Immortality

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immortality


The Fountain of Eternal Life in Cleveland, Ohio is described as symbolizing "Man rising above death, reaching upward to God and toward Peace.

Immortality is eternal life, being exempt from death; unending existence. Some modern species may possess biological immortality.

Certain scientists, futurists, and philosophers have theorized about the immortality of the human body, with some suggesting that human immortality may be achievable in the first few decades of the 21st century. Other advocates believe that life extension is a more achievable goal in the short term, with immortality awaiting further research breakthroughs. The absence of ageing would provide humans with biological immortality, but not invulnerability to death by disease or physical trauma; although mind uploading could solve that if it proved possible. Whether the process of internal endoimmortality is delivered within the upcoming years depends chiefly on research (and in neuron research in the case of endoimmortality through an immortalized cell line) in the former view and perhaps is an awaited goal in the latter case.

What form an unending human life would take, or whether an immaterial soul exists and possesses immortality, has been a major point of focus of religion as well as the subject of speculation and debate. In religious contexts, immortality is often stated to be one of the promises of divinities to human beings who perform virtue or follow divine law.

Let's consider old age just another disease and try to find cure through exploring the following strategies.
According to the Bible during The Antediluvian ("before the flood") Period longevity was much greater than what we have seen over recorded period of history.  It is hard to get scientific evidence about the lifestyle at that time, but studying environmental factors might give us clues to our ancestors longevity. 

Antediluvian

The Creation, beginning of the Antediluvian (i.e., Pre-Flood) world. (Artist's rendition by James Tissot)

The antediluvian (alternatively pre-diluvian or pre-flood) period is the time period chronicled in the Bible between the fall of humans and the Genesis flood narrative in biblical cosmology. The term was coined by Thomas Browne. The narrative takes up chapters 1–6 (excluding the flood narrative) of the Book of Genesis. The term found its way into early geology and science until the late Victorian era.  Colloquially, the term is used to refer to any ancient and murky period.

Hyperborea ("beyond the north wind") was a magical place where people lived extraordinarily long lives.  Today there are some areas where longevity is remarkable, such as Okinawa in Japan, Abkhazia in the former Soviet Union, and Loma Linda, California.  These environments have no commonalities of geography or ethnicity, but they are all clean and non-toxic, and the people there share several lifestyle factors that contribute to longevity. They all tend to have a low body mass index (BMI); they eat healthy diets rich in vegetables and fruits; they have low meat intake; they use very few chemicals except salt to preserve their food; they engage in consistent, lifelong, strenuous physical activity; and they have strong social ties.  We can incorporate many of these factors into our own lifestyles.  The good news is that every region of the world has "blue zones" that can support healthy and productive people over the age of 100 years old.

In Greek mythology, the Hyperboreans (Ancient Greek: Ὑπερβόρε(ι)οι, Latin: Hyperborei) were a legendary people who lived in the far northern part of the known world. Their name appears to derive from the Greek ὑπέρ Βορέᾱ, "beyond Boreas" (the personified North Wind), although some scholars prefer a derivation from ὑπερφέρω ("to carry over") Despite their location in an otherwise frigid part of the world, the Hyperboreans were believed to inhabit a sunny, temperate, and divinely-blessed land. In many versions of the story, they lived north of the Riphean Mountains, which shielded them from the effects of the cold North Wind. The oldest myths portray them as the favorites of Apollo, and some ancient Greek writers regarded the Hyperboreans as the mythical founders of Apollo's shrines at Delos and Delphi. Later writers disagreed on the existence and location of the Hyperboreans, with some regarding them as purely mythological, and others connecting them to real-world peoples and places in northern Europe (e.g. Britain, Scandinavia, or Siberia) In medieval and Renaissance literature, the Hyperboreans came to signify remoteness and exoticism. Modern scholars consider the Hyperborean myth to be an amalgam of ideas from ancient utopianism, "edge of the earth" stories, the cult of Apollo, and exaggerated reports of phenomena in northern Europe (e.g. the Arctic "Midnight sun")

The third strategy of trying to achieve immortality is the search for the The Fountain of Youth.  We will look for miracle drugs, foods, or restorative substances that will prevent aging.  You may have heard about human growth hormone (HGH).  HGH is secreted from the anterior pituitary lobe to stimulate cell growth and reproduction.  The positive effects of naturally occurring HGH  in the body include reduction of body fat, increase of muscle mass and bone density, enhancement of skin tone and texture, and increase in energy level.

The Fountain of Youth, 1546 painting by Lucas Cranach the Elder

The Fountain of Youth is a mythical spring that restores the youth of anyone who drinks or bathes in its waters. Tales of such a fountain have been recounted around the world for thousands of years, appearing in the writings of Herodotus (5th century BC), the Alexander romance (3rd century AD), and the stories of Prester John (early Crusades, 11th/12th centuries AD). Stories of similar waters were also prominent among the people of the Caribbean during the Age of Exploration (early 16th century), who spoke of the restorative powers of the water in the mythical land of Bimini. Based on these many legends, explorers and adventurers looked for the elusive Fountain of Youth or some other remedy to aging, generally associated with magic waters. These waters might have been a river, a spring, or any other water source that was said to reverse the aging process and cure sickness when drunk or bathed in.

The legend became particularly prominent in the 16th century when it was attached to Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon, first Governor of Puerto Rico. Ponce de León was supposedly searching for the Fountain of Youth when he traveled to Florida in 1513. Legend has it that Ponce de León was told by Native Americans that the Fountain of Youth was in Biminii.

Growth hormone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_hormone

Growth hormone 1 (pituitary)

Growth hormone (GH) or somatotropin, also known as human growth hormones (hGH or HGH) in its human form, is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration in humans and other animals. It is thus important in human development. GH also stimulates production of IGF-1 and increases the concentration of glucose and free fatty acids. It is a type of mitogen which is specific only to the receptors on certain types of cells. GH is a 191-amino acid, single-chain polypeptide that is synthesized, stored and secreted by somatotropic cells within the lateral wings of the anterior pituitary gland.

A recombinant form of hGH called somatropin (INN) is used as a prescription drug to treat children's growth disorders and adult growth hormone deficiency. In the United States, it is only available legally from pharmacies by prescription from a licensed health care provider. In recent years in the United States, some health care providers are prescribing growth hormone in the elderly to increase vitality. While legal, the efficacy and safety of this use for HGH has not been tested in a clinical trial. Many of the functions of hGH remain unknown.

In its role as an anabolic agent, HGH has been used by competitors in sports since at least 1982, and has been banned by the IOC and NCAA. Traditional urine analysis does not detect doping with HGH, so the ban was not enforced until the early 2000s, when blood tests that could distinguish between natural and artificial HGH were starting to be developed. Blood tests conducted by WADA at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece targeted primarily HGH. Use of the drug for performance enhancement is not currently approved by the FDA.

SomaDerm is made with the highest standard of natural, botanical herbs and ingredients. These raw products not only help support healthy adrenal and thyroid function in the body but help rejuvenate our bodies as we age.

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is a succulent plant species that grows wild in tropical, semi-tropical, and dry climates around the world, originating from the Arabian Peninsula. It is widely known to relieve sunburns and can be found in many skincare products such as lotions, cosmetics, and ointments. This medicinal plant contains antioxidant and antibacterial properties and is a primary ingredient in SomaDerm. 

Green Tea

Green tea is a type of tea that is made from Camellia sinensis leaves and buds. Camellia sinensis is a species of evergreen shrubs or small trees that belong to the Theaceae family, also known as the tea family. Green tea has been consumed for its health benefits for centuries but what many don’t know is that it also offers benefits when applied topically, including that it may help reduce fatigue and may support healthy weight management. 

Licorice Root

This root has many benefits, including that it may help normalize hormones during menopause and may help aid in maintaining a healthy weight. It is a phytoestrogen, which protects our estrogen receptor sites from xenohormones. This helps to protect our body from endocrine disruptors, which are known to cause fertility problems. This root is also an adaptogen that supports liver health as well as endocrine and immune system function to achieve overall hormonal balance. Licorice is the common name of Glycyrrhiza glabra and is an herbaceous perennial legume native to Western Asia and southern Europe. The sweet, aromatic flavor is drawn from the root of the plant and has been commonly used in herbalism and traditional medicine.

Chaste Tree Fruit

The berry of the chaste tree offers a variety of benefits and may help normalize hormones associated with menstruation and menopause.  Chaste tree berries may help stimulate progesterone. This is a female hormone that arises 2 weeks before menstruation. Chaste tree or Vitex is in the Lamiaceae family, which is a family of flowering plants commonly known as the mint or sage family and has about 250 species. The species is native throughout the tropics and subtropics and is a genus of shrubs and trees that range from 1 to 35 meters tall. 

Epimedium

Epimedium is a flowering plant in the family Berberidaceae, which contains about 700 known species and includes trees, shrubs, and perennial herbaceous plants. Also known as barrenwort, bishop’s hat, fairy wings, horny goat weed, or yin yang huo, epimedium is an herbaceous perennial that may support healthy joints and decrease mental and physical fatigue.  

Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo biloba, or maidenhair, is a tree native to China that has a wide variety of uses and has been grown for thousands of years.  The leaf from the Ginkgo biloba tree is used in SomaDerm for its powerful antioxidants that aid in neutralizing free radicals. 
Ginkgo is an herb used to treat altitude sickness, cerebral vascular insufficiency, cognitive disorders, dementia, dizziness/vertigo, intermittent claudication, macular degeneration/glaucoma, memory loss, premenstrual syndrome, sexual dysfunction, and is a vasodilator. These unique trees are large and tend to reach a height of 20–35 meters (65–115 feet).  

Mucuna Pruriens (Velvet Bean Seed)

Mucuna Pruriens seeds are a rich source of L-dopa and its metabolites, which include epinephrine and norepinephrine. An increase in dopamine levels in the brain following supplementation with Mucuna Pruriens may support the activation of sexual behavior as well as increase plasma testosterone levels. Mucuna Pruriens or Velvet Bean Seed, also known as monkey tamarind, cowage, cowitch, lacuna bean, and Lyon bean, is a tropical legume native to Africa and tropical Asia. The plant of the velvet bean is an annual climbing shrub with long vines that can reach over 15 meters (50 feet) in length. The seeds offer a variety of benefits, including that they may help improve joint health.

Wild Yam Root

The unique root of this variable plant has been shown to possibly aid in the maintenance of and production of healthy levels of estrogen and DHEA. Wild yam root contains diosgenin. It’s a plant steroid that scientists can manipulate to produce steroids, such as progesterone, estrogen, cortisone, and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), which are then used for supplementation and medical purposes. Advocates assert that wild yam root has benefits similar to those offered by these steroids in your body, providing a natural alternative to estrogen therapy or progesterone creams.
