The meeting notice:

Hi All,

I will be teaching another aging science class for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (through UAF).  Anyone over 55 can sign up for $20; if you aren’t local I still urge you to sign up because it will also be offered over Zoom and is recorded so if you aren’t available when the class is held you can watch it at a later time.  As always, any questions you have feel free to write!

So very sorry I vanished last month; I got extremely over extended and just didn’t have the time to get things done for a meeting in January.  As I get deeper into XPrize, especially with trying to sell some of my real estate at the same time, my time may get even more compressed.  I will endeavor to do a better job of keeping ahead of stuff so I don’t get in another crunch, but no guarantees.

Last meeting slides & Video:

Here is the link to ours December meeting slides   

I have uploaded the video of the lecture to DefeatingAging.  

Feel free to write with any questions.  As always, you can click the links I have included to find more information.

Location: Online (I will email you the morning of the meeting with the link) or you can attend in person  at 3170 College Road Suite 7 (MUST be 5 minutes early).

Overseas/local update:

Argentina

Valentina: I added the link’s articles Ray has read throughout the month. (see below) 

Sri Lanka

We continue to work on finding a group (hospital, research group, etc) to do a clinical trial for us. But we are also beginning to explore other avenues, or perhaps even (gulp) do all the tons of paperwork and do it ourselves.

Siddha Medicine & Residences LLC is now a legal entity, and we will soon start using the company as the financial center of our efforts.

Dominican Republic

With Kraig spending the winter in Alaska, no progress to report!

United Kingdom

Merit points are now set up and we have been awarding them to people who contribute time or cash to our efforts.

Philippines

We are one step from having a company set up. 

United States

We have had a couple of people volunteer to work with us in the last few months; one of them didn’t work out and the other one sounds very enthusiastic so we are hoping she will work out.  She is in California and sent out an email asking to do volunteer work in the aging field, and we hope to put her to work on determining a diet that is nutritionally dense, yet fits in with the foods most Sri Lankan people eat.

I will also be talking briefly about our current standing in XPrize–we have “moved up” the list pretty significantly.

Things I read over the month that I found interesting:

• Study identifies 13 proteins strongly associated with brain aging
• Here are some commonly available dietary iron chelators : r/Hemochromatosis
• 10 Benefits of Grape Seed Extract, Based on Science
• There are at least 4 different ways of aging, scientists say
• Scientists Discover Key Protein That Could Reverse Vascular Aging
• Reversing Time From Within: Can Gut Bacteria Delay Aging?
• Protecting Your Kidneys and More: Scientists Identify New Benefits of Semaglutide and Ozempic
• Some Sedentary Activities Are Good For Brain Health – Neuroscience News
•  Heart failure is reversed with new gene therapy in animal study: ‘Unprecedented recovery’ | Fox News
•  Science Says Your Body Starts ‘Breaking Down’ Quicker at These 2 Ages
•  According to Researchers, Your Breathing Patterns Could Hold the Key to Better Memory
• Why VO2 Max May Be The Best Measure Of Fitness — And Life Expectancy – Worldcrunch
• Unclogging the immune system: Scientists use immunotherapy to remove aging cell buildup
• Unveiling the molecular mechanisms linking aging with neurodegenerative diseases
• Newly discovered mechanism reveals NAD’s role in aging and disease
•  Scientists Discover “Mortality Timer” Inside Our Cells

Sorry again about last month, and hope to see you at the meeting!
