Scientists claim that they have successfully reversed the human aging process in a group of older adults in a successful study.

Xygen Xygen treatment has altered the bodies of older people at the cellular level to how they were 25 years ago, the researchers claimed.

In a unique study, scientists used oxygen oxygen therapy to reverse the two key indicators of biological aging – shortening telomeres and reversing the accumulation of defective sensuous cells.

As humans age, their bodies experience shorter telomeres – protective caps on chromosomes – that lead to diseases including cancer, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Sensant cells, or so-called zombie cells, prevent regeneration in the body over time.

A method called hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been used in this study in an attempt to prevent the deterioration of both of these characteristics of the aging process.

In the study, published in the journal Aging, 35 healthy adults aged 64 and over were placed in Israel’s pressurized oxygen chamber and breathed in pure oxygen through a mask.

Sessions lasted 90 minutes each and lasted five days five days a week for three months.

The pressure chamber mimics a state of ‘hypoxia’ or oxygen deprivation, enabling tissues to excrete more oxygen, which has known regenerative effects.

The results show that the trial enabled telomeres to regenerate more than 20 percent, while their sensory cells were reduced by 37 percent.

This is exactly how their bodies were at the cellular level 25 years ago, scientists said.

“Telomere shortening is considered the ‘holy grail’ of aging biology, so many pharmacological and environmental interventions are being explored in the hope of enabling telomere expansion,” said Professor of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv. University, and co-author of the study.

“Significant improvements in telomere length during and after these unique protocols provide a new basis for the scientific community to understand that aging can indeed be targeted at the basic cellular-biological level and vice versa,” added Efrati.

This is the latest in a series of trials that try to understand the anti-aging process and make people realize, while prolonging life. The premise is that aging is cured like a disease, scientists claim.

In 2015, BioViva chief executive Liz Parish traveled to Columbia, where she claimed that receiving two demo gene therapies could lead to permanent changes in her DNA to counteract muscle damage and increase her telemors.

Parish has been criticized by scientists for conducting experimental treatments, but she claims that gene therapy reverses the biological age of her immune cells by more than 20 years. He recently claimed that death is optional.

Previous studies have revealed that a healthy diet and strenuous exercise can also save telomere length – but the experiment was unique because it surpassed natural interventions, the researchers said.

‘Until now, interventions such as lifestyle changes and strenuous exercise have had the effect of slightly inhibiting the expected short-term telomere length,’ said study researcher Dr.

‘However, the remarkable thing in our study is that in just three months of treatment, we were able to achieve such a significant telomere extension – at a much higher rate than any of the existing interventions available or lifestyle changes.’
