Aging is proved to be reversible

Sunday, November 27, 2011




French researchers were able to restore youth to cells taken from people aged over 100 years, reschedule them to the stage of stem cells, demonstrating that aging is reversible. Since 2007, scientists have shown that adult cells can reprogram human pluri-potent stem cells whose properties are similar to those of embryonic stem cells. The reprogramming of adult cells come with no surprise with criticisms regarding the use of embryonic stem cells.
But in their quest to succeed, French researchers, hit a limit in reprogramming adult cells, the cell aging ultimate point. The team of scientists coordinated by Jean-Marc Lemaitre managed to exceed this limit, with a new "cocktail" of six ingredients.
Researchers have tested various aged cells 92 years old, 94 years, 96 years and 101 years and the same success was achieved every time. "Age was definitely a cell barrier to reprogramming," concluded Perrin.

This study opens the way for the use of reprogrammed cells as an ideal source of adult cells tolerated by the immune system to repair damaged organs or tissues in elderly patients.

Haemophila and some of it royal sufferers

Thursday, September 15, 2011

Haemophilia is a genetic blood disorder that impairs the body's ability to control blood clotting or coagulation. It occurs when abnormal clotting factors are inherited, making them unable to function normally. Clotting factors are useful in stopping bleeding from an injury and to prevent spontaneous bleeding.
The disease affects mostly men and women are usually only carriers of the disease. This is because the genes responsible for hemophilia are carried by chromosome X. In women, if one of the two chromosomes is defective, the other usually is able to take information. If there is a defect within the X chromosome responsible for blood proteins (factor VIII or IX), then a male child is born with hemophilia. The severity of the disease depends on the level of each factor in the blood. Based on these levels, haemophilia is classified as: mild, moderate (average) or severe.
There are two more common forms of Haemophilia (but be aware, there are other types of hemophilia, depending on the absence of other blood factors: X, XI, XII, etc.):
Haemophilia A is caused by a deficiency of clotting factor VIII activated. Approximately 80% of the hemophiliacs have haemophilia A, and most of these cases are severe. About 1 in 5,000 boys is born with hemophilia A.
Hemophilia B is caused by a lack of clotting factor IX. It occurs rarely, only in 1 of 30,000 boys. It is also known as Christmas disease after Stephen Christmas, the first patient described to have the disease in 1952.
The risk of hemophilia in a child depends on the parent’s genetic material. Sometimes a child is born with hemophilia because of mutations that occur in the chromosomes of the egg or sperm from one or both parents, but in some cases mutations appear. Researchers do not know the reasons why these mutations occur in some people.
Britain's Queen Victoria (24 May 1819 – 22 January 1901) passed the disease through her heirs (it is believed only 2 of her daughters passed the mutation: Princess Alice and Princess Beatrice) into royal houses across the continent. It is widely believed Queen Victoria carried a spontaneous mutation.
Queen Victoria had the longest reign of a British monarch. In Victorian times the British Empire’s development was impressive: it reached the height of the industrial revolution, and underwent through major social, economic and technological changes, becoming one of the great powers of Europe. The Queen tried to establish international domination and influence through advantageous marriages to other European royal house, but sadly she also passed a deadly disease:

The most famous case is that of Tsarevitch Alexei of Russia. One of Queen Victoria’s granddaughters married Nicholas II of Russia. She became Empress Alexandra Feodorovna. In the first 10 years of marriage, she gave birth to four girls: Olga, Tatiana, Marie and Anastasia. It is not known if they were carriers of the disease. In 1904, the long-awaited heir was born: Tsarevitch Alexei, but unfortunately he was a suffering from Hemophilia B. Feeling guilty for passing the painful disease to their child, Alexandra found her last hope in Rasputin: the monk that played a spectacular role in the fall Romanov dynasty. Rasputin claimed to be able to heal Alexei and the Queen trusted him to such an extent that everyone began to think that not only the Queen was having an affair with him, but that he also he also had an unnatural relationship with her daughters. Alexei was murdered alongside his family and three retainers during the Russian Civil War.
Victoria Eugenia, granddaughter of Queen Victoria married King Alfonso XIII of Spain. Since she was carrying the disease, she brought the haemophilia gene into the Spanish royal family. Two sons, Alfonso, heir to the throne, and Gonzalo have suffered from the disease. The disease weakened the influence that the monarchy had in Spain. Stories began circulating, according to which every day a young soldier was killed for fresh blood to keep the princes alive. Historians argue that the gene Eugenia Victoria passed helped discredit the royal family and was one of the factors that led to the Spanish Civil War.
Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany was Queen Victoria’s eight child. He had haemophilia, and the disease led to his death at age 30 due to a fall in which he injured his knee. He had trouble in finding a wife due to his haemophilia, but at his other suggestion he met and married Princess Helena of Waldeck and Pyrmont. It was a happy marriage and by the time he died, his wife was pregnant with their second child.

Two simple steps to complete anti-aging skin care

Thursday, August 4, 2011


Most people are really concerned of having their faces show any signs of aging like wrinkles. That is why a lot of people would turn to getting unnatural and often dangerous methods just to keep their skin wrinkle-free.


What they do not know is that there are a lot of ways that you can attain young-looking skin using natural means. All you need is to have an effective anti-aging skin care routine. But just what makes up one?

The first thing you need to think of is exfoliation. This step is needed to remove the dead skin cells and expose the healthier skin that’s underneath. By also taking this unhealthy top layer of skin you also induce the natural healing mechanism of the body; this process will also help in reducing the wrinkles, fine lines and skin discoloration. You can exfoliate your skin using a number of different methods; scrubs, getting alpha hydroxyl washes, and also by using a wash cloth made with microfibers. These methods are easy enough that you could do them in the comfort of your own home.

After you exfoliate the next crucial step is to moisturize the skin. When the skin gets enough moisture it will be able to heal at a much faster rate. But using a plain store-bought moisturizer will not do. You need to use a cream that is especially made for the face, much better if the cream contains antioxidants, these will help eliminate toxins and free radicals that get built up. The best sources of antioxidants are vitamins C and E, pomegranates, grape seed oil, and green tea to name a few. A lot of people know of the benefits of consuming these antioxidants, but only a few know that the same benefits can be attained by just applying them topically.

Searching for products that contain peptides as an active ingredient can also help improve your skin’s condition. The peptides that trick the body’s immune system to thinking that the body is losing a lot of collagen, a vital body building block, are the best choice. By doing so, your body will produce an increased amount of collagen and makes the healing process of the skin a whole lot faster than just plainly moisturizing.

These two steps are basically all that you’ll ever need for a complete anti-aging skin care regimen. Do not be fooled by all of the other products being sold in the market that claim to do other things besides these two. Yes, there might be a couple of benefits that can be had by using these products but these are non-essential, and these would often cost a lot of money which are often not worth the meager benefits that they give.

You need not spend a whole lot of money just to make your skin look and feel young again. By doing these two simple steps you’ll have done all you need to do to get younger-looking skin. Remember that in anti-aging skin care, simple is always the best.

5 Food Allergy Myths

Tuesday, July 5, 2011

The most common food allergies are milk, eggs, peanuts, fruits (strawberries, cherries, peaches) and fish. These conditions should be treated carefully as they can have serious consequences. Here are some food allergy myths:Food allergies are not dangerous
Peanuts, tree nuts or seafood allergies are more likely to cause anaphylactic shock which can threaten your life. Symptoms of food allergies include hives, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, difficulty swallowing and fainting.

Food is less allergenic when cooked
With allergies, the body reacts to protein in food. Even if food is cooked the protein remains. There are exceptions for those who are allergic to egg whites and milk: in some cases can consume products that contain them, such as cakes

Allergic reactions will become more intense
The intensity of reactions can't be anticipated. They can be the same intensity, milder or stronger. But symptoms can differ: at one time vomiting occurs, another time hives.

A small bite can't hurt
In fact, if for example you are allergic to peanuts, you don't even have to eat peanuts to become sick. A piece of chocolate with traces of peanuts is enough to cause an allergic reaction.

Allergy symptoms appear several days after consumption
Symptoms rarely occur a few days later, usually they appear within minutes or at most two hours after the first bite.
