While Li Ka-shing, Musk and other top tycoons are keen to invest in life science and technology research and enterprises, on the other hand, a group of people are fighting in the forefront of anti-aging with more radical methods.
Peter teale, the co-founder of Paypal, has been rumored to inject young people's blood frequently to exchange blood to fight aging. Although he himself denied this rumor at the 20 18 annual forum in The New York Times, he also publicly admitted that he was taking some kind of growth hormone medicine.
Allen Trevik, CEO of another biomedical company, believes that recombinant reagents can help people live longer. He once injected a cheap genetic drug developed by his company to treat herpes in public at a meeting of biological hackers, but two months later, he was found drowned in a spa.
Compared with some extreme ways mentioned above, the fitness master Kris Gethin, who is widely praised by Bollywood stars, has his own set of ideas about anti-aging, and his goal of longevity seems to be even more humble-"I want to live to 100 years old, but my body should be as healthy as it is now, and I can run and jump".
Kris Gethin often uses bathing red light, coffee enema, hyperbaric oxygen chamber, stem cell injection and faraday cage to fight aging. Among these methods, Gersin thinks that regular hyperbaric oxygen therapy can prevent telomere shortening and reduce our physiological age.
Not long ago, an experiment proved that hyperbaric oxygen chamber was effective in anti-aging. In 2020, Amir Hadani, a scientist from Israel, published a clinical trial in the journal Aging. In this experiment, 35 elderly people aged 64 and above were recruited to receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy once a day, five times a week, 60 times in a row. After hyperbaric oxygen therapy, in just three months, telomere length and aging cells, two key aging indexes of the elderly, reversed.
After receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the telomere length of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in the elderly increased by more than 20%, and the number of senescent cells decreased by 10-37%. After only three months of treatment, such remarkable telomere lengthening has been achieved, and the effect far exceeds any available intervention measures or lifestyle changes. From the telomere index, the subject was 25 years younger.
Coincidentally, on July 30th this year, the top international journal Science published a heavy study, revealing that enhancing the signaling pathway of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) can increase the healthy survival time of mice and prolong their life span by 50%. This strongly proves that the purpose of prolonging life can be achieved by enhancing VEGF signaling pathway and increasing angiogenesis.
Civil hyperbaric oxygen chamber can improve human blood oxygen content and improve human hypoxia. This in itself can promote angiogenesis in the human body and has certain anti-aging effect on the human body. Long-term high-pressure oxygen inhalation can not only improve metabolism and immunity, regulate sleep and spirit, but also have beauty beauty, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.
The results of this series of experimental studies have given the civil hyperbaric oxygen chamber a shot in the arm, and the civil hyperbaric oxygen chamber has mushroomed rapidly. However, due to the backward production technology of oxygen chambers in China, most oxygen chambers are still mainly made of steel, which requires high bearing capacity on the ground. Secondly, in terms of comfort, there is still some room for development of civil oxygen cabin.
O2 ARK oxygen cabin integrates the production and design technology of high-speed rail components of parent company "Qingdao Weiao Track Co., Ltd." into the production of oxygen cabin, breaking the limitations of traditional oxygen cabin and far exceeding peers in performance, safety and comfort. At present, O2 ARK oxygen cabin has been able to continuously produce oxygen cabins in the form of assembly line, highlighting the speed and quality of high-speed rail.
