Term paper instructions We are mostly dying from OLD AGE related diseases.

Your task is to find and argue in favor of the best anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and anti-diabetes drugs to slow the aging process and profile them meaning to provide a mechanism of action (MOA). You must select 6 different drugs Thus, seek a minimum of 7 text pages. These drugs are to be used in combination with the lofty goal (go large or go home!) of achieving a synergistic outcome of slowing or halting aging-related disease processes.

BE sure that 2 of the 6 drugs are cutting edge or experimental. Do some web surfing read medical journals and find 2 promising candidates (ex. Elysium Basis to treat mitochondrial disorders or Bioflavonoids: ex Baicalein). Provide their mechanism of action.

***BE SURE TO VERY EXPLICITLY EXPLAIN WHY EACH OF YOUR TREATMENT drugs were SELECTED, without the justification for your selections the work will receive “zero” credit (Include 1 reference for each treatment, web citations are allowed). Focus your attentions on creating the best treatment regimen to slow aging. DO provide your full name and Student ID # at the top of the MS WORD.doc file document thus, there is no need for a separate title page. If your treatments are “snake oil cures” similar to the use of coconut oil or cinnamon scams to cure diabetes, or naloxone to cure AIDS….you will loose credit Your drug treatments must : 1) have the an indication of success to slow aging (i.e. via anti-inflammation, reducing body wt, reducing mutagens, and stabilizing blood glucose levels). 2) they must work together
