These protocols, which are continually being researched and updated, have been published in tow successive editions. In addition, Mr. Faloon makes regular contributions to Life Extension Magazine the published monthly for tens of thousands of Foundation members and subscribers.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Progress in medicine is occurring rapidly, but there are lengthy delays between the time a medical discovery is made and when it actually becomes available to the public. The purpose of this book is to bridge the information gap between the research community and the practice of medicine.

At the Life Extension Foundation, we have long recognized the limitations of practicing medicine and have taken aggressive steps to assist Foundation members in obtaining access to the best medical therapies available worldwide. Since 1980, we have sought to integrate conventional medical practice with novel therapies substantiated by published scientific studies. We believe that optimal clinical practice should consist of the primary physician networking with a team of researchers to develop treatment strategies tailored to the needs of individual patients.

The public too often hears about a new life-saving therapy, only to be told that the treatment won't be available for many years. The need to change the way medicine is practiced has reached a critical stage. Too much vital knowledge is being overlooked by clinical physicians who cannot possibly keep up with it all. Patients needlessly suffer and die, although effective therapies that have not yet been accepted by mainstream medicine may already exist. This book has been written to help document the need to radically change the practice of medicine and to save as many lives as possible.

The information in this book is not intended to replace the attention or advice of a physician or other health care professional. Anyone who wishes to embark on any dietary, drug, exercise, or other lifestyle change intended to prevent or treat a specific disease or condition should consult with, and seek clearance and guidance from, a qualified health care professional. The book offers suggestions based upon scientific evidence. Patients need to be treated in an individual manner by their own personal physicians. This book must not be considered a substitute for the individual attention of a personal physician.

New medical information is being uncovered at an exponential rate. The first edition of this book, published in 1996, contained 327 pages and was based on 2500 scientific abstracts. In this third edition, the Life Extension Foundation's Disease Prevention and Treatment has been expanded to over 900 larger pages, which are based on more than 8000 scientific abstracts.

This review is from: Disease Prevention and Treatment (Paperback)

The size and weight of a telephone directory, this amazing volume puts together everything anyone would want to know about the latest scientifically proven treatments for most diseases from the common cold through arthritis and rheumatism to cancers and heart diseases.

The authors do not shrink from telling readers bad news where appropriate, and do not hold out false hopes or offer quack cures - all of this is hard, sometime brutal, science. However many recommendations are far better than you can get from an overworked doctor who hasn't time to keep up with all the latest advances. Full references are given so that your doctor can follow them up if he wants to check. As you are reading this on the Internet, you will have the facilities to go to the web pages given in the book where you get the very latest version of the article you have just read in the book.

The foundation that publishes this book is run by people devoted to prolonging healthy lifespan. They want to be part of developing a future world where death is optional - that is their prime objective, making money is merely a secondary objective in order to spend it on their scientific research. Many of their products are outside the ordinary government run medical systems, and they have had to set up their own quality control procedures to ensure that customers get the best possible results. They are not afraid to admit when they have been wrong and pull their own products from the shelves when appropriate. It is possible that this foundation will become the model for the way medicine is practised throughout most of the 21st century.

If you buy and read this book you will be reading about the medicine of the future, the medical practise of the future, and will learn what you can do right now to get the very best the world has to offer.
