5.0 out of 5 stars All I know is this..., January 2, 2006

Let me say that I am not a Doctor, I am not an expert on this at all. I am just going to tell you what happened to me this past week, and you can take it or leave it...

I was selling a house to a prospect, and in the course of talking to this gentleman I found out he was seventy six years old. This blew me away. This guy looked no more than fifty-five, I kid you not. I told him so. He laughed and said," Alot of people tell me that. Have you ever heard of a book called Life Extension?"

I told him that I hadn't.

He then told me that he got ahold of the book thirty years ago and has followed the regiman religiously for the past thirty years. I am telling you, this guy looks good. He has lived a very active life, and at the age of seventy six he is starting a new business!

This guy so impressed me that I am going to used bookstores looking for this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Life Extension: A Practical Scientific Approach, July 29, 2000

Yikes! How can this INFORMATIVE, WONDERFUL book be out of print? My father cured himself of non-Hodgkins lymphoma using this book and I now need to have a copy to send to my son who is ill. Why doesn't every household have a copy of this book? This book is decades ahead of the rest of the world. My brother and I initially laughed at my Dad(about 12 years ago) when he started to talk about "free radicals" but he made a believer out of us! A couple of years ago he told us to stop eating TRANS FATS and now the government has picked up on the dangers of trans fats and is starting to make food producers label the foods with "Contains Trans fat" rather than "partially hydrogenated vegetable oil". If anyone knows where to obtain a copy of this book, please e-mail me! Thanks

5.0 out of 5 stars Way ahead of everyone else in the world in research!!!, October 19, 1999

This review is from: Life Extension: A Practical Scientific Approach (Paperback)

When I first read "Life Extension, APSA" in 1987, I knew that Pearson and Shaw were brilliant researchers who had spent the last 13 years of their lives studying the vitamins, minerals and amino acids that would greatly improve and extend life. Literally everything they had advised years ago has been proven to be true with later scientific research from "free radical" damage to developing the anti-oxidant formula. I gave their first book, after I had read it, to a friend with a terminal disease. I am now heartsick to find out that the book is out of print. It's a bible of prevention and cure. I have been following their "radical" plan for nearly 13 yrs. I am 53, beautiful, totally fit, feeling great and look a decade younger than I am. I am in excellent health, run races, and my doctors are always amazed at my lab work. But I do want my book back 'cause I want to live to be 100!
