Human Growth Hormone: Anti-Aging or Speed-Aging?
July 12, 2008 — adminCarlin, Comedian, Dies Suddenly from Heart Failure
June 23, 2008 — adminGeorge Carlin, is dead. Fallen to heart failure at 71. And it was surely the last thing he was expecting. At 71, the counterculture critic-comedian was on top of the world. He was scheduled to be honored at the Kennedy Center in November. Last weekend, he performed in Vegas. But on Sunday afternoon Carlin complained of chest pains, checked into the hospital, and was dead in a few hours. A Scientific anti-aging program could have prevented or greatly postponed Carlin’s heart failure. And given him many more good years.
Instead, by drugs and alcohol, Carlin put himself on an accelerated aging regimen. And unfortunately for us, it worked like a charm. And robbed us of Carlin’s extraordinary talent as a comedian-social-critic.
A grim reminder of why we’re interested in anti-aging news and anti-aging. It is the most rational thing. Much more rational indeed than obsessing about stocks, career, getting rich, or financial planning for “the golden years.”
For what is the point of financial planning for “the golden years” if you forget to do anti-aging planning for the “golden years.” So that they will be “golden” indeed. And not chronically ill, bedridden, wheelchaired, or, heavens forbid, senile.
What is the point of planning for retirement unless we make sure we’re alive and kicking at 65 — and for a long, long time after?
Here’s to Life! We’re into anti-aging because we love life!
Because aging prematurely, needlessly, badly leads to premature Death. Dying at 71 is very premature and rather shabby. The average life expectancy in the U.S. is 78. So Carlin was seven years short. Not to mention the maximum human lifespan which is 122 at least. And by that count, Carlin fell over half a century short.
Does it really matter how much Carlin managed to rack up in his estate with his frenetic non-stop performances?
Death means losing everything.
Death means losing the whole game.
And Anti-Aging — scientific anti-aging that is, for pseudo-science will kill you — is the way to prevent this catastrophic loss for as long as possible.

The “Antidote” to Premature Aging & Death: The Elixxir Program
Wine Extends Life, Fights Heart Disease & Cancer. So Why Anti-Aging Gurus Hate Wine?
June 3, 2008 — adminIrvine, CA (June 3, 2008)– Why are almost all “anti-aging gurus” from the late Atkins to Sears to Pritikin to Ornish fervently against wine or alcoholic beverage of any kind? All except one — Elixxir of The Elixxir Program — who is unabashedly pro-wine.
Recently, Francisco J. Ayala, a distinguished evolutionary biologist at UC Irvine, praises wine, especially red wine, as “the elixir of life.” A recipient of the 2001 National Science Medal, Dr. Ayala points out wine “increases (average) life expectancy.” How? By greatly cutting our risk for cardiovascular disease, “which happens to be the greatest cause of mortality among humans in developed countries.”
Few remember the late Dr. Atkins wrote a book called “Dr. Atkins’ Age-Defying Diet.” And claimed to be a bona fide “anti-aging guru.” Two years after the book came out, Atkins suffered clinical death due to cardiac arrest. A year or so later, he was not just clinically dead, but dead dead. A good number of years short of the average U.S. lifespan.
Not very “age-defying.”
But anyway, anyone who knows anything about The Atkins Diet knows that alcohol is verboten.
With his “Pritikin Longevity Centers,” Nathan Pritikin also claimed to be an “anti-aging guru.” And again, as anyone who knows anything about Nathan Pritikin’s diet knows, alcohol is verboten.
The Ornish Diet is also deadset against alcohol. Why? When its argument is that it is good for the heart. That it can even “reverse” heart disease. Anything that can “reverse” heart disease is anti-aging. So Dr. Ornish’s claim makes him a bona fide anti-aging guru.
But surely the good and learned Dr. Ornish knows of the great body of peer-reviewed scientific research and evidence on wine’s dramatic protection against heart disease and stroke?
The same goes for Barry Sears of The Zone Diet who also wrote “The Anti-Aging Zone” and therefore qualifies as a bona fide anti-aging guru. Or at least claims to be one.
Now let’s give credit where credit is due. Pritikin and Ornish Diets are good for the heart. (Unlike The Atkins Diet, which is extremely bad, as a new study shows.)
But an eating program like The Elixxir Program is at least as good for your heart as Pritikin and Ornish and you don’t have to give up one of the great pleasures of life–for the rest of your life.
So do Pritikin and Ornish really have to be Prohibitionist to protect its customers from heart disease and stroke? The scientific answer is a resounding NO.
Dr. Ayala does not stand alone on this issue. Scientific research has shown again and again over decades that wine and alcoholic beverages in general provide very strong protection against heart attacks and strokes etc
Last but not least, there is ample evidence wine can extend average life span. That it is therefore anti-aging. So once again the 64 million dollar question: why are “anti-aging gurus” Atkins, Pritikin, Sears & Ornish hellbent against wine?
Elixxir (and The Elixxir Program) is apparently the only anti-aging guru who stands up for wine, Calvados, Champagne and its anti-aging, heart-protecting benefits.
