Dear readers,
Anti-ageing medicine/genomic medicine:
As a new field, it holds immense possibilities.
There are a host of beneficial steps one can take at home.
However, please remember, you should consult your doctor if already taking treatments for any disease.
The supplements/ interventions/habits are not medical advice. These are findings with scientific studies and research.
Each day, new findings are pouring in.
It’s exciting times ahead.
You may have heard of Elizabeth Parrish. If not, you may like to google her.
The first human possibly to get gene therapy.
Is she alright? Google please. You can see and hear her talk about her treatments.
While gene therapy still needs time for the general population, simple anti-ageing measures in form of healthy habits may help people losing hair to retain them.
So, what are these measures that you should read about and implement?
Intermittent fasting (eat to live…not the other way round)
Take regular HIIT as an exercise
Hot sauna and cold showers
hyperbaric oxygen
Breathcontrol exercises
hypoxia for HGH secretion
increasing endogenous nitric oxide
consuming dried parsley to reduce CD38 levels and many more practical steps that can be initiated now.
----------------------------------------------------------
For a long time, I have been reading about many companies trying or hoping for a cell based hair multiplication.
But, the scientific findings suggest that the alternate path of epigenetics and epigenome modification is a better way forward.
Can pattern baldness be considered ageing of the hair and scalp? - Yes, I think so.
Have medicines that can effect gene expression been discovered/invented? - Yes. They may be 1st generation drugs. But they have been researched in animal models and there is good reason to believe they work in humans. Many people are taking them because they were already being used without us knowing their true benefits.
(Of course, wait for more human trials that are being carried out and more planned in future. Such trials happen in the first place when the researchers have good reason to believe they work.)
I don’t have anything against companies trying to make hair in labs.
But, in my experience, it’s more distant and costly.
Unfortunately, for such companies…and fortunately for less well to do patients, anti-ageing medicine works on a preventive pathway.
Many of the medicines and supplements have already been in use for years or decades.
Moreover, there’s a host of measures that can be discussed and started by people who are not aware of them and which are free. You don’t need to pay a doctor.
It’s a lifestyle modification and improvement method. (Not glamorous like cloning).
I will be glad to help readers understand the often simple concepts that can have a far reaching effect on body and hair. Also, if something can prevent cancer will you not take it or even discuss it?
Why hair?! You may ask this.
Scientists researching anti-ageing medicines wanted to visually see the changes in the organ they were working on, so they chose eye instead of liver.
But what most missed was that hair is the fastest growing organ of our body.
Any change in the inside mileu will show it’s effect on hair.
True enough. The researchers, again without trying as usual, found that the hair growth improved.
You may argue fur growth…but there’s more inputs coming about improvements seen in hair quality, color and thickness when used by humans.
And, good news is that the improvement occurs at the cellular/genetic level.
Fisetin, for example works at gene level to change its expression. NMN works to push more hair into anagen phase.
That’s the correct direction.
People losing hair (more and more hair entering telogen), should try to hold onto their hair.
New and better treatments are on way.
These are not some distant dream.
I am a likely candidate to observe the effects.
I have male pattern hairloss in both sides of my family.
I have been using various anti-ageing interventions since 1985, and haven’t turned bald. And I have never used finasteride/propecia.
There’s an urgent need to bring all information out in open.
It’s not that any one doctor will be profiting from this.
It will be a way to a healthy life which will include better hair and skin.
However, it’s not about botox or similar cosmetic quickfixes.
Starting the anti-ageing journey is an all round effort in improving the way one lives, eats, exercises…
Therefore, I wish to share my experiences and knowledge with all who are interested.
…
I will take the readers on this fascinating journey of a lifetime indeed.
You are welcome to join.
I look forward to reading a different point of view.
I will talk about the anti-ageing steps individually.
