Default Harvard scientists reverse the ageing process
In mice, reactivating the enzyme telomerase led to the repair of damaged tissues and reversed the signs of ageing.

That's the big news of the day. They did it with a protein that is presumably patentable once they get it fine tuned. But those of us who don't have time to wait might google "preserves telomeres" -

"Exercise preserves telomere length in the face of chronic stress ..."

"Omega 3 Oils Slow Aging by Preserving Telomeres"

"Stress Can Shorten Telomere Length and Age Cells Prematurely ..."

Currently (2011) taking 200/50 Sinemet CR 8 times a day + 10/100 Sinemet 3 times a day. Functional 90% of waking day but fragile. Failure at exercise but still trying. Constantly experimenting. Beta blocker and ACE inhibitor at present. Currently (01/2013) taking ldopa/carbadopa 200/50 CR six times a day + 10/100 form 3 times daily. Functional 90% of day. Update 04/2013: L/C 200/50 8x; Beta Blocker; ACE Inhib; Ginger; Turmeric; Creatine; Magnesium; Potassium. Doing well.
