Baby Boomer Health – Drugs For Longer Life

Welcome to this weeks edition of Baby Boomer Health – Drugs For Longer Life

Show Notes:

Would you want to take a medication that would help to prevent multiple debilitating diseases and extend you life?  Most people would.  Well today two drugs are going through tests to see if they can fulfill that dream.  They have some evidence in mice that they do work.  But will they work in a human?  Only trials will tell but it looks promising.

They may extend life 5 to 10% and help to prevent diabetes, heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer.  Mice live longer with fewer diseases and just drop dead one day.

Life through pharmacology.  Is it possible?  Should we try it?
