Our metabolism, when we're old, is closer to heading towards what a cancer cell's metabolism is like.

So that when we actually do get cancer, the cancer cells grow better in an old person than when you're young.

And so by rejuvenating those cancer cells, giving them the ability to be young again, they actually either slow down in their growth or, as I said, kill themselves in response.

There are people here that may not know what I'm holding in my hands, but for those of you who don't know and who are just listening, I'm holding a record in my hands, a vinyl record that Stephen just handed me.

So the information theory of aging, the analogy that I used is that it disrupts information.

And so this record, this album has information on it.

It's music, and just like DNA, it's information.

So instead of the DNA information, the control of the DNA getting messed up in the album, it's like scratching this album.

So I'm literally going to scratch this album.

Is that okay with you?

Of course you can.

All right.

I'm not sure I can fix it, by the way.

It may be a one-way thing, but I've never done this before.

That's painful.

Maybe you can hear that happening.

So if we were to play this on a record player with a needle, it's going to jump around, and it's going to read the wrong songs, or it's going to certainly not sound very good.

So that's now the equivalent of an old cell.

The information, the beautiful music,

there but the ability to read it has been messed up in the same way that old age the information is in the DNA but you the cells don't read it correctly and what our technology is is to get rid of those scratches and so we can play the beautiful music of our youth again um I have got this you told me to bring my weighted vest and this neck brace
