Enhanced Winter Wellness Against Colds & Flu

By Michael Downey

It’s one of the top 10 killers in the US, causing an average estimate of over 30,000 people to die each year.1,2 It’s not heart disease or cancer or diabetes… it’s the flu.

Most people associate the flu with muscle pain, coughing, sore throat, fatigue, and other symptoms, but the flu can turn into a deadly infection.2,3

Scientists have found two ingredients that prime the immune system to defend against the onslaught of influenza and other seasonal pathogens that can result in serious illness and even death.2,4,5

Anti Aging Telomere Treatment Is Here

THIS POST HAS BEEN UPDATED: FOR INFO ON WHERE TO BUY TA 65, GO HERE: UPDATE ON TA 65

I first brought up telomeres back in November in this post: Vitamin D3 and Aging. Basically, they are part of your DNA that are attached to the end of your chromosomes. As we age, they get shorter. Once they get too short, the cells cannot divide and we die.

Now science has found an enzyme that actually reverses that process by keeping the telomere long. A company called Geron developed TA-65, a molecule that activates the enzyme.

TA-65 is made from the chinese herb Astragalus. Apparently, just taking the herb as a supplement will not give you the same results, as there is very little TA-65 produced in the regular processing of this herb.

TA-65 - Supplement Of The Moment

by MALC on MARCH 28, 2010

TA-65 is a ‘supplement’ extracted from the herb Astragalus which repairs thetelomere – the straggly bits at the end of our DNA wich get shorted each time our cells divide. This process – the reducing of telomere length – eventually kills us off at the age of a maximum of 120. In other words, if we were healthy enough that nothing else killed us off, the shrinking of the telomere would do so at this age.
