General Description:
Anti-aging medicine, also known as life extension science, indefinite life extension, experimental gerontology, and biomedical gerontology, is the study of slowing down or reversing the processes of aging to extend both the maximum and average lifespan. Some researchers in this area, and "life extensionists", "immortalists" or "longevists" (those who wish to achieve longer lives themselves), believe that future breakthroughs in tissue rejuvenation with stem cells, molecular repair, and organ replacement (such as with artificial organs or xenotransplantations) will eventually enable humans to have indefinite lifespans (agerasia) through complete rejuvenation to a healthy youthful condition. (1)
The sale of putative anti-aging products such as nutrition, physical fitness, skin care, hormone replacements, vitamins, supplements and herbs is a lucrative global industry, with the US market generating about $50 billion of revenue each year. Some medical experts state that the use of such products has not been proven to affect the aging process, and many claims of anti-aging medicine advocates have been roundly criticized by medical experts, including the American Medical Association. (1)
However, it has not been shown that the goal of indefinite human lifespans itself is necessarily unfeasible; some animals such as hydra, planarian flatworms, and certain jellyfish do not die of old age. The ethical ramifications of life extension are debated by bioethicists. (1)

Rivera-dugenio, Jere: Speaker at the 2018 Tesla-Tech Conference on scalar Plasma Crystalline technology to reverse Disease and aging. He says that his experiments go beyond kaznacheyev's research and show that "aged and diseased cells and states can be reversed via scalar plasma crystalline technology."
