The article misrepresents one thing: It is not the world's first time we have reversed biological aging in a human. But, it is the highest percentage of reversal ever. 2 years ago, the reversal was 1.5 - 2.5 years. Now, this is as much as 25 years. HUGE breakthrough!
It's important to note that it did not reverse the subject's physical appearance or health issues. It lengthened telomeres. These are parts of our DNA that get shorter with age and thought to have a significant impact on our natural aging process.
The ageing process has been biologically reversed for the first time by giving humans oxygen therapy in a pressurised chamber. Scientists in Israel showed they could turn back the clock in two key areas of the body believed to be responsible for the frailt

Most of us don't have access to this type of stuff. Only the ultra-rich do right now. But, that should really change.

@NewWorldOptimist Hopefully not but it's kinda just the way the world works. My ex is still waiting for a shoulder operation... still got 7 years to wait... Someone that can afford it would be in and out so quick... Hopefully they would put it through medicare so it could be available to everyone

I'm really hoping not. We collectively need to take action before we see the dystopian world shown in scifi.

This is very interesting, and if it is true, then it has to be made avaliable as part of the health basket, as if a person has undergone this therapy it might be less expensive in the long run to the health funds for age related diseases.
