I decided to make a part 2 because the part 1 is actually successful. Imagine being 90 years old but having the looks and stamina of 26 years old. Imagine going to a family reunion with your great great great great grandchildren celebrating with you and you don't know who they are. It is very unrealistic for this lifetime but maybe in just few decades it is possible. Here are some of the latest technological breakthrough in life and health extension science. I know the first part on featured more technologies but these 3 needs more explanation. Also they are more grounded compare to the far fetch ones from part 1.
Gene Therapy= Our telomeres are the cap of each strands of our dna and it is some sort of a protection to our chromosomes. The older we get the shorter they get. Scientists are now making researches to keep them long because it could be the key to slow down aging.
Metformin-
Metformin is prescription drugs used for diabetics. Soon though it might be an over the counter drug non diabetics can take too. Why? There is a research where they notice diabetics who takes metformin lived longer than the diabetics who didn't. There is a noticeable slow down of aging to diabetic users of metformin and they are having less chances of getting cancer. Some pharmaceutical companies are now considering to sell metformin to non diabetics as an anti-aging drug that can extend your healthspan. When we say healthspan what I mean is feeling you are on your prime. Metformin won't make you live for centuries but a century and 2 decades might be a possibility. For now you have to be a diabetic with doctor's prescription to take metformin but soon it could become over the counter. Glutathione is originally sold as a cancer prevention drug but it is now an over the counter skin whitening supplement for people who hates their tan and wants to have milky skin. Scientist are now making trials of testing metformin for non diabetics.
Fuda Cancer hospital in Guangzho China
No Chemotherapy and no super invasive surgeries but this hospital in China is able to shrink tumors and cure cancer patients with nothing but machines! It is one of the most expensive cancer hospitals in the world because of how their treatments deliver. One of their most popular treatments is their cancer cryotherapy, which is a machine that kills cancer cells in your body by submerging in cold temperature. Another popular treatment they have is cryosurgical ablation which is a machine operated surgery. They give free treatments to people with extreme cases of tumors and cancers as endorses but only a select few because this hospital is still a business after all.
Here are some of miracles this hospital is able to do:
Imagine if other hospitals gets to replicate their technology. For now though Fuda's technologies remained strictly with them. Getting a reservation to them is also hard because dying rich people still want to live. They only give free treatments to people with gigantic tumors so they can be flashy about their technology.
