. Circulatory system is the most important organ. But ask people to not eat meat and eat more vegetables, they will come up with insane excuses and conspiracies.

And if this takes a while, Neuralink has already induced very basic vision in primates. They demoed it yesterday on stream in an annual update. The technology will even work for those who have been blind since birth. The tech will improve quickly and dramatically, so until the point this restoration technology is perfected, she might be able to have some 32,000 pixels of light (not colors yet), and continuously more in updates and upgrades. They're planning on having the first human trial in six months, but I think the more realistic timetable is around a year from now then a while longer before public release. There's always inevitable delays. In one way or another, your daughter will have a seeing future thanks to science and technology 🥰

I can't believe people are saying this you can treat your skin in so many ways,like having a good skin care routine that involves retinols that helps for fine lines and wrinkles,hyaluronic acid which is for plumpness,ceramides are for skin barrier to protect it,antioxidants help to protect skin from aging because it fights radicals, don't forget spf the sun also diet accelerate aging and causes collagen loss which is the cause of sagging and loss of firmness, so collagen+glycerin products or supplements are helpful you can also try fractual lazer different chemicals peels, especially phenol peels which is a very powerful peel but it's for heavily aged skin, it can go so deep as to affect the heart but there are other chemical peels for skin as well,can't believe people just sit and complain about wrinkles when so many things can be done humans are weird I forgot to mention there are many electro current devices you can use

Imagine the joy of spending each day free of pain and stress, and truly being productive again. Reversing the aging process would seem like a gift from heaven to millions, if not billions, of people who are suffering. A chance to live again in peace, optimism and joy. From the raw elements of the Earth we've fashioned sophisticated computers we can carry in our pockets and access all the world's knowledge... that feels absurdly miraculous in itself. Some say we're entering the long-prophecised Golden Age. So let's make it golden and get this done already, we can do anything we set our mind and hearts to, for and with the love of God and goodness 🙏

It’s just supposed to repair your DNA. You’re not gonna get shorter and form into a child, lol.

[@the_lordofthedings]

@@bonkgameing Virtually all effects of aging are caused by damage to the DNA or the growing inability to read it correctly, as is said in the video. If you reverse that process. the body is obviously going to rejuvenate through regeneration, meaning: It will change. I don't know to which extent that will be possible ofc.

[@ChrisBear1989]

@@the_lordofthedings Being able to stay around 20s is pretty cool.

[@Falkenhorst2000]

@@ChrisBear1989 According to some other articles, that is probably exactly what will happen. For reasons they haven't figured out yet, there seems to be a hard limit as to how far you can rejuvenate with this method. Don't know if that limit will be in the 20s for humans, but considering that that's where growth ends and real ageing kicks in, that seems likely.

[@greenlitlleman]

@@Falkenhorst2000 You aren't "aging" until your twenties, you GROW.

[@mstr293]

I already figured it out. It's not just one treatment, but a combination of them plus the basic healthy diet, sleep, exercise and supplements. You should start as early as your 20's-30's but the real spicy parts is once you reach your 50's. I'm recommending advocates to start saving at least $225K before/during your 50's.

Hope my dad has 10-15 years left he’s 56 has glaucoma and suffered a tumor years ago that did that to him. I hope he has hope left. Prayers for everyone n Thankyou lord for science.

Man, it's not if it'll happen, but when it'll start happening.

[@AbWischBar]

I don’t think we should live forever but if it can counter loss of eyesight and dementia this would allow everybody to age with dignity. And I would welcome that. It probably could also be the key to understand some of the diseases that hit young people dye to DNA and/or cell failure.

[@HogbergPhotography]

Probably you cannot have one or the other, they are intertwined.

[@Leon-th6nl]

reversing your age doesn't guarantee you'll live forever

[@over2seeyer]

You won't live forever, just not get old, you'd still die of accident or desease

[@mambodiehard]

I loved how simple the explanation was.

This is amazing! My father is interested in participating as a human trial. He lost his vision 30 years ago due to a car accident. His optic nerve was severed.

[@NotoriousMastaG]

Nice try hun. 🤣

[@jasonruetz2306]

I'm 50: Can we speed this up a couple notches?

[@iowndvc]

Sounds awesome, yet a little creepy. I know we all age, and eventually pass away. I'm the last surviving member of my genetic line. I'm fine with that. But if they can keep us from being in pain, and relatively healthy and active so we just drop dead at some point, even that would be an improvement over the way many people linger along in pain, not being able to care fror themselves or do much of anything.

[@WeylandLabs]

We all are the last surviving members of our genetic line unless we have a twin. When we have children a portion of your DNA genome binds to form an embryo on a cellar level. Every human on earth is unique but twins share the same genome. But sounds like your in pain - and I'm sorry ! I hope your day or life gets better 👍

[@truehappiness4U]

You can’t be healthy and then drop dead. That would mean you’ll have to commit suicide(euthanasia) some day, but that’s illegal

0:41 "How do we get the scratches off?" "We get the scratches off" Truly groundbreaking answer right there

Lol amazing

[@raybandzg]

I mean they cut him off before he can give his full answer but from what I understand, they can restore cells from turning on certain genes

[@soyal6185]

Spending own lives to reduce aging of future generations You will be a chapter in history of humanity

[@MaryHarper-x6r]

Its not a glorious as you think it is

[@BrokenEggs-e9s]

I hope they pull through with breakthrough! This means we can explore the universe with longer lifespan.🎉
