If I could save time in a bottle...
Well, now you can!
As reported in the Daily Record , a
little-known pill being developed which could help people live to the ripe old
age of 120 is about to be tested in Scotland. Steve Parkinson, the Scots-born
president of US pharmaceutical giants CereMedix , revealed the drug was set for
clinical trials in Scotland. He said: "Everyone taking [this] pill will feel
better and have more energy. Instead of pumping the patient full of chemicals we
will be giving them a more natural drug."
The new pill contains the protein ependymin, which is produced by the brain and stimulates the body into making its own disease-fighting anti-oxidants. These are found in fruit and vegetables and can combat the damage caused to our bodies as we age. Now researchers claim the new pill has the equivalent effect of eating 30 lbs of fruit and vegetables every day.
Intially, however, trials at Edinburgh University will test the drug on those with lung disease. The university's Professor Bill MacNee said it could also have a huge effect on the treatment of Alzheimer's and strokes. "If it works, it will have all sorts of implications, not only for lung conditions but any other disease in which oxidative stress plays a part," he said.
Such oxidative stress disorders include aging: The scientists say the ependymin pill will boost average life expectancy from 75 to 120 years. The drug - currently known only as 1152 will be available over the counter in less than two years and has already been successfully tested on geriatric mice. CereMedix President Steve Parkinson said, "We are all very excited about this drug for obvious reasons. We are confident that this drug will allow people to live an extra 40 years or more."
