But BioViva is not against chronological aging, they say instead that they want you to get older by years. It is good to accumulate wisdom and experience. As a matter of fact they want you to get really old, but without looking old.

BioViva uses gene therapies are targeting the decay of aging cells themselves. Older people have the same cells as young people, the cells just perform differently. BioViva’s technology is changing the amounts of proteins created by the DNA in the cells to make them act as if they were young again. If you don’t look younger then the therapy has not worked. The common signs of aging are wrinkles, muscle wasting, obesity, loss of vision and stamina, and grey hair but if one were to look inside it goes even further and includes plaques in arteries, frail bones and declining organs. Reversing visual aging is an excellent biological marker of success in longevity medicine.

What is Normal?

For most of human existence our average life expectancy rarely went beyond 25 years of age, and up until about 300 years ago this was considered normal. In 1665 up to 90% of deaths occurred due to infectious diseases, while only 1% died of aging. Indeed death from aging was so rare that the great philosopher of the time Montaigne wrote “To die of old age is a death rare, extraordinary, and singular, and, therefore, so much less natural than the others;”

Fast forward to the present time and we see the advent of antibiotics and immunizations were big game changers. Only approximately 3% of the U.S. population died of infectious disease in 2010, it is now deemed an abnormal way to die, it makes headlines. Today most people in industrialized nations die from the diseases attributed to aging cells. The public at large considers dying from aging the normal way to die but the peo- ple behind BioViva say the normal thing for science to do is to change that. BioViva mainly works as a catalyst to help bring therapies developed by many different companies and research institutes to the patients who need them “We bring therapies to pa tients with no other alternative” states Dr. Williams BioViva’s CMO.

What does BioViva Offer?

The entire human genome was decoded in 2003 and this data has been the catalyst for the precision and personalized medicine revolution. We are getting a better understanding about which proteins are responsible for specific biological processes. For example, we are starting to understand the molecular differences between cancer cells and healthy cells. We know much more today about what youthful cells create and what old cells lack. And yet thousands of people are still dying every day that could benefit from our increasing understanding of the genome.

BioViva aims to solve this problem.
