Right. You would have to look at alzheimers, osteoporosis, arthritis, liver failure, heart failure, gut microbe health, and a million other things that can go wrong in old age. It's a tall claim to say "all this can be solved by telemerase". In fact, having one thing claiming to solve a million different issues is a big red flag for quack medicine.
A good rule of thumb in medicine is “anything that does everything probably does nothing”.
