    Relax, you'll pop an undiagnosed aneurysm and end up broke getting a stent on the sidewalk. Seriously, good replies; hope the AC reads it, or has them read to him.

  • Cherry angiomas?

    [Read the article: Life will kill you]

    Cherry angiomas are these red spots people get on their skin. They are basically out-of-control blood vessels. Are these not considered a type of cancer? Recently I've had these things pop up everywhere on my body. No smoking, no drinking, no red meat, no soda pop addiction. And my quite old parents don't have any.

    I'm going to get them removed but they kind of scare me. I don't consider them a "cosmetic" issue when my body fails to recognize that it doesn't need to grow bundles of capillaries near the surface of my skin.

    I now noticed that a lot of people, people in their 20s, are literally covered in them. Big ones. Is this not something worth of serious study?

    All I ever see is them mentioned as some kind of minor cosmetic flaw.

  • Aging is a horror

    Wait until the wheels start falling off from important things like sight, hearing, etc...

    I believe it is a programmed series of events and it can be studied, understood and one day stopped and even reversed. The only thing that can get us there is SENS.

    http://www.sens.org/

    Look on YouTube for SENS presentations. Try to see what you can contribute to this effort.

    We need to study cases like Brooke Greenberg's and learn from it. We need to study progeria in the hopes that this extreme aging can shed some light on normal aging. Look into Alagebrium and hope it gets approved. Work to make sure it does.

    The savings in health care costs alone should make it obvious that this is the way to go.
