No makeup, No hairdo. Just walked out with the truth. It was a great experience and RAW. It is hard for me to watch as I am used to all my accoutrements but I felt the world needed a talk with pure honesty. I wanted you to see me.
-
Good luck! Be blessed!
-
Congratulations 🎉 I wish you godspeed 🙏
-
It's not the thirst for science made these presentations, but I can see the Love of a Mother to her Son made you stand here and gave us this boom light of expectation, no "The Future Reality"✨️✨️✨️
-
personally I would love to live to live forever
-
If nobody is trying to obtain immortality, how tf it gonna happen? how are there people seriously saying it’s impossible without trying everything? It’s incredible the kind of people that are responding here!
-
Liz, this is a great presentation. Good luck with your quest! We all need you to succeed!
-
Just impressive, Congratulations, you are a wonderful person. With your determination and ambition, I`m sure that you will win this battle and you will be able to heal your son very soon. I experienced the feeling of helplessness in the face of fate through 2 of the most beloved people in the family, my mother and my wife. I wish you a long life and the support of all the positive energies on the planet to win this battle you`ve started.
-
love you Liz.

I don't know why this was flagged - nothing she said seemed wrong in that she didn't say go try this. She tried her therapy on herself - kudos to her.
-
Excellent, I will support 100% just I glad to know how much cost this therapy. Thanks
-
Thank you for the work you and your team do, Liz!

If you don't put your sources as citations under the video how can you present anything as factual.

Liz, excellent work. I love your enthusiasm and support your initiative. I have a few questions.. 1. I know you attempted to lengthen your chromosomes, you never confirmed if this was successful? 2. If you delivered a gene that promotes muscle mass, wouldn’t this just be temporary? I remember seeing a home brewed lactose gene therapy experiment which only lasted 18 months which I assume would be about the same? 3. If these therapies are temporary, would you have to take all of these over and over after a certain period ? 4. Wouldn’t this temporary effect explain why your attempt at reversing biological aging was not successful? 5. I believe you should have also targeted expansion of the mitochondria through gene therapy as I believe this has a better chance in longevity. Thoughts? 6. Wouldn’t your immune system eventually build up against delivery of genes?
