INTRODUCTION
Even before The Human Genome Project, scientists have predicted a ‘new age’ of biomedicine. Myriad small improvements continued to accumulate, but no great fulfilling promises have arrived. For nearly thirty very exciting years we have anxiously awaited some “Great Breakthrough”. Now, the waiting is over. This century, with good reason, has been labeled the “Century of Bio-Technology” and early fruits are finally ripening on the vine.
One major genetic control system has been found that manipulates several thousand genes which regulate metabolism from the fetus all the way through the aging process, and even in the cancer cell, albeit with a special caveat. From this regulatory control system, we have gained a much better understanding of the aging process, its natural consequences and the things that go wrong, and even more importantly, how to correct many of them.
For the past several decades, most of what we knew about the diseases of aging was disjointed, disconnected ‘pieces-parts’ full of potentials and enticements, but lacking a “glue,” a central unifying singularity. We now have that glue–a global hypothesis that knits these unconnected cuttings into a whole cloth that is mechanically definable. We have moved from correlation to causation; from best guesses to workable applications. As incredible as it may seem, our greatest killers, such as heart disease, cancer, type II diabetes, neuromuscular/vascular wasting and even aging itself is a single
