Before we were hired to be 8-hour per day caregiver for a 4th stage lung cancer client in Los Gatos, California , we were told that he has 6 months to live. Over a year now and he can get up from his bed with his oxygen and getting 6x short walks around his bedroomContinue reading “How we helped a lung cancer patient live more than 24 months”

Hormonal imbalance, lack of sleep and aging
Cost of staying young and delaying aging
Having more time to relax and enjoy the culture and environment around you can delay the aging process. While doing that, you breath deeply and savor with all your senses things around you.
Note that sense of smell and taste are decreased with aging especially as Alzheimer or Parkinson’s disease progress.
You can walk and exercise every 4 hours and not be confined to a box and a chair. Email motherhealth@gmail.com of stories how your parents or grandparents reached the age of 98+.

Missed Connections: Memory Related Brain Activity Loses Cohesion As We Age
Summary: Researchers report groups of brain regions that synchronize their activity during memory tasks become smaller and more numerous as people age. Source: PLOS. Groups of brain regions with coordinated activity are consistent for individuals, but shrink with age. Groups of brain regions that synchronize their activity during memory tasks become smaller and more numerousContinue reading “Missed Connections: Memory Related Brain Activity Loses Cohesion As We Age”
Mapping Genes That Increase Lifespan
Comprehensive study finds 238 genes that affect aging in yeast cells. Following an exhaustive, ten-year effort, scientists at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and the University of Washington have identified 238 genes that, when removed, increase the replicative lifespan of S. cerevisiae yeast cells. This is the first time 189 of these genesContinue reading “Mapping Genes That Increase Lifespan”
mRNA molecules, oxidative damage in the heart, stress response and longevity
Gene expression profile was obtained with high-density oligonucleotide microarrays. Of 9,977 genes represented on the microarray, 249 transcripts in the young mice, 298 transcripts in the middle-aged mice, and 256 transcripts in the old mice displayed a significant change in mRNA levels (ANOVA, P < 0.01). Among these, a total of 55 transcripts were determinedContinue reading “mRNA molecules, oxidative damage in the heart, stress response and longevity”

Longevity foods, herbs and nutrients
Germanium for longevity The following foods contain the greatest concentrations of Germanium-132: broccoli, celery, garlic, shitake mushrooms, milk, onions, rhubarb, sauerkraut, tomato juice, chlorella, all chlorophyll rich foods and the herbs aloe vera, ginger,ginseng and Suma (see images below). Nutritionally, the natural element germanium has been known to aid in the prevention of cancer andContinue reading “Longevity foods, herbs and nutrients”
What progress is being made on treating aging?
By Johnty Andersen There is Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Stem Cell Information and the work with the removal of senescent cells (7) plus work like that described in the video below and things might change very fast. SRF Home Telomere extension turns back aging clock in cultured human cells, study finds Sierra Sciences/telomere Anti-ageing pillContinue reading “What progress is being made on treating aging?”
Epigenetic Clock Marks Age of Human Tissues and Cells
By Carol Torgan, Ph.D. The age of many human tissues and cells is reflected in chemical changes to DNA. The finding provides insights for cancer, aging, and stem cell research. We may gauge how we’re aging based on visible changes, such as wrinkles. For years, scientists have been trying to gauge aging based on changesContinue reading “Epigenetic Clock Marks Age of Human Tissues and Cells”
DNA changes predict longevity
By Harrison Wein, Ph.D. Certain DNA changes can better predict a person’s life expectancy than traditional risk factors such as age. The findings could lead to novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of aging and new ways to evaluate methods for slowing the rate of aging. “Epigenetic age” might represent a person’s biological age moreContinue reading “DNA changes predict longevity”
Longevity, genes, epigenetics, cancer and disease
Description: The study of human genetic disorders and mutant mouse models has provided evidence that genome maintenance mechanisms, DNA damage signaling and metabolic regulation cooperate to drive the ageing process. In particular, age-associated telomere damage, diminution of telomere ‘capping’ function and associated p53 activation have emerged as prime instigators of a functional decline of tissueContinue reading “Longevity, genes, epigenetics, cancer and disease”
