Morgan’s (JPM) “28th Annual Healthcare Conference.” Investors, company presenters, and entrepreneurs were emboldened by good biotech sector returns in 2009 of 18–28% with many stocks reaching new highs.

But it turns out that they were wrong. In recent years gerontologists have overturned much of the conventional wisdom about getting old. Aging is not the simple result of the passage of time. According to a provocative new view, it is actually something our own bodies create, a side effect of the essential inflammatory system that protects us against infectious disease. As we fight off invaders, we inflict massive collateral damage on ourselves, poisoning our own organs and breaking down our own tissues. We are our own worst enemy. http://www.vanleeuwenhoeck.com/article/can-we-cure-aging.htmThu, 22 Oct 2009 22:38:00 GMTWed, 10 Mar 2010 05:11:25 GMTA video showing what to expect from the Swine Flu and what companies will profithttp://www.vanleeuwenhoeck.com/article/video-swine-flu-expectations.htmMon, 14 Sep 2009 02:07:00 GMTWed, 10 Mar 2010 05:11:25 GMTGenetics is continuing to revolutionize medicine, and is throwing up some exciting investment opportunities.
