KHL Foundation Launches a Medical Tourism Gene Therapy Program for Older Patients
The KHL Foundation, founded by longevity veterans Ken Scott and Helga Sands, has launched a medical‑tourism program that offers a gene‑therapy cocktail to people over 60. The Rejuvenation Cocktail combines intramuscular follistatin with intranasal klotho and SIRT1, targeting muscle, brain and metabolic health.
