RESUMO
Recent revelations restoring telomeres and using citicoline to rejuvenate cerebral function post-stroke make it highly probable that human lifespan (with acceptable cerebration) can be extended to a theoretical limit of 120-140 years. However, millions of people are already taking anti-aging products of uncertain quality and quantity without any objective measurements of their effectiveness, such as on short-term memory loss. No drug company will undertake these very expensive studies on nonpatentable products. FORCEPS was designed to evaluate anti-aging and SMART drugs, herbs and supplements through a network of practitioners in preventive geriatrics, communicating through weekly telephone conference and a FORCEPS newsletter. Currently, the focus is on acetyl-carnitine coenzyme 0-10, deprenyl (selegiline), gingko bilboa, phosphatidyl serine and piracetam. For prescription medicine such as deprenyl and piracetam. FORCEPS maintain alist od compounding mail-order pharmacies to facilitate in-office physician dispensing for non-FDA approved uses. The non-prescription items are available through the FORCEPS multi-level marketing (MLM) network, whereby the customers (including providers) can purchase the products wholesale and also derive income by sponsoring new customers who maintain monthly product purchase levels for self use and resale. The major incentives for customers to purchase through FORCEPS would be the motoring and advice in anti-ageing therapy, and the potential for income through sponsoring new participants in the MLM network. By providing products of pharmaceutical-grade quality and standardized protocols to experienced geriatricians, FORCEPS will coordinate and communicate the evaluation of these products among thousands of customers in the only way possible - applied real life research analysis to determine what really works.(AU)
