Life Beyond 100

"The idea of living well beyond one hundred years - and enjoying those years in good health - used to be the stuff of science fiction. No longer. C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D., whom Caroline Myss calls a "wizard-genius-scientist-mystic-physician," offers Life Beyond 100: Secrets of the Fountain of Youth. In this book, Dr. Shealy provides a new concept of longevity, one that reveals we can live far longer than current science suggests." "The result of years of clinical practice and cutting-edge research, Life Beyond 100 also exposes the fallacies behind many of the claims made by the medical establishment and the pharmaceutical industry. Shealy argues that rather than increasing people's life expectancy, these two groups create the opposite effect, consigning hundreds of thousands of people to an often miserable and premature old-age by treating symptoms with an antidote - prescription medicine - that is often worse than the ailment itself." "As a counterpoint, Life Beyond 100 provides the most ambitious - yet medically grounded and common-sensical - longevity program available." "Easy to follow and supported by advanced research, Dr. Shealy's guide to uncovering the secrets of youthful aging redefines the concept of human longevity and offers a new vision of healthy living to one hundred, and beyond."--BOOK JACKET.
