I'm having a contest. The prize is 200 units of the quasicash known as greenzap webcash. with a random lesser amount of actual paypal funds to contest entries that specifically build their application on a theory of aging
visit http://www.greenzap.com to evaluate webcash.
The contest is: think of a new supplement, medication, or process that you believe will add years to life or life to years.
Winner will be announced on August 23. Post your idea here to be eligible. Until a different judge is nominated I nominate treonsverdery. Different judge nominations welcome here.
Here are samples to provoke your responses be as silly or as technically valid as you like.

Use the pruning n unpruning mechanism of swimmers fingers to pump lipofuscins n glycosylation products out of tissues
cumulative glycosylation gunk like is thought to challenge metabolic n repair mechanisms. That's a possible mechanism. Just as the amazingly simple but less than optimal CR affects tissue with a macro change A medication that affects the osmotic pressure of tissues perhaps combined with a nutritional surplus of supple less than average weight (leaky) fatty acids may with the use of water retention n outosmosis create a body situation where your tissues Plump n unplump just like human fingers that go swimming. supporting the idea that osmotically pumped body tissues will tolerate the procedure is that human fingers are full of sensitive nerve microorgans that are fully functional after a swimmers fingers unplump Measuring amount of glycosylation with sleeptime plump-unplump cycles will verify this strategy. Rapidly testable with lab animals and even food tissue samples with a glycosylation measurement way.

Cheap RNA lifespan increase availability
There's references that feeding rodents RNA makes them live perhaps 10 or 20 pt longer. Feeding people RNA is a bulky KG process. This is a fun way to make bulk lifespan improving RNA. Mass quantities cheap cheap cheap.
Nucleic acids are separable from plants with a kit that uses salt, etoh or isopropanol, as well as a detergent. Now skipping all the details visualize the manic juice guy on TV:
He's tossing grass clippings and yard waste n the juicer. he's got half a bathtub full of pureed lawn. He adds the antifreeze(dog edible kind)(an -ol), store brand laundry detergent, sidewalk salt as the recipe goes. He stirs the muck, then either pans n twirls up a bunch of nucleic acid polymers or just puts an item on his juice device to twirl it up. He's purified goop thats at least half nucleic acids. He gives it a rinse, then adds an orange. He drinks it being juice guy enthusiastic. He notes that mice fed the goop from his recipe live a third longer just like lab mice. True. He notes that lawn has a different GC:AU ratio than leaves, he's even throwing grass seed if you pick up the phone now.

Ordinary German people believe that drinking pee is beneficial. You don't know why but you believe them. You also doubt you will have people paying a pharmaceutical company to drink their own pee, thus you create:
the idea that drinking pee is beneficial because one or more of these is true:
veggies as well as things like green tea are benefial because they are metabolized with the liver to functional secondary metabolites. redrinking these secondary metabolites is beneficial. [optional teleological nonsense]Your product, which is farm animal urine, most likely pig as they have nearest physiology, is the secondary metabolites of gallons of pee absorbed onto an ionic resin. The farm animals eat variety vegetables. must have: lab animals fed your resin do better at whatever.
optional teleological nonsense: as millions of years of evolutionary time has passed the ability of organisms to develop organs like the liver to detoxify is a manifest truth. speculatively a better liver would evolve to transform difficult chemicals to useful ones, a little like different body systems transform erythrocytes to lipid dissolving gall, or carotenes to vitamin a. The secondary metabolites your liver produces likely have great value.
Use these items as a guide. Do Better. Create new drugs. Win fun Prize. The items described are public domain. every author retains full rights to ther respective contributions. There is a mention of this same contest at imminst.org supplements area, this is the only mention of the tiny random cash part if the contest item builds from a theory of aging My only affiliation with Imminst is as a member.

edit: changed wording on Funny Juice guy Item from a third longer to 10 or 20 pt longer
edit: doubled prize based on currency valuation
edit: changed nonsense decription of RNA ratio to GC:AU
