One fact about the future of which we can be certain is that it will be utterly fantastic. —Arthur C. Clarke, science-fiction author You don’t just want to feel younger, you want to look younger too. So do we. In this post, we tell you how you can slow down the wrinkling of your skin […]

The dangers of birth control pill use have been grossly exaggerated. Note in the figure below that the mortality associated with birth control pills is lower than the mortality associated with the use of no birth control at all ages except for smokers over the age of 40. Up to the age of 30, risks […]

In spring a young squirrel’s fancy turns because the days are getting longer, and exposure to longer light periods sets off a chain reaction involving the brain and pituitary gland, resulting in release of hormones that affect sex hormone levels and in turn cause the sex glands to enlarge and produce their sex hormones. —Joseph […]

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter which has important inhibitory functions in the brain, to prevent excess nervous stimulation at night so that sleep can occur. It is also a growth hormone releaser. Old people do not make as much serotonin as younger people. This is an important part of aging problems in sleep patterns. What can […]

We have had experience with several antidepressive nutrients and drugs. Phenylalanine, an amino acid found in relatively large amounts in meat, milk, cheese, and some other high protein foods, is a very effective and quick remedy for a wide variety of depressions, including the depressive phase of manic-depressive illness and endogenous, schizophrenic, and post-amphetamine depression.

The body has natural processes by which it removes lipofuscin from cells, involving detergent-like compounds. However, the rate of removal falls farther and farther behind the rate of accumulation. (Even a 3-month-old fetus may have some lipofuscin in some of its nerve cells!) The cholinergic drugs Deaner® and centrophenoxine have been experimentally shown in animals […]

As noted in the preceding chapter, choline bitartrate, the most common type of choline sold at health food stores, can cause diarrhea. If you do use it, you may be able to avoid diarrhea by beginning at a low dose and increasing the amount gradually. Choline chloride (also called choline hydrochloride) does not have this […]

GENERAL STAMINA can be greatly increased in a short period of time. For example, calcium pantothenate, the anti stress and life extension vitamin, has been shown to increase total muscular output: (stamina rather than peak output) in frog leg muscles-suspended in a pantothenate solution. Rats taking pantothenate supplements increase their total muscular work output very […]

There does not seem to be anything in the nature of the reproduction of tissue which demands its death. … One cause of senility after another will be found and removed, each resulting in only a minor extension of active life. One cannot help wondering what will happen if the causes are all known and […]

Let’s think about the effects of aging on OUR APPEARANCE. Under natural conditions, the skin shows age in a variety of unattractive ways, including wrinkling and loss of resiliency, both due to the damage mechanism called crosslinking. Cross-linking is the process in which proteins are linked together by bonds which prevent them from functioning properly. […]
