Dr. Ana Aslan

From Romania. Inventor in 1957 of Gerovital, commonly known as GH3 a anti-aging compound. I never heard of her before, but apparently her whole career was devoted the life extension, and at a time when life extension was considered idiocy. Her name should be well known on this board, but has anyone even heard of her?

There seems to be more information and studies about her GH3 than any other drug known to man, and yet I never heard of it till 3 days ago. If she were alive today I think she would be right with us, and what a lot she could tell us. There is a lot of information about her life and her fight to bring life extension to the forefront of science on the Internet. A google search on GH3 gets 310,000 hits.

Here's a little about her I found. This was probably written in the 70s. She was way ahead of her time.

ASLAN's TEN COMMANDMENTS
By Mircea Dumitru, M.D., Ph.D.

Professor Aslan proved that it is possible to fight aging. Everything she thought of, and carried out was like declaring war on old age. Her war was equivalent to those against cancer and smoking. Her wish to find the most adequate way of fighting made her affirm many times that "old age is a parasite of life."

Initially, the firm, prophetic convictions and attitude she adopted made some gerontologists regard her attempts with skepticism. Their distrust was motivated by the complex determinism of aging and by the insufficiency of some biological arguments. However, time has rendered more justice. In hundreds of laboratories, scientists are now concerned by new theories on the way people grow old. They are trying to find out the secret of youth and the mysteries of longevity. In the near future it will be the possible to double, or even triple the life span of the human being.

Dr. Ana aslan asked about what is old age. To bad there's not more like her.

When I asked Aslan, "what is aging and old age and how do we fight it?" she answered, "Old age is full of suffering and pain and I regard this as a parasite of life which develops slowly and whether you know it or not, it takes hold of us. From the age of 50 onward, I declared war on aging and old age. Gerontology and Geriatrics have enough possibilities to slow down the aging process and to delay old age onset. We are obliged to guard against and to explain to healthy or sick patients, what it means to grow old, and what they have to do in order to extend their life in conditions of quality. My treatment and my method is a solution, Gerovital-H3 ® is not only a treatment, it is hope, and when there is no hope, there is nothing."
