Did you know that your DNA has telomeres on the end, which has the repetitive non-coding codes ie: TTAGGG ?

What does this mean? Think of the end of a shoelace, the plastic bit, is your telemere, while the shoelace is your DNA. The telomeres are a DNA clock. As a person 'moves along in time', their telomeres get shorter, and shorter, until the shoelace frays, and the DNA loses information, body parts degenerate rapidly, even change shape, facial features etc...

How tragic !!

Scientists have discovered that telemerase, and enzyme that increases the length of the telemeres, theoretically allows the cell to live indefinitely - never die !!

Unfortunately, cancer also thrives on telemeres/telemerase, so its a stalemate..., until 'enter Astragalus'....

Astragalus has been found to increase the length of the telemeres, while being anticarcinogenic at the same time...Astragalus was also used by the Chinese emperors, and extensive academic research has been done in China regarding Astragalus.

Geron patented an isolated compound called TA 65 taken from Astragalus with some remarkable results, however some controversy has emerged, and the product was unaffordable to most...

...however, it has been discovered by some, that just taking the extract of Astragalus was even more effective than TA-65 verified by DNA testing. Possibly taking large doses such as a few tablespoons of the powdered herb would achieve a similar effect. To date, everyone I have mentioned this to, that has tried it, loves it and keeps taking it...

Everything in your body is transcribed into mRNA from DNA (pre-mRNA first, but introns are spliced out), and then translated into protein/enzymes via the action of ribosomes and tRNA which brings amino acids along as dictated by the mRNA which the ribosome travels along and reads, creating a space for the tRNA to bring the right amino acid to form a polypeptide chain. These polypeptide chains are folded into primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary proteins, each encoding for a part or organ of the body.

What occurs much of today is 'mutation' of the genetic code. It is these mutations that cause much of the health problems people have today, and enviromental toxins, and retroviruses (they 're-encode' your DNA wrong) are the major problems facing humanity and health. Mitochondrial DNA (give your body energy) is circular, whereas Eukaryotic DNA is typically linear. Prokaryotic DNA is circular also, which is what evolutionists are using in an attempt to draw a 'parallel' with being the origin of human DNA because circular DNA is in mitachonrial DNA also. I dont believe in evolution by any definition in terms of natural evolutionary 'species to species' transgenics; except that within a species changes can occur. (the walnut is shaped like a brain, maybe that their brain evolved from a walnut...lol)

Telemeres are on the ends of Chromosomes ie: DNA. dsDNA (double-stranded DNA) is wound on histones forming nucleosomes which end up compacted into a concetrated mass with a particular shape, called a 'chromosome'. A gene is an 'ecoding part' of DNA which encodes for a specific protein and gives phenotypic traits via alleles.

...and the shorter a persons telemeres got over time, the more DNA information is lost and further DNA replication is not entirely as the original template sense strand once was..., which is used to create copies of DNA via semi-conservative replication...

...although there may be other mutations occuring for whatever reason, that compromise the integrity of information coding in the DNA strand, ie: point mutations, missense, nonsense and frameshift mutations etc;...keeping the telemeres long generally keeps the integrity of the original DNA coding information for a longer period of time....

This product has been used by Chinese Emperors for 1000's of years, and Chinese academics have done numerous extensive research and studies on this herb. The Chinese medical profession also use this herb intravenously; using injections isolated from compounds in Astragalus and its extracts for treating cancers among other conditions.

Overall, to keep ones DNA healthy and contained longer without fraying and losing information is to retain more of ones youthfullness and constitutional integrity. Telemeres that are long ensure this typically.

Where there are other issues involving regeneraton, ie: due of effects of stroke or compromised pancreas; stem cells offer the most promising solutions to date. Following that, 'genetic medicine' in 'un-mutating mutations' is the next step IMO...

I was taking astragalus, and then forgot about it. I got out my jar of it and will start again.

You can buy it in capsules, but it seems silly to pay someone to insert the powder in capsules. It makes it very expensive. You can buy it at an herb supply by the pound instead, and mix it with orange juice.

I was getting colds before I took it, it is wonderful for the immune system.

I just buy it by the kg (2.2lbs) powdered, and take one heaped tablespoon of dry powder straight in the mouth, and chase it down with water. Why muck around with caps and mixing creating a mess - just swallow it :)

...I now make a mix with Gotu Kola and Gingko Biloba and Ashwagandha. About 70% Astragalus, 20% Ashwagandha (regrows dendrites and axons in nerve cells) and 5% gotu kola and 5% gingko biloba ... that is just one of my herbal 'mixes' ...hehe

Well, our father Abraham lived until 175 years old ! And it was post flood ! Oh yes, many people think in genesis the Lord restricted the time of human life to 120 years, but in fact it was not the case ! It was not a restriction of age but it was the delay accorded to the whole population of ancient earth at the times of Noah to repent from their evil ways ! Yes, the Lord gave them 120 years to repent ! If it was a restriction of age, no one would live longer than 120 years right ! But even if we don't consider the case of Abraham, many people in modern times lived longer than 120 years ! So the 120 years mentioned in genesis is not a 120 years restriction of age, but it's a 120 years delay of repentance !
Anyway, it was also written : " And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. " Deuteronomy 34:7

This is the only prophet mentioned in the Scripture who died at a great age without the decline of his natural force and his eye. So there must be something very special here. Well, Moses had a very close connection to the Lord's Spirit, so Moses must have been filled with a great spiritual energy, and also he was spiritually and physically very active !

I agree some plants and medicine could help a bit retarding the aging process, but from the story of Moses,
to live much longer and to be greatly empowered from above spiritually and physically, I believe there's nothing better than to develop spiritually and physically a great awareness and activity !
