TA-65, CVAC, Cryotherapy and DNA Engineering

This week, Brett and I are continuing the conversation that we began in last week’s podcast. It is based on an article in the August 2013 edition of Men’s Journal. The article was entitled, “Building The New Super Athlete: How Medical Technology is Reengineering the Human Body for Optimal and Mostly Legal Performance.” We want to continue our discussion by addressing the topics of Biofeedback. Biofeedback is Nobel Prize-winning research on telomeres that resulted in a product called “TA-65,” which consists of the use of hyperbaric chambers to fluctuate the body’s exposure to different air pressure densities, the use of super-cooled chambers to reduce body core temperatures, and the use of gene-splicing techniques aimed at putting gene sections into a virus that can be inserted into the human body to be replicated and grow muscle strength.
