“How old are you?”

Amy and I had gotten acquainted during the last year at the gas-and-food store where she worked near my office. Her smile told me she was nervous about asking, but not whether her reason was personal or just curiosity. Since it is always interesting to see if the truth is acceptable to people, I told her, “I’m 57.” She was shocked. Whatever her original purpose, her disbelief took over. “You certainly don’t look like 57. I was guessing 42.” Pleased by her reaction, I told her, “This is what 57 is supposed to look like.” She looked at me with a new appreciation.

If you are like me, it is flattering to have someone think you are younger than your chronological age. Having youth usually means you have the strength to do all you intend to do with your life, the appeal to attract to you the attention you want, and the energy to enjoy the pleasures life offers. At any age, what we all want is to live long and well and healthy. So, because of her appreciation, I told Amy the story I’ll share here with you.

This is not religion, Eastern mysticism or self-hypnosis. This is the science of biology in the 21st century.

I found some researchers who discovered that youthful strength and health depend on the inner body chemistry that signals the brain what instructions to send to your nerves, organs and glands. Your brain can instruct your body to function, at the cellular level, either in the youthful, growth phase of life or in the gradual, decades-long shutdown process known as aging.

What I discovered is that you have a choice between these two and I want to tell you about it.

What arrived at my home in the mail was one of those envelopes I usually throw away without opening it.

There was no return address and my address was handwritten. Those usually have a chain letter inside. I opened it, anyway. It was a typed page, no pictures or dramatic graphics. I don’t remember any more just what it said. There was a headline about a scientist being younger now than he was four years earlier and that made me read it.

The man who sent it had included his phone number. So, I phoned him several times to ask questions. He pointed me to a website and I got some audiotapes that told a very encouraging story.

The term “anti-aging” was not overused then like it is now and I was not sure what was meant by the aging process or how one could reverse it. But, I wanted that… if it was real.

Now, I’m the kind of man who has no health problems. So, when I take a new energizing product, I don’t feel anything much different. But, I knew that, if this anti-aging product line were genuine, I’d want to talk about it. So, when I learned that there was a before-and-after test that would give me actual numbers, measuring any change my body experienced, I decided I had to take it.

Just before my 55th birthday, I sent off a urine sample to an independent lab that did this anabolic/catabolic index. I apologize for the technical term. But, if there were already a common name for this, it would not be a new development coming from recent scientific work.

Keep in mind I had just turned 55. I phoned the laboratory and got one of the technicians on the line. I said, “This doesn’t make any sense. I do farm work every day, which gives me more than the 30 minutes of exercise recommended for an adult. That compels me to drink the 2 quarts of water an adult is supposed to drink. I live out here in Mennonite country. So, I get fresh fruits and vegetables almost year round.” I told him what vitamin and mineral supplements I’d been taking for years.

He did not dismiss anything I said. He listened, then, quietly said, “The other major factor that will cause a person to age faster is stress.” Stress seems like one of those words used to cover conditions a health professional cannot explain. But, I knew clearly that the heart-breaking family situation I was in was giving me more stress than I’d experienced at any other time in my life.

I began taking the anti-aging products that came from the research I’d thoroughly read about by this time. I did it for four months and then sent off another urine sample to the independent lab for analysis.

I can still feel the rush of joy I felt when I opened the envelope and read the report.

How did this come to be? Who are the scientific researchers who made these discoveries?

In 1989, Dr. Stephen Cherniske published a book titled, The DHEA Breakthrough. DHEA is the mother hormone that your body uses to make all the other hormones that regulate many of your body’s life processes. Its discovery has enabled people under doctor’s care to overcome many of the adverse effects of aging.

The enthusiasm that greeted this discovery led too many people to overuse DHEA. Dr. Cherniske wrote the book to proclaim the wonderful effects DHEA can have on the human body and to give the correct guidance that would help people to not over-buy and overuse it. His writing was based on solid research on the use and results of DHEA.

Because this book was a bestseller for months, it came to the attention of a man who is the head of one of the richest families on Earth. His name is B. William Lee from Korea. The Lee family owns 146,000 acres of Siberian rain forest, 40% of the world’s Aloe Vera plantations, and several companies involved in both pharmaceutical and natural products research and product development. Mr. Lee arranged a visit with Dr. Cherniske. Based on hints in a number of audio and videotapes, this is my imaginative reconstruction of that conversation.

Mr. Lee: “Dr. Cherniske, I was impressed by your book. It suggests that you have expertise in an area that is a keen interest of my family. We want to discover if it is possible to use natural products to positively affect the human aging process. We are impatient with the criticism of plant-based nutritional supplements that they have no scientific studies to support the health claims that many cultures have experienced for centuries. It is time to provide that science.”

Dr. Cherniske: “Thank you for your confidence in me, based on what is in my book. Mr. Lee, when I was at university listening to a professor talk about what I regard as the magnificent health system of the human body, I was amazed when he said that the human body replaces 300 billion cells each and every day. To me this meant the opportunity to provide the materials those new cells need to restore youthful functioning throughout the body.

If this were true, you could make the body younger, in some sense. The professor regarded this as youthful innocence, which he tried to squash in one reply, saying that gradually the cells become poorer copies of the ones before them, that the debilitating effects of aging are unavoidable. In my mind, I disagreed and I yearn for the chance to do the research that will prove I’m right. In other words, if the answer is in natural products, I’m personally motivated to do the science you want done.”

Mr. Lee: “Excellent! Our goals match. And, if you can discover the key to the aging process and we can develop natural products that can reverse aging, you will achieve all that we could hope for. Is it possible for you to put together a team of scientists who have already done research on one part or another of the aging process, each of whom has already published in respected journals?”

Dr. Cherniske: “I don’t think that will be a problem. Once they understand what we are aiming to accomplish, I believe their love of a big goal will bring them to us.”

And, so, they began.

While the team Dr. Cherniske put together did their own research, they also used a service that searched all the professional, peer-review publications that had anything to do with this anti-aging research in order to find out about anyone else’s work that would speed them on their way to their goal.

Dr. Cherniske gives one example in the study done by the team of Dr. James Joseph of Tufts University. Theirs was a test of a diet of blueberries on rats. Known for anti-oxidant properties, they wanted to know if blueberries could affect the performance of rats in figuring out how to get to food in mazes. They took a population of rats that had been able to successfully and swiftly run mazes to find food, but had declined in that ability. They “harvested” a portion of that population and dissected their brains and found a chemical condition on their brains associated with aging and memory loss. They put the remainder of the rat population on a steady diet of blueberries.

After a time, those rats could once again successfully run mazes to find food. The research team “harvested” another portion of that population and dissected their brains and found that the chemical condition that adversely affects memory was absent in those rats.

In a phone conversation with Dr. Joseph, Dr. Cherniske congratulated him and offered to help with the next step. “What next step?” Dr. Joseph asked. “Well,” Dr. Cherniske said, “blueberries are all natural. So, there shouldn’t be any fear of adverse side effects. Aren’t you going to test this on humans next?”

Dr. Joseph replied, “First, we wouldn’t get funding from any company, because they would not have a monopoly guaranteeing a return on their investment, since blueberries cannot be patented. Second, it would require the persons in the test to eat a cup of blueberries every day, possibly for years. No one would want to and I don’t know how we’d monitor them.” Dr. Cherniske said, “We have the means here to concentrate the blueberries into any form you want: drinks or powder in capsules. We can make that easier for you.” Dr. Joseph retorted, “Well, then, you do it.” As he hung up, Dr. Cherniske said to himself, “Ok. We will.” Today, that product exists, combining blueberries, cranberries, cherries, grape, Gingko Biloba, alpha lipoic acid and aloe concentrate.

This is just one example of many discoveries that led to the identification of the actual mechanism of aging. For a non-technical way of picturing it, Dr. Cherniske describes the brain as asking the muscles, nervous system, organs and glands of the body how they are functioning. In the anabolic… the youthful growth phase of life… the report is good and the brain continues to send instructions to the body to keep on manufacturing the hormones and cell replacements that keep the body strong, active, able to repair cell damage and feeling good.

As time goes on and people become physically less active and as the effects of poor diet add up, the brain’s survey of the body’s systems receives reports of stress and strain, of weakness and failing function. So, the brain gives the body instructions to gradually shutdown, age and die… the catabolic phase of life.

There is, of course, a complex biochemical description of all this. But, the best part of this story is that this intensive research has resulted in drinks and pills, all composed of natural plant ingredients that affect the condition of the body’s organs, glands, tissues, muscles and nerves in such a way that the brain gets reports from the body of a healthy, vibrant condition that causes the brain to flip the switch back the other way.

It begins again sending instructions to rebuild, repair and replace aged cells with healthier cells.

We have come to expect amazing discoveries from scientific research. So, we may not clearly understand where this discovery puts us.

Ever since Carl Rehnborg opened his nutritional labs in the late 1920s, people have had nutritional supplements, in the form of pills, available to them. Education on the need for supplemental vitamins, minerals and other plant factors was slow to grow through the 20th century.

But, grow it did.

Then, in the 1980s, health researchers said they had discovered the wall. The very air we must breathe to live is also the cause of our deaths. Our cells oxidize, just like a cut apple turns brown or a metal bar rusts, because their chemicals bond with loose oxygen atoms, known as free radicals. As our cells oxidize, they cannot perform their function within body tissues.

The failed function of body tissues disables the organs throughout the body, creating the painful disability of aging and, finally, death. We have discovered, they said, that the process of death is “wired” into our cells. So, there is a limit to which we can extend human life. That limit is not much beyond the life expectancy of 77 years.

Depressing.

But, then, in the middle 1990s, nutritional scientists announced the existence in many plants of ingredients that act as anti-oxidants. These ingredients capture the free radicals by bonding with them before they can bond with your body’s cells. So, as deadened cells are replaced, the new ones can be protected from free radicals.

It turns out that free radicals are all around us in the many pollutants that are in our air and water. It also turns out that anti-oxidants are all around us in a vast variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Think about this.

At one moment, scientific researchers identify a danger to our lives that is unavoidable and uncorrectable. In the next moment, other scientific researchers discover that wall is an illusion, not a real barrier. The problems and the answers are both in nature.

So, it is not irrational to believe that the traditional concept of aging can also prove to not be a final barrier to the resources of nature and the discoveries of scientific research. Dr. Cherniske’s verdict on the misuse of the term “anti-aging” to refer to skin creams or standard nutritional supplements or growth hormones is this: If it is not based on the discovery of what the actual metabolic process of aging is and cannot demonstrate how it reverses that mechanism, it is not anti-aging.

If it does not reverse the cause of aging, but only treats effects of aging, it is not anti-aging.

And, now, Dr. Cherniske’s team is taking advantage of the successful completion of the mapping of the human genome in order to test the effect of new products on both DNA and RNA, the puzzle assemblers of the human gene, which is the building block of all the cells in your body. This is real life science.

If you have read this far, you want to know what is in it for you.

I cannot promise that you will live forever. Government regulation forbids me from talking about a cure of any condition you may have. These discoveries and products will not turn an 80-year-old man into a 16-year-old boy. But, I can truthfully tell you that there is a test than can measure the youthful change in your own body’s metabolism, the governing factor in your body’s healthy function. You’ll be able to talk about your results from taking these products. You stand a chance to live longer, with more energy and vitality, a chance that did not exist for earlier generations.
