But that was not an optimized study.
They just did a Hail Mary injection, turn it on, see what would happen.
To being able to safely reverse the age of the human body.
How can you be so sure?
I'm not sure, but I'm confident that the science is solid.
The biology of aging is understood, I believe, in concept.
My theory, called the information theory of aging, has so far been not disproven, which is important for a scientist.
And that has allowed us to succeed really for the first time to safely reverse aging.
And I now believe, and though I didn't 10 years ago, I now believe in my lifetime I'm going to see...
Medicines on the market that reset the age, or at least reverse, in a large part, the age of the body.
And that initially won't be to make us just look better and feel better, although that's what a lot of us want.
It's going to be used to cure, certainly prevent, but definitely cure diseases that are currently incurable.
So I think we're at a turning point, dare I say, in human history.
It's not a question of if, it's a question of when this is going to happen.
I do believe that I, and you're about 20-something years younger than me, you're going to see this for sure, that there will be a pill.
So you might say, well...
My critics might say, well, David, that's exaggerating, right?
You're still trying to get these genes to work.
How's it going to be a pill?
But this is where my lab comes in.
