Humanity is on the cusp of being able to repair the damage caused by aging.
What can be done about the failing immune system? It could – and I think should – be argued that more than enough is known to make inroads into immune system repair for the aged.
What keeps human beings from taking the possibility of extreme advances in longevity and improved quality of life seriously? Authoritarian ingrained attitudes. Religious positions and beliefs. Government mediocrity. Information overload and junk information. Memes that are hundreds of years out of date.
I am not a medical doctor but I am a researcher. Others suggest starting with more research on the thymus. Is this a good starting place for serious research into fixing the effects of aging on the immune system? Until I have more time to read and talk with experts I am hoping educated people will stumble across this post and give me good information.
Googling the thymus briefly generates a bunch of near garbage articles from poorly written sites and lots of “thymus thump” results – near mumbo jumbo.
In the meantime, I am still popping reseveratrol to try and curb the aging process a little. I also continue counting calories and cutting back on intake to the point my wife is calling me “gaunt man.” That’s not me in the picture.
