STUDY:  COVID-19 and Chronological Aging: Senolytics and Other Anti-aging Drugs for the Treatment or Prevention of Coronavirus Infection?

[00:01:53]   Dr Michael explains why this study and how it came about.

[00:05:05]   Azithromycin and Doxycycline falls into the antibiotic class of drugs. Rapamycin was originally also classified as an antibiotic.

[00:05:37]   Dr Michael shares his view on mTOR inhibition and drugs like Resveratrol, Quercetin being senolytics.

[00:07:12]   The discussion continues on to dosages for Azithromycin for Covid treatment.

[00:09:00]   Dr Michael replies to a question of Carl’s regarding eradication of senescent cells, the reduction of protein synthesis and mTOR.

[00:11:13]   Is there a linkage to blood sugar management and the synthesis of senescent cells?

[00:13:30]   The possibility of medications like Azithromycin as prophylactics as well as for the treatment of kidney fibrosis, is discussed.

[00:17:30]   Dr Michael elaborates on the uses of Doxycycline.

[00:19:00]   Dr Michael describes what kills people in this particular pandemic.

[00:22:30]   The discussion turns to the topic of biological age vs chronological age.

[00:27:16]   Follow the conversation on time restricted feeding and ketosis and its impact on senescence.

[00:33:16]   This further follows to an interesting and detailed discussion on senescent cells and the impact Azithromycin has on them as well as how it could have a significant impact on Covid patients.

[00:45:40]   Dr Michael conveys a message to other clinicians in the USA and UK on his view of what tools they can use in this fight against the virus.

[00:49:23]   Carl suggests a remarkable idea for a study, Dr Michael joins in – tune in!
