Can Bio-Identical Hormones and Telomerase Really Help Me Live Longer?
Many people express skepticism when they first hear about reversing the aging process through telomerase activating therapy. After seeing countless cosmetic products falsely claim to restore youthful appearance, it is not surprising that anyone is skeptical. In order to understand the ambitious claims of reversing aging and potentially lengthening your expected life span,you must first understand what bio-identical hormones and telomerase are. Then you can appreciate the science behind the therapy.
There are only two concerns to supplementing one's hormones:
- That the hormones are safe to consume
- That the dosage is correct -meaning that the dosage raises the serum level to its optimal biological level, and not the maximal level that any one desired for whatever the desirable effect that level may give (like the athletes abusing testosterone for its performance effects).
A safe hormone to supplement is no longer a “natural" hormone, meaning one that comes from plants or another animal; because even hormones come from other animal can be unsafe.
Today, a safe hormone is ANY hormone that is bio-identical chemically, biological and physically to the ones that we have in our own bodies. The way that hormone is made is no longer important.
For example, the insulin that diabetics use today are bio-identical and are made from BACTERIA (e.coli) by DNA recombinant technique. E.Coli is a bacteria that we find in our feces!
These bio-identical hormones are different from most of the chemical hormone pills on the market because they are not chemical imitations—they are actually identical to what your body produces. Therefore they are just as effective as your natural hormones. The only concern is the dosing.
Telomerase is not complex as long as you understand the function of telomere in DNA. Within your cells is DNA, a ribbon of chromosomes that works as a blueprint to map out your physical traits. At the end of your DNA is a tail of extra chromosomes called a telomere. Every time a cell replicates itself, it copies the DNA and cuts off some of the telomere. A cell can duplicate itself only until the telomere is gone. Once DNA has no tail left, cells cannot replace themselves. They deteriorate until they die. As cells age and die, they cause body organs and functions to stop working causing what we called age related organ failures or diseases. Telomerase is an enzyme that adds telomere to the DNA. When cells are stimulated by telomerase, the telomere lengthens, allowing cells to continue replicating themselves.
As you likely surmise, telomerase activating therapy is an exciting treatment that uses bio-identical hormones to lengthen the telomere in every cell of your body. Dr.Edmund Chein, MD. developed the procedure and has determined which major hormones trigger telomerase. The exact mixture of hormones required can differ based on your gender and the level of your hormonal deficiencies. Following hormonal tests, you may be prescribed human growth hormone, testosterone, progesterone,estrogen, melatonin, DHEA, pregnenolone, thyroid hormone, or thymus hormone. Once you have optimal levels of these hormones, you can expect your aging process to reverse and slow down.
The signs, symptoms and the rate we have learned to expect as the normal aging process do not have to continue because science now has a better understanding of aging and the function of telomerase. This breakthrough is backed by science and is already working in the lives of many who look and feel younger than they have in decades. This is not a cosmetic treatment. Your cells can be made healthier and younger, which creates positive changes in every system and organ of your body. When you receive this treatment to reverse aging and extend life span, you are adding years to your life expectancy. For anyone who wonders if bio-identical hormones and telomerase can really help you live longer, the answer is a resounding yes!
