Quest: Repairing more hearts with implanted pumps (AP)

AP - When it comes to hearts, Taneal Wilson won the lottery. A small pump implanted to keep the 31-year-old alive long enough for a heart transplant somehow helped Wilson's ravaged heart completely recover instead.

The shelves of health food stores and supermarkets and citrulline dl-malate bulk nutritional powder overcrammed with all kind of products. You have the possibility to buy dietary supplements promising to clean your liver or lower cholesterol level. You may get something to help you conquer arthritis, cure cancer, revive your sex drive, fight memory loss or make you thin. There is everything for everyone. In US, people spend an estimated $6 billion a year for powders, pills and potions that help to slow, stop or reverse the aging process.

Many researches of aging have concluded that nobody can get all the nutrients he needs. As people age they need to use anti-oxidant supplements to stay in good health.

The truth about using such kind of supplements is somewhere between the conservative positions still claiming your food do not provide all the nutrients you need to the charlatans looking to see you gulping their potions every minute.

Currently is not possible to stop or reverse this process. The actual technologies only succeeded in extending the life span on seventy-six. I personally think that anti aging supplements are not a waste of money. However, certain people, have ignored them and yet have blown a hundred candles. But time will be the judge of facts, i'm sure.
