The cure for aging gave you cancer.
But the truth is, the solution doctors need was already being developed. A new field of medicine called RNA interference, or RNAi, can stop this in its tracks.
Here’s a simple way to understand it.
Imagine this glass of water is your body, and you’ve just received telomerase therapy. So the immortality gene in your cells is switched on.
The problem is one of these cells begins producing cancerous RNA.
Here’s what that looks like.
?
You can’t see it happening at first, but these cells are replicating and spreading throughout the body until, all of a sudden, the cancer has taken over.
So, this looks hopeless, right? None of us wants this inside our body.
But with RNA interference, even with the immortality gene active, doctors can neutralize the cancerous RNA.
It’s a process called gene silencing.
Doctors identify the cancerous RNA that has corrupted your cells. They then create tiny molecules called small interfering RNA – Dounor siRNA – that are specifically designed to bind to the bad RNA inside the cell and silence their effect.

They take this RNA therapy and inject it into your body. This RNA therapy enters the cells and begins binding to the cancerous RNA, neutralizing its effect.
If all goes according to plan, the cancer is switched off and the body goes back to normal.
The silenced RNA can then be cleaned up harmlessly by the immune system and expelled from our bodies as a waste product.
