prognosis in patients with colon cancer”
Caveat: Some diabetics in control group treated with insulin or sulfonylurea drugs that promote tumor cell propagation.
Diabetics on metformin showed these benefits compared to diabetics not prescribed metformin:
25. • Metformin makes breast cancer cells more dependent on glucose (glycolysis)
• Glucose dependence made breast cancer cells sensitive to different drugs
• Metformin could be used to improve chemo treatments

1958 - Metformin approved as anti-diabetic drug in England
1995 - Life Extension® lists metformin as anti-aging drug
2015 - FDA approves first anti-aging study of a drug (metformin)

27. Catastrophic Loss of Life
A 2019 study tabulated reductions in cardiovascular mortality in
type II diabetics using metformin.1
Life Extension® calculated how many cardiovascular deaths may
have occurred in response to metformin’s 37-year delay.
This exceeds the death toll of all wars America has ever fought.

combining checkpoint inhibitors + interleukin-2 (IL-
2) + hyperthermia
March 2019
Results: First restaging 11/2017 three month following initiation of therapy with CT of
abdomen and pelvis demonstrated major partial remission with decrease of the size of
disseminated liver metastasis and no measurable primary pancreatic tumor, vanishing of the
previously described lymphadenopathy. At that time the patient had started gaining weight
again and was free of any cancer-related symptoms. Second restaging 05/2018 nine months
following initiation of therapy with CT of the abdomen and indicated complete remission.
Follow-up time now is 1½ years. Patient is healthy and free of any symptoms.
Conclusion: This is one of several cases of advanced stage cancer patients
having a complete response to primary immunotherapy treatment. Clearly, this
combination immune therapy warrants further clinical studies.

“It’slooking like veryoldmice are able to substantially improve their health
span, reduce or delay age-related diseases and increase their survival.”
They calculated that if only one in 7,000 to 15,000 cells is senescent, then age-related
problems in physical function started to appear in the mice.
Like a contagion, senescent cells seem to pass on their accelerated aging abilities to healthy
cells by releasing a number of factors that can cause tissues like muscle to deteriorate.
Mice given senescent cells and the senolytic compounds lived 36% longer than animals
with senescent cell transplants who were not given the drugs.

Rapamycin slows aging in mice
Rapamycin increases lifespan in mice. This represents an inhibition of
lethal neoplastic diseases, or an overall slowing in multiple aspects of
aging.
Many forms of age‐dependent change, including alterations in heart, liver,
adrenal glands, endometrium, and tendon, as well as decline in
spontaneous activity, occur more slowly in rapamycin‐treated mice.
This suggests that rapamycin retards multiple aspects of aging in mice,
in addition to beneficial effects it may have on neoplastic (cancer) disease.

mTOR inhibition improves immune responses in elderly humans
132. “TORC1 inhibition enhances immune function
and reduces infections in the elderly”
July 11,2018
“The objective of this phase 2a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial was to
determine whether low-dose mTOR inhibitor therapy enhanced immune function and
decreased infection rates in 264 elderly subjects given the study (mTOR inhibitor)
drugs for 6 weeks.
A low-dose combination of a catalytic (BEZ235) plus an allosteric (RAD001) mTOR
inhibitor that selectively inhibits target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) downstream
of mTOR was safe and was associated with a significant (P = 0.001) decrease in the
rate of infections reported by elderly subjects for a year after study drug initiation.
In addition, we observed an up-regulation of antiviral gene expression and an
improvement in the response to influenza vaccination in this treatment group.”
“TORC1 inhibition enhances immune function and reduces infections in the elderly.” Science Translational Medicine-July 11 2018
Elderly people taking mTOR inhibitors had 40% increased response to influenza vaccine.
133. 2018, PMID 29997249, doi: 10.1126/scitranslmed.aaq1564
Two mTOR inhibitors tested: RAD001 + BEZ235.
Response to flu vaccine + number of infections compared to placebo.
Antibody titers 20% higher than placebo considered effective
Improved antibody titers must be observed against all 3 flu strains.
Dose regimen: 0.1 mg/day of RAD001 + 10 mg/day of BEZ235 worked.
People receiving both compounds or BEZ235 alone, reported about 1
fewer infection per year compared to placebo.

143. Caveats Regarding mTOR Suppression
• Do not excessively suppress mTOR as this can contribute to sarcopenia,
frailty and excess weight loss.
• Some people aggressively suppress mTOR for 3 months and then eat
normally for 1 month. During this period they usually reduce or
discontinue AMPK activators.
• Any intervention carries inherent risk of iatrogenesis, which describes
adverse events related to medical treatment.
Letting aging take its normal course is itself inevitably risky

173. What is Epigenetic Age?
“Epigenetics” refers to external modifications that occur in gene
expression as a result of what we do to our bodies, as opposed to
the genetic code we are born with.
Ingesting overcooked food or inhaling
cigarette smoke causes deleterious
epigenetic changes to DNA.
Vitamin D and omega-3s induce
beneficial epigenetic effects.
Examples:
174. DNA methylation controls the
transcription (activation) of genes.
Without proper DNAmethylation,
beneficial genes are deactivated while
harmful genes can be over-expressed.
DNA Methylation measures Epigenetic Age
Young plasma treatment more than halved epigenetic ages.
This is the principal of what is called
“epigenetic aging.”
