Anti-Aging Medicine

About the show

Dr. Ronald Klatz is recognized as a leading authority in the new clinical science of anti-aging medicine. He has been integral in researching new therapies for treating and preventing age-related degenerative diseases, and is the founder and President of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine Inc.

Klatz shared information on the advancement of technology to detect, prevent, and treat aging-related disease and how he is promoting research into methods to retard and optimize aging. He stated that in some instances, we could slow down or even reverse aging processes, and the goal was to get human cells to "reproduce in a useful way." He pointed out that the path to research sometimes leads to treatment of diseases such as cancer and AIDS. Repairing damaged DNA seems to be one of the keys to reversing the aging process, he said. Katz even speculated about transplanting heads onto younger bodies, grown for the purpose.

During the first hour of the broadcast, Art referred to a recently published NASA study that shows the extent to which the polar ice caps have melted and predicts the Arctic Ocean will lose all perennial ice by the end of the century. Open Lines were also featured.
