AMAZING ANTI-AGEING DRUG
Can you imagine living a healthy life well into your 120s? That could be a reality sooner rather than later, after the US Food and Drug Administration recently gave the go-ahead for clinical trials to be conducted on the world’s first anti-aging drug.
The drug, called metformin, has already been proven to extend animal lifespans, and the FDA has resultantly decided that trials should be conducted to see if it has the same effect on humans. It is already the most widely used drug in the world for treating Type 2 diabetes.
Furthermore, anecdotal evidence was found last year by researchers at Cardiff University, who observed that patients with diabetes taking metformin were living longer than others who were not diabetic, in spite of diabetics having an average life expectancy that’s eight years shorter.
Successful clinical trials would mean that 70-year-olds could have the biological health of 50-year-olds. Scientists also believe that stopping aging could eventually consign aging-related diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, to history.
We age because our cells divide themselves in order to keep our bodies in the best state of health, however problems begin to occur the more times cells divide, meaning that damage to our bodies eventually can no longer be repaired.
The theory is that if the aging process is slowed down, then all the diseases and pathology associated with aging can be slowed down as well. Scientists believe that this can be achieved because all of our cells contain a DNA blueprint that could keep our bodies functioning correctly forever.
Metformin is believed to have life-extending possibilities for humans because of its ability to increase the number of oxygen molecules released into a cell. This process is believed to boost cell robustness and longevity.
American scientists are currently looking for 3,000 volunteers aged between 70 and 80 who either have, or are at risk of, cancer, heart disease and dementia, to take part in the clinical trial of metformin, which is scheduled to begin next winter.
According to the World Health Organization, the average global life expectancy currently stands at 71.0 years, but if scientists manage to replicate the results observed in animals during the clinical trials, human lifespan could increase by almost 50%. Amazing!

Is the anti-aging drug metformin the fountain of youth?
Scientists are convinced that the best candidate for anti-aging medicine is metformin. This is an inexpensive and commonly used pharmaceutical for the treatment of diabetes. It works by increasing the amount of oxygen molecules released into the cell, and thus appears to increase longevity in animals. According to a report from the International Business Times, the medicine could allow people to live to between 110 and 120 years without the ailments that accompany those difficult years.
“This would be the most important medical intervention in the modern era, an ability to slow aging,” said Dr. Jay Olshansky, a professor in the School of Public Health at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

In mice, metformin managed to extend their life by 40 percent, and their bones were stronger with signs that they stayed more youthful for longer too. Last year, Cardiff University reported that in patients taking metformin, they noticed that they live longer than other patients.
“Patients treated with a drug widely prescribed for type 2 diabetes can live longer than people without the condition, a large-scale University-led study involving over 180,000 people has shown,” the report reads.
Clinical trials of metformin will start in the U.S. next year. Various institutions are currently recruiting 3,000 volunteers between the ages of 70 and 80, who suffer from cancer, heart disease, or dementia, to take part in the trial. Scientists hope that the trials will prove that metformin can slow the aging process in humans and alleviate or even cure their disease.
“If we can slow ageing in humans, even by just a little bit it would be monumental. People could be older, and feel young. Enough advancements in ageing science have been made to lead us to believe it’s plausible, it’s possible, it’s been done for other species and there is every reason to believe it could be done in us,” Olshansky said.
Regarding the findings, co-leader of the study Nir Barzilai, from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, gave the following statement.
“People on metformin get 30 percent less cancers, almost every cancer except maybe prostate cancer. There are fewer studies, but there is a signal that metformin prevents cognitive decline. Additionally, there is a study that suggests that people on metformin who, when they start taking metformin, are more obese and sicker than people without diabetes, they outlive people without diabetes."
If the same results can be achieved in humans, life expectancy could be increased by up to half. This could give humans extra years that could provide medicines for cancer and lead to possible cures for other deadly and difficult-to-treat diseases.

Aging does not have to be an inevitable process because all cells contain the DNA scheme, which may enable the continuous proper functioning of the body. Every cell in the body carries DNA, so theoretically, the body cannot function properly forever. However, some marine animals do not age. For example, lobsters don’t actually get older, and some scientists believe that if left undisturbed, they can’t die. And some turtles have even been known to live for more than 200 years.
The average life expectancy of humans in most developed countries is around 80 years. If the upcoming metformin trials are successful, it will mean that a person in their 70s would be as biologically healthy as a 50-year-old. As the Telegraph writes, it could usher in a new era of “geroscience,” where doctors would no longer fight individual conditions like cancer, diabetes, and dementia, but instead treat the underlying mechanism – aging.

In a chilling turn of events, some taxi drivers in Japan are claiming to have picked up ‘ghost passengers’ in the aftermath of the tsunami that devastated the nation in March 2011. As many as seven of the 100 drivers interviewed by Yuka Kudo, a student of sociology at Tohoku, admitted to having encountered phantom fares.
Kudo conducted the interviews as a part of her graduation thesis, traveling to the coastal town of Ishinomaki every week for a year to speak to taxi drivers waiting for fares. She asked over 100 drivers the same question: “Did you have any unusual experiences after the disaster?” Many of them ignored her, some even got angry, but seven drivers agreed to describe their strange encounters.
One driver recounted a particularly unsettling story – in the summer of 2011, a woman dressed in a coat climbed into his taxi near Ishinomaki station. She said, “Please go to the Mianmihama Station.” When he pointed out that there was nothing left standing in the district, she asked him in a shivering voice, “Have I died?” The driver immediately turned around, only to find the back seat empty.
Another driver recalled how a young man who looked to be in his 20s got into his taxi. When the driver looked in the rear-view mirror for directions, the man kept pointing towards the front. The driver then asked for a destination, to which he replied, “Hiyoriyama” (mountain). When the taxi reached the area, the man had disappeared from the taxi.
It’s easy to dismiss these stories as hallucinations or imaginations, but the drivers’ logs are proof that they really might have occurred. When these ‘ghosts’ got into their cabs, the drivers started the meter, which is recorded. So even though these passengers disappeared during the ride, they were still counted as clients. The drivers then had to pay their fares out of their own pockets. Some of the drivers even wrote down their experiences in their logs.
All these phantom travelers were described to be young, which compels Kudo to believe that they were indeed victims of the 2011 tsunami. “Young people feel strongly chagrined (at their deaths) when they cannot meet people they love,” she said. “As they want to convey their bitterness, they may have chosen taxis, which are like private rooms, as a medium to do so.”
Interestingly, none of the drivers reported feeling any fear, instead holding their special passengers in reverence. Having lost loved ones in the disaster themselves, they perceived the encounters as a spiritual experience, meant to be remembered and cherished forever. “It is not strange to see a ghost here,” a driver said. If I encounter a ghost again, I will accept it as my passenger.”
Kudo herself was moved by the interviews. “I learned that the death of each victim carries importance,” she said. “I want to convey that to other people.”
According to official records, over 15,000 people died during the magnitude-9 earthquake that lasted for six minutes and triggered a 133-ft high tsunami that swept six miles inland. Numerous sightings of ‘ghosts’ and ‘spectral figures’ have been reported in residential districts in the affected areas in the aftermath of the disaster.

There’s a cantt area in Delhi where people have reported that a woman asks for the lift when they pass through it along with other terrible experiences they faced afterwards. At least, Japanese ghosts are sensible than our Indian counterpart. 
P.S.: I personally don’t believe in ghost stories. I myself a GHOST! Wouldn’t you say?

we are also ghost, iff somebody:
- awakes the evil inside.
- greed, lust are inside.
- no education, no work and no skill (sleeping ghost)
However, it depends on the relationship and dynamic upon my status/frame of mind.

We should keep ourselves away from these things. All right?
Btw, use of “iff”? I believe what you said are universal facts. No need to prove them. Are you?

Evil is the other side of the coin, which is always exist, you show or realise or not ? Its up to ur own traits. U can’t be away from evil, only u can try not to awake or enlarge them in time of crisis , when ur energies r weak, they r more prone to attack or drive u.
You have the power to become what u want ! Ghost or dost , it depends on your host attitude.

So, as per the whole explanation of the subject, i.e. ghosts of yours which are against you, you think that there’s no genuine spirit ever identified itself as such. Right? Now I got your point. Thanks for being with us, Sir.
Criminal Mind
The mind has many sides. One of the most common is the mind as a criminal! It’s a blessing to have a mind develop to seemingly be capable of answers far beyond the normal person. Some are born with an inherited capacity for a high intellect, others not. In between ‘not and yes’ are mind’s as common as ‘no two snowflakes are the same’. For the first time in known existence here or in the universe, we are all with our qualities beyond all the rest of life’s times, and have the ability to start a journey right now and here beyond the present into a state of mind that would be a light on the earth.
What do you do that keeps you from being a light of blessings and love on the earth? Are you still hanging on to the rocks that block your path in the climb up the mountain of consciousness? Are those rocks that block you also keep tumbling down on your climb of the evolutionary mountain? Are you being a criminal of the mind that is also the rocks that block your assent. Ironically is there really any ‘assent’ or is it a question of just seeing the light within that is your true nature that you keep in the cave of darkness?
Do I have the answer in words to elevate you there? No one now or ever can do more than point, for only you have the answers within you for you. Knock and ye shall find. Now what in heavens or hell does that mean? Again, it’s you to experience, AND without nosing into everyone else’s path, but looking to clear the own log in your own mind. The thought might occur to you, (and rightly so) am I nosing in to your path? Answer is ‘Yes’!
To be theatrical, the best you can do is to be saved by the ‘holy spirit’ (or whatever you call ‘IT’) which has no religion, but rests in your heart and being. If you think someone is going to give you the lottery win of the god who watches over millions of galaxies that science has discovered, and give you life in unconditional love forever – well, continue on that trip, and may luck befall in your lap! Is it a ‘criminal mind’ to think you can fear your death, and at the same time know there is no death because word came from the ‘heavens’ that it’s true?
Find your own ‘crawl space’ where that light hides in darkness, and needs you to live in harmony with yourself to ignite the fires of light within! All ‘holy people’ who have walked the earth have found it without having to follow anyone else in the material world, but by themselves within where the volcano of love is buried waiting to spread the light. Just as an aside, why are there no ‘holy women’ who have come without any religion? Or, maybe they just live in the blessings of silence and love?! Hmmm…
Life after loss
Jinoy Jose P
One can never completely work their way out of a loss.
There will be remnants, things that get evoked each time somebody around loses someone
Hope is not always a happy instrument for survival. At times it worsens our pain and
adds to the panic, forcing one to delay the inevitable tryst with reality.
KS Narendran, 51, didn’t want that. He decided to face reality head-on, like a fallible,
understanding human being. “From the early weeks, the possibility that my wife is not
going to come back has been dangling precariously,” he says.
His wife of over 25 years, Chandrika Sharma, was on board the Malaysian Airlines
MH370 that mysteriously went off the radar on March 8, 2014, on its way to Beijing from
Kuala Lumpur. Sharma was heading to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, to attend a Food and
Agriculture Organisation conference.
“When the news came in, I thought it would probably be a matter of few hours
before the confusion and the dust settles and we had some facts,” says Narendran.
And he is still waiting. He didn’t imagine it to be the long-drawn, unending wait it has become.
But he was not ready to let his loss overpower his ways.
Yet it wasn’t easy to cope with the deep void that’s come up in his life.
“Intellectually one understands that nobody is here for eternity.
Mortality is a given,” reasons Narendran, sitting in his neat, capacious flat in Guindy, Chennai.
“In most cases, you don’t really set an end date and often it visits you without your
knowing.” Sharma and Narendran had often talked about what lay in store.
“We would say who’s gonna be here tomorrow. The fact that we might not be living
as long as we might wish was almost certain.”
But that doesn’t take away the difficulty in dealing with the loss.
“So, the intellectual understanding, at least for me, made it more difficult to deal with
emotional acceptance.” While it helped him be functional at least in the early months,
it made it tougher to actually accept and acknowledge what he was feeling.
Yes, it did make things a lot more difficult,” says Narendran who is not overtly religious.
How did he manage to move on? Or has he?
“One of the things I started doing was to write.” It helped to put down what he felt.
“It helped me come to terms with what was happening within me and outside.
In the privacy of my own conversations with the medium, such introspection was
much easier.” Also, there were a lot of thoughts buzzing around which were difficult
to sift through. “Writing helped me piece things together and see things from a distance.”
Then there were friends. Many would drop in.
“They would invite me to come by and spend time with them, not necessarily to
‘moan, groan, bemoan. Just to experience companionship.’ That was quite helpful.”
Also, a number of people wrote in. There were several Facebook messages, e-mails, SMSes, and
even snail mails (cards and letters). “I’d reply to as many of them as I could.”
“clearly, fully or comprehensively”. “Nobody does,” he says. It is not as if it is over and
done with. “Nobody has ever completely worked through it and has come out of it.
So, there are remnants, there are residues, there are things that get evoked each
time somebody around them has encountered some loss.”
Those who wrote in spoke of their own loss and “I realised that in a way this
process of communicating was both valuable to me and others. That makes me
even more responsible, that one must reply or respond to those people and let them
know what’s happening.” And many of them knew Sharma. They wrote about their
association with her. Narendran discovered that her world was large and that she
has made a difference to lot of people, many unknown to him.
Did that cure it all? One doesn’t know. “Some part of my day ends up with a
requirement to respond to my responsibilities. And I realise that once one has got
back a semblance of routine, it makes life a little easier and the task of coping not a
lonely burden.” But there are still large tracts of the day where he continues to wander,
ask what might have happened, and feels “a little loss in myself”. But “life goes on”.
Their daughter is a student of psychology in Delhi.
“I only hope she has come to terms with her loss. I can only wish. I won’t
know for certain.” But he believes youngsters have a different way of dealing with
things, like giving themselves a long time to come to terms with loss.
“There is no immediacy.” The immediacy is for other things — a career or other ambitions.
Narendran lost his father when he was 17 and “it took me over a decade to grieve
and really understand and come to terms with the loss. So all that I do is let my
daughter know that no questions are off limits, no questions taboo, no conversation unwelcome.”
