Interview with J. Donelson Jones, Age 92, The Youngest Senior Citizen on Earth
I post below the questions and answers from Mr. Donelson Jones, who gives us some extremely interesting and important answers for all of us.
In the first place... HE IS HOLDING HIS OWN... This is REALLY interesting,
because Donelson has been taking growth hormone for ELEVEN YEARS and
one of the BIG QUESTIONS in my mind has always been: For how long
will I be able to KEEP these benefits? At what point will I start
to notice that I am growing old SLOWLY? According to Donelson Jones,
and according to Lazarus Long (Howard Turney) we will probably not
start growing old SLOWLY for a LONG LONG TIME! This is UNBELIEVABLE...
but that is what he is telling us... so, yes, it is unbelievable!
The second very interesting thing is that his dose has only been ONE
i.u. for all these years... but his IGF-1 is an astounding 670!!!
AND... he has had NO SIDE EFFECTS!!!
So there are TWO very interesting lessons to be learned...
ONE is that IGF-1 of 670 does NOT come associated with side effects...
And TWO is that a dose of ONE iu after a period of 11 years can even
GIVE an IGF-1 of 670! Either there is a mistake, or this is also pretty
amazing. Dr. Hughes sent a post a few years ago showing that after
three years some patients were LOWERING their dose and keeping their
IGF-1 levels the same... so what happens if you keep your dose the
same? Apparently, if there is no mistake, your IGF-1 will go UP!
Donelson Jones' diet includes all the good stuff: chicken, fish,
meat, and vegetables and fruits... Unfortunately, we do not know
how controlled his glucose levels has been, but it has been a lot
lower than if his diet included chicken and fish and also spaghetti
and potatoes and bread and muffins and breakfast cereals, as advised
by the infamous Food Guide Pyramid, and he is one of the few percentage
of senior citizens age 92 which is NOT diabetic... I could have, and
I did, guess that correctly. He also says he drinks red wine and
"four ounces of hard liquor per week" and also... he does NOT take
and has never taken testosterone, but he is still sexually active!
So if anybody asks me who I would like to be like when I am 92 years
old, my answer is "I HOPE I will be like Donelson Jones when HE was 92
years old..."
And if I can have one wish, I wish that Donelson Jones will be there
and come out and take a bow still looking like he is 70 years old at MY
100th birthday, in 2045...
(That way we will all know we might all get to 150 also!) - Ellis
Donelson Jones's answers to my questions are below. If anybody else
has some questions or comments to make, please send them soon. I am
tacking the questions and answers up on a page of their own, with my
commentary:
Thank you, Donelson, for the great interview. If you can get some
digital fotographs of you, they would go very well on the page I
am putting up.

Questions to J. Donelson Jones:
We would like to see some pictures of you. If you can get some pictures taken with a digital camera, I am sure we would all like to see them.
Can you please tell us if you were one of the persons that was in
the study with Dr. Rudman, or did you learn about his experiments
after it was published? I think Dr. Rudman did his experiments in
1990... Ellis
I was not one of the persons of Dr. Rudman's experiment. I read the
results of his experiments in the New England Journal of Medicine. The
results seemed so reasonable and well documented, that probably recklessly
on my part, I decided to go all out myself.
How did you get growth hormone in 1991? How did you get it from 1991 until it was finally available in the United States?
In 1991 I contacted my doctor friend in Mexico. We went to the Eli Lilly
plant and got the Hgh. I have been making the trip to Mexico ever since.
What did people think of what you were doing in 1991?
How many times have you been advised that you should end your growth hormone therapy because "we don't know the long term side effects" and how have you continued to take growth hormone in spite of these warnings?
No doctor ever advised me to stop taking hgh as they would have nothing
to do with my experiment. Though they obviously watched me to see the
results.
Did you go to El Dorado in Can Cun when Lazarus Long (Howard Turney) had his clinic there? If so, can you tell us what you remember of
the El Dorado clinic?
I did not go to the El Dorado clinic. My experiment has been completely
on my own.
Can you describe your diet to us? Roughly, is it high carb-low fat or is it high protein-low carbohydrates?
My diet is high protein, low carbohydrates. I eat white meat of chicken,
lean red meat, some pork, shrimp and fish, a lot of fruit, lettuce, and
I drink red wine and probably have four ounces of hard liquor a week.
Do you check your glucose levels?
I do not check my glucose levels. Frankly, I always have felt so
good I really do not worry at all.
If you have it, can you tell us your Hb-A1c (glycosilated hemoglobin) blood test result? If you have it, can you tell us your hematocrit and
hemoglobin test results?
I do not know my Hb-A1c or hematocrit or hemaglobin.
If you are 92 years of age now, and you began in 1991, you were about 81 years old when you started taking growth hormone. Can you tell us if you are better shape physically now, than you were at age 80?
I obviously have felt better after beginning growth harmone; but I think I am in as good shape now as I was at age 80. But I was in good shape then.
What age do you, or others, THINK you look like, ie, about what physical age do you LOOK like, in your opinion?
People are shocked when they learn my age. They say they think I am about
age 70. My opinion of myself is of no value, as I am naturally prejudiced.
I suppose that after you began to take growth hormone
your physical appearance improved for a while and then the visible benefits continued
to come but at a slower rate... And you say that it is a bit difficult
for a man of age 92 to fight getting old... So I would like to know if
you feel you are holding on to these physical benefits, or if you have
you seen that you are losing some of the benefits that you gained when
you began GH replacement...
After how many years on growth hormone did you start to lose the gains, if you have lost some, or are you still at the peak?
I do feel that I am holding my own and I don't see that I have lost any ground at all.
I think you wrote to me that your dose has been 1 iu per day... Have you increased it?
I take one IU per day.
Why do you think that your IGF-1 of 670 is too high? Have you had any side effects?
I said my IGF is 670 and that might be high, but I do not know. I have not
tried to be scientific. I have had no side effects so I do not worry. I have never had any side effects.
I suppose you do not have diabetes. Can you please confirm this?
I do not have diabetes.
Do you now, or have you ever taken testosterone?
I have never taken testosterone. I married 8 years ago at age 84. My
wife is more than 30 years younger than I am. We have sex on average of
once a week.
Thank you very much for your answers. They are unbelievably useful and interesting to anybody taking injectible growth hormone! -Ellis]
My best to you,
Donelson Jones

Note: I am not a doctor, and I do not give medical advice or treatment of any kind. My advice is limited to a discussion of nutrition and a general discussion of anti-aging hormones and available blood tests and therapies, etc. Please consult with an anti-aging doctor of your choice after you have consulted with me.
e-mail received on October 28, 2004:
"Here is my honest opinion of Dr. XXXXX: His office is a chaotic mess and he is extremely understaffed. Since as a patient I can never speak to him on the
phone etc. it is impossible to work closely enough with him to get proper dosing etc. He is so busy though that it is impossible to be monitored by him the way one should be when starting any hormone therapy. His phone is always busy, appts. are hard to come by and he is VERY expensive. The average visit ends up costing anywhere from $500-$750 depending on what he wants to do, such as blood draws, bone density testing etc. I plan to never go back.
He is a very smart man and very kind. I am currently using a small portion of progesterone which was recommended by him and have been taking DHEA and melatonin to help lower my cortisol levels. I buy my HGH from you, of course, and most of the other supplements he had me take made me sick, so I stopped taking them." - (a female patient of Dr. XXXXX)

It is like an award to receive a letter from a medical doctor that finds my pages to be useful for him and his patients.
"I am a plastic surgeon in Shreveport, Louisiana. I just found your two sites on the Internet. I've read your personal experience site twice and have read much of the Message board that contains over 6,000 messages. They are excellent.
I became interested in growth hormone and antiaging three years ago and have been taking growth hormone at bedtime for over two years. Like you, my results have been impressive. I'm 57 years old. I am 6 ft 1 in and weight 202 pounds with 9% body fat. I exercise regularly ( 5 times a week) and do moderate weight training.
My diet is good, high protein, moderate complex carbs and low fat. After reading your page I certainly need to improve it some.
Due to my personal results, I started offering anti-aging and growth hormone replacement to my patients 8 months ago. I've read much of the literature and have attended two meetings of the American Academy of AntiAging Medicine. Although it only been a few months my patients are THRILLED about the therapy and almost all are reporting specific areas of improvement.
Thanks so much for your work in this area. I want to return to Puebla for more Spanish education. Possibly I could include some time in Mexice City also. I would love to meet you. Gracias, Dr. Jim McDonald
Every anti-aging doctor that I know, and most serious anti-aging persons that I know, all belong to 
THE LIFE EXTENSION FOUNDATION. If you are interested in anti-aging therapies, I highly recommend that you should see their website and subscribe to their magazine. A search for "DHEA" or "testosterone" or "growth hormone" will turn up more than 20 superb, basic articles, protocols, and discussion lists. Life Extension has the single best anti-aging website on the internet, (including this one, which I think is the second best) with thousands of superb pages and articles, and it is constantly growing.
NOTE: Since 2003, Mail and packages from the U.S.A. have been received and forwarded to me by my consolidator, Access, U.S.A., in Florida. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this great service to anybody who would like a U.S. address. Access, U.S.A. service EASILY pays for itself in savings. It has allowed me to live in Mexico and save on costs by consolidating shipments of books, magazines, DVD's, catalogs, clothes, vitamins, and many offers which would normally be unavailable to me living in Mexico.

in Florida, and you want a reliable consolidator to forward your mail to you,

Note: For whatever it is worth, I am a very well-known in anti-aging circles.
I will give you the chance to earn a Diploma in Anti-Aging Therapies, signed by me. This diploma may not be worth very much to Health Authorities anywhere, but I hope it
will be worth a lot to you, for what you will learn.
Read my personal program below, then read all my pages in my Table of Contents.
Then e-mail me and I will send you a long examination. If you pass my test with a
95% or better, I will send you a Diploma in Anti-Aging Therapies, signed by me, at
cost, plus whatever you wish to add.
No Bull. Just learning, and good ideas. - Ellis

If you liked this page, and if you have a website related
to health, anti-aging, diabetes, or diet, and if you would like other people
to learn some of the good ideas which are on my pages and pretty unique on
the internet, I would appreciate if you would add a link to any of my pages.
Let me know, and I will be glad to reciprocate with an appropriate link
