or to not exist, but to know that that's what's going to happen is really cruel.
And so I vowed actually legitimately around the age of 18 to get a PhD, to go to the United States, and develop a research lab to try and do something about it.
The preservation of health and life is the most important thing that we can do as human beings.
We do it with some drugs to treat that disease and the other disease, cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's.
But what's underlying that, what's really causing about 150,000 to 200,000 people every day to die is the underlying universal process we call aging.
And for far too long, we've ignored it or accepted it as natural, therefore acceptable.
And I fundamentally reject the idea that aging, just because it's natural, is acceptable.
There will be a day when we look back at today and think how medieval were our medicines and how sad it was that we accepted that we became frail before 100.
Yeah.
All right.
So first of all, who am I?
I'm a Harvard professor.
I've been studying ageing, longevity, and age reversal for 30 years.
The technology now that we have in my lab that is used every day by my students literally reverses the age of tissues in animals, in human tissue that we grow in the lab.
And the first human trials to test this are going to be performed in about a month from now.
And if it works, it'll transform human history.
It means that we're on a path to finally being able to reset the age of the human body, not by a year, not by 10 years, but even more than that.
And what happens when you do that, what we're finding in animals that includes primates, is that we can cure things that have previously been impossible, including blindness, by the way.
And so if you're listening and you're skeptical, I'm not some hack.
I am a Harvard professor who is telling the world and has written a book about it
