Grow Younger. Feel More Alive. Enjoy Being You.

          Fifteen years ago, researchers at Harvard-affiliated medical centers published remarkable results of a study using gene therapy on mice -- that reversed aging!

          That’s right, in the study they saw the total reversal of age-related problems, including decreased brain function which returned to normal and failing organs that started working well again. Even fur on the mice that had turned grey was restored to dark fur.

          Dr. Ronald DiPinho, a geneticist at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School, and co-author of the study results, said he thinks this research has identified the core pathway explaining many different theories of aging.

          I find this so exciting! The researchers were surprised by the results, which not only slowed aging but reversed it, effectively making the mice grow younger.

          In this study, researchers boosted the cellular levels of telomerase, enzymes that lengthen telomeres, in the mice -- and saw the signs of aging reversed. In measurable ways, the mice grew younger!

          The next big question is: Can they do the same for people?

          Yes! On July 12, 2023, researchers from Harvard Medical School, the University of Maine, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) published a fresh research paper on Aging. The paper, titled, “Chemically induced reprogramming to reverse cellular aging,”
          “Until recently, the best we could do was slow aging. New discoveries suggest we can now reverse it,” said David A. Sinclair, A.O., Ph.D., Professor in the Department of Genetics and co-Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research at Harvard Medical School and lead scientist on the project. “This new discovery offers the potential to reverse aging with a single pill, with applications ranging from improving eyesight to effectively treating numerous age-related diseases,” Dr. Sinclair said. This breakthrough earned a Nobel Prize.

          Now, as exciting as this is, we don’t want to sit on our laurels and wait -- we want to do everything we can right now to grow younger!

          Do you worry because someone in your family has Alzheimer’s? This disease is fatal, and women are disproportionately affected by Alzheimer’s; two-thirds of all Alzheimer’s Disease patients are women. Women are also more likely to be caretakers of AD patients; two-thirds of all AD caretakers are women.

          If you need scientific anti-aging evidence to believe it’s possible to reverse aging, you’ve got it in the studies I mentioned. In the meantime, there are quite a few anti-aging practices and techniques you can use to start that process right now, as explained in my 2-volume book, “The Secret Method for Growing Younger.” It is endorsed by Maryanne Williamson and five M.D.s, including Terry Grossman, M.D., one of the world’s top anti-aging physicians, with patients on every continent. Dr. Grossman gave speeches with me and his lab tested me for the Alzheimer’s Disease gene, APO-e4. I have it.

          The action steps in my book worked for me and they’re still working. My mother died of Alzheimer’s, and I successfully reversed the early stages of the disease, despite having the gene. My short-term memory had become very fragile, my tongue kept stumbling on words (if I could even find the word) and I used an enormous number of sticky notes as reminders.

          My next book “The Five Tibetan Rites – the Right Way” will be published later in 2025. These are powerful physical movements that are supposed to make you grow younger – and they really work! In the meantime, you can watch me do The Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation on a video and follow along. Go to YouTube and put in “Five Tibetan Rites – Ellen Wood.” I do them every day and I am growing younger.

          Now, at 88, my brain is sharp, I’ve kept breast cancer from returning after many years, my creativity is supercharged - and I have no gray hair!
