I hope this ends up working because I'd like to see many of you here stick around for as long as possible.

(198 posts)perhaps they would delay having children longer and maybe population wouldn't explode?

(16,229 posts)When you google TELOMIR to see what they actually are, what kind of structure in the body a telomir is, you pretty much just get hits about this company and even the death of the CEO of the company - not a great recommendation.
You'll have to prove to me this isn't snake oil until I would take it, or even give it to one of my dogs.

That was my first unexpressed thought when I heard he died, though.

(6,376 posts)They may be on to something but:
. big improvement within a day or two?
. claimed to successfully treat both old age, cancer and arthritis?
. no mention of side effects (virtually every medical treatment has side effects)
. not peer reviewed
. no apparent control animals (i.e. within a randomized, placebo controlled, blinded trial)?
. just hand out the stuff to a non-clinician to try it?
IOWs, has the unpleasant taste of snake oil.

(47,401 posts)But it seems kind of bizarre to me as to why/how she would get her dog with cancer approved for un-tested pill which was being tested not as an anti-cancer drug but as an anti-aging drug? As we all know, young people can get cancer too. So anti aging is certainly not the same as anti cancer.

(47,401 posts)Sounds like she got access to this medication for compassionate use. Which doesn't make much sense to me, since the medication wasn't even being studied as an anti-cancer drug.
Think. Again.
(22,456 posts)LisaL
(47,401 posts)I even looked on the company's website, and as far as I can tell, this medication is not even being tried as an anti-cancer drug.
Why would she get approved for compassionate use for a dog with cancer? And how would is start working in a matter of days?
Think. Again.
(22,456 posts)...has even been clinically trialed.

(47,401 posts)There is nothing actually published in peer-reviewed journals on this study about this supposedly miracle drug as far as I can tell.

(25,604 posts)Don't get me wrong -- I'd be inclined to take it myself, but there be dragons...
How do we value children when the need for replacement population radically drops?
Entire populations effectively addicted to a drug for their extended lifespans. What happens if the drug effects suddenly reverse or resistances develop in frequent users?
This could easily be the framework for a dystopian sci-fi series.
