MEDICINE 3.0
Rethinking Medicine for the Age of Chronic Disease
"Medicine 3.0 pays far more attn to mantaining healthspan, the quality of life"
"Longevity, itself,
and healthspan in particular,
doesn't really fit into the business model of our current healthcare system"
"money flows to treatment rather than prevention" (<--EXACTLY!)

MEDICINE 3.0
Rethinking Medicine for the Age of Chronic Disease
Medicine 1.0 = conclusions based on observations & guesswork
(no by more by "the gods")
2.0 = mid1800s - germ theory of disease, adding hypothesis to steps
AFTER DISEASE NOTED
100yrs less successful against longterm disease like cancer
3.0 = prevent tumors (etc) starting spreading in first place
emphasis: PREVENTION, quality of life

THE LONG GAME
From Fast Death to Slow Death
Epitaph same as
"UPSTREAM" by D.Heath
Longevity - 2 components"
*how long you live
*how well you live
"Death rates from cancer...
hardly budged in more than 50 years...
despite 100s of Billions spent on research"
"Medicine's biggest failing...
treat conditions... AFTER (disease) is entrenched
rather than before"
Protein so important
