Humans Will Work Until Age Of 120 Soon, Claims Doctor

Oct 7 2023

Just picture it – you’re a 100 years old and you’re waking up for another day at the office. According to this doctor, that may well be in our future.

Dr. Ernst von Schwarz, a distinguished triple board-certified physician, predicts that with advancements in stem cell research, humans may extend their lifespan to 120 years within a decade.

He believes that rather than merely treating diseases reactively, a combination of a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stem cell therapies could potentially slow down the ageing process.

Dr. Schwarz emphasises the significance of taking proactive health measures by the age of 30 to achieve a longer life.

While stem cells have shown promise in treating bodily damage and rejuvenating skin, their widespread application, especially in anti-aging treatments, awaits FDA approval.

Dr. Schwarz envisions a future where people not only live longer but also remain active and engaged in society, maintaining a high quality of life. Stem cell therapies, he argues, can address a range of issues from arthritic knees to brain damage, with minimal recovery time compared to surgical procedures.

Dr. Schwarz asserts that stem cell therapy represents a pivotal advancement in modern medicine, potentially surpassing even discoveries like penicillin and the detection of tuberculous bacteria. He remains optimistic that stem cell therapies will meet FDA standards and revolutionize medical practice.

Drake, the acclaimed rapper, has announced a hiatus from his music career due to health issues, specifically stomach problems.

This break comes shortly after releasing his new album, “For All the Dogs.” The 36-year-old Canadian artist expressed his intention to prioritize his well-being, emphasizing the need for a healthier life.

He said how: “I’ve been having the craziest problems for years with my stomach.” Drake plans to step away from music production for an indefinite period, possibly a year or more.

“I’m going to lock the door on the studio for a little bit. I don’t even know what a little bit is. Maybe a year or something. Maybe a little longer’.

This decision led to the postponement of several of his scheduled concerts, including performances in Toronto, Denver, New Orleans, Nashville, and Columbus, Ohio. His latest album, “For All the Dogs,” features collaborations with notable rappers like 21 Savage, J Cole, and Lil Yachty.

The latest album cover was illustrated by his five-year-old son, Adonis, who also makes appearances in the music video for the track “8AM in Charlotte” and contributes to the rap on “Daylight.”
