Young or old, our next president needs gene therapy.

In the future, BioViva believes gene therapies like BV-702 will be regularly used to enhance cognitive function and combat age-related decline.

Dear friends and colleagues of David Kekich:

In 1999 David founded Maximum Life Foundation, a nonprofit 501c3 corporation, dedicated to aging related diseases, age reversal and life extension. Those who know him are aware that he has worked tirelessly for years and has been one of the leading advocates for an extreme healthy life extension.

For the last few years David has been suffering with an enormous amount of pain stemming from a 40 year old injury that caused paraplegia and other related health problems. He has undergone several surgeries and countless treatments with no lasting benefits.

Recently hospitalized for yet another surgery that again didn’t result in relieving the pain (but did make things even worse including a massive deep bone infection and sepsis), David has at this point in his life exhausted his personal funds. He would never share or ask for help so we, Dona Folk and Kat Cotter, are doing so on his behalf. Funds will be allocated to all expenses not covered by insurance, such as home health care, nursing home, in-home caregiver, etc.
We really cannot stress enough how much Dave could really use your help right now, so please

"Dr. Amen, the author of books like Change Your Brain Change Your Life, told CNBC Make It about the concept of ANTs, or automatic negative thoughts (the kind of thoughts that pop into your mind and throw you off balance.“

"A new paper in the journal Science Advances describes the discovery of several promising small molecules that appear to reduce cellular stress in mouse skin cells and could lengthen life."

For many, getting older can unfortunately mean an increased risk of illness from cardiovascular disease to cancer. University of Michigan scientists are actively researching the biological underpinnings of aging with the aim of developing interventions that could potentially help people live longer,...

I'm David Kekich, founder and CEO of Maximum Life Foundation.

Memory loss and other symptoms of dementia are devastating. This brain disorder robs people of their identities and life. I know because I have experienced the effects of this disease within my own family. My father’s dementia sensitized me to the terrible human suffering that dementia wreaks upon victims, their families, and caregivers in ways that have to be lived to be totally understood. Because of my experience with my dad’s illness, I devoted my life to help identify and develop a technology that may reverse and prevent this dreaded disease.

My dad lived with me until just days before he died. I can’t begin to describe the anguish in watching his mind and identity being slowly and steadily eaten away. I hope you are not sharing my experience, but I suspect you may be since you’re on this page. If you are, there’s hope for you and your loved one. We know that when we reset telomere lengths in the aging rodent brain, the animals begin to act normally again, and we see the brains returning toward normal volume and function.

This article from Fight Aging is about microglia's role in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.

Maximum Life Foundation partnered with Integrated Health Systems for a human study with telomerase gene therapy, which is a promising avenue for preventing and possibly reversing the ravages of dementia.

Microglia are innate immune cells of the brain, responsible not just for destroying pathogens and errant cells, but also for clearing debris and assisting neurons in managing the connections of neural circuits. With age, microglia become ever more inflammatory and dysfunctional. This is most likely....
