In fact, Iâve long told my patients that if they only improve one quality of robust health â in one system â it should be their immune system. Luckily, itâs easy to do. At the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine, Iâve helped hundreds of patients build an immune system that is younger and stronger than their chronological age. Let me tell you about a few of them. First, thereâs Rafique. He went from went from a biological immune age of 58 to 23. Thatâs a 35-year reversal. And Donald reversed his immunity 25 years, from 63 to 38. And finally, thereâs Mark â who went from a biological immune age of 80 to 40, for a 40-year reversal. When I measure a patientâs immune system, I can tell how well they are staying strong against infections of any kind. And after I put them on the road to restoring their natural immunity, they donât have to run from any threat...be it virus, infection, or otherwise. Iâve heard a lot of my colleagues in the alternative medicine field promise to help folks âboost immunity.â They talk about increasing vitamins D and C... adding more zinc...and taking herbs like ashwagandha and echinacea. Itâs important information. But it doesnât go far enough. You see, most of us have had accelerated aging of our immune systems. You canât reverse the damage and regain a robust immune defense without first activating telomerase. Itâs why I see such incredible results with my patients. Let me show you what I mean... Unique Results Of Patients At The Sears Institute At my clinic, I measure many different parameters of health to give my patients an exact understanding of how strong each organ, tissue, and system really is. Since starting this protocol over a decade ago, the immune age of these patients has reversed by an average of 13 years. As I mentioned above, one patient saw his immune age reverse an incredible 40 years! When your immune system gets younger: - Your body immediately becomes stronger and more vigorous...
- Your capacity to fight off infection dramatically increases...
- And you gain a level of protection that gives you unshakable confidence to act without worry or fear. Using a unique system of measurements I developed, we are now able to measure your bodyâs ability and directly improve it...making your body act younger than your physical age. The starting point is the biomarker. A biomarker tells us how old a particular function of your body is...regardless of your chronological age. T cells are good examples of your immune systemâs biomarkers. Biomarkers change in a predictable way. These changes can be measured and monitored over time. Biomarkers can also be acted upon to slow down or reverse their decline. What Makes My Immune-Boosting Protocol Unique When it comes to helping my patients increase immunity, I help my patients reverse their immune age by lengthening their telomeres. As a regular reader, you know telomeres are the tiny caps at the end of each chromosome...similar to the plastic caps on the end of your shoelaces. Telomeres protect the chromosome from the loss of vital genetic information when cells replicate. And each time your cells divide, your telomeres get a little bit shorter. If 70% to 80% of your telomeres get too short, your cells become permanently damaged. Critically short telomeres set in motion what researchers call a âdeath spiralâ in your cells.1,2 In other words... Young cells have long telomeres, and old cells have short telomeres. And according to a recent study, short telomeres age your immune system by 50 years. In the study, researchers at the Telomere Clinic at Johns Hopkins followed 28 people under the age of 60. All the people had abnormally short telomeres.3 Scientists found that nine of them developed infections commonly seen in people who have a severely damaged immune system â like a chemotherapy patient. These nine subjects â as well as eight others with short telomeres â also had abnormally low numbers of immune system T cells. T cells recognize and remember invaders, like viruses, and trigger defenses immediately when they try to infect the body again. Low numbers of T cells put you at higher risk for infections and make it more difficult for the immune system to rid the body of the infections. At the end of the study, the T cells of young people with short telomeres looked more like the T cells of people 50 years older. At the Sears Institute, I help my patients take control of how they age â including their immune age â by activating telomerase naturally. Telomerase is the enzyme that rebuilds your telomeres. Most traditionally trained doctors continue to ignore the science. But Big Pharma is quietly working behind the scenes to develop a new telomerase drug. Are You Ready For A Younger Immune System? As a pioneer in telomere science, Iâve been helping my patients protect and lengthen their telomeres for decades. I do this by helping them activate telomerase naturally. Over the last 10 years, I have identified at least 120 nutrients, vitamins, and other natural compounds that have the ability to alter telomere metabolism. If youâre ready to turn back your immune systemâs aging clock and reclaim the robust immunity you had in your youth, I invite you to call the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine at 561-784-7852.
