William H Andrews, J Yoga Phys Ther 2018, Volume 8 DOI: 10.4172/2157-7595-C1-001 4th World Chinese Medicine, Yoga & Mental Health Congress September 17-18, 2018 | San Diego, USA William H Andrews Sierra Sciences, USA I think, therefore i am young elomere lengths are rapidly becoming the best measure of aging that the field has ever seen. Telomeres are found at the Ttips of our chromosomes and have been shown to shorten as we age. Recent studies by my lab and others have shown that lengthening telomeres reverses aging and declining health in human cells grown in culture as well as in engineered mice. Treatments to lengthen telomeres in humans do not exist yet. In the meantime, studies suggest that slowing down the rate of telomere shortening slows down the rate of aging and extends human healthspan and lifespan. One of the most powerful ways to slow down the rate of telomere shortening has been shown in scientific peer-reviewed studies to be through yoga and meditation. The mechanism of action of mindfulness on the rate of telomere shortening is still being investigated, but I plan to describe the studies that have already been done and those that are in progress to show the strong correlation that exists. Mindfulness through yoga and meditation may be one of the best things we can do to stay young and healthy for as long as possible. Biography William H Andrews has worked in the biotech industry for 34 years focusing the last 22 years on finding ways to extend human lifespan through the intervention of telomere shortening in human cells. While Director of Molecular Biology at Geron Corporation, he was one of the principal discoverers of both the RNA and protein components of human telomerase and was awarded 2nd place as “National Inventor of the Year” in 1997 for this work. He is presently a named inventor on 46 US issued telomerase patents. He earned his PhD in Molecular and Population Genetics at the University of Georgia in 1981. He was a Senior Scientist at Armos Corporation and Codon Corporation, Director of Molecular Biology at Codon and at Geron Corporation, Director of Technology Development at EOS Biosciences. He is presently the founder and Vice President of Research of Sierra Sciences, a biotech company in Reno, Nevada focused exclusively on inducing the expression of telomerase in human cells. bandrews@sierrasci.com Notes: Journal of Yoga & Physical Therapy | ISSN: 2157-7595 | Volume 8 Page 26.

Lengthened Telomeres Restore Immune System to a Younger State
Dear friend, you are presumably here to find out more information on TA-65 telomeres and telomerase. This page contains just a small amount of what I have written about the topics but, many times the questions I get are the same. Here you will find the answers to many of the more frequently asked questions that I could not cover on the TA-65 page. Please note: I kept many of them in “post format” as they were originally published on the internet. Lengthened telomeres restore immune system to a younger state New study is the first ever Peer-Reviewed Report of a Telomerase Activator taken by live humans. New York, NY (September 8, 2010) — A pioneering study published in the Rejuvenation Research Journal today shows that TA-65, a natural Telomerase Activator made and marketed by Telomerase Activation Sciences, Inc. (“T.A. Sciences”), reduces the percentage of short telomeres in immune cells and restores and remodels the aging human immune system to be more like that of a younger individual. The year-long study of the first 100 clients of T.A. Sciences found that TA-65, a nutritional supplement marketed only through specialized doctors, had been successful in lengthening shortened telomeres. Telomeres are sequences of DNA, located at the ends of all chromosomes, which serve as cellular clocks of aging. Every time a cell divides, telomeres shorten until they become critically short, and the cell either stops functioning properly or dies. By activating a gene that is normally turned off, TA-65 has been shown to activate the enzyme telomerase.

You may be surprised to learn that aging has not existed forever. Approximately four and a half billion years ago, a single cell came into existence that was the progenitor of every living organism that has existed on our planet ever since. This single cell did not age; it had the capacity to divide indefi nitely. It could produce an infi nite number of copies of itself, and it would not die until some outside environmental event, such as an erupting volcano, killed it. The ancestry of every living cell in your body can be traced back to this very fi rst cell. This lineage is called the cell ’ s germ line . Three billion years after the fi rst cell appeared, some of the cells from this germ line began to form multicellular organisms, such as worms, insects, fi sh, and fi nally humans. The germ line was passed from one generation to the next, and it remained immortal. Even with the inclusion of multicellular organisms, the germ line itself showed no signs of aging. 21 CCH001.inddH001.indd 2211 110/21/100/21/10 88:14:29:14:29 PPMM 22 the immortality edge However, the cells that form the body of an organism, called somatic cells , began to age.

A Scientifically Proven Cure for Aging
Why We Age ... and the Science Behind it Copyrighted: ONE TRUTH Australia Pty Ltd For further information and to get the latest information on this technology, go to www.onetruth818.com.au Introduction – The Quest It’s 2009, Reno, Nevada. Dr. Bill Andrews stood wide-eyed with wonder. With his tall, ultra- marathon runner's frame bent over the instruments and computer screens inside his obscure laboratory, he and his team of fellow scientists checked and re-checked their extraordinary readings. The computers were not lying. They had indeed 'hit the jackpot’, or, at the very least, reached an extraordinary beacon in Andrew’s quest for the 'holy grail' - a real, proven cure for aging. That day, the PhD in Molecular Biology stood staring at the 314,818th molecule his laboratory had tested in the search for a compound that would slow down the human aging process. He marveled at the fact that the new molecule was three hundred times more powerful in stopping human aging than anything yet known to science. Little knowing that his life was about to change drastically due to this miraculous little unit, Andrews named it ‘CO314818’. George Bernard Shaw famously said: “Youth is wasted on the young”. This becomes true for most people in their late 30s and older, when the body’s messages of steady decline become only too apparent - deep lines, sagging, looser skin, ‘crow’s feet’ around the eyes. Usually the quest to halt this process starts in earnest now, often without sparing costs on surgical procedures and cosmetic products. Unfortunately for the consumer, keeping up with the Kardashians is lucrative business - there’s much money to be made off people’s insecurities.

DTo study cause and effect of this correlation, human intervertebral discs be treated in a clinical study with a gene therapy that delivers the telomerase gene to the cells of the disc to produce telomerase activity and lengthen the cell’s telomeres. Effects on disc size and back pain be measured as well as telomerase activity and telomere lengths. The role of telomere shortening and aging related syndromes (called telomeropathies).The lengthening of telomeres with the enzyme telomerase has been well documented and as a means to extend human health span and longevity as a means to promote cancer growth. This will be discussed in the presentation. Recent breakthroughs in gene therapy, especially using vectors derived from the Adeno Associated Virus, have enabled means of delivering genes to human cells in a manner that is far safer than ever seen before. Biography Bill Andrews is the President and CEO of Sierra Sciences in Reno, Nevada, USA. He is also an Advisor for Libella Gene Therapeutics in New Zealand. In his 37 year biotech career, he has focused the last 25 years on finding ways to extend the human lifespan and healthspan through telomere maintenance.
