UPDATE ON THE TRANSHUMANISTS
Apparently my last blog must have hit too close to home. YouTube just took down my channel. Poof! No contact. No explanation. Hmmm. However, I just uploaded this video and watched it there so maybe you can too. Go now before they take this one down as well.

We are truly living in dangerous times. Here’s the link to the article I reference in the video. Update on Transhumanists
The headlines read as follows:
TRANSHUMANISTS: SUPERHUMAN POWERS & LIFE EXTENSION TECH WILL ALLOW US TO BECOME LIKE GOD
LIVE FOREVER: Scientists say they’ll soon extend life ‘well beyond 120’
Life Extension Technologies To Facilitate Elite Technocracy
I thought life extension a fitting topic for this week given many people around the world are celebrating Easter, the time when Jesus The Christ was resurrected, reborn, rose from the tomb. In other words, he defeated death.
Have we actually figured out how to accomplish this feat? Reading those headlines would have you believe that. So far there’s been a lot of talk from transhumanists and life extension scientists. We are still waiting on the proof. Transhumanists believe we should all eventually merge with machines to become super human and godlike. I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t sound good to me. Why would humans, quite possibly the most sophisticated creations in this world, want to merge with something substandard like a machine. A machine that we made by the way.
I have yet to get a piece of software completely free of bugs. I don’t think I would sign on to merging with a machine running on software. I have consciousness and “superhuman” powers now. I have memory, imagination, intuition, reason right now. And these are far superior to any manmade machine. Modern scientists don’t yet understand the animating spirit of humanity so how can they hope to improve upon it. As I pointed out two weeks ago, we know how to slow down the aging process. This one thing will most likely extend the lives of millions of people, some even beyond 120.
Another huge question remains – exactly who gets the life extension? If by some stroke of luck, scientists were to unlock the secret to life extension, would it be available to everyone? Who would decide? These are troubling questions in a world gone mad with elites seeking to control every aspect of our daily lives with technology. We are being surveilled like never before. We are followed around the web incessantly with every purchase or comment catalogued. All so we can be the target of someone’s marketing campaign. Will Amazon sell us life extension also?
I’m a big proponent of life extension for EVERYONE. We obviously didn’t create ourselves out of thin air. I don’t think little minds should have the power to decide who lives longer and who dies a miserable death in despair and suffering. I don’t think little minds should have that power. People obsessed with controlling others have little, small minds. Their “superhuman” powers definitely don’t shine through. Maybe they might be happier merged with a machine. Then the rest of us can get on with the joy of living life beyond 120.

I talk a lot about graceful aging through lifestyle transformation, better food, physical activity, spiritual development. Another aspect of graceful aging is using technology to slow down the aging process. By no means will we escape death, but we can leave on our own terms. We can live long, rich loving lives in good health and face death with no fear or regrets.
I’ve spent considerable time researching this topic and one of the major causes of aging is oxidative stress. You may not be familiar with that term, but you may have heard of free radicals. Free radicals are a byproduct of the body’s engine. We breathe, eat, live, excrete as human “engines”. At the cellular level this is also happening. We have over 100 trillion cells in our bodies and each one is going through this process. The waste products of the cell are free radicals. As with all waste, if you don’t take out the trash, you find that your environment is soon degraded and not a nice place to live. The body can produce trillions of free radicals every moment of every day.
Of course because we are so miraculously made, our bodies have an internal mechanism for taking out the trash. They are called antioxidants. Our bodies produce antioxidants to combat the oxidative stress caused by free radicals. This is why normal children and young adults don’t really age until around the age of 20. Prior to that, their bodies produce adequate antioxidants to combat the onslaught of free radicals every day. Mysteriously, around the age of 20, a switch gets flipped in our DNA and suddenly our capacity to make antioxidants is reduced. This doesn’t happen quickly but slowly over time our production of antioxidants declines and we start to age. As we age, the our cells are continuously ravaged year after year by free radicals and we start to see signs of aging at first, then we may start to see the diseases of aging, heart failure, diabetes, stroke, cancer. All of these are linked to high levels of oxidative stress.
Until recently western medicine had no knowledge of how to mitigate oxidative stress. Thousands of papers were written about it, but western medical doctors had no answer except to counsel people to take in more antioxidant foods and vitamins. Did you ever wonder why all of a sudden, everywhere you looked were products pushing antioxidants? Did it seem like just another fad or crazy scheme? Well, there was something to that. We didn’t know why the body stopped producing antioxidants so the next best thing was to promote vitamins. An entire industry skyrocketed to the top in sales of vitamins and all kinds of supplements. Unfortunately, a lot of this stuff was substandard and the very premise that you could stop oxidative stress with vitamins was a flawed concept. You cannot ingest enough Vitamin C to mitigate the trillions of free radicals in your system every moment. One antioxidant removes one free radical, a 1:1 proposition. As I stated earlier, we produce trillions of free radicals every minute.
But this is truth for a western approach. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. But something amazing happened back in the early 2000’s. Dr. Joe McCord, working at the University of Colorado, developed a way to actually slow down oxidative stress in such a way that it could meaningfully impact your health. He created a proprietary blend of 5 eastern and western herbs and plants that proved to be a breakthrough in modern medicine. It has changed the paradigm. We now have a way to reduce oxidative stress by 40% in 30 days and up to 70% in 90 days. It’s called Protandim. I call it a modern miracle.
Protandim helps your body turn on the switch and go back to making your own antioxidants the way you did as a child. And it has a cumulative effect over time, reversing some of the damaging effects of aging, like wrinkly skin. I’ve taken this product for almost a decade and it’s still a secret. People are caught up in quick fixes for every imaginable ailment instead of getting at the root cause of most diseases of aging. Stop taking antioxidants and create your own internal antioxidants.
To get a closer look at the earlier research done by Dr. McCord, check out this ABC Primetime investigative report done back on 2005 by John Quinones. Watch the video.

Gut health has become a trendy topic and as with many hot topics like this, it’s been complicated by a lot of chatter. Optimum gut health is really very simple to achieve. EAT LOTS OF FIBER! How many times have you heard that? But still the Standard American Diet (SAD) is the most popular thing going and people are gorging on beige food. The gut is intelligent and is the key to optimum health. Having a clean, well functioning colon can extend your life. In this day and time, it is a key part of life extension.
There’s a lot of advertising for Probiotics these days and lengthy descriptions of the different bacteria you SHOULD have in your gut. “Eat our yogurt concoction and you will eliminate bloating and intestinal issues.” OR “Make your colon happy with our probiotic supplement.” You can eat these things and may find some benefit. But what if life were easier than all that? What if you just ate more fiber allowing your body to produce the good bacteria in your gut. That’s what it wants to do. When the body doesn’t get enough fiber, it immediately thinks there are invaders in the gut and goes about destroying the good bacteria along with everything else floating around down there. It doesn’t equate lack of fiber with lack of fiber. It thinks — time for battle!
Well, what if it’s really easy to get enough fiber? Good fiber can be found in your fresh fruits and vegetables. Last week we learned that your body’s cells have certain receptor sites for a wide variety of fruits and veggies. If we just eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, our gut bacteria are happy. We feed them and they actually feed us. Bye bye inflammation and all the sensitivity. Our bodies will heal given healthy, fresh food as our medicine. Check out the short humorous video from Dr. Michael Greger posted at the end.
Now what does all this have to do with life extension technology? Life extension is about more than just patching up old worn out bodies trying to squeeze out a few more years. We don’t have to become bionic and part robotic to live into the future. It’s also about quality of life in our later years as well. The new science of Nrf2 activation is showing us how to literally slow down the aging process, extend our life expectancy and experience a better quality of life. This little protein in the cell when activated can help us turn back on dormant genes and down regulate others. This can have the effect of turning on our survival genes and turning down genes that promote inflammation as an example. This whole process can help us heal our guts and reverse some of the damage done by our SAD diets. This is a stunning medical breakthrough and is changing the paradigm of how Western medicine will be practiced in the future. There is more to come from Nrf2 research so stay tuned.
