Are AGEs and Lipofuscin related? Could ALT-711 eliminate lipofuscin?

  This post contains information on chemicals I have never heard of and I
like that.  It also has an obvious omission dimeythalaminoethynol d.m.a.e the
substance cited most often in popular smart drug culture as removing age
pigment, if taken continously for A FEW YEARS.	Lucidril is
dimeythalaminoethynol and chlorphenoxyacetcacid.  This second compound being
a plant nerve growth hormone.  What has phenteramine got to do with LUCIDRIL
does chlorphenoxyaceticacid metabolise into phenteramine?  If it does I would
sure like to know, I'm onto my twentieth continual month of Lucidril.  How
can you take a few lucidril jump on an exercise bike and say it "doesn't
work", when it needs to be taken for a few years?  I have seen many anecdotes
from people who having done this have watched their age spots fade and
vanish.  I have seen more citations than nadys about the benifits of Lucidril
and more even on d.m.a.e. which is ment to work better when taken as
lucidril.  Josh.
