Albert von Kolliker discovered the existence of mitochondria around 1857. He was studying human muscle cells when he noted strange granules in them.
Dr. Terry Wahls learned how to properly fuel her body. Using the lessons she learned at the subcellular level, she used diet to cure her MS and get out of her wheelchair.

This system is just unfair, expensive, mindless and inefficient states Uwe Reinhardt, PhD. We need a single payer system.
At NEHI’s (www.nehi.net) Annual Meeting, Uwe Reinhardt, Princeton University economist, provided a provocative keynote on innovating for value in health care. At the meeeting held May 10, 2011, Reinhardt challenged the audience to increase quality for patients by creating new solutions that focus on reducing health care costs.
The current system squeezes physician and hospital providers so regulators, insurance administration, brokers and fee cutters can flourish. Thats just wrong, its just cost shifting!
Uwe Reinhardt at NEHI Annual Meeting – Keynote Part I of IV
Founded in 2002, NEHI is a nonprofit, independent health policy institute dedicated to transforming health care for the benefit of patients and their families. As a member-based organization, NEHI brings together diverse perspectives from the health care community across the country – including patients, payers, providers, universities, hospitals and not-for-profit institutions, and for-profit companies and associations – to find mutual solutions to mutual health care problems through collaboration, research and transformation.

The reality is that life expectancy has been steadily increasing in the last 160 years by about 3 months per year. Where will this trend lead us? Is there an upper limit? (1)

Revolutionary Technology of Telomerase Activation for Anti-Aging
Moving America Forward’s Doug Llewelyn interviews Dr. Ed Park about the revolutionary technology of Telomerase Activation, which was the subject of the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2009. What a fascinating show on anti-aging. No wonder Shatner looks so good at 80.
TA-65 = Powerful Telomerase Activator In 2001, a world-class biotech company named Geron made a landmark discovery. The scientists at Geron Corporation discovered TA-65®, a proprietary, single molecule purified from Astragalus Botanical Roots that causes Telomerase Activation (TA). Astragalus has been used for centuries as a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Its usage dates back to the late Han Dynasty (206 BC) when it was considered a “heaven class” herb due to its anti-aging properties associated with an extended life span. Like Ascorbic Acid (aka Vitamin C,) which occurs in many edible plants, TA-65 is considered a Nutraceutical. TA-65® is NOT the same Astragalus extract products commonly found in herbal and vitamin shops. There is no ongoing monitoring of people taking them so we don’t know what the results may be.
Yoga may have positive effect on anxiety, depression, and arrhythmia [Atrial fibrillation (AF or A-fib) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heart beat]. Source: Cardiology Today
“Emotional stress is very well correlated with AF. A lot of patients with AF complain of significant anxiety and depression, Dhanunjaya Lakkireddy, MD, director of the Center for Excellence in AF and EP Researcher at the University of Kansas, told Cardiology Today. “However, it is unclear whether anxiety and depression bring on the AF or if AF brings on the anxiety and depression.”
During a session here, Lakkireddy presented unpublished data from a study that measured quality of life, anxiety and depression in patients with AF. The study included 49 patients who participated in two 60-minute yoga sessions a week for 3 months. Researchers measured quality of life, anxiety and depression scores at baseline and again at the end of 3 months. Additionally, yoga reduced symptomatic AF episodes from 3.8 at baseline to 2.9 at 3 months. The number of asymptomatic AF episodes was also reduced after yoga practice, Lakkireddy said. Yoga was also associated with improved quality of life, anxiety and depression scores at the end of the study period. Correlation analysis showed that change in anxiety and depression correlated with the change in the number of AF episodes.
“There was a 35% to 40% reduction in the number of AF episodes in this study,” Lakkireddy said in an interview. “Yoga doesn’t completely cure AF, but in gross terms, the number of AF episodes was significantly lowered to reach statistical significance.”

Why do we binge watch? One way to answer this question is to say, well, we binge on TV for the same reason we binge on food. And these psychological factors are no doubt apt. But the anthropological ones are perhaps just as useful and a little less obvious because culture is a thing of surfaces and secrets, and the anthropologist is obliged to record the fir […]
