So yes, of course, there is big money and big pharma involved in the halls of academic medicine, and this explains why a synthetic drug like 4-OHT (4 hydroxy tamoxifen) was used in the mouse telomere study instead of the more logical choice of 17 beta estradiol (estrogen).

The Race for Natural Substances That Activate Telomerase and Reverse Aging

Resveratrol, Silymarin and Gingko Biloba are natural substances found to activate telomerase with potential for anti-aging. (19)(20)(21)  Calvin Harley  of Geron Corporation, and John Anderson and William H Andrews of Sierra Sciences are leading the race to develop safe products as nutritional supplements to activate telomerase and reverse aging.  Dr. Andrews says "Telomerase activation technology promises to be the most significant advance in human health since germ theory."(22)(23)

 

Bottom Line: There is no need for genetic engineering gymnastics for anti-aging, unless you happen to be a major pharmaceutical company looking to profit from a patentable substance.  Non-patentable Bioidentical Hormones and natural substances are safe and effective ways to activate telomerase and serve as anti-aging.
