Telomere Rejuvenation - Key to Health and Longevity
"Our bodies are made up of chromosomes, which are essentially long strands of DNA. Chromosomes are responsible for our appearance, our traits, and for all of the processes occurring within our bodies. Every chromosome has protective wrappers at each end, called telomeres. These wrappers prevent the chromosomes from getting damaged. Think of a telomere as the plastic bit at the end of a shoelace that stops your shoelace from fraying. Recent scientific discoveries have shown that telomere health (and specifically length) could hold the key to aging. Our cells divide all the time, and every time our cells divide the telomere gets shorter and some genetic information may be lost. Scientists have found that chromosomes may stop duplicating if the telomeres become too short.
Telomeres ordinarily shrink by 1% annually, from birth to death. The telomeres of people with unhealthy habits shrink much faster, while those of people with the best habits and genes shrink at a slower rate, thus enabling such people to live to approximately 100 years of age.
Ultimately, telomere health is a major determinant of overall health and longevity. The ability to rejuvenate or regrow telomeres is, therefore, of major importance. There have been studies to assess the effect of electromagnetic fields on telomeres. Tissue cultures of the kidney and liver cells of mice doubled their life expectancy after 30 minutes of exposure to an electromagnetic field. Telomeres of these tissue culture cells grew longer instead of shrinking. In similar study, 27 of 34 subjects had an average regeneration of 5.9% yearly from daily 30 - 60 minute exposure.
In a pilot study, telomeres in 6 individuals (3 men and 3 women from 50 to 74 years of age) were measured, initially in lymphocytes and neurophils. Each participant then spent at least 5 days each week sitting or lying in an electromagnetic field of 54 to 78 GHz, 50 to 75 decibels, or 1 billionth of a watt per centimeter square. After 3 months of this electromagnetically generated solar homeopathic approach, average telomere length had increased 1%. After 10 months of use of the device, average telomere length had increased 2.9%.
Theoretically this "reverses" 2.9 years of telomere aging. Using this approach, a 75 year old would theoretically reverse telomere aging by 50 years within a 14 year period. In conclusion, telomeres are responsible not only for the length of life but also the integrity of DNA and thus ultimately for life itself. "
