Fountain of youth pill 'is just two years away from shop shelves' By Claire Bates Professor Skulachev, 69, has spent 40 years trying to create the elixir of youth It may sound like science fiction but researchers believe they have discovered the 'Holy Grail' - an anti-ageing pill that will add decades to our lives. Furthermore its creator Professor Vladimir Skulachev said it should be available to the public within two years The Russian scientist from Moscow State University, said the drug works by halting the damaging effects that oxygen can have on the body's cells. This would stave off dangerous age-related illnesses thereby adding years to our lives. The dream of eternal life has been woven into numerous myths over thousands of years. According to legend, the Holy Grail - a cup that was supposedly used by Jesus at the Last Supper - would give immortality to whoever drank from it. But while many may dismiss the 69-year-old's claims as outlandish, his findings have been backed up by the international scientific community including Nobel prize winner Dr Gunter Blobel. Dr Blobel from Rockefeller University said: 'It has been shown that oxidative damage is huge. But we do not have an anti-oxidant of the type that Professor Skulachev has developed. 'He is clearly the world's best bio-chemist and bio-energetic scientist.' The cells in our bodies need oxygen to exchange energy but oxygen can also cause cells to die if it takes on active and poisonous forms. Natural anti-oxidants have been found to help slow this fatal process but are not strong enough to have a lasting impact. Professor Skulachev said: 'Ninety-nine per cent of the time oxygen turns into harmless water, but there's that one percent that turns into a super-oxide that later turns into very poisonous elements. 'So the task was to find an anti-oxidant that stops that process.' Professor Skulachev said he has created innovative anti-oxidants nicknamed 'Skulachev's ions' after 40 years of hard work. They neutralise the dangerous form of oxygen inside the cells and have been designed to travel to within a few nanometers of the position where they will have most impact in the cell. Healthy old age: An anti-oxidant treatment will now be tested on volunteers Healthy old age: An anti-oxidant treatment will now be tested on volunteers The professor said the most difficult part of the process has been trying to prevent any side effects. However, he said thousands of people have registered to take part in human trials and that the treatment will be available after around two more years of clinical testing. In previous work the professor received acclaim for showing how special anti-oxidants could double the average lifespan of mice and keep them healthier for longer. He has also created synthesised eye drops that restored sight to a group of blind horses, dogs and rabbits. Professor Skulachev even used himself as a human guinea-pig and removed a cataract from one of his eyes. Biologist Maksim Skulachav, son of Professor Vladimir Skulachav said: 'Finally, we hope that we will manage to convince people that a single pill treats many threats of ageing. So, it must be doing something with the ageing itself. 'Then, if authorities will accept this logic, maybe we could somehow market it as anti-ageing drug.' Actually, many researchers are working on such pills. No country will be able to stop the flood of anti-aging 'dumb-chemicals" and the next stage of 'smart-atoms' or nanites. If you listen to the concerns from the EU and USA and many other countries it is about the loss of trained and educated persons to common diseases associated with or compounded by age sch as dementia, heart disease, stroke, diabetes and so on. Expect cheap mass cures or repairing and maintaining pills and artificial organs and body parts for the most common of diseases and aging such that persons need less expensive hospital and nursing home care and can work and consume to maintain the economy and industries Like illegal drugs, any anti-aging or rejuvination pill will be smuggled in or copied to the point that no law enforcement or government restrictions will stop it. Instead, expect the basic, masive cures, augments, replacements to be available just like any over the counter drug or supplement. - prophet atlantis, olympia, wa, usa, 26/9/2010 06:46 Click to rate Rating 2 I'm not at all convinced by this pill extending your life span. Perhaps it will a little bit but not significantly. I'm afraid the only way you can maximise your potential for life span (and obviously there is still no guarantee) is by adopting a healthy life style every day of your life. Building a routine of healthy meals, plenty of water, social activity, hard work, exercise and sleep. Avoiding totally smoking, drugs, alcohol and fast food. What a great life! - Deborah, London, 24/9/2010 11:30 Read more: www.dailymail.co.uk/healt...helves.html#ixzz11Bh3frwE

Michio Kaku on C2C said it all depends on if and how well we can refurbish the mitochondria energizers in cells that will determine how much longer humans can live. Design a virus to inject nanobots into worn out or otherwise defective heart, etc. cells to repair/rebuild just the way a mechanic does with a car engine.
Sounds like an allosteric inhibitor, such as what the poison known as arsenic does to human cells. Oh, it will preserve the cells, but it will also kill you, along with your cells. And because it preserves the cells, your body will decay very slowly.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.
Silly article. It is a well established fact that only Americans funded by the federal government are able to invent things of this magnitude.

It's obviously a conspiracy. Those evil old Ruskies have always hated America and are out to get us. You might want to add them to the list of those out to destroy the USA Paul. I bet the liberal media is behind it!

I guess that's why the mice lived DOUBLE their average life span with much better health, cause they were eating arsenic. Man, all you have to do is read the article and you won't have to sound like an utter fool.

I did read the article. I am pointing out the possible risks.
The russians have a history of being scientific or technical pioneers at least in some fields.

YAY, something to prolong the lives of tyrants and evildoers. Nothing for those who are decent, good, and productive. None of this will be given to the drone class. After all, we are not like they above right? I sincerely hope that this pill works the way I want it to. Lulls these bastards into a false sense of immortality, then kills them abruptly, all at once, at the same time, on the same day, at the exact same second. Then the world would be purified of this sort of evil for about an hour, until the next batch of larcenous, and murderous bastards took their place. I think everyone should watch the movie called "Daybreakers". It's a crapfest for the most part, but there is one moment where you see something that is a perfect metaphor for what we are experiencing right now.

Not really. Rank and file Slavs always admired America and many came here prior to WWII. After the war at least half of them would have left Eastern Europe had they been allowed to do so. To discourage this and to maintain better control over the population the ruling communist Bolshevik Jews generated propaganda to turn "capitalist" Americans into bogeymen. It's the same stunt today's lying, self-serving Zionists are pulling off on Islam.
I get all fuzzy just thinking about it.
WWGPD? - (What Would General Pinochet Do?)
I hope I see the day when they won't dare show their faces in public. The world quite frankly should have had more than enough of them a long time ago.
God is always good!
Oh, to dream.....
Tommy, you may not believe in God, but he is real and he will strike these fools dead at the right time. They will not get away with any of their evil deeds on Earth, no one will.
God is always good!
No need to dream, their appointment with death is fast approaching, just as it is for all of us.
God is always good!
I believe in God just fine. I just know he doesn't seem to give a shit about how long these evil people live. They're not his people, they're the devil's and the devil unfortunately seems to want these bastards to live forever. Likely because of the Faustian bargains they've all made. If God truly cared about the welfare of humanity, he'd make examples of every one of these bastards who are destroying the world, and destroying the people in it. Instead, each and every one of them seems to live a good long life, and then... Their entire history is re-written. Are there that many people who made bargains with the devil? If so, there's gotta be a way to mortgage my soul, and then do the death bed recant, so that God can save me. Kind of like how Hitler is probably in heaven doing Jesus' laundry. One man's heaven is another's hell.

I was just being sarcastic with Paul. He's convinced that the whole world is out to get us because they hate us for our freedoms - and that the "librul" media is helping them. He's also convinced that the Muslims are going to take over the United States, force our women to wear burkas and make us all live under Sharia law. So of course OTHERS should kill every Muslim on the face of the Earth. LOL! It's truly impressive that he can find the nerve to crawl out from beneath his bed and post on this forum with the number of people out to get him. Balls of steel. LOL!
