The philosopher’s stone: is longevity a myth used by hype mongers?

Nicolas Flamel, one of the most famous alchemists of all time has been known to have found the secret recipe of the legendary philosopher’s stone.  It was believed that the philosopher’s stone could transform common metals into gold and silver. That is not all, this stone could also be used as an elixir for eternal health and longevity. The philosopher’s stone was sometimes considered a common substance, found everywhere but unrecognized and unappreciated. Sounds familiar? The promises and statements made by the players of the longevity world can easily seem like myths and science fiction stories, not so dissimilar to the ones made by ancient alchemists. Simple changes to your daily routine, food, exercise, sleep, etc. can bring about fantastical changes in the long run; longer and healthier life. Naturally, it can be difficult to believe these claims.
