Sorry.  I met a guy with oldsheimers.  Perfectly fine until he stood up and said he'd like to go home... while in his own house.  It's shitty and rough on his son.

Anyway, if you'll excuse me, I gotta go post on Getbig now.

I've been saying this for the past ten years: it's going to happen, and a lot sooner than many could think. Maybe not with this drug, but with another, or a few... it is pretty obvious to these who are up to date with the current state of regenerative sciences.
 The fears of welfare are pretty much overstated, to say the least. Keep in mind that for a bussiness it is a lot more beneficial to have a buyer/user for a loooong time to come, instead of raising up a new one from the start again and again. Keep in mind another thing - the birth rate will decrease even more, logically - there's not muh point to reproduce for a genome when it can sustain it's survival for a long time.
 Eventually it will be the medicine science that will save white race from extinction. Like always has been - whites outsmart other races, regardless of numbers.

p.s. - this isn't massive news because stuff like this already became a "naturally understandable" thing, like - well yeah, that's how it should be. The big breaking nes in a whole world will be when they will manage to keep a mice alive and young for an indefinite time and most of you reading this will be able to witess that in your lifetime, have no doubt about it.

health is business. nobody is interested in a one cure all pill that only has to be taken once.

guess why nobody cares about actually HEALING diabetes.

Because it's really old news, metformin has had this aspect of it's mechanism known for a while.

The problem with this, and perhaps the researchers are unaware is that using alzheimers models and glucolytic agents is a slippery slope, alzheimers may be type 3 diabetes, which makes this study really had to generalize. Starvation extends life span longer then metformin in all trials conducted for example.

Type 3 diabetes is sporadic Alzheimer׳s disease: mini-review.

Abstract
Alzheimer׳s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia in North America. Growing evidence supports the concept that AD is a metabolic disease mediated by impairments in brain insulin responsiveness, glucose utilization, and energy metabolism, which lead to increased oxidative stress, inflammation, and worsening of insulin resistance. In addition, metabolic derangements directly contribute to the structural, functional, molecular, and biochemical abnormalities that characterize AD, including neuronal loss, synaptic disconnection, tau hyperphosphorylation, and amyloid-beta accumulation. Because the fundamental abnormalities in AD represent effects of brain insulin resistance and deficiency, and the molecular and biochemical consequences overlap with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, we suggest the term "Type 3 diabetes" to account for the underlying abnormalities associated with AD-type neurodegeneration. In light of the rapid increases in sporadic AD prevalence rates and vastly expanded use of nitrites and nitrates in foods and agricultural products over the past 30-40 years, the potential role of nitrosamine exposures as mediators of Type 3 diabetes is discussed.

CRAN extends lifespan but is a pain in the ass and for many people would mean a reduced quality of life.

There's something like 40 million people that take metmorfin, I think if there was any significant longevity effect it would have been noticed by now.

Not necessarily as the drug is only prescribed to people with pathology, one that lessens life span, so if they have normal lifespan versus say insulin therapy, that is evidence. The real question is, will it extend a healthy humans lifespan.

No they are not, they are in the process of curing type 1 diabetes, it's not something you could have cured without advanced tech like genetic therapies. In type 1, it's autoimmunity, meaning your body attacks the islet B cells of the pancreas, these produce insulin, it would be like asking them to cure castration.

You would need testosterone or a set of new nuts.

Type 2 is person induced, aka the cure exists, it's called being a active human. Type 2 is generally due to insulin resistance (could be iatrogenic, drug induced as in antipsychotics) in which there is insulin, but your fat shitty muscles won't take it up, they resist work like the person resists work. It's a fat lazy person problem.

So now that you know a little more, how would you suggest they cure type 2? by prescribing table push aways? how would they cure type 1? if not
supplying insulin? pancreatic transplant? that won't go very well most often. The antibodies to the beta cells will still be present, they will attack the shits again, so that won't work. There are many other avenues but they are also not going to really work out, gene therapy and stem cells offer the best hope, clone the cells or use pluripotent stem cells (this means they can differentiate into any tissue) which can create new B cells, the underlying auto-immunity would need to be addressed as there are often other systemic issues.

WOO look into the sirtuin system and hormesis. both viable imo.

Metformin may still help also, I would argue that it does, most agents that reduce glycation do extend life as AGE's kill people over time. Would it reduce all cause mortality? no, but glucose related damage, yes.. would I take it for this reason, fuck no, it does have sides, i have seen people shit themselves hardcore on it.

It's not though, human life span has been increasing, ipso fucking facto you can increase life span. So while taking metformin may not make you live to 120, it may help, there is reason to believe it. Other animals, some marine species don't age, it's very fucking possible and observed all the time.

How does Metformin work and how is it different from insulin?

Metformin really only works in type 2, it increases insulin sensitivity, so it helps with the uptake of glucose in the muscles, if your pancreas is done, you need insulin. In type 2 there is often enough insulin, the muscles simply won't acknowledge it, they are resistant. Type 1 insulin is out, so your muscle won't ever get the message in the first place, your body thinks you are staving despite your blood glucose being high.

A first human trial with gene therapies for age reversal has already started actually:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/3ocsbi/ama_my_name_is_liz_parrish_ceo_of_bioviva_the/

By 2016 they are determined to show first evidence of physical age reversal on a human. May turn out true, may not, but if positive - anyone invested in this company may become a millionaire overnight I guess..
Just merely the fact that this is happening is pretty damn amazing.
