Third AstraZenica dose, works and when


 

The latest link

I only care for empirical experimental proof whenever theoretical derivation might fail. This is true for the third dose. It is theoretically likely that 3rd dose will improve immunity but


1. will it empirically?

2. who should get it?

3. expected consequences of not doing it?

4 What benefits?

5 When is vaccine best?


Answers follow, only collected by me for this research, none mine original research.


1. will it empirically?

Yes!

A third dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine is found to boost immune response.

Third dose of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine boosts immune response, Oxford study finds.



2. who should get it

All doctors in front line. All immunodeficient like me from long stay outside the country in USA, very concerned with cleanliness and hence Covid-19 compromised by hygiene theory.

Very Important- I just preceded Dr. Guleria, director AIIMS. He wants you to get 3rd dose, calls it booster dose. He never limited it, I agree!

3. expected consequences of not doing it?

Get Covid-19, likely non-fatal, as no repeated infection like front line doctors. So concerned that I instructed no hospital reporting unless urgent, treat with oxygen generator at home!


4 What benefits?

Escape even mild infection as further compromised by diabetes and hence looking at fungus infect5ions post recovery. Not so conservative to be anti-vaccine, IE be brain-compromised too.


5 When?

UK work says best gap for second has a sweet spot after 6 weeks. So also third after 2nd, but 6 months. Works out to Nov 1. Time enough to more empirical data and find a station.


6 what vaccine is best?

Theoretical arguments say AstraZeneca. No empirical data yet on another kind despite ongoing trials.


7 Postscript Sept 2, 2021

Americans strongly urge and vaccinate free with booster dose of their mRNA vaccines. so does UK with Astragenica, It is liberal-style mandated.


Compact aging rejuvenation

 



The latest link

Follows and summarizes this, a definite precursor

A common all-intelligent problem is what to read given the number of authors and their interests. Aging is particularly rife with stupids claiming wisdom. Here is my solution to this universal problem limited to Aging. Construct a list of major contributors who acted scientifically (empirical proofs, recursively all assumptions, repeated). Read as per recommended. Works often because scientists are generally aloof to commercial interests, if not a research funder. Unlikely for them to fail to recommend disruptive.

For aging, my list beyond me is Dr. de Grey (saint, Senolytics, vitaDAO), Dr. Sinclair (resveratrol, NMN, NO), Dr Horvath (DNAm, GrimAge, Eutherians), Drs. Conboy (dissimilar parabiosis, Not Proteins but dilution), Dr. Fahy (Age gain), Dr. Yamanaka (factors) and Dr. Malone (mRNA).

Having a stable rejuvenation base itself, a very tall claim. Because it implies that aging has been understood, paradigms of rejuvenation have been understood to the point of deciding what research and developments to track and self apply. New disruptive paradigms will arise, but they can be contrasted and checked and pursued if explicitly recommended. A lot of research can be safely ignored absent disruption claims (which can be rapidly checked). Every researcher thinks they are relevant, and the hardest job of a person is to separate wheat from chaff, my approach is ignoring all but some paradigms.

For Aging, developments using liposome will eliminate mostly need for Doctors. Injection use will drop much.

Why bother with what you say?

It is being done to

1. Provide a common thread for subsequent aging interventions

2. Is stable enough to serve as a base

3. Provide references to all 20 years research that led to this stable base

4. Explain new terminology I introduce, for rapid access to underlying ideas

5. Explains why 2021 is necessa4y for this essay. That provides a base date for referring to future developments.

What rejuvenation paradigms I consider worth not ignoring?

The simplest way is to list some names and understand their paradigms to the point of understanding it as science and then argue, if it is important, why has the no notable not referenced it. This works without fail unless some notables disagree when your own resolution makes sense. The list of notables is dynamic and individual, my list is a starter.

What are my paradigms, in words, not numbers?

The bone paradigm is benefits to the bones. It intersects with blood paradigm because same chemicals like k1 and k2 work on better bones and widening blood channel improvements.

The blood paradigm collects all methods that deliver chemicals using blood or improve blood delivery by operating on endothelial cells or heart pumping. These include three major topics, NAD+ boosting with NR, NMN, NADH, NAD+; SASP and senescent cell removal by Senolytics; Resveratrol or Pterostilbene and other nitric oxide methods; Dilution of blood, filtering and dialysis for aging.

Next paradigm is organ improvement without replacing them, Top methods are Yamanaka like factors (OSKM, OSK, OSKLN,…) administered in cyclic dilute form and immunotherapy; and immunotherapy. Included in immunotherapy are methods for creating white cells and rejuvenation of the thymus. The improvements may be in vivo; or cells drawn, fixed and returned after in-lab processing. Immunotherapy and mRNA drugs and vaccine require boost to white cells and thymus that fail after 65. It will be done by Dr. Fahy method and by lab grown white blood cell made from patient marrow.

The final paradigm is external growth of organs and replacing entire organs with externally grown ones, compatible because populated by consumer's own cells.

300 years have elapsed by now. What comes next? I do not know. Cyborg transfer next?

Why 2021 is necessary for this essay?

The decade after 2000 saw dissimilar age parabiosis which erroneously suggested magic proteins in young blood. Mistaken suggestion exposed by v2020 and dilution okayed in dilution trial. Dr. De Grey did a stable top level deaging design and invented senolytics concept. Dr. Sinclair discovered resveratrol and discovered NMN in 2010 decade. Horvath discovered epigenetic marks tale. In current decade, showed the tables applied in eutherians. Dr. Sinclair found aging was a universal property of eutherians life by being related to efficiency of correct DNA copy in cell duplication. Supported by similar aging in organs and eutherians wide. He was able to age deferentially in twins and reactivate a not-possible adult mouse crushed optic nerve. Yamanaka did Nobel quality work to OSKM iPSC cells from any. Horvath defined his clock, grimAge, Eutheria applicability. Fahy did only Age-gain clinical FDA accepted trial. Malone discovered mRNA vaccines.

Before 2021, Eutheria applicability of Horvath clock was in the future. One can not extend Dr. Sinclair to Eutheria, IE most land animals, but marsupials like kangaroo. This is an empirical clincher.

OSKLN investigations - the promise

 



What is this and why important?

Yamanaka factors are OSKM (Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, cMyc ) and experimentally medicine applications do well with just as well without M which makes the mix cancerous sometimes. New adds are LN for salts nanog and Lin28. The OSKM are sufficient, but too slow in conversions to iPSC. The mix OSKLN does it fast. If M (cMyc) is removed, then full conversion of, say B cells, can be shown to be impossible. It is important for commercial applications.

Immunotherapy?

Let me now explain simple anatomy important to understand immunotherapy which is the primary development in the past decade and is a radical revolutionary disruptive Paradigm change fundamentally different from modern medicine, critical to cancer remedies and aging. That solution is fundamentally genetics and molecular biology, far better understood by medical students struggling with basic biology. Every doctor not in research is lost.

Working of immune system?









Simple Anatomy of Immune system?

Immune system is every where and adaptive Immune system is found in all jawed vertebrate. Blood is made up of red blood cells RBC, platelets and white blood cells WBC. Basic to any top level blood work is complete blood count CBC. Human immune white cells are of five coarse type. One WBC is tied to Thymus and divides into subtypes of B cells and T cells. B cells are less powerful than T cells who can become adaptive by reprogramming. The genesis of T cells is from marrow of the bones. Thymus, i8n all vertebrate suffers from involution and is a blob of fat by adult mood. Cells already made live on, but by age 65 start turning into blobs of fat and dying a process complete by 80. The ability to fight infection plummets and large fraction is dead in less hygienic world. In developed world with modern cleanliness, infection rates are lower. Covid-19 breaks cleanliness rules and infected developed world far more than less developed with much greater immunity conferred by lot more forced immunothereapy use in fighting infections missing in developed! Even in India, one can see lot more impact in richer states.

Universal visits after 1000 years, tech-fi



consciousness download

Tech-fi is my neologism, to indicate, unlike sci-fi, that no new science is postulated, no contradiction to current laws assumed,  it is fiction solely because of cost or time reasons.

Singularity, bio age increment 1+ year per calendar year, happened in mid-part of century 21. Path to this date is expected in 2022 by E5 od Dr. Katcher.

Here I assume the development of MIT technology to a form that allows the reading and writing of brains, and hence the cyborg instantiation. Extrasolar travel at light speed is possible for the bits. Only a receiver at the other end is needed to receive the bits and transfer them into the cyborg. Within the solar system, receive/send stations are ubiquitous per planet. The stations are moved slow, way under light-speed over 1000s of years across to Extrasolar stars and millions of years between galaxies. Does not bother the near-infinite year life humans.

The expansion can be done at an under-light speed too. Think of the enormous boredom of the human. Travel at light speed as bits has a deep Einstein reason, regardless of universe time elapse, the time spent by photons is zero! Travel to any destination is possible.

Truly tech-fi things are possible! There is a limited visibility cone at any point, which happens when the receding velocity of outermost galaxies exceeds the velocity of light. Henceforth, they do not exist. Depending on the rate of expansion of space, a reception station set may also be in them. Then one can travel at light speed to them since there might be receiving stations from which still visible. This happens till the space expansion velocity is still small compared to light! But the expansion seems to accelerate with time. Some future me will have to give up then.

Reversal of epigenetic aging

 


The latest link

video link

TWO and HALF HOUR Sinclair to Rogan video If you can listen (very listenable) do so because it covers several of my ideas over 2 years, you will be amazed at how close and prescient I am. If you took my stuff as fiction, it is not. I listened and learned that my loss of faith in ever curing osteoarthritis is bullshit because a cure is in FDA-2. I was sure that heart fix and diabetes fix is just around the corner. But I know that osteoarthritis forces people to get surgical hips and knees and lifelong trouble after that. I had even started on coming death and legacy issues. Just cheerful life after this.

I have visible enormous contempt for all non-empirical statements about all science subjects and very accommodating attitude (secular ?) on political subjects except visible contempt if science misquoted or undue criticism, example being putting up posters attacking Modi for diverting our children vaccine to foreigners. The key point addressed here is science of aging, meaningful only if objective measurements can be made to objective human age correlates.

 Aging becomes a science subject only because Horvath pioneered DNAm (methylation) epigenetic age correlates to calendar age at 0.98 level, reductions correlate with increased life and Grim age (years to natural death) have equally strong correlation. From my POV (point of view), reduction in epigenetic age is basic to any sane claims. Only experimental correlations, no child born is aged like any parent, can only happen in Dr. Sinclair theory of Aging being directly related to DNA repair success, given the large number of cells in any organ statistically, the aging does not vary, experimentally found by Dr. Horvath in all parts of human body and in all Eutheria!

Clearly then "Reversal of epigenetic aging" demonstrations are real valuable science, all others are emfubar waste of time and deserves criminal proceedings and not "normal human differences" or "turn the other cheek"!

 HGH trial

HGH stands for Human growth hormone, in which IGF-1 is the major relevant component (Insulin-like Growth factor) . It has many detractors, despite favor with some Silicon Valley billionaires, from whose experience, the precipitation of diabetes was found. Dr. Gregory M. Fahy got the idea of clinical test of HGH and simultaneous anti-diabetes medication of DHA and metformin. The test was really doctor hand holding for not only longevity properties but also determine cancer properties and individual ADJUSTED dose. Four DNAm ages were used. Even Grim age was measured.The four ages were strongly correlated.

The following 3 observations, modulo the small elected (all 50-65 males, racially similar) does suggest

1. Extended trial starting now of TRIIM will be the clincher. Results due October 2022

2. HGH likely cancer safe

3. Diabetes properly handled

I still have a problem. The benefits could have come from metformin and DHEA. NO one has tested them in isolation! TAME, measures effectiveness of metformin, conceived in 2015 raised 75M $ recently and starts about now. 6 years as no drug co interested and FDA does not consider Aging a disease, every $ donation. Still, thyroids did change, shedding some fat, in favor of  T cell regrowth in Aged, accelerated gain in reduced age towards the end. Enough evidence for Bio-hacker me.

    My concerns are not for me the bio-hacker. Worst case, HGH is a waste. No one else has ideas to fix the thymus! Results of the Epigenetic Aging Reversal Clinical Trial, the researchers observed an increase in the size of the functional thymic mass following treatment, which is consistent with a reversal of immunosenescence.

Potential reversal of epigenetic age using a diet

 Manipulations to slow biological aging and extend health span are of interest given the societal and healthcare costs of our aging population. Herein, we report on a randomized controlled clinical trial conducted among 43 healthy adult males between the ages of 50-72. The 8-week treatment program included diet, sleep, exercise and relaxation guidance, and supplemental probiotics and phytonutrients. The control group received no intervention. Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis was conducted on saliva samples using the Illumina Methylation Epic Array, and DNAm Age was calculated using the online Horvath DNAm Age clock (2013). The diet and lifestyle treatment was associated with a 3.23 years decrease in DNAm Age compared with controls (p=0.018). DNAm Age of those in the treatment group decreased by an average 1.96 years by the end of the program compared to the same individuals at the beginning, with a strong trend towards significance (p=0.066). Changes in blood biomarkers were significant for mean serum 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (+15%, p=0.004) and mean triglycerides (-25%, p=0.009). To our knowledge, this is the first randomized controlled study to suggest that specific diet and lifestyle interventions may reverse Horvath DNAm Age (2013) epigenetic aging in healthy adult males. Larger-scale and longer duration clinical trials are needed to confirm these findings, as well as investigation in other human populations.

 

BEST Refereed overview of aging, very strongly recommended, official USA government stands behind it.

A ride through the epigenetic landscape: aging reversal

Epigenetics plays a significant role, and several epigenetic interventions can modulate lifespan. This review will explore the interplay between epigenetics and aging, and how epigenetic reprogramming can be harnessed for age reversal. In vivo partial reprogramming holds great promise as a possible therapy, but several limitations remain.

 Interesting lifespan.io link. What is discussed are Yamanaka factors.

The Road to Reversing Epigenetic Aging | Lifespan.io

In their study, the researchers claim that the cellular memory erasure and the resetting of epigenetic aging markers can be separated because the reversal of aging markers happens first in the reprogramming process; in other words, they believe that if they can expose cells just long enough to the reprogramming factors, it should be possible to reverse their epigenetic aging without resetting their type, which would obviously be bad news inside your body.

 My summary is limited Arya-Aging-test evidence. Only one likely winner, even that unclear. End of next year, limited doctors will understand evidence. Enough for bio-hacker me, but I will not recommend it to anyone. For me safe, questionable efficacy, muddled weak evidence. HGH is not a poison, but controllable poison, HGH seems to stop with adulthood because it precipitates aging that metformin and DHEA prevent. Grandparents seem to have evolutionary purpose, else why would evolution care to make low diabetes persons more survivable past reproduction!

The Language of Modern Medicine


It is weird but used by smart people and requires understanding, despite stupidities as per you. First is to adopt evolution, whether you believe or not (IE an emfubar moron, but said softly) for it forms the basis of cladistics classification of life, and you will not understand why evolution never discovered other way to build DNA and why vertebrates had a feature essential to life (immune system) as complex as us.

Never mind the enormous naming of cladistics. Very few are relevant to top level biology, essential to understand rejuvenation. You need to understand some, to answer the trivial question of why this way, and not another. Further, a very number of unsavory morons will seek to establish their way as the right one, often in fake but devilishly clever sale methods. As a general rule, the mention of any trademarked terms is a definite clue to a commercial emfubar, not intellectual discussion! Avoid when possible such characters, forever, once identified, avoiding discussion in sweet irrelevant talk!

The classifications essential are

Eukaryote to understand the generality of Dr. Sinclair DNA theory, IE why it applies to all life

Vertebrate to understand immune system and mRNA

Thymus the small gland in the chest that forms part of the immune system, undergoes involution that ends in youth after making it a useless fat blob, and is the people killer aged 65 to 80 years (90%) in the entire species, irrespective of economic or technology development. Fascinating story of immune system and vaccines.

 Immune system

There is growth of a vast new area in medical therapy called immunotherapy in the last six years that is closely tied to vaccines, cancers, aging and largely unknown to doctors as it is closely linked to mRNA, applicable to cancer, aging and cures for persistent illnesses. 

All vertebrates have the cell DNA min the nucleus sac within a cell. A signal molecule causes the responsive gene sequence to be copied into one-sugar different mRNA which one way exits the nucleus sac. After uniting with a rbosome, it forms the protein that exits the cell. The mRNA itself dies by self fast or slow, In in some cases it exits the cell. Outside are innate B cells that are preprogrammed to eat mRNA, But some immune systems have T cells. They eat mRNA but also mark the remainder as evil and foreign. They develop appetite for things expressing this sequence too,

-----------------------------------------------------------

Tthe essential story is outlined here, otherwise you can not understand why it took me 20 years of research and why best science work in rejuvenation that is far more than sci-fi, and a tech-fi as per me. To summarize, rejuvenation extends my life to 300 years, First two, called rejuvenation1/2 consist of 4/3 steps each

 rejuvenation1.1: NAD+ boost, Otherwise NAD+ and strength continuously decline with age

 rejuvenation1.2: SASP reduction by senolytes, otherwise some cancer gets you, or SASP use up NAD

 rejuvenation1.3: Blood vessel toning, else external skin shrinks and folds

rejuvenation1.4: Fix bones else osteoarthritis to osteoporosis

rejuvenation2.1: YAMANAKA factor drugs and supplements

rejuvenation2.2: Dialysis like Drs, Conboy filters and dilution

rejuvenation2.3: Aging vaccines and mRNA drugs

This is just a summary so far. You are programmed to die in next year to 15 years from now, 90% of you. 40 of us will be in 80s. 2 or 3 will cross 100. I want to be one. I will if I take 7 steps above, most certainly one if TRIIM develops fast as it might, given Dr. Greg Fahy leads the charge. He is the ONLY doctor who has met my test - decrease some reputable Bioage (decrease as much as calendar age or more), He did 1.4 years gain in 1 year elapse, in 2018, in FDA clinical trial on males aged 50 to 65. This time, both sexes, 40 to 80, much bigger sample. He operates on the thymus. This is rejuvenation 1..3. I fight wi6th self on thymus supplements as built out of calf thymus extracts. Kill the calf or harvest thymus - to be found.

Steps taken by Dr. Fahy

For the purpose of TRIIM  (Thymus Regeneration, Immunorestoration, and Insulin Mitigation) here is the paper.

Reversal of epigenetic aging and immunosenescent trends in humans

First published: 08 September 2019

Epigenetic “clocks” can now surpass chronological age in accuracy for estimating biological age. Here, we use four such age estimators to show that epigenetic aging can be reversed in humans. Using a protocol intended to regenerate the thymus, we observed protective immunological changes, improved risk indices for many age-related diseases, and a mean epigenetic age approximately 1.5 years less than baseline after 1 year of treatment (−2.5-year change compared to no treatment at the end of the study). The rate of epigenetic aging reversal relative to chronological age accelerated from −1.6 year/year from 0–9 month to −6.5 year/year from 9–12 month. The GrimAge predictor of human morbidity and mortality showed a 2-year decrease in epigenetic vs. chronological age that persisted six months after discontinuing treatment. This is to our knowledge the first report of an increase, based on an epigenetic age estimator, in predicted human lifespan by means of a currently accessible aging intervention.

Thymus Regeneration by Immuno-restoration by IGH-1

Insulin Mitigation by DHEA and metformin.

 Every one benefitted, some by 6.5 years. No one published real death data, Grim age improved. Results summarized next.
A primary concern in this study was whether increased levels of a mitogen (IGF-1) might exacerbate cancerous or precancerous foci in the prostate. Both of these changes should be detectable by measuring PSA or percent free PSA levels. However, PSA, percent free PSA, and the ratio of PSA to percent free PSA, an overall index of prostate cancer risk, improved significantly by day 15 of treatment and remained favorably altered to the end of 12 months (Figure 1a–c). A brief spike in PSA at 6 months in two volunteers was rapidly reversed and, after volunteer consultation, was interpreted as reflecting sexual activity close to the time of PSA testing. No change in testosterone levels was observed

Growth Hormone

 HGH (encouages IGF-1) has been taken by some Silicon Valley billionaires. Based on their experience, the drawbacks of HGH were realized (causes mild diabetes, may cause cancer). The trial dismisses cancer fears and contains anti-diabetes.

Evolution view

All vertebrates suffer from programmed involution. Why? Why does evolution be against long life for anyone? A minority view, those willing to an opinion point to enormous energy in making T cells. This happens with rising expense for sexual maturity. So the evolution survivor inherit sexual maturity over T cells! How recapture energy for some residual T cells? HGH of course with drawbacks filled. Many HGH dangers are not evident.

Human growth hormone (HGH): Does it slow aging? - Mayo Clinic

 AN effective warning! However, while muscle mass and bone applications attract all fears and no proof of anti-aging ( diabetes itself reduces life), only Thymus benefits are believed by me as a bio-hacker who prints out warnings as well. This is the only effective test known, being repeated, even though I believe in mayo protocol for SASP and that Dr. Sinclair is 10 years bioage younger (known), good blood channels and all this due to his diet and efforts.

 Fact is HGH causes lot more trouble as aging fix, bad idea used so, but the only bioage reversal can not be swept under the rug! For all my fears, based on a minority theory of programmed reduction, I do believe it as a shot, but only as a biohacker.

Cover letter

 


My best, you can tell after read, aware of quality. Put in a lot of effort for it lays out a program for next 20 years at least, since it is no more understanding aging but rejuvenation – how to defeat aging for a healthy aging where age is just a number. I am confident about 100 years, hopeful about the next 200, and as yet, clueless about 700 years after that. My confidence is based on strict scientific basis where mechanism has been empirically found, products are starting, and I can fit in some niche, most likely as a Liposome form builder. The market is boundless.


vitaDAO is the latest Dr. de Grey effort, all glory and luck to him, for his success in its launch will also work for all future DAO launch template and change motivation from money and control to use of the product!


Read on then. I consider the latest write-up as a rational overview of many elements into a coherent whole for rejuvenation and products for it. Theory is done, empirical work starts, starting with company relations and getting starting materials for value add and selling.


Please help me, never financially, by asking me any question or even tip you may have or like to see. This completion is of my tapasya, changing from hands off theoretical unconcerned scientist to caring, helpful, concerned producer.
