She claims she has rejuvenated with gene therapy

In controversial procedure, Elizabeth Parrish says he has been with viruses to reverseyour biological clock. Will be?

Have you ever heard of a company called BioViva? You're not alone: no one knew until his "CEO", Elizabeth Parrish, have asserted that became the first person in the world to be able to reverse your age with gene therapy. According to Parrish, the treatment occurred last September, when she flew to Colombia for a doctor-whose identity was not revealed-administered treatment with virus, which, she says, extended its life in 20 years.

The treatment has been tested in mice and in vitro cells in the laboratory. It is an injection of virus able to retrieve the Telomeres. These are the tips of chromosomes, apiece of DNA that serves to protect the rest and end up spending every time the cells reproduce. Short Telomeres are as much a sign of age as a possible cause of aging, because the loss of this protection undermines the integrity of the genetic material-leading to the progressive decay we call biological old age.

Parrish, who has 44 years, said that clinical tests before the procedure indicated thatshe had particularly short Telomeres, that is, premature aging, and later tests showed a substantial increase of these structures. His score of Telomeres, as given by the laboratories based on length, jumped to 6.71 7.33-score next to someone in the 20 to 30 years.

She did the treatment on their own in Colombia to escape the American rules, which would require a long and expensive process of testing before allowing experiments in humans. That is, it was subject to something that no one knows yet what kind of side effects can have.

We are facing one of the greatest medical revolution in history? The cure for old age? Will depend on a scooter, but crucial factor: that Parrish is not just making it up.

Reason to suspect are many. His profile on LinkedIn says she graduated from "Science" (which doesn't exist) at the University of Washington, without giving a date, andpositions of Directors list as your professional experience. Until the announcement,BioViva was nothing more than a Web site listing ideas of treatments, a team of seven people (all with jobs outside the company, except the CEO) and specialists who supposedly would support the initiative. The company's headquarters, declared in April 2015 to the American Government, was a two-bedroom residence.

The MIT Technology Review studied the case and got that standing behind. "The experiment seems destined to be remembered as a new low in medical quackery, or perhaps the unlikely start of an era in which people receive genetic modification not just to treat disease, but stop reverse aging," said the opinion. But also sought by one of the experts listed on the site from BioViva, George Church, Harvard University.He said he disagrees with all the ethics of the procedure, but I think the result has happened: "I think it's real. There is evidence that it can be done. Companies acting secretly can accomplish anything ".

If Parrish is hacked, visionary or just crazy, should know soon. The case will undergoheavy scrutiny of the scientific community, which I'm sure is as intrigued as anyoneof us. If she's not lying, and beneficial side effects should be visible in it.
