I believe I have an ideal why we die and the problem is a blood problem. It is our blood that gives us life and youth. When we are young our blood has the right pranic energy to keep us young and as we grow older we loss this pranic energy which causes us to grow old. I believe if we could find the right kind of medicine that would give us back enough pranic energy, this missing ingredient that that we loss after youth we could live forever and never die, never grow old. Life is in the blood. Everything that lives needs this life force that is in the blood to keep us living and staying healthy and young. If we read the Bible people lived to be very old. Even Sarah at the age of 90 was very beautiful and attractive. Why was this? I believe that the people in those days had so much pranic energy in their blood that they just stayed young and it take them a long time to grow old. They even had children when they were like 130 and older. Adam lived to be 900 yrs old. Why can't we live that long today? Perhaps it has to do with the atmosphere changing. The atmosphere was different at that time then it is today. I am not sure if the atmosphere could be the key to why we run out of pranic energy and grow older. Scientist can't figure out why we grow old and die. Our bodies were made to live forever. I believe the answers to our aging problems is a blood problem. If we could fix this blood problem we would live forever. One of my friends said when we grow old we lack B-12 and this causes less red blood cells which causes us to age. So if we could put plenty of B-12 in our systems we could maybe slow down this think called aging. I hope that medical scientist will soon discover a medicne that will keep us young forever and destroy this think called aging. Wanted it be nice to be 150 yrs old and still look like 25 and feel like 25? Interesting link on the topic. www.buzzle.com/editorials/1-28-2006-87570.asp

If we read the Bible people lived to be very old. Even Sarah at the age of 90 was very beautiful and attractive. Why was this? I believe that the people in those days had so much pranic energy in their blood that they just stayed young and it take them a long time to grow old. They even had children when they were like 130 and older. Adam lived to be 900 yrs old. Actually, there's a much more logical possible explanation for how Sarah looked young at 90 and Adam lived to be 900...the way that We measure a year is not the same as how years were measured then. Age ranges in the Bible can be grouped into basically 3 sections. The first contain the pre-flood patriarchs, such as Adam, Enos, Seth, and Noah. They average livespans of 900-980 years each. Most likely during this time, a "year" was actually somewhere between a fortnight and a month in modern times. As most calendars were moon-run, it would make sense for it to be calculated from new moon to new moon (or full to full), or new to full, then full to new, then new to full, etc. This puts ages somewhere between 40 and 80, depending which way you calculate the month. The next age set falls between Noah's flood and the days of King David. This includes Abraham, Terah, Salah, and Nahor. They each lived for around 150-240 years. Given this number range, and that many of the people of that time had shifted to more farming oriented agricultural lifestyles, rather than nomadic and herding lifestyles, it would make very good sense that a year was calculated by seasons. So winter would be a one year, spring another, summer the third, and so on. This, puts ages around 40-60 years old. The third group is the modern (relatively speaking) population of the Bible, from the time of David, on. This includes King David, Solomon, and virtually everyone from the new Testament. The ages of those in this group falls into pattern with slightly lower than present-day life averages, which would lead to the assumption that they calculated age much the same way We do now. That has been mostly confirmed by scholars and historians as they have gone through and studied the Hebrew calendars, where they, too, had 12 months, of 30 days. Scientist can't figure out why we grow old and die. Our bodies were made to live forever. I believe the answers to our aging problems is a blood problem. If we could fix this blood problem we would live forever. Something in (or not in) blood is not the cause of aging. And actually, scientists have found out exactly why We age. As cells die, they are replaced by reproducing themselves...basically, making a clone. At the end of each chromosome there is something called a telomere. It shortens with each cell division and once it reaches the limit, the cell can no longer divide. When cells cannot divide anymore, they simply stop reproducing themselves to replace old cells until enough cells die that the person can no longer live. ...if we could put plenty of B-12 in our systems we could maybe slow down this think called aging. A lack of B-12 does not cause aging. Your friend is partially correct, though--our bodies need vitamin B-12 to produce red blood cells, which in turn carry oxygen to the rest of our bodies. Without enough oxygen, parts of our bodies start to die (this is called B-12 deficiency anemia). However, being old has nothing to do with a B-12 deficiency. People can become deficient in B-12 from having a surgery that removed some of their stomach or intestine, from taking ulcer medication for long periods of time, or from having some other disease or illness like Crohn's Disease or pernicious anemia. Too much B-12, while fairly rare, would not be a good answer, as B-12 overdoses cause rapid heartbeat, panic-anxiety attacks, chest pains, and numbness and tingling in the face or extremities. ~Isealdor~ sirlestat@juno.com

Thanks for sharing your input. I never knew they counted yrs different then we do. Thanks for explaining this to me.
I know after the Exodus they went by lunar months and a lunar yr is 354 days and every three yrs they add another month to catch up to the solar yr.

Thank you Isealdor. I had thought that they referenced time differently back then. And, as always, thank you for the nutritional/medical knowledge. Sincerely, Laurasia

Actually I was doing some math today on the age of Sarah and it actually does come up 90 yrs. Going by the Jewish calendar a lunar yr is 354 yrs and every three yrs there is one month added on to catch up to the solar calendar. If you average those three yrs out they come to a yr being 364 days.
If you average the solar yr out counting the leap yr it averages out to 365.25. If you times 90 yrs by 364 days and divide it by 365.25 yrs. Then Sarah would have been 89 yrs old instead of 90 yrs old on the solar calendar.
Now the Jewish religion counts a child as being nine months old at birth. So if you add nine months to 89 yrs she would be very close to being 90 yrs old.
These calculations are based on the lunar yr being 364 days and the solar yr being 365.25
This is how I did the math.
Lunar yr
354 x3=1062+30=1092divide by 3 = 364 or 364x3=1092
Solar yr
365x4=1460=+1+1461 divide by 4=365.25 or 365.25 x4=1461
Sarah's age in solar yrs. 90 x 364=32760 divide into 365.25=89+9 months=89 3/4
Sarah would have been 3 months away from being 90 yrs old.
