Dr. Benjamin Frank, MD
For nearly twenty-five years—from the mid 1950s to the late 70s, Benjamin Frank, M.D., pioneered the use of nucleic acids in the therapy of aging and chronic degenerative diseases. Dr. Frank reported the results of his research and clinical experience in four books published during this time.
His experiences were reviewed in two previous articles in Vitamin Research News that described the life-extending effects of RNA given to experimental animals, and the proposed mechanism of action for RNAs anti-aging effects.
Dr. Frank found that RNA had a number of profound effects: 1) anti-aging (including reduced skin wrinkling and increased skin elasticity); 2) energizing; 3) anti-anoxia (oxygen sparing); 4) anti-low temperature and freezing (as evidenced by increased survival of experimental animals subject to low temperatures); 5) anti-viral; and 6) cognitive enhancing.
This third article describes a number of conditions that are helped by RNA therapy, and some specific RNA protocols Dr. Frank used for these conditions.

Dr. Frank believed that because of the very pronounced anti-aging effect seen with increased nucleic acid relative to his own intake, he could live considerably longer, perhaps to near 150 years of age. He admitted that he had done no studies in humans of intakes of very large amounts of nucleic acids for prolonged periods of time.
It is apparent that aging itself is now a treatable disease. These results help ensure that a lifespan of more than a few centuries will before too long become a potential reality. — Benjamin S. Frank, M.D., November 1, 1978
Ironically, in less than a year after making this bold prediction, Dr. Frank had passed away at the age of 57-a victim of type 1 diabetes, a severe, age-accelerating disease which he had battled since childhood. It is a testimony to Dr. Franks brilliance that he survived as long as he did, suffering from as severe a case of diabetes as he had. |
