The LEx Prize - US $1 Million to Stop Aging Now The LEx Prize is conceived specifically to inspire the minds and motivate the spirits of scientists. It is modeled in similar construct to the X Prize, that resulted with the world's first private spacecraft hurling into the edge of space in 2004. As a cash prize of US $1 Million, The LEx Prize will be awarded to the first researcher(s) or scientist(s) who accomplish the goal of reliably demonstrating the reversal or halting of the aging process in humans, as defined by The LEx Prize Criteria.

The winning scientists or researchers must demonstrate that the therapeutic program has reduced the objective biomarkers of aging in ten human subjects (ages 70 years or more), by twenty years each. Both Drs. Klatz and Goldman have pledged US $100,000 each. A4M asks you to pledge to The LEx Prize fund, either as an individual or organization. With your support, we can make The LEx Prize a success, and the reversal of aging a reality. Contact lexprize@worldhealth.net for details.

Concluding Remarks & Call to Action

Observe Drs. Klatz and Goldman: " You can always tell the pioneers by the arrows stuck in their backs, and the new emerging specialty of anti-aging medicine is no different. Like most major shifts in mindset, advances in medical technologies and social perception, new concepts, ideas and movements go through a similar pathway. First there is strong opposition, disinformation and attempts to discredit, then opposition, to be finally followed by copying and then calling it one's own."

Longstanding critics of anti-aging medicine are slowly but surely adopting the anti-aging message, supporting A4M's founding proposition that the US federal budget allocate funding to scientists to pursue near-term clinically based research into aging interventions. Presently, the NIH is funded at $28 billion in 2006, but less than 0.1% of that amount goes to understanding the biology of aging. Previous anti-aging naysayers are now proposing that the US government invest $3 billion annually to efforts to study aging-related disease.

Encourages Dr. Klatz: "Not only is it time for a sizeable federal commitment to study aging interventions, but it is time for the creation of a Center of Excellence where the world's greatest minds and talents in the field can conduct research and apply their knowledge in clinical anti-aging therapeutics. We issuing a Call to Action to establish The World Center for Anti-Aging Medicine." The crown jewel of the entire anti-aging medical movement, The World Center functions as a world-class, university affiliated research and treatment facility unique in its focus on the investigation and application of diagnostic and treatment protocols that extend the length and enhance the quality, of the human lifespan. Explains Dr. Goldman: "The Business Plan is largely ready for immediate implementation. The project's initial funding needs are estimated at US $30 Million, of which private commitments totaling US $3 Million have already been secured. For the shortfall, the A4M seeks angel benefactors who share our vision to realize anti-aging breakthroughs on an broad and wide-ranging scale."

With the continued increase in utilization of anti-aging medicine worldwide, greater numbers of the population will receive early screenings to detect illness, and disease will be treated at earlier stages. By lowering the incidence of full-blown illness, anti-aging medicine cuts the cost of treating disease. Anti-aging medicine, with its programs of early detection and treatment, also equate to extended healthy human lifespans in which debilitating or disabling conditions are minimized or absent.

Gerontology vs. Anti-Aging Medicine

As the goal of achieving healthy, productive, extended human lifespans grows near, those clinicians and scientists who have dedicated their professional lives to the pursuit of anti-aging in the form of safe, effective, and progressive interventions as advanced by the A4M have drawn much attention from the "biogerontologists" – biologists who research the processes of aging. As described by Dr. Robert Binstock and colleagues from the School of Medicine's Aging, Health, and Society Department at Case Western Reserve University [Binstock RH. "The war on 'anti-aging medicine,'" The Gerontologist, 43(1), 4-14], the contemporary prominence of the anti-aging movement "threaten[s] biogerontological researchers and practitioners." According to Dr. Binstock, much of biogerontology's territorialism towards the study of aging stems from "the marginal status" of that field that required a dozen years of political lobbying in the 1970s and 1980s to overcome. Yet, Dr. Binstock warns that "through their attack on anti-aging medicine, [biogerontologists] may be shooting themselves in the foot." [Radkiewicz M. "The war against anti-aging medicine," EurekAlert Press Release, Feb. 10, 2003].

The anti-aging industry, valued at $45.5 billion (2004), is growing at an average annual growth rate of 9.5%. By 2009, the anti-aging marketplace will reach nearly $72 billion. [Business Communications Co., Inc.]. Anti-aging medicine is now a worldwide movement too significant to ignore any longer.
