- 0:00Aging doesn't have to be acceptable.
- 0:04In my world, aging is a medical condition that's very common and
- 0:11it's increasingly treatable. Even if we cured all cancer
- 0:15today, we would only live an average of an extra 2 1/2 years.
- 0:22Let that sink in. All cancers gone Today, we only
- 0:27live on average another 2 1/2 years.
- 0:29Why? Because all of the diseases are
- 0:32going up at the same time. So we need to tackle all of the
- 0:35diseases at once, and that's aging.
- 0:39Aging is the cause of these diseases.
- 0:41And what I'm going to tell you today is that next month we're
- 0:46going into human clinical trials to test for the first time in
- 0:49history whether we can reverse the aging process and cure
- 0:55diseases. We can tackle aging because we
- 0:57now believe we understand why we age.
- 1:01And it's not wear and tear. It's not that we just wear out
- 1:03like a car. Our bodies are not like cars.
- 1:08Our bodies are more like computers that can be programmed
- 1:11and reprogrammed and rebooted to be young again.
- 1:15We are like computers, not machines.
- 1:20One analogy. And hopefully you all remember
- 1:23what a compact disk is. We think aging is aging is like
- 1:29scratches on ACD. The DNA is the music.
- 1:33So we get beautiful music when we're young, but when we get
- 1:36old, we cannot read the beautiful music.
- 1:39Our cells do not read the DNA correctly.
- 1:41So the cells, they become lost, they become confused.
- 1:46And our old cells do not make the right proteins and they they
- 1:50get diseases. This, we believe, is aging.
- 1:54But what's amazing is we found that you can Polish the CD, you
- 1:57can get rid of the scratches and rejuvenate cells so they're
- 2:02young again. And to put it another way, you
- 2:06can reinstall the software of the body so that it's young
- 2:08again. We can quite literally, in my
- 2:11lab, reverse the age of cells and of very complex organs and
- 2:17tissues, including the eye, the most complex, and the brain.
- 2:22We can reverse aging by 75% in six weeks.
- 2:28We actually were able to show that using this method, we could
- 2:32cure blindness in in animals for the first time.
- 2:36We could cure blindness. And the world reported just last
- 2:40week that the USFDA regulatory body cleared the way for the
- 2:48first age reversal human trial. It's a big deal.
- 2:52The FDA is very supportive and we will know this year, maybe in
- 2:57the next few months if age reversal works.
