How to Profit from the    Coming Revolution in Anti-Aging Science... Even If You Do Not    Invest    <\/p>\n<p>    Why not get involved in an emerging trillion dollar    industry... while developing technologies that are designed to    extend healthy lifespans by 25 years or more?  <\/p>\n<p>    My name is David Kekich. I founded and managed the biggest    marketing arm of a Fortune 500 life insurance company  until    an unfortunate accident changed the direction of my life thirty    two years ago. (It could also impact your life in a very    positive way.)  <\/p>\n<p>    then, I have devoted myself to a single passion:  <\/p>\n<p>    I have invested the remainder of my time  to say nothing of    considerable financial resources to advancing life extension    technologies. In other words, I understand the anti-aging    industry.    Over the past nine years, I helped build a world-class,    star-studded scientific team.  <\/p>\n<p>    As you will see in the following pages, there is a compelling    case to be made for the potential rewards for individuals who    embrace an appropriate and sound approach to this emerging    growth market.  <\/p>\n<p>    The Next Big Investment Sector    Can Make Early Participants Very Wealthy  <\/p>\n<p>    All it takes is one glance at the chart below to see where the    biggest money will be made in the health care field in the    years just ahead. Its going to be in treating and preventing    diseases and conditions related to AGING.  <\/p>\n<p>    U.S. Population Aged 80+  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>    It is still some time before Wall Street will put the full    force and power of their resources behind solutions to the    aging problem.  <\/p>\n<p>    But now, a world-class investment management team headed by the    former CEO of Citicorps pioneer venture group (he built it    into a $50 million fund that earned over $7 billion) has    set its sights on the opportunity.  <\/p>\n<p>    And the opportunity for you  reading this Special Report today     is twofold, because:  <\/p>\n<p>    1) You can be part of an elite inner circle who are on the    cutting edge of information and treatment as research postpones    the debilitating effects of aging by years or even decades; and  <\/p>\n<p>    2) You can participate financially with a group of unusually    dedicated and extraordinarily credentialed investment    professionals as they pursue maximum returns in this exploding    field of research and development.  <\/p>\n<p>    The prize is a longer and healthier life, coupled with    what could become the most important and exponentially    lucrative investment youve ever made.  <\/p>\n<p>    Aging: An Impossible Problem. Or the Ultimate    Opportunity?  <\/p>\n<p>    We all consider aging to be lifes ultimate reality. On our    birthdays, our friends often joke with us that its better    than the alternative!    Thats because, all our lives (and all throughout human history    up to this point), there has been no alternative to    aging and the symptoms and diseases of aging.    But you and I are fortunate to be living at the precise moment    in history when mankind is experiencing a veritable    explosion of science and technology.    Our entire world is changing virtually every day due to    exciting, breakthrough innovations in every industry  from    telecommunications to travel from computers to cars from    farming to pharmaceuticals and everything in between.    But nothing is more exciting, in my view, than the    technological advances that have already been made (and    continue to be made nearly every day) in the rapidly growing    science of anti-aging.    What Does Anti-Aging Really Mean?    First of all, dont let the term anti-aging (as its used and    abused today) fool you.    The science-based anti-aging industry emerging today is    qualitatively different. It targets products that will    substantially extend lifespan as well as make that lifespan    healthier  even for those with all the right lifestyle    habits including eating right and exercising regulary with    these Muscle    Building Workouts.    Today anti-aging is already a multi-billion dollar business     even though most of the products have little or no basis in    medical science. Many promoters mislead, exaggerate and make    false claims to sell to a market eager to hang on to their    youth.    The anti-aging were talking about isnt about snake oil;    its about the emerging (and serious) field of life-extension    medicine.    Anti-aging science is quickly coming of age and being    taken very seriously by esteemed universities,    respected research institutions, and giant pharmaceutical    companies.    Breakthroughs in Life Extension Are Already    Here    In fact, some new inventions and innovations in anti-aging    medicine have already proven themselves behind the closed doors    of our nations top research and testing agencies.    Theyre already here. They just havent been    released yet to the general public.    Thankfully, however, many of these breakthroughs dont take    as much time as do other health care innovations, such    as new drugs.    And because of the rapidly approaching urgency    and the looming, overwhelming demand for anti-aging    innovations, were soon going to see wave after wave    of anti-aging products getting introduced to a TRILLION-DOLLAR    world market of people who are literally dying to hold onto    their health, youth, beauty and vitality.    Its what we all want, actually. And now, thanks to    the unique research and marketing strategy weve developed here    at Maximum Life Foundation, you can learn    about the development and distribution of the very innovations    that will one day  very soon  benefit you    directly and help you lead a longer, healthier,    wealthier and happier life. SAP Training -    Training and certification in over 30 different SAP career    paths.  <\/p>\n<p>    This white paper will take you on a journey into the exciting    world of anti-aging science  and show you the virtually    unlimited opportunities that await savvy people like    you who get on board the train to the future and do it    now.  <\/p>\n<p>    Welcome aboard.        David A. Kekich        President, Maximum Life Foundation        January 2010  <\/p>\n<p>    One final note before we begin: I want you to know that    nearly all of my personal financial return from my activities    goes to The Maximum Life Foundation. In other words, Im    in this for the money  but not the way you think.  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>    Special Report on Life Extension    Technology        By David A. Kekich  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>    AGING: A Growing Problem    Becomes an Enormous Opportunity  <\/p>\n<p>    Its happening all over the world  <\/p>\n<p>    Imagine the potential profit  if you participated in even one    of these!    And our research is uncovering dozens of similar    opportunities.    Its no accident venture capitalists and major medical    companies are investing billions of dollars annually    in research leading toward the treatment and cure of    incurable diseases. Why? They readily recognize the upside to    such investment.    Today, the biggest returns  both to investors and to    individuals who want to live longer, healthier, and therefore    more productive lives  will come in the field of anti-aging    medicine.    And heres why:    Back in the year 2000, the number of Americans (for example)    aged 65 or older reached an estimated 35    million and accounted for almost 13    percent of the total U.S. population.    The rapidly aging U.S. population is very significant     especially when you consider the number of older Americans has    increased more than ten-fold since    the turn of the last century. This trend is mirrored in other    developed countries.    And, its projected to accelerate even faster over the    next 30 years.    This is both a problem and an    opportunity.    Its a problem because the diseases associated with aging will    put a tremendous burden on our health-care system (along with    the younger taxpayers who will have to foot the bill).  <\/p>\n<p>    The table below lists just a few of the adverse health    events that our older population is now experiencing  <\/p>\n<p>    Health events that increase with aging  <\/p>\n<p>        These aging-dependent chronic diseases and conditions are now    the most common forms of illness in the United States. Heart    disease and stroke alone account for almost 40% of all    deaths.  <\/p>\n<p>    Consider this chart  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>    Altogether, the groups of degenerative diseases we link to    aging are directly responsible for the deaths for roughly    75% of all deaths in the United States.  <\/p>\n<p>    Whats more, the list of diseases above has contributed to a    quadrupling of health care expenditures per person in    the U.S., rising from $1,067 in 1980 to $4,358 in 1999.  <\/p>\n<p>    By 2010, those expenditures are expected to double    again. Total national health expenditures are projected to    equal $2.6 trillion and reach 15.9 percent of the Gross    Domestic Product by 2010, up from 13 percent in 1999.  <\/p>\n<p>    Why?  <\/p>\n<p>    Its pure demographics. You see, the burgeoning number of baby    boomers in our society will begin to turn 65 in 2011. And by    2030, the proportion of the population 65 or older will be    one in five  or 70 million U.S. citizens.  <\/p>\n<p>    In the United States, the population 80 and older is currently    9.2 million (3.35 percent of the U.S. population). This    age segment is projected to grow to 14.9 million (4.4    percent of population) by the year 2025 and to 31.6    million (7.82 percent of population) by the year 2050.  <\/p>\n<p>    In other industrialized countries around the world, the    percentage of the population age 65 or older is even    higher than in the U.S. The percentage of population    over 65 in the United Kingdom, Italy and Japan is 24%, 44%    and 34% higher than in the United States, respectively.  <\/p>\n<p>    This is truly a growing problem, worldwide. And it cries out    for a solution.  <\/p>\n<p>    Fortunately, timing is on our side  because science    MAY NOW HAVE solutions to some of the age-related diseases    listed above.  <\/p>\n<p>    Happily, the catastrophic effects of such a huge percentage of    our population getting old and getting sick all at the same    time can now be virtually eliminated  IF the science of    anti-aging proceeds on the fast track and quickly    develops the treatments and cures to life-threatening (and    life-shortening) diseases we now passively accept.  <\/p>\n<p>    And thats what we at the Maximum Life Foundation are all    about: Helping to get anti-aging science into the    mainstream before its too late for you.  <\/p>\n<p>    Whether youre young or old, herein lays one of the major    investment opportunities of the 21st century.  <\/p>\n<p>    ANTI-AGING MEDICINE: An Emerging Solution  <\/p>\n<p>    Think about it  <\/p>\n<p>    If the illnesses and deaths weve been talking about were    preventable, shouldnt we stop them if we can?  <\/p>\n<p>    Let me put it another way: If a loved one (or yourself) had a    major medical condition such as cancer, heart disease or    suffered a stroke., wouldnt you ask that they (or you) receive    the very best medical care for those conditions?  <\/p>\n<p>    If there was a treatment that could reverse Alzheimers,    Parkinsons, osteoporosis, arteriosclerosis or diabetes who in    their right mind would turn it down?  <\/p>\n<p>    What ties all these diseases together is the underlying    processes of aging.  <\/p>\n<p>    But now, science is gradually coming to the realization that    aging itself could be classified as a disease. Why?    Because its not necessarily normal or inevitable for the    bodys vital organs to stop functioning properly. Scientists    now know that our cells could live and grow in the same    healthy manner as when we were in our 20s!  <\/p>\n<p>    Am I just blowing smoke?  <\/p>\n<p>    No.  <\/p>\n<p>    Heres the hard-core evidence that gives everyone involved in    anti-aging science so much cause for optimism  <\/p>\n<p>    How the EXPLOSION of Scientific Progress    Is Revolutionizing Our Lives  <\/p>\n<p>    To properly understand what Im about to share with you, you    need to know that the pace of scientific advancements    today far outstrips what you and I have been accustomed    to during our lifetime.  <\/p>\n<p>    Whereas science used to proceed at a snails pace, thats not    the case anymore. Now its approaching the speed of light!  <\/p>\n<p>    Its all because several sciences and technologies are finally    coming together and working synergistically on the    problems that face mankind.  <\/p>\n<p>    For instance, medical researchers are now able to use    supercomputers to speed up experiments that used to take    years. The key? Theyre using a new technology known as    bioinformatics.  <\/p>\n<p>    Bioinformatics is a computer-assisted data management    discipline that assists in accumulating, analyzing and    representing biological processes. Emerging in the 1990s, this    field is accelerating the drug discovery and development    process through in vitro (in test tubes) and in    vivo (in animals or humans) testing processes. Now theyre    adding in silico (computer simulations) to turbo charge    anti-aging science.  <\/p>\n<p>    The major task of bioinformatics is utilizing the power of    supercomputers to convert the complexity of the genetic codes    of the human genome into useful information and    knowledge that can be harnessed to understand the aging process    and its attendant diseases.  <\/p>\n<p>    The result? Faster and faster progress in the    anti-aging sciences  <\/p>\n<p>    Its not a surprise. In the modern era, our knowledge has been    advancing by quantum leaps compared to most of human    history. For instance, scientific knowledge doubled from the    year 1 A.D. to 1500 A.D. But by 1967, it doubled five more    times... and each time, faster than before.  <\/p>\n<p>    And several experts estimate that today, biotech knowledge    doubles about every 48 months. Some computer scientists    project that by 2010, scientific knowledge in general will    double every 100 days!  <\/p>\n<p>    Part of the reason? As I said, supercomputers,    like the kind now being used in bioinformatics. These computers    can do experiments in 15 seconds that used to take    years. Its no wonder were gaining on the aging problem so    fast!  <\/p>\n<p>    Heres another anti-aging advance: Newly    developed research tools called gene chips    can do tissue studies in hours  or even    minutes  that used to take years of animal    studies. These gene chips are actually laboratories on a    chip. Theyre simply amazing.  <\/p>\n<p>        But perhaps the most profound observation is the rate of change    itself is accelerating. This means the past is not a    reliable guide to the future. The 20th century was not    100 years of progress at todays rate but, rather, was    equivalent to about 20 years, because weve been speeding up to    current rates of change. And, well make another 20 years of    progress at the year 2000 rate, equivalent to that of the    entire 20th century, by 2014. Then well do it again by 2021.  <\/p>\n<p>        Because of this exponential growth, the 21st century will equal    20,000 years of progress at todays rate of progress     1,000 times greater than what we witnessed in the 20th century,    which in itself was no slouch for change.  <\/p>\n<p>        And youre probably aware that the power of technology per    dollar doubles every 12 months. This means our tools could be    1,000 times more powerful in just 10 years and a billion    times more powerful by 2035.  <\/p>\n<p>        On top of that, scientists just launched an emerging discipline    known as nanomedicine that will    revolutionize cell repair.  <\/p>\n<p>        In a nutshell, nanomedicine, the medical application of    nanotechnology, could eventually build or repair almost every    cell in the body, from the bottom up, atom-by-atom. It promises    to give us complete control of matter and a very efficient way    to cure aging damage, injuries and diseases.  <\/p>\n<p>        More Anti-Aging Breakthroughs  <\/p>\n<p>     For your    information, here are some of the anti-aging and life-extension    breakthroughs that took place just in the last few years  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>        That means someday, we could completely understand how the        human body works at the most basic level. This will greatly        speed up the time it takes to develop new treatments for        all diseases.      <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>        By understanding how eating less calories works to        extend life in something like yeast, scientists can use        this information to figure out the same pathway in humans.        Then, we could develop drugs to do the same thing. In fact,        Dr. Guarente co-founded Elixir Pharmaceuticals to do just        that, and now, several caloric restriction mimetics have        been discovered.      <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>        This is the first time drugs dramatically extended the        lifespan of a complex form of life. This could perhaps        result in a pill that would greatly extend your lifespan        and your healthspan.      <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>        Once again, turning the right genes on or off can        extend lifespan.      <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>        Stem cell research could eventually lead to        a        cell-by-cell replacement of the human        body,        substituting old cells with new young        cells.      <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>        With good gene therapy techniques, the same type of thing        might add about 30 years to our lives. Thats not an        exaggeration.      <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>        Resveratrol is now available as a supplement for human        consumption.      <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>    Theres more.  <\/p>\n<p>        Recently, a group at the University of    Wisconsin developed a technique to locate many genes    that are involved in the aging process in mice. This may    soon allow us to control the aging process itself.  <\/p>\n<p>        At Sierra Sciences, a biotechnology company,    researchers have been working on shutting off the cellular    aging clock, the telomere.  <\/p>\n<p>        There are far too many examples to list them all.  <\/p>\n<p>        What does all this research mean?  <\/p>\n<p>        Very simply this: With todays astonishing pace of scientific    progress, well most likely develop technologies in the    next 5 to 10 years in the lab that could eventually slow    aging to a crawl.  <\/p>\n<p>        Maybe halt it.  <\/p>\n<p>        Maybe even reverse it by 2029.  <\/p>\n<p>        And even before these technologies are translated to humans,    they will be worth BILLIONS.  <\/p>\n<p>        Where the Money Will Be Made in Life Extension    Technology  <\/p>\n<p>    Aside from the sheer humanitarian benefits of anti-aging    science and the promise of a disease-free, healthy and happy    society, theres also a lot of money to be made in this sector    for those who are savvy enough to see the trend and invest    early.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Link:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.maxlife.org\/whitepapers.asp\" title=\"Funding Aging Research for Life Extension and Human Longevity\">Funding Aging Research for Life Extension and Human Longevity<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Maximize investment returns while Minimizing risk and Maximize health and longevity in Minimum time.
