Review: Life Extension Manual
The Life Extension Manual is written by Jerry Emanuelson. Based in large part on information extracted from Index Medicus, a monthly publication of medical research reports, the information is authoratative, but presented mostly in laymen's terms.
This Manual has 14 chapters (four more pending completion) and three appendices, with information on:
- Introduction
- How We Die: Preventing the Common Causes of Suffering and Death
- Melatonin
- Arginine
- Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
- DHEA and Pregnenolone
- Estrogen, Progesterone and Testosterone (coming soon)
- Glycemic Load (coming soon)
- Age-Related Anemia (coming soon)
- Chelation (coming soon)
- Deprenyl
- Chromium, Iron and Magnesium
- N-Acetyl-Cysteine
- The Tryptophan Story
- MCT and Fats in Your Foods
- Green Tea Polyphenols
- Nanotechnology and Cryonics
- Resources and Recommended Reading
- APPENDIX A: Misc. Notes on Vitamin and Mineral Supplements
- APPENDIX B: Notes on Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer
- APPENDIX C: When to Start a Life Extension Program
This is a good resource for general information on these topics. It provides sufficient technical detail to let you
know what is going on, without going too deeply into the chemistry involved, so a non-biochemist can understand the processes involved.
