The foundation
Have you ever wondered how many years you still have ahead of you?
How many of your dreams can you still fulfill, and how long will you still enjoy good health, the most precious asset we have besides life?
People’s life expectancy is increasing rapidly, but the passage of time significantly deteriorates our health and quality of life.
Unfortunately, aging is the greatest risk factor for developing many diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases and cancer, and it robs us of many years of joy and a satisfactory life with our loved ones.
In the near future, anti-aging drugs will reduce suffering and benefit humanity. Scientific research and technological development will allow us to live healthy for much longer, but whether it can be achieved as soon as possible will depend on the pressure and social interest that exists, and whether political, financial and R&D+ actions are accelerated. I in that sense.
Many of us will not get to see it. How many people will be left on the verge of benefiting from medical achievements that will lengthen life and drastically improve health, reducing the ravages of old age?
Have you ever wondered what you could do to accelerate this process of scientific-medical evolution, and thus be able to be part of the patients who will enjoy these new technologies? That is, would you like to arrive on time?
Yes to us, and we hope that all the people who wish to do so also. That is why, for years we have been working to give visibility to projects dedicated to increasing longevity and improving health.
We understood a long time ago that we need to work as a team, joining forces to achieve the goal of seeing the reality of a new medicine that, most likely, will reduce, eliminate, and even reverse the effects of old age.
This is how we decided to get down to work and create a Foundation that could host, coordinate, disseminate and promote projects and ideas that serve to promote and accelerate all research in the field of anti-aging, longevity and general health.
Because there is nothing more beautiful and precious than LIFE, except a life with health and without aging.
An article from September 17, 2019 [1] reviewed the state of clinical trials of anti-aging drugs at the time. Approval of anti-aging drugs has not yet been achieved, but there are several treatments that have passed phases I and II of clinical trials in people, and some are in phase III [2]. There were 24 entities carrying out clinical trials, of which only one was Spanish (The CNIO). In the longevity industry there are nine hallmarks of aging that are considered the root causes of aging. Medications have been grouped into nine categories corresponding to these characteristics [3] [4]. Each category is a distinctive characteristic of aging damage used to explain how the aging process works and how it causes age-related diseases. Discoveries in each category have led to clinical trials. Each clinical trial is one step closer to improving these distinctive characteristics.
The current 9 categories of medications to extend longevity are as follows:
1. Genomic Instability.
2. Telomere attrition.
3. Epigenetic alterations.
4. Loss of proteostasis.
5. Deregulated nutrient detection.
6. Mitochondrial dysfunction.
7. Cellular senescence.
8. Stem cell depletion.
9. Altered intercellular communication.
In this scenario, we want to promote clinical trials against aging, to promote this activity in Spain and accelerate the achievement of the founding objectives.
There are prospective analyzes that predict that treatments will be available to stop and reverse aging within a period of no more than fifteen years, but it seems too long to us. Many people with terminal illnesses or advanced age, interested in benefiting from these treatments, simply will not arrive in time.
From our Foundation we want to contribute to accelerating the process, in order to preserve the lives of the greatest number of people possible, and so that they can receive the treatments that allow them to fully recover their health.
We want to create a movement of people who believe that life deserves all the opportunities that medical science and technology can offer, and that there is no end to the joy of living when health accompanies you and old age does not limit you.< /strong>
Join us on this journey and be part of this new movement, which excites and will change the idea of health and old age that we currently have, transforming it into a hopeful future with the help of science and medical technology!
We will wait for you!
