I have recently read the blog posting, "PART 1: Slaying Two Dragons with One Stone – How to Prevent Cancer and Aging with the Same Strategy" by By James Watson and Vince Giuliano. In this treaty the authors discuss the similarties in the "epignentics" and biological processes of cancer and aging. They concluded that those things which could prevent aging must also have to prevent cancer. In order to focus on this process they explain Xenohormosis as the stress response phytochemicals have evolved to protect both plants and animals from cancer. What they unveil is a first level molecular explanation for the causes of cancer and aging in terms of epigenetic silencing of good genes and activation of bad genes. Unwanted epigenetic signaling can be reduced by a selective diet of phytochemicals found in plant foods.
The graph below identifies the epigenetic causes and the most accessible supplements for reversing them. Many of these cross several causes and I have reduced them to eight supplements that I believe belong on my SENS list: EGCG (Green Tea), Curcumin, Resveratrol, SAMe, EVOO (secoiridoids), PQQ, Fish Oil and Fisetin.
EGCG (Green Tea Extract), Curcumin, and Resveratrol are already on our list so I will be adding SAMe, Olive Leaf Extract, PQQ, Fish Oil and Fisetin on the list. I am also adding Aminoguanida and B6 yet will explain this later. Understand that I am not suggesting I take all of these supplements but I am trying to take a scientific approach to narrowing down those that will do the greatest good in approaching the goals of the seven SENS targets.
