Inside the offshore clinic offering unproven gene therapy for aging

This was an investigation of an offshore clinic, not a controlled medical study. The clinic offered gene therapy, which changes cells’ genetic instructions, to people hoping to slow aging. There was no strong evidence from a large human trial showing that the treatment works or is safe. The treatment could carry serious risks, and being offered by a clinic does not prove that it has been properly tested.

What this means for you: Do not pay for this treatment based on these claims. The evidence is too limited to show that it extends life or improves health, and established medical care is safer.
