Conferencia de Adolfo Pérez Agustí sobre “Nuevas soluciones para revertir el envejecimiento”

Welcome to the happiest year. I suppose there have been good things. Well, we are going to show, let's see, I have a question about the new title, conditions to reverse aging. With us, no one can say that the latest discovery has been made, and here comes the surprise. Yes, it is the latest discovery for reversing aging. Reversing means to live again, to be better than yesterday. Reversing aging, because medicine doesn't know that. I ask you, well, maybe we are arriving at the concept. This is called ageism. Do you know what it is? It is the evil of our century, the contempt for the elderly. And it's not young people who despise the elderly, no, no, no. It is politics that despises them because we cost money, it is medicine because we cost the hospital, doctors, pharmacies. We cost money. So ageism is more official and medical than society itself, because I don't think young people despise us. They like us because we give good advice and occasionally help them with money, or at least invite them. Yes, that's ageism, and it's terrible. Because I always wonder, why isn't there a subject that treats longevity as a medical specialty? I go to the heart specialist, I go to the digestive system specialist, but I don't go to a longevity specialist. It doesn't exist here. And why can't I go to a longevity specialist if I want to live 100 years or more in good health? Haven't you asked yourselves why the specialty of longevity doesn't exist in medicine? Geriatrics exists, it treats the diseases of aging. The gerontologist treats the causes of aging. Great, they help us a lot. But where is the one who treats longevity? Because there are people who live 100, 110, 115 years with fullness, and others are already wrinkled from the age of 60. Why doesn't the subject of longevity exist? Well, the subject of epigenetics doesn't exist either. I hope to live to see them at university. Epigenetics is truly the secret of life. Epigenetics is what surrounds the gene, the environment in which the gene moves. We stop giving so much importance to genes. It's not that it's genetic, what are we going to do, we inherited it. And now other people say no, what's important is not the gene that your great-great-grandparents left you. What's important is where that gene moves. What is more important, the person or the person's environment? What can do you more harm in life from birth, your environment? Your environment can ruin you or, on the contrary, help you. Well, this is the same thing that happens with the genes. Well, I have always been surprised, why doesn't that subject exist? Because it would cost money. Yes, it would cost. Someone says, I look on the internet and what are we going to do with so many people if they were all like you, 120 years old? It would ruin us. They tell you that. I say, kid, I'm going to take some of your money, I'm not going to ask for it. You are willing to ask for my money, my inheritance, my apartment, and everything I leave you, but I don't want yours. Well, we'll get there. Yes, well, that's what we're going to talk about. Let's see what medicine has discovered. I'm going to explain many things. So, just to emphasize two things: genetics does not influence as they have said. Geneticists are fine, but everything depends on the genes? No. If you have the stupidity gene, you will be stupid from birth until you die. Or if you have the obesity gene, it's genetic. Yes, I have a liver disease, but it's genetic. And don't you think there's a trick there? Saying it's genetic, we can't change it. Because if you carry it in your genes, what can I do with a gene? I can't do a face wash to clean it. No, genes cannot be touched. Well, it turns out that genetics studies inherited characteristics. But, and I repeat it, I know that some of you know it as well as I do, there is a procedure called gene methylation, in which the gene will express itself differently, as we please. It will express itself by giving more appetite to make us fat, or removing appetite to keep us thin. This procedure exists, it's called methylation. But the body does this methylation daily. We can also force it to do it in that sense. And only some rebellious genes, no matter what we do, will manifest themselves, like famous mutations, trisomies. We still haven't found how to modify them. So, the gene can be changed, what the gene does. Although if it's about beauty, better not to touch it, leave it alone. But if it's about fat, then I want to touch it. And then epigenetics is the environment of the gene. The environment of the gene is everything. The environment can be what we think. Don't you think there are people who have catastrophe and problems in their heads? Life is a mess, everything goes wrong for me. I say, no wonder you're bad all day if you're sending a message to your genes that life is bad. Well, the gene is suffering just like you. Epigenetics is nutrition, the environment. When I say, what do you think this environment here is? Look how clean it is, cleaner than the bars. It's free of microbacteria. Man, there are millions here, they are not visible, but they are there. Millions that sometimes affect us, sometimes not. We are surrounded by microelements. It's the way of dressing, the clothes we wear, closer to the skin, which can have more effect on health. What would that be? T-shirts, slips, panties, all that is stuck to the skin. Be careful with that. Maybe it doesn't reach, or maybe it does. Well, this is epigenetics, which as I have told you is a new subject that I hope will soon be in medicine. Before speaking point by point, I am going to explain which country has the most long-lived people in the world, and I am talking about people who have surpassed 80 years. Because surpassing 70 in my parents' time was an achievement, in my grandparents' time having 60 years with health was already difficult. Well, we have been evolving because the human being is an impressive evolutionary species. It is the only species that increases its average lifespan. Not even the Galapagos tortoises, which are said to be the longest-lived, increase their average lifespan. No species, not elephants, tigers, worms, or lizards, their average lifespan is what it is, and they continue living and dying within that average lifespan. The human being, why do you think it manages to increase its average lifespan? There are two theories, and they were said by the same man who was a Nobel Prize winner. He said the human being should actually live 120 years as an evolutionary species. Before, it lived 30 years. As the human being has evolved, it has evolved not only by building airplanes and bombs. The human being has evolved. Now it is at a point where it should live 120 years. When asked, maybe not. The one who lives many years appears on television and they kill him. So why doesn't he say it? Because the human being does bad things and doesn't do the good ones. I don't know if it's a religion, it sounds a bit religious, but it sounds nice. Do good instead of doing evil. Hey, it could be a good solution for all those people who go from a doctor to a specialist, from the specialist to the pharmacy, from the pharmacy to the hospital, all their lives. It's to say, you do good or you do evil, because maybe you are doing evil. I don't know. Put yourselves there. When we have many diseases and we do much good or evil, he says, well, the human being, 120 years, and because we do bad things and things we shouldn't do and don't want to do well, the country that gives the most games is Ecuador, Norway, Ecuador. In a zone of Ecuador, yes, Ecuador. But look at the paradox. Ecuador is a place that seems from afar, nature, the sea, the Pacific, everything they have there. Why is the average lifespan in Ecuador 60 years and in Vilcabamba it's 100 years? Vilcabamba is in Ecuador. That's called, but it's the same country. What does this little town called Vilcabamba have, which is at 10,000-14,400 meters altitude, which already indicates something, that it has no industries, which already indicates something, right? What does this town of Vilcabamba with 5,000 scattered people who live there have, compared to the rest of Ecuador, to be so long-lived? Well, look, they found the solution. I remember it because I was about to give a conference on longevity, a course that was going to last a week, and I had contacted doctors from Ecuador, the mayor of Vilcabamba, and we were going to organize an impressive longevity marathon there. And the pandemic arrived, half of the professionals who were going to come with me died, and I didn't either. What does that town have that the elderly are useful to society? If you go to the West, the elderly are not only useless but also ask for help. It's not that they are useless, let's not be rude, but the elderly in first-world countries start asking for help from the age of 65. They start asking for help from the State, family, friends, whatever. Help. They go from being a very useful person to asking for help. And it turns out that those people from Vilcabamba, and then we go to Japan, to Okinawa, those elderly people not only do not ask for help but also offer it. Each elderly person can offer what they want. Some offer affection, why not to their grandchildren? It's an example. Taking care of grandchildren so that mom and dad can go to the beach or go to work. That is being useful. So, taking care of grandchildren is a factor of utility. If you don't have grandchildren, get used to not asking for help and offer to the neighbor. How are you? Hey, if you want, neighbor Juanita, if you want, I'll come up to your house and help you make lunch. Oh, yes, because I'm a little unwell. And the elderly man, the elderly woman goes to the neighbor at 85 years old to help make lunch. That doesn't exist here. That is one of the differences that has been sought for why in those countries there are more long-lived and centenarians than here, where we have more money. It's when the elderly person feels useful to society. They don't ask for help. There comes a time when maybe they have to ask for it, but as little as possible. So you already have an idea to be, or if you want, well, the country that has the most long-lived people in America is the United States. And people say it can't be, the country of the hamburger, how can it have? And what does the United States have? What does Japan have? What do those towns in the Andes and the Himalayas have? What do those towns have that Spain doesn't have? We are in Spain. The group consciousness. The American, the North American, I'm not talking about Mexico or beyond, or Argentina or Peru. They have a consciousness of belonging to a group. We belong to the United States. In the United States, if someone burns a flag on the street, they burn him, because it's the group consciousness. It's my flag. I'm not doing politics, it's my flag. And that group consciousness, which bothers us so much, well, there are towns that have it. The Japanese have it. Yes, the Japanese have group consciousness. You know how the Japanese live. So don't be surprised that they have a higher average lifespan. That's why. Well, we continue. Let's see who lives longer, women or men. Women. And why do women live a little longer? I already started talking about being useful. Because the woman is useful all her life. The woman, when she becomes a widow, she is left without her husband's support, money, company, whatever, and she doesn't sink. The widowed woman, you are aware of many widows, how hardworking they are, they sign up for everything, but they don't sink. The love of their life has died, okay, but they continue there, they continue there. And the widowed man sinks. Everyone knows that a widower, careful, from there to death is a small step, because he doesn't find a reason to live. That's why women, of course, women. Now you have complicated your lives, and on top of that you work at home and outside. So, before you only worked at home, now you work outside, you are freer, and it starts to reduce because the man has taken a little of that responsibility, the woman has taken more responsibilities. Everyone is happy, but what is happening is that the average lifespan is coming together. Men live a little longer and women a little less. And if on top of that you have the habit, I have seen it, I see on the street that most smokers are girls, young girls. What has happened? More than young guys, what has happened? I say, if smoking was a foolishness of men, why have you taken it up? Smoking and drinking, they have taken it up. So it's cutting. But well, everyone is happier, I don't say that. This says that statistics is not a matter of opinion. Statistics are cold. It tells you the figures, whether we like them or not. The figures are that the average lifespan between men and women is coming together. Women, men live a little longer, women a little less. It's enough that we all live the same. When the average lifespan is 85 years, well, it's equal. That in no time, in two months, I turn 80. Can you believe it? In March I turn 80. No, that's a lie. That's the ID card that is mistaken. It could be, it could be. Who lives badly? Those in the professions I said: farmers, artists, industrialists, or the unemployed? Who lives less and who lives more? The unemployed, those in industries, artists, or farmers? Farmers. Well, according to statistics, and I say statistics, I didn't make it up, it's statistics. It turns out that those who live the longest are artists. And what would it cost you, once you retire, very retired, when you retire in 20 years, what would it cost you to get into art? I don't care if it's painting, writing, music. What would it cost you to get into one of the arts if you have free time? Some people have a pension and everything. I'm not saying, you have a pension, many even have an apartment already paid for. My God, what a luxury! An apartment, a pension, free time. Why can't you learn one of the arts? There, no. And we are going to learn to write. It's not that difficult. You can write by hand, but you can also write on a keyboard. Write your own biography, which is beautiful. I'm going to tell my life. When you realize, a pile of pages. What would it cost you to learn painting, drawing? Really, if in Madrid all that is taught for free. The arts are what give the most longevity and the least mental deterioration. Those who have the most mental deterioration and are less long-lived are the industrialists, the engineers, the architects. People who have worked all their lives with something mechanical, scientific. Doctors are not very long-lived either. Everything that has worked with something scientific has something, comparatively, with one of the arts. So now you know. From now on, a brush and start painting the flower vase at home. Why not? Well, you can make some comments. We are saying that artists live longer because they eat less. Hey, you have said a great truth. But you know that one of the secrets of longevity is to eat little. They say in Asturias, from large dinners, graves are filled. Secrets of longevity and health are to eat little. But on the contrary, it is said that there is another. But there are many more. Those who go without, without many things. Well, well, whoever wants now, take the snack that is left now at night, I don't care. But yes, one of the secrets of longevity is to eat little, and that's why intermittent fasting has become fashionable, which is 12 hours without eating anything, only drinking water. And it has given results as a method of health and energy. So, well, we will talk another day about what to eat and how, when, and where. Well, among the medicinal plants, everything I am going to say here, I'm sorry to say, is not in the medical prescription. Everything must be bought in herbalists, grown at home, or at the greengrocer's. All this is not in the doctors' prescriptions. If I find something that the doctor prescribes, I will say it, but usually it is not. Natural medicine follows another path, opposite to chemical medicine. Neither good nor bad, but opposite. So everything I am going to say is what natural medicine has found as factors of longevity. Many of these substances are taken by the great long-lived people. When Fidel Castro was asked, you are very well and you still have genius until the end of your days, what do you do to be so strong with that genius? The man drank moringa. He took moringa. And I say, moringa, I didn't know it. I say, but man, if Fidel Castro took it, who was a leader and had money, you know that Cuban medicine is one of the best in the world. One of the best because it investigates, as it doesn't want to depend on the Americans. They investigate their own conclusions and have achieved one of the best medicines and one of the best anti-aging medicines in the world. Who knew it? Cuba, look, it has lost, but because it investigates a lot. And Fidel Castro was the one who took moringa. Moringa, however, the pharmacies in Cuba are empty. There are two little bottles. Yes, yes, yes. Why take a medication? I say it. Why take a medication if a natural product exists? I don't know. I don't find justification. But well, well, let's start talking. And that moringa, you can't get it? You want to fly? I have a greengrocer's, one of those Moroccan ones, that also sells herbs. And among the herbs, besides anise, thyme, mint, they have moringa. And it costs you, a container that will last you a month, you won't even invest a euro and a half. I buy it there, the moringa. And who knew it? Nobody knew it. Fidel Castro and I, and some distracted person who knows. I have told him. It's like an infusion, an infusion or what? Yes, you make an infusion. You can prepare a liter to last you several times. Another day I will explain how to make an infusion, a tisane, which is different. But well, I will explain it, don't worry. And you see, you have a wonderful herb here. Who doesn't know? No, no, no, no one. There is also essential oil. Yes. And people believe that the secret is in the statins, the omeprazole, and company. How many pills do you take? Eight, eight a day. But eight medications? Yes, eight medications. I say, but aren't they many? The doctor prescribed them to me. And the person goes to the pharmacy, buys the eight medications, has already consumed them, and comes home happy as if they came with a toy, with a gift. They already feel happy. I say, man, the ideal is that you didn't take any, or one, but not. They feel happy. You can tell that I like natural medicine. It's not that it's bad. Then another day I will explain what I am doing, a great discovery. Now I will explain it well. Among the plants to be long-lived, to reverse aging, both things, to be in a state. Look, when I look in the mirror and I get depressed, I look at myself and I stay because look at that little face, those little eyes, that pista, and I no longer have energy in life. Well, this type of plant is good for all that, to revitalize a bit, reverse aging, and be more long-lived. The plant, apart from moringa, what is the most studied plant to reverse aging? Not that one, to reverse mental processes. I'm going to go alphabetically. The most studied plant, and I say at a medical level, is astragalus. Like the bone of the foot, but in plants. It is the most studied plant, and it was studied after the discovery of telomeres. Has it sounded to you today? I don't have to talk about telomeres. It's not my invention. It's a part that the chromosomes have to prevent cells, when they duplicate hundreds of times daily, from duplicating with errors or without errors. If they duplicate without error, health. If they duplicate with an error, disease and aging. Well, they discovered this. They saw that the secret of that healthy duplication was in the telomeres. And they say, okay, we already know that the fault lies with the telomeres. And now what? And I remember that a chemist from the laboratory on Miguel Ángel Street, where they made astragalus, told me. I say, okay, we have already discovered that the problem is in the telomeres. And now tell people, it's that you have bad telomeres. And what is that? Look, that thing that the chromosomes have there. And what do I do? Well, there is nothing to do. Go to the pharmacy. If they give you something with telomeres, go and try it tomorrow at the neighborhood pharmacy. Hey, I've been told I need to restore telomeres. Let's hope they know what it is. Let's assume they know. Ah, telomeres. Do you have anything to restore telomeres? They will stay mute. Well, yes, it turns out that those who discovered it, who won a Nobel Prize for telomeres, investigated and found several things, among them the plant astragalus. The extract. The extract. It's not the same. I say it a thousand times. For plants to be useful, you should preferably take an extract. The rest are well, pills, infusion. Take an extract. And they extracted the astragalus extract, which seems, according to the experiments done in those laboratories, that telomeres are truly restored. Who knew it? Nobody. That was a discovery, a Nobel Prize in the year, I think, 2009 of this century. Two chemists and a doctor, two ladies and a gentleman, won a Nobel Prize for the discovery they had made about telomeres, which was going to change medicine. It has changed. Has it meant something? In any of those tests that are done to you? Well, I'm going to do a blood test. Look, telomeres. Have you ever had a test that looks at telomeres? It's to say, listen, I'm not talking about myself, but about a Nobel Prize winner, someone who has been given a Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovering telomeres and the effect it has on health. I'm not talking about something from natural medicine, it's chemical medicine. Well, nothing. All that discovery has been useless. Zero. If you tell doctors, could you analyze my telomeres to see how I am? Look, what is it? It's true. We are at a point of truth. This is like in politics. Either someone gets up to protest or not. Astragalus, I don't say it's for everything. How do you take astragalus? Okay, okay. But I say that the best solution, and I know this because when I wrote a book about telomeres, a person called me. You, sir, have written a book. Man, I have to congratulate you. Well, I'll buy some books too, to see if I earn some money. But look, I have a laboratory. I am the director of an American laboratory that is here on Mos Street. And we analyze people's telomeres. And this book caught our attention. I ran there and gave the man a hug. He says, we have discovered what will cure all diseases. I say, how is it going? He says, we are going to close. But why? This is a discovery flown by a Nobel Prize winner. We are not going to close it. Because no doctor is interested. Ah, no? Why? He says, man, doctors have a reason. Because the analysis can be done. It cost 450. You do it for rich people and they will do it. But then we don't have any remedy. We haven't discovered any remedy until the research arrived. I was with them for a while, and they brought out the astragalus extract, and they made it themselves. Astragalus extract, extract, in a little bottle. But the laboratory closed. Sad. Well, that's how the whole story I'm going to tell today will be, because it's incredible. Well, we continue with the plants. One that sounds a lot. Let's see which doctor has prescribed this. Ginkgo biloba. Does it sound to you? A doctor who prescribes it? Some doctor prescribes it? Ah, I say, introduce me to him. Well, it means that ginkgo is one of the few plants that can be bought with a prescription. Even if you are retired, you don't have to pay for it. But it is one of the very few. And your doctor is an exception. Then you will tell me his name. I think ENTs are for tinnitus and vertigo. They prescribe it. That means it's a good application. Tinnitus. Ginkgo is also used for senile dementia and for memory loss. But for more things. It is used to ensure that the capillaries, which are very small ducts, do not close. Because with the passage of years, hundreds of capillaries close. And oxygen no longer reaches the brain, the heart, or anywhere. It reaches because the arteries continue to carry it, but the small parts no longer supply it. Ginkgo has that virtue of dilating the capillaries, not breaking the wall, not altering it, and allowing the blood to continue reaching. Well, what do doctors prescribe? Statins, or I don't know. They prescribe me something for cholesterol. They prescribe for circulation. Let's see. For circulation. Come on, say it. So it doesn't clot, so there's no thrombus. Nobody takes it. Nor do they say it. I wanted to go, but well, that can replace Sintrom with an added advantage. The problem with Sintrom is that it destroys the formation of platelets. So if something breaks inside, as there are no platelets, the hemorrhage goes and goes until it is discovered, if it is discovered in time. Ginkgo does not produce that. It does not alter coagulation. It allows the blood to be fluid, which is what is intended so that a clot does not form. Very reasonable. But it is fluid, but if an artery breaks or anything, it coagulates, it closes. That is the advantage of ginkgo. That's why Sintrom and ginkgo are not compatible, because both will do the same function and we cannot overdo it. And what consequences could it have for a patient who is taking Sintrom and on their own abandons it and takes ginkgo? Of course, that is an act of courage on the part of patients. I told one, you don't agree with the doctor? He prescribed me something. And what do you want me to do? I say, man, change your doctor. Your body, change your doctor. Seek another opinion, that would be the most sensible. And if you don't like it, you are free to buy it and take it. I say, the doctor doesn't come with a gun, take this or I'll shoot you. You buy it, you take it, and if you don't want to, you don't take it. It's like the one who tells you, you shouldn't smoke. Okay, at your orders. I'm not going to smoke because I already have COPD, my lungs are destroyed. Okay. But when he leaves the consultation, he goes to buy them because he is free. And if he continues smoking, because he is free. The same thing happens with alcohol. They forbid you alcohol, but the patient is free. He takes it or doesn't take it. We are all free to take Ginkgo biloba, to take Adiro, or to take nothing. It's a freedom I have. I say, well. What else is there? Another plant there, yes, there is one called mistletoe. I say it now because it's a Christmas plant. Don't you remember? You know that mistletoe was prohibited? Because as it was at Christmas, as decoration, mistletoe ran out and they prohibited it. And now it's allowed again because it has recovered. And mistletoe has two wonderful utilities. One is that it is a good hypotensive. But another is that it seems to be a good anticancer, even in the presence of metastases. Today I had a consultation with a desperate woman who had metastatic breast cancer with an average lifespan of six months. Of course, they tell you that. I say, don't tell the patient that. I don't have to tell her. Don't tell her that she is very serious, but we are going to try, at least. And you know that in six months she is going to die, but don't tell her like that, as if it were a sentence. In six months, the guillotine falls on her. No, man. Tell her that yes, we are going to try. Well, mistletoe is used for those metastatic states in which it seems there will be no remedy. There are other things. What I recommended today to that lady who had the breast thing, there is another thing that I will tell you. But mistletoe is used as an anticancer. Well, there you have the news. What else? Another very rich thing that I drink. What is my favorite drink? Green tea. Who knows what the number one drink for longevity is? Green tea. Well, I respect cider, but that's another thing. You can't drink it every day. But green tea, yes, I drink it once or twice a day without problems. Green tea is also one of the longevity herbs. And the Chinese discovered it. You know that the Chinese have their own medicine, traditional Chinese medicine. It survives despite the impulse and pressures it is receiving from Western chemical medicine, from ours. Despite those pressures to use medications, they continue with traditional Chinese medicine, even in hospitals. And they prescribe plants, their plants. They choose. It is compatible with Western medicine. Of course it is. The Chinese are smart, that's why they are almost in the first place in the world. They say, okay, we preserve our medical tradition, but we add that of the Westerners, who are not stupid either, and they have them united in hospitals. I remember that here, when I was in the hospital with COVID, it occurred to me, they give me a white thing they call milk. Milk? It has no casein, no lactose, no fat, nothing. I say, this is water. You, please, can I remove it and bring a green tea? Ah, we don't have that here. In a hospital, they don't have green tea. Well, they didn't have it. I say, but if we are talking about the beverage par excellence, and what better for a sick person than green tea? I didn't have that dirty thing they call milk. My God, it was a thing. I didn't take it well. Green tea. You already have another drink that you can have. In what form? Those little bags that you put in water? Well, let's see. Because there are people who say, man, but you say that herbs should not be boiled. No, herbs, when we make an infusion, should not be boiled. Herbs are made by putting them in cold water, subjecting them to heat. They heat up gradually. The herb changes with the rise in heat. And when it reaches boiling, you cut it. But you don't cut it at that moment when it's at 100 degrees. It boils at 100 degrees. They say no. Well, but it boils at 100 degrees. You cut it and let it rest for 10 minutes. That way, you don't destroy the herb. Well, what they do in bars is similar. If you go to a bar and ask for a tea, they put the water, it's not at the right temperature, but it's very hot. And they take the infusion, which is in a permeable little bag, completely, and they put it in. And besides, the plant is crushed. It comes crushed precisely to release everything the plant has because it is very crushed. You put it in hot water for 5 minutes, and you already have a great infusion. So what they do in bars is not a bad idea. And many of the plants are already sold in little bags, so you avoid doing silly things. What else? What else? Well, we're doing well on time. Another thing you know is vitamin D. Does anyone take it? Hydroferol? How is it called? Hydroferol. Hydroferol has become fashionable. Well, once a month. Once a month. I'm not going to get into Hydroferol today because I'm going to get nervous. But first, vitamin D3, because there are several. D3 is not a vitamin. It was a mistake when they started looking for vitamins. They said some were water-soluble. What a lot of nonsense they said. We are talking 100 years ago. They were water-soluble. And what does that mean? They are soluble in liquid. Okay. But the body does not retain them. Everything you take and don't absorb is eliminated through urine. So they are water-soluble. It can also be said in areas of deposit. Then D3 they said was a vitamin. It was not a vitamin. It was a sterol, similar to a hormone. The most similar thing to a hormone. What happens is that vitamin D still exists by inertia. Vitamin D. If they say hormone D, they don't take it. Oh, hormone, no. But it's not a vitamin. Well, it has been discovered that it has several effects. One on the emotional state, it's good for depression. Not bad. And another on the immune system. Not bad either. It strengthens it. It's good for bones. Well, we'll see that another day. I'll touch on that. That's why I'll say if it's good for bones or not. It's another of the longevity vitamins. Another vitamin, well, I won't say the one for hair. The one for hair, you already know it. I have a lot. Do you know what the hair vitamin is? Here I am with girls. You don't have that hair problem. How lucky you are. What do you do to have that? My God, what hair you have. If I'm not careful, I say, my God, I have to take care of myself a lot. You, how are you? Divine. The kid is fine. What is the hair vitamin? Because maybe if she has taken it, her wife gives it to her better. What is the hair vitamin? Well, look, absolute silence. Biotin. With B. Biotin. It is a B vitamin, harmless. But without biotin, neither hair nor skin grows. What a coincidence. The secret of little wrinkles will be partly due to biotin. It will prevent more wrinkles from growing than prudent, and hair from falling out. Biotin. Who knew it? If all dermatologists know it, and pharmacies. In a pharmacy, a vitamin for hair. What else? What else? Well, I'm not going to get into that because I have a lot of them. Let's see, let's see. Why do you take magnesium? Any of you? Any of you? For what? For bones? Good, bad, stupid, wise? Because I see that many people go to the pharmacy. Magnesium. How is it called? Mrs. Ana María la Justicia. She didn't earn money. And that reminds me of Dr. Aslan. Dr. Aslan, the Romanian. The money she earned with Gerovital. And why did she earn so much money? She was a doctor with Gerovital. She set up Gerovital clinics. Does Gerovital sound? It is still sold, but with the formula already changed. What did that woman achieve? She achieved giving a ray of hope to women who were aging rapidly. The first little wrinkles were already at 40 years old. And with 40 years, that they appear here on the lip, well, it's not the same as if they appear at 60. You take it well. Well, she managed to find the secret. And as she was a doctor, she found it. What did that doctor do? She brought out the secret. Gerovital has been all over the world, and the doctor's clinics all over the world. In Madrid there was also one. To rejuvenate people. What was the secret formula that Aslan had? The hormone of eternal youth. The hormone of eternal youth. What was it? She mixed procaine. Procaine is an anesthetic used in dentistry when they pull a tooth. Does procaine sound to you? She mixed it with a B vitamin called para-aminobenzoic acid. I say, what a clever woman. How has she been able to unite in a single element an anesthetic from the mouth with a B vitamin? What would that lady know? What studies would she have? More astonishing to say this mixture is perfect for rejuvenating. Well, she united it and brought out Gerovital and clinics all over the world. She brought it out in cream, in pills, in everything. And she triumphed. Because the truth is, the Gerovital that exists now, if you find it, is no longer Aslan's formula. Aslan's formula was patented, and when that happened, it disappeared. But look at the intelligence that woman had to mix two things that are apparently incompatible. Medicine advances when someone deviates from the norm. They say, I'm going to go my own way and see what I discover that others don't. That is the one who will discover. The one who doesn't follow the norms and goes in science. Well. What else? Magnesium. We are saying magnesium. Well, a discovery was made in the 30s. Nobel Prize in Medicine again. The story is already disappeared. DHEA. Dehydroepiandrosterone. It was discovered in the urine of soldiers in the war. Because look, there were soldiers in the war and they had to analyze their urine to see if it was infected, if the soldier could contaminate. And one of the doctors who examined that found that some soldiers eliminated a hormone in their urine and others did not. He began to investigate what those soldiers who eliminated the hormone had, and those who did not eliminate it. He found that those who did not eliminate it were stronger than those who expelled it. He says, and what does this have to do here? And he discovered that it is a hormone of adrenal origin. That's why someone has done an analysis of the adrenal gland. I say, I go another way. But well, the adrenal gland was called by Marañón. I think Marañón was not stupid. He was a smart doctor. He called it the survival gland. And was that gentleman stupid? No. That's why they have named hospitals all over the world after him. Because he called it the survival gland. And among the hormones that this gland produces is dehydroepiandrosterone. And he discovered that the soldiers, one expelled it, didn't use it, and the other retained it. He investigated, managed to isolate it, and patented it. And he was given a Nobel Prize in Medicine. He called it the hormone of eternal youth. How many of you have been prescribed DHEA pills by doctors in recent times? And I'm talking about a Nobel Prize winner. I'm not talking about my conjecture. It's that each thing is a Nobel Prize. Like those who discovered telomeres. And Dr. Aslan earned more money than most doctors of that time. And there were others who earned a lot of money. Do you know who earned a lot of money? Those who discovered the power of royal jelly. Take that, royal jelly. Do you know who popularized it? Pope Pius XII. Because Pope Pius XII was dying, not a farmer. Well, they brought him royal jelly. Well, this, as it is made by bees, cannot be bad. It is similar to honey. It's not honey, but well, as it comes from the same place. And he revived. And from then on, it was said that royal jelly was an element of beauty and longevity. How much royal jelly have you taken last year, 2024? Almost all of you, at least for a few months. Don't stop taking it. And when I don't take it, because I always interrupt anything like this for a while so the body doesn't get too used to it. So maybe I take it for three months and stop taking it, and you suspend and start again. Exactly. Here we have a wise woman. It's the bee. It's my favorite animal. And how do you take that royal jelly? Royal jelly should be taken as fresh as possible, then lyophilized. But well, laboratories know how to collect and manufacture it properly. If it serves to keep the queen bee alive, which is the largest of all bees, the strongest, the one that lives the longest. Really, we don't even copy the bees. What does this element have so that this bee, instead of being small, becomes the owner, everyone works for her, chubby, and lives longer? Well, she also works a lot. Yes, she works quite a bit, especially when they kill the drones. That means yes. Of course, of course. Yes, yes. The reality is, how long does a normal bee live? I don't know. Well, normally a maximum of two or three weeks. Two or three weeks. Look how long the queen lives. Count it. Well, she can live up to 7 years. 7 years. Like a queen. Like a queen. Until someone from another channel wants to destroy her. Well. Why are these natural elements? I just told you about the hormone of eternal youth, DHEA, telomeres, Dr. Aslan, royal jelly, and everything I am saying. Why is all this not in conventional medicine? I'm not saying it should replace medications. I say it should be united, and above all, it should go to nursing homes. And when they see that in a nursing home, maybe 300 elderly people are already like that, I say, of these 300, I'm going to get 200 out on the street at least. Do something so they can go out dancing again. No, no, no. Why doesn't the nursing home do it? If those elderly people who are a sorry sight recover, why don't they make money? There is all the money. Adolfo, I, royal jelly, if I take it after 7 in the evening, I already go to sleep. Man, of course. It's not a genius. Take it in the morning and it's done. Done. Done. If it can be liquid, yes. If the bed is fresh, you have to be very careful because you have to pamper it a lot. In a mixture with honey, 2%. Heat it? Never. Take it raw. Heat it? Royal jelly, look, caramel. Paco, the other day I bought royal jelly with propolis in candies. Royal jelly candies. Paco, royal jelly with propolis. Two and a half euros. I have it here. I hope it's good. I'm going to give one today. Man, but with me, really, what harm would it do me? Man, really. Well, what else? One little thing that is also a factor of longevity and reversing is ginger. Ah, okay. You already know it. What else? One more thing. I was going to talk about colostrum. Do you know what colostrum is? The girls know what colostrum is. Man, you're going to know. Colostrum is used to feed a newborn. Wouldn't it also serve an adult? Of course it would. Well, I've taken magnesium. You haven't said it at the end. Ah, magnesium. Magnesium, well, as it's fashionable. Magnesium is easy to specify. It is a mineral that is an antagonist of calcium. Almost all minerals have an antagonist. Just as all muscles have an antagonist. Some muscle that performs the opposite work to the one you are admiring, the one that bothers you. Well, mineral antagonists. Let's see. Potassium and sodium. Ah, you know them. Well, look how badly they get along. They are antagonists. One retains fluids, which is sodium. The other eliminates them, which is potassium. But both are essential. Look at that. It's not good to retain too much or eliminate too much. If you eliminate a lot, you dehydrate from potassium. And if you retain it, your blood pressure will rise and your body will explode. Well, the same thing happens with magnesium and calcium. They are antagonists. Magnesium is the muscle relaxant, while calcium is the one that causes contraction, with the help of the nervous system. But it causes contraction. When a muscle is cramped, I say, I ask the same thing. Are you taking calcium? Yes, of course, I have osteoporosis. I say, well, you already know where the problem is. You are doing an antagonist of magnesium. So, balancing the magnesium, which is the one that should relax the muscle, and as you take so much calcium, it doesn't relax, it stays contracted. And as there is no magnesium, it doesn't relax. You have to have a balance. There are people who do the opposite. They take magnesium every day because they have been told it's good for bones. I would tell them, really, do you know the composition of a bone? Really, I'm going to say how it can be good for bones. It is good for certain things, but don't tell me it's for bones. Because bone mainly needs enormous amounts of phosphorus. I said phosphorus. I said calcium. But well, we'll talk another day. And water. And magnesium, yes, but in minimal amounts. It is said, no. That is good for bones. No, no. This is good because you feel like taking it and you have money left over and you buy it. Magnesium. Magnesium is an antagonist of calcium. They must be balanced. Okay. Neither too much nor too little. So you have already seen magnesium. What else? Good for the brain. We are finishing. We have very little left. For the brain, there are two things. Look, there is one thing that life has taught me. Life can shake us. One can have an accident, become disabled, limp. Another can have a bad stomach, have had their gallbladder removed, can't digest. Another has a heart condition, has had a stent, a valve, and they function as they are. They continue functioning. Another can lose their sight. If the brain goes, your quality of life goes. So if there is a gland that you must pamper, it is the brain. I know that all are important. Sight, strength, being able to move at will, being able to breathe. I already know, I already know that each one is annoying. But if we have to say which is the most important part, it is this. As long as this continues to function. And we put the example of Ray Charles, the singer, and José Feliciano. They were blind. Didn't they triumph in life in their music? They sang wonderful songs. And like that, people can. And if you don't see here, the people of the National Organization for the Blind, how people are full of blind people with their canes and all. And they all live. But when this goes, what is it? Those people are useless. In a nursing home, if they are lucky, because someone washes their bottom and puts their food. If they are lucky, because it also costs money. And if not, someone goes to their house, a family member who can. If this goes, everything goes. Please, take care of this. What are the two things recommended for this? The first is bacopa. Who takes it? Bacopa. And then I have put the other, DMAE. Dimethylaminoethanol. Bacopa is a medicinal plant, while dimethylaminoethanol is a neurotransmitter that the body produces. But when it reaches a certain state, a certain age, certain complications, it doesn't produce it. And then mental clumsiness, dementia, Alzheimer's, and manias come. Both are essential. I will say why don't you take them periodically? Bacopa. By doctors who attend to the elderly, almost obligatorily. I'm going to prescribe omeprazole. Okay. Prescribe what you want, what you consider you should prescribe. Okay, to lower blood pressure, whatever you want. I don't care. But prescribe bacopa, please. Why isn't it like that? Not because of a bad idea, but because no one has explained it. And what else? Nothing is left. Because I was going to say a plant that has been found. Ah, that is sold. It is a food. It is wild yam. Yam, in Latin, is similar to yucca. It is peeled a bit and put in the same way as yucca with potatoes. It is very tasty. Very tasty. And it has a property to rejuvenate. In girls, especially in women, it has a wonderful effect. Well, look what I have left to talk about aging things. But I don't have time. So we leave it. Today is very good. See you. Very well. Come on. Bye. Always learning. Until next month. Yes, without carbonate. There are several. If you want, I'll tell you. C and I go. Moment. The moment.
