A Lot of Press Coverage Is Not So Much on Professor Charles Ko’s Scientific Contribution but on His Health Condition – Stories about His Loss of Memories and Disorientation. On Dec 8 in Stockholm, the Nobel LectureWill Not Be Delivered by Prof. Kao due to His Illness but by His Wife, Mrs. Gwen Kao.

The Story of Telomere & Telomerase

Hayflick Limit & The Shortening of Telomere

The Hayflick limit is the number of times, around 40 to 60 times, a normal cell population will divide before it stops. The average lifespan of a cell is two

years, hence the lifespan of a person is around 80 to a maximum of 120. Telomere shortening in humans eventually stops cell division.

Two Health Issues We Are Facing Today

Alzheimer : Brain cell

Scientific Discovery of the

Importance of Saliva

- Growth factors

- Stimulate cells to grow (anti-ageing)

- Repair damaged brain cells (anti- Alzheimer) by NGF

11

Scientific Research also Shows That Growth Factors in Saliva Decrease with Ageing

- Babies Usually Have Saliva Dripping from Their Mouths(精滿 )

- Whereas the Elderly Tend to Have Dry Throats & Phlegm! (sick patients also!)

TWO IMPORTANT RESEARCH PROJECTS ON SALIVA

According to a medical research conducted by Fukushima Medical University School of Medicine in Japan in 2005-06 and published in

Oral Science International, November 2008, the NGF amount in saliva decreased with age, especially for the group aged 70 years and

older. Research results indicate that the NGF amount in saliva is influenced by ageing, and saliva amount and masticatory function.

The medical research conducted by the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Karolinska Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden and published in Laryngoscope Volume 112 Issue in 2009 also shows that the saliva concentration of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) varies with

individual age, with the highest levels among young individuals, even levels during a mature phase of life, and low levels toward the end of

the life cycle. This growth factor is important for the formation of new blood vessels.

In the Case of Alzheimer Patients, They Have Lost Their Capacity to Make Nerve Growth Factor (NGF).

Result: Loss of Memory and Disorientation!

Nei Dan Rejuvenating Power

- The Super-Saliva Exercise ( 水 + 舌 = 活 )

- The Kidney Aerobics( 腎的健美操 )

External: Slow MovementInternal: Tranquility

Urban People Today Are Constantly Under Stresses & Strains (Over 100,000 Signals

Entering Our Brain Each Day).

Need To Quieten Down

Nei Dan

16

Most People Cannot Quieten Down Simply by Sitting Down or even Doing Sitting Meditation

Because the Mind Has Its Own Auto-Pilot!

Nei Dan Offers an Effective Way to Help the Brain to Slow Down through Focused and Very Slow

Movements Exercising the “Kidney”(Kidney+Brain+Hormonal System).

Time required: around 15-20 Minutes.

Results: Saliva Overflowing and Mentally, the Practitioner Arrives at an Altered State of

Tranquility (Peace of Christ or Buddhist Nirvana)

17

Results of Nei Dan Practice

Increase Saliva Practitioners: Healthier Peaceful (氣定神閒 ) Youthful Energetic Longer life-span

What Science Teaches Us

Saliva has growth factors: Help cells to grow Repair damaged nerve cellsSaliva flow declines as we age

Telomerase maintains the telomeres at the ends of the DNA thread, hence cells can continue to devide, breaking the Hayflick Limit which means a longer life-span.

More Research Required Especially From Academic Circle.
