Iridium has been shown to stimulate the pineal gland and appears to fire up 'junk DNA,' leading to the possibility of increased longevity and reopening aging pathways in the brain.

For his doctorate, he went to the University of Pennsylvania, where he figured out how non-coding regions of our genome, previously described as "junk DNA," could play a role in disease progression.
