Thank you all. It's really quite my pleasure to be here. And I want to thank the rain and the other members of the of the Cancer Control Society for being good not to invite me here so I could I could present to you on my birthday.
So don't ask me what my birthday is because I lie about my age. So I'm fond of saying that I'm 89.
OK, but let me get started because time is at a premium. I had expected about an hour to present this, so I'm going to go pretty quickly. In reality, I have less than 30 minutes. So who here doesn't know what antiaging medicine is? Anybody? That's great. Well, there's a couple. All right. Well, there's a lot of controversies and unnecessary, like unnecessary controversy regarding anti-aging medicine. Just let me give you the definition. I'm very fond of the definition because I'm the guy who coined the term anti-aging medicine. And so I had an opportunity to actually create the term. And that is anything it has to do with the early detection, prevention, treatment and reversal of aging-related disease. So Antiaging Messman covers covers a very wide umbrella of medical care. And certainly the early detection, prevention and treatment of cancer is anti aging because if you can prevent cancer, you're going a little bit longer, probably quite a bit longer than you would otherwise.
And that's going to lead to a longer lifespan, which is in fact anti aging medicine as might affect most.
Most underwriters recognize and acknowledge that given today's modern life expectancy, that if you were to eliminate cancer and heart disease as major causes of death, you'd increase the human life expectancy by about 13 years. And that's not so bad. Well, we certainly know how to intervene in cardiovascular disease. Okay. Anyone who comes down with a heart attack today is really either ignorant, genetically very unlucky or just or just plain stupid because we know how what the mechanisms of heart disease are.
And so to die from a heart attack today is a disgrace. We're in the process of beginning to understand what the mechanisms and what they've early her very early detection technologies are for cancer and therefore, to die of cancer one day in the future will probably, I would wager to say, would be a disgrace.
Certainly we have the tools to intervene very early on.
We can spot cancer when it's 90 percent sharable, which is stage one. OK, there are technologies out there, rapid MRI scans, total body MRI scans, C.T. pet scanning can detect cancers and tumors very early on when they're stage still
