  • Is there a limit to the human lifespan? There are a few differing theories. Some argue that, yes, maximum lifespan is finite. Others think that with advances in medicine, the maximum could increase, but ultimately, our days are numbered.
    However, there is another possibility: the human lifespan is - at least theoretically - limitless. It's an alluring thought, supported by two recent studies and some pretty sophisticated statistical analyses.

    In 1994, the city of Arles inquired about Calment's personal documents, in order to contribute to the city archives. However, reportedly on Calment's instructions, her documents and family photographs were selectively burned by a distant family member, Josette Bigonnet, a cousin of her grandson.
    In 2018, Russian gerontologist Valery Novoselov and mathematician Nikolay Zak revived the hypothesis that Jeanne died in 1934 and her daughter Yvonne, born in 1898, assumed her mother's official identity and was therefore 99 years old when she died in 1997

      Interesting and easily plausible. Stuff like that, changing identities, happens way more than you think it does and makes much of these studies irrelevant.
      Just like the oldest KNOWN person from the turn of the century until now. Did we have the ability/technology/time/desire like we do now to really see who the oldest person alive was back then compared to today? There are millions of people who live secluded lives and in tribes that we will never know and even if we did know, it would be impossible to prove just how old they really are.
      Again, this makes all this data highly misleading and hardly worth categorizing as so called "science" which is a term that has been badtardized into oblivion to the point that it is classified as a religious belief with all the tenants that a highly constructed religion has.

      ​@@seantv1510 What she is proposing in the video is very intruiging, but so far it has not passed my smell test. Making a bold claim based on the furthest statistical outlier, and claiming that it can be generalized to the wider population? Besides, that statistical outlier, is more likely to be an anomally or error.

      There was a feature published that suggested that Jeanne Calment's daughter assumed her mother's identity when her mother died in order to hang on to her apartment. The article suggested that Jeanne Calment did not in fact live to 122 -- it was her daughter, living in the assumed identity of her mother who died. Jeanne had already died years before.

      This Wikipedia entry of Jeanne Calment goes on to discredit the Russian gerontologist and then the following entry is: "Robine, one of two validators of Calment, dismissed the claims and pointed out that, during his research, Calment had correctly answered questions about things that her daughter could not have known first-hand.[31][32] Robine also dismissed the idea that the residents of Arles could have been duped by the switch.[32][33] Michel Allard, the second doctor who helped verify Calment's records, said that the team had considered the identity-switch hypothesis while Calment was still alive because she looked younger than her daughter in photographs, but similar discrepancies in the rates of aging are commonly found in families with centenarian members.[7] Allard and Robine also mentioned the existence of numerous documents relating to Calment's activities throughout her life, and that Novoselov and Zak brought no evidence forward to support their hypothesis."

On another note, just to put into perspective the question of decrease in inflammation is a controversial subject since chronic, low-level inflammation seems to play a role in a host of diseases and science doesn't have a certain answer where it's good or not to have a low inflammation level.

    I don't think you can use mathematical statistics to draw any conclusions about the limit to human longevity IF we assume new medicine and suppluments (e.g. Rapamycin, NR etc) and methods such as fasting will be used consistently in the future. Because then the historical sample of human ages doesn't reflect the new probability distribution of humans that use longevity supplements and methods anymore

      Ancient people had less chronic disease than us and some indeed lived longer. Why, it's the (nasal) breathing. If you breathe normal your body is perfectly oxigenated, if your breathing is abnormal your body suffers oxigen shortage, you can read about it in every medical textbook. There are 2 things you can do to normalize you your breathing:
      - Practise breathing normalisation exersises to normalize your minute volume and to reestablish nasal breathing.
      - Have lot's of daily physical exersice/sport with nasal breathing and perspiration.
      Ancient people didn't need breathing normalisation exersices, they where automaticly breathing correct because of their healthy lifestyle.
      - Antropologists have concluded after much study that people up to the 1700's where mainly nosebreathers. After the 1700's people began to live more and more an unhealthy contempory lifestyle which in part made mouth breathing more prevalent.
      - Before the industrial revolution people had at least 8 or more hours of physical exersice a day. This was normal because everything had to be done by hand because automated machines where not invented yet. Nowadays for most people 30 to 60 minutes of physical exersice a day is a lot so compared to people from before the industrial revolution we are couch potatoes.
      - In ancient times we held our own animals and grew our own food resulting in an healthy unrefined/unpoluted whole foods diet full of nutrients.

I suggest doing 72 hour fats instead of 48 hours to trigger stem cell activation (essentially free therapy) and keep IGF 1 low as well.

    So many ancient stories in all cultures and religions of people living so much longer. I think it is harder in today's society due to toxins and mindsets, but we've seen how the body can heal itself. So many people starting to heal themselves of cancer by fasting when modern medicine will tell you this isn't possible. Other times we see the body regenerate itself through exercise or physical stress. I think this is the key, finding the balance between not fueling the body when it doesn't need it and activating the hunter gatherer mode like you've mentioned. The body needs to be given a reason to live! A body at rest tends to stay at rest, a body in motion tends to stay in motion, and attitude is everything! In the end we all know if anyone can crack this code, it's you Rhonda!

    The purpose of the Buteyko method is to normalize (or improve) your personal unconscious breathing pattern 24/7 so as to provide respiration in accordance with internationally accepted medical and physiological norms. Practically speaking, the method is designed to eliminate chronic alveolar hyperventilation (or too much breathing) and to restore the normal balance between carbon dioxide and oxygen in the lungs, blood and all cells.

    I enjoy this video. There has been a lot of debate on whether we humans can live indefinitely or for 120 to 125 years only. Before the last century it was thought that we can live for up to a century. However, I say we can live for 120 to 125 years - I myself want to live to be 120, which I turn in 2112. It's inevitable that we will live for 800 years someday, like I saw on a good website years ago. It's premature for us humans to die before age 100. So let's do so much in our lives, and life is wonderful so let's extend it.

    Dr. Patrick, the record never was 120. It was over 150. The source is the autobiography of a British Lieutenant, Henry Timberlake, who wrote about his life around 1800. He had lived with the indigenous Cherokee for about a year (around 1752). He volunteered to be a treaty hostage for a treaty between the British and the Cherokee. One might conclude he was either a crazy person or naive or whatever. Far from it. In his book, which I've read, he says that he learned that the elders included "a noticeable number of people around 150 years old and still quite active."
    He also said that even the older (to him) women in their 60's were physically performing beyond his capabilities. going from memory, he cited a woman he knew to be 62 (he was about 34) and she was carrying heavy weight and he admitted that he could not do what she was doing. He cited another woman that, by inference was in her 80's (she was the mother of four children - one of those children was his point-of-contact and he was around 60. This woman was carrying great weight and for a mile or two.
    In the Gospel of the Essenes which was re-discovered in the Dead Sea Scrolls (it was actually lost/hidden in the Vatican archives for hundreds of year and found around 1920), the author said that the Essenes life-span was about 120 years. That Sect was different - lived a more natural life and shunned the cities in the 1st Century AD. Christ is said/believed to have been an Essene. That Gospel includes a Q&A purportedly with Christ about life. One question was "HOw should we eat" His answer included "Chew your food until it is liquid." He also said NOT to eat anything that was dead - because you bring death into your body. So no animal meats but "dairy" was fine and no cooked vegetables.
    If one were to wonder if Timberlake was a credible witness, the answer is with the TN Valley Authority (TVA) who used his book in the 1930's to try and find lost Indian villages so that they could be
    archeologically studied and artifacts preserved - before the TVA flooded the valleys with the numerous dams they built back then. To this day they acknowledge that Timberlake was quite an accurate observer - giving him credit for all of the archeological findings.

    Minute 6:57 is the important part. HEALTHY old age. More and more research is showing that having more muscle mass tends to mean a healthier old age. It affects heart health, mobility, etc.
    It would seem starting before the onset on puberty to sleep well, avoid carcinogens, avoid processed foods, walk daily, hit 250 minutes of strenuous aerobic cardio (or reduced aerobic cardio with a few minutes of extreme anaerobic cardio such as sprinting) weekly, and begin pumping iron about midway through puberty.

    Life puts a toil on your body. The longer you live, the more chances of sustaining a serious injury that leaves you with a poor quality of life. Life also takes a toll on the soul. The longer you live, the more suffering you experience. You begin to see your loved ones pass away. You see your community change so much that it is no longer recognizable.

    While good diet and exercise can certainly extend our lives, I believe that humans (like all species) are genetically programmed to age (and eventually die) at a specific rate. The rate of this programmed demise varies greatly by species ... for example, 2 years for mice up to 200 years for tortoises. I think any major increase for humans will probably require some genetic alterations, and that will be extremely controversial if/when it happens. Who knows ... it may already be a thing, but one that's concealed from the general public.

      please, try acupuncture, rotational diet, herbs to get rid of parasites, soda bath/salt bath/herbs bath, winhof breathing when needed, self-massage (fixing organs on place step-by-step), eating pumpkin with curcuma when there is a problem with nauseous. Check with pepto (pink liquid) if that stops your condition - then consider trouble with esophagus that makes you feel sick non stop, later learn about GERD and how to treat it step by step. In my case, had same, 2 years of such a condition, thinking the life is over.. and I was 33 when it started like yours. 2years+ to start at least having some positive days and not to think what's wrong with my body, a year more to be back to my duties and always know how to fix the body when smth starts again, and now back to gym finally and can exercise proper, go out. I eat still thoughtful, any nauseous condition makes me alarming, but I know that it can be done and treated! the problem is none of the doctors could diagnose and help. What may it be despite other things, parasites which are literally everywhere and very diverse in species. It took me a year of every month antiparasitic pills (that one that are a horse treatment but for humans))) and surely that just my experience, i do not give instructions), so only in a year the very old unpleasant guests started to leave. Even when they were out and visible hospital could not use that for the diagnose as by a protocol they test only 1mm sample of a daily bathroom outcome, which can say almost nothing... That is not an easy way, but you can make it happen for yourself and for you in the future, just think about it! I am almost your aga and had that times as you now. I do see how body starts aging, but I disagree and fight and you need! If doctors don't see the reason of your condition, think yourself what can be in your system that brings toxins and makes you feel sick all the time. Learn wisely natural remedies and take your own treatment as the plan to write and make it happen. Set up a goal for you, like go to, I don't know, Brunei, Paraguay, hike somewhere, try sky jumping. make an exhibition, learn to play piano as pro, anything that makes you busy with the destination in the relative close and far future, so your body will be under your mind and will activate your nerves to trigger your own immune system in aim to safe your energy for the mental work, a work needed to reach the goal. We get sick not only because we damaged but because we loose our goals, hopes, dreams and wishes and then our self turns off immunity and starts fading as we do not want to live anymore ourselves. Desire to live long and young and physically and by spirit and the solutions will start coming from unexpected sides! And you are not along in your pain, there are people like you, like me, but if not us, who will raise ourselves back on trail? only we ourselves. Take your difficulty as a quest to pass and there is 100% an end of the obstacle and a reward after. Dream about that rewards and help your body help you to get it! I wish you recovery and quality of life, full of joy, meaning, good vibes and love!

    If “They” came out and said “The Life Expectancy is now 125 years old” people would start living on average to 125.
    What causes aging? Once that is known, (and I believe it is), our average life span then lies in the hands of those who control the chemicals, nutrition and conditions of the choices we can make.
    As life expectancy increases, the “basket of goods” will adjust so that you don’t really experience any gain.
    So long as artificial scarcity exists, the control of the life span remains.

    Longevity is strongly influenced by desire. A thirty year old will have a much stronger desire to live to 130 than a 75 year old. When the thirty year old gets to 75, will he/she have the same desire to reach 130? Tiredness, pain, boredom, grief, depression, loneliness etc can and do play a part in desire.
    Life is difficult for most. How many secretly seek oblivion? How many cannot admit to even themselves their desire for an eventual end without actually hastening that end by their own actions?
    Longevity is far more complicated than than finding the answer to the physical aspects of living longer.

I strongly believe that the bible also holds a lot of information on dietary practices and lifestyles that are likely man's historical application of Intermittent fasting (in various forms) that promoted long life and long health (it's recorded that Moses died at 120 years of age without losing his physical vigor, nor his eye sight, while Joseph died at 110 years of age; amongst other records of long and healthy lives in the bible).

    Can humans live forever? The short answer is yes, but maybe not in the way you may think. The reason people are always searching for ways to live longer is because humans were originally created to live forever. In the Bible at Genesis 2:16, 17 the only mention of death was in connection with disobedience. It was God’s original purpose that the whole earth would be a paradise full of happy, healthy humans living together in unity forever. At Ecclesiastes 3:11 the Bible tells us that God put eternity in our hearts. That is why normal humans want to keep living and search for ways to do that. God’s original purpose has not changed. Very soon now he is going to make drastic changes on the earth so that people who care about others and want to live in peace and harmony with them will be able to do so - forever!
