PRESENTATION

Welcome to the website of HEALES, Healthy Life Extension Society!

Heales is an organization that informs and raises awareness about technological and medical developments in the field of biogerontology. We promote and support anti-aging research.

Our objective is to open up debates in order to warn the public, to question decision-makers and to propose a reassuring ethical framework around all these questions, raised by the movement that can be described as « longevity ».

This site aims to keep you informed of the association’s events and projects as well as advances in the field of science for the extension of life in good health.

News :

The association publishes a monthly newsletter: « The Death of Death ». All issues are available online. Subscribe to our newsletter.

At each monthly meeting of Heales, Sven Bulterijs reports on the scientific news of the month. You can consult them by following this link.


Every day around 120,000 people die of the effects of diseases related to aging. Aging is responsible for 90% of deaths in the most economically advanced countries and 2/3 of deaths worldwide.

Aging doesn’t just cause innumerable deaths, it is also the source of many debilitating illnesses like Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular diseases, muscular atrophy, decline of vision and hearing, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis …

The only way to prevent these illnesses linked to aging is to attack the principal cause – aging itself. It is time to start working toward solutions to this universal human tragedy.

According to the World Health Organization, health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

Gaining years of healthy life beyond the first 80 years of life will certainly require complex research, including: gene therapy, nanotechnology, innovative products and microsurgery.

A paradigm shift on the part of public authorities is to be hoped for and encouraged. When decision-makers perceive that ending all age-related diseases is a feasible goal, they can make it a priority.


Every 1st Sunday of the month from 2 to 4 pm, we have a meeting online. Contact us at info@heales.org if you want to take part.
