About the Author

Mitra Ray, Ph.D. is a wonam with a mission. She wants each and every one of us to live the longest, healthiest life possible. She believes that in order to do this, we have to be willing to take full responsiblity for our health and to begin to apply some fundamental principles of biochemistry and physiology in our daily lives.

As a biochemist with a Ph.D. in cell biology from Stanford University, Dr. Ray has worked in the area of degenerative diesases, such as cancer and Alzheimer's disease - her research funded by the National Institutes of Health, the American Cancer Society and an Alzheimer's Research Grant. But in 1994, Dr. Ray made an important life-altering personal discovery that changed her life and her work forever. After trying conventional methods of remedying excruciating back spasms - everything from complete rest to pharmaceutical intervention - Dr. Ray changed her diet, and her back pain subsided. Preventative concepts, such as whole food nutrition, became her new direction in research.

Today Dr. Ray shares what she has learned about prevention with thousands around the world. She has given health seminars to audences in the United States, Canada and Europe, and has sold over a million copeis of her Fountain of Health audiotapes.

Dr. Ray and her husband are the proud parents of two lovely, healthy girls.

5.0 out of 5 stars Want to live a long, healthy life? Read this book!!!, June 1, 2002

This review is from: From Here to Longevity: Your complete Guide for a Long and Healthy Life (Paperback)

I loved this book; I picked it up at the [store] because of the cool cover (shallow, I know, but read on), but within two minutes was so hooked that I couldn't put it down. We live in a society that is both obsessed with being thin, while at the same time grows increasingly unhealthy. Dr. Ray's premise is that we've come to expect degeneration, dependency and disease as a natural part of aging, when in fact all of these things can be retarded, or even eliminated. As a Stanford Med school educated Biochemist, Dr. Ray knows her stuff, and she shares this all important information in a way that is both fun to read and highly compelling. Want to live to experience true longevity, while being vibrant, fit and mentally alert? Start eating and exercising the way we're genetically programmed to do, and stop falling prey to fad diets and more drugs. Dr. Ray offers a bold new look at how to seize control of your health and your future. Warning: this book is recommended for people who are not afraid to look at their lives and their health in a whole new way, and who are willing to explode the myths of pharmaceuticals as cure-alls, and dieting as we know it as the way to health.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource, August 31, 2003

This book is a great resource because of all the charts and figures and the extensive bibliography. This is very important for sceptics like me who have to know the why of everything. But I must say, the thing that most impressed me about this is that a Stanford Phd who was a truly athletic person yet was humble enough to explain how her lifestyle was actually making her more and more sick and how SHE was an even greater sceptic who was driven to finding out everything that anyone could possibly find out about natural remedies and why they work. Lucky for us that she is sharing it in a way that ordinary people can understand rather than just putting it in scientific journals where few would have enjoyed the benefits. Thank you Dr. Ray.

From Here To Longevity is a GREAT read and EXREMELY beneficial! It just makes sense to get back to our "roots" in our diets as well as our daily living and this book explains how and why it is important. It is practical and necessary! Read it! Live it!
