-The biological basis of aging (also known as senescence) is the subject of debate. A number of theories suggest aging is inevitable, the product of "wear and tear" or a result of some evolutionary necessity. For example, Skulachev argues that aging performs a specific biological function, with the turnover in new members of a species promoting greater evolutionary fitness.(({{pubmed>long:9467841}})) One of the longstanding problems of such theories is that they fail to account for dramatically different lifespans, or for the fact that chronic diseases are identical in presentation to diseases of the aging. We have a lot to learn about 'diseases of the aging'.+The biological basis of aging (also known as senescence) is the subject of debate.

 <blockquote>Aging is a super-category. We’ve gradually lumped together more and more symptoms under the category of natural aging. Many of these symptoms are the same as those caused by diseases that surely have an infectious cause. In that sense, you could view much of what we now call aging as an incapacitating illness that leads to a decrease in function. We know that inflammation and the interaction of the immune system with pathogens can destroy tissue. So it’s not surprising that the tissues of a person who harbors a lot of pathogens would age earlier and alter their biological structure earlier in life. I do believe it is inevitable that people will eventually die of old age, but I suspect that this should generally happen when they are 80-100 years old. But we are increasingly seeing signs of aging-related diseases in people who are much younger. <blockquote>Aging is a super-category.

 Could the chronic inflammation associated with aging be caused by pathogens? Given the crudeness of tools now used to measure microbes and the ubiquity of the human microbiota, this seems like a reasonable if not inevitable conclusion as the early studies have begun to suggest.  Could the chronic inflammation associated with aging be caused by pathogens?

Unlike the wildtype controls, VDR KO mice lose their ability to swim after 6 months of age. Expression of all the genes was lower in old VDR KO mice, but only NF-kappaB, Fgf-23, p53 and IGF1R were significantly lower. Since the phenotype of aged VDR knockout mice is similar to mouse models with hypervitaminosis D(3), our study suggests that VDR genetic ablation promotes premature aging in mice, and that vitamin D(3) homeostasis regulates physiological aging. <blockquote>Overall, VDR KO mice showed several aging related phenotypes, including poorer survival, early alopecia, thickened skin, enlarged sebaceous glands and development of epidermal cysts....

-===== Read more =====+Cell membranes are primarily made up of two types of lipids — phospholipids and glycolipids. Inside cells, these lipids bind to a molecule called CD1d that transports them to the surface. Once there, phospholipids stimulate phospholipid-reactive T cells, and glycolipids stimulate a different type of T cell called iNKTs.

Men who had declines in testosterone were more likely to be those who became obese, had stopped smoking or were depressed at either clinic visit.+On their way to the cell’s surfacephospholipids more easily attach themselves to CD1d molecules, making it more difficult for glycolipids to attach to CD1dBecause of thisit is harder for glycolipids to make it to the surface of the cell. This means that iNKTs cannot be as easily stimulated by glycolipids.
  
 +Scientists believe iNKT cells are necessary because they appear to protect cells against the progression of certain cancers and autoimmune diseases. However, iNKT cells are extremely active and can cause alcoholic hepatitis or other types of liver diseases if they are overstimulated. The phospholipid’s ability to more easily bind to CD1d molecules than glycolipids keeps a balance between the two cell types and maintains homeostasis in the immune system.   (({{pmid>long:30508304}}))

-In August 2002, Trevor Marshall and Frances  Marshall published a NetPrint about valsartan (Diovan), in which they reported that the once daily dosing of the ARB caused psychedelic dreams and psychotic events in two sarcoidosis patients. On the theory that these symptoms were caused by changes in plasma concentration, the frequency of the dosing of ARB was increased, which ended up reducing symptoms of disease including psychedelic dreams. This early insight into ARBs anti-inflammatory effects led Marshall to conclude that for an ARB to provide symptomatic relief, it was necessary to use more frequent dosing than typical. Professor Marshall would later go on to recommend frequent dosing of another ARBolmesartan. +

-Cawthorn et al examined the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telomere|telomeres]] of 143 people over the age of 60.(({{pubmed>long:12573379}})) Telomeres are DNA sequences on the ends of chromosomes that are gradually lost as cells replicate. The team found that those with shorter telomeres in blood DNA had significantly poorer survival, attributable in part to a 3.18-fold higher mortality rate from heart disease and, tellingly, a 8.54-fold higher mortality rate from infectious disease. +Cawthorn et al examined the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telomere|telomeres]] of 143 people over the age of 60.(({{pmid>long:12573379}})) Telomeres are DNA sequences on the ends of chromosomes that are gradually lost as cells replicate.

 A number of the sickest patients on the Marshall Protocol, who are killing intracellular bacteria at the fastest rate possible, take over three years to completely recover their health. This hints at the large amount of pathogen-altered DNA that many people, even those who are not yet displaying the hallmarks of Th1 disease, are carrying. A number of the sickest patients on the Marshall Protocol, who are killing intracellular bacteria at the fastest rate possible, take over three years to completely recover their health.

 People who haven’t completed the MP consider it inevitable that as they age, they will need to stock up on any number of medications including thyroid medications, cardiac meds, statins, NSAIDS, B/P meds, etc. But people who have reached the later stages of the MP see no reason why they cannot take their level of healing to a maximum – to a point where they will never need these medications and may experience great health during their elder years. People who haven’t completed the MP consider it inevitable that as they age, they will need to stock up on any number of medications including thyroid medications, cardiac meds, statins, NSAIDS, B/P meds, etc. But people who have reached the later stages of the MP see no reason why they cannot take their level of healing to a maximum – to a point where they will never need these medications and may experience great health during their elder years.
