Interviewer: At the Health Freedom Expo where we're at now, there's a
lot of people that look at modern medicine as maybe holding us back and
then natural medicine as a way to go. What do you see in those two
paradigms?
Dr. Aubrey de Grey: I'm pretty much an advocate of Andrew Weil has
called "integrative medicine", in other words the taking the best of
both worlds, western medicine and from eastern medicine and getting the
most out of them.
Eastern medicine in many cases involves the application of interventions
that western medicine still doesn't have any real understanding of the
mechanistic basis of, but yet with a great deal of traditional history
out there showing they actually work.
Now, there are plenty of what might be called natural medicines that I
have no time for at all, you know. The whole homeopathy is complete
nonsense, for example. But there's plenty of stuff that comes from the
eastern parts of the world that have great value. Andrew Weil and I
don't see eye-to-eye on everything, I should point out. He's a little
confused, shall we say, about the possibility of doing something serious
about aging in the foreseeable future. He's not a proponent of or an
expert in regenerative medicine. But on this particular issue, of
combining the best of both worlds, from western and eastern medicine, he
and I are absolutely eye-to-eye.
