 I've been very serious about attaining amd maintaining OPTIMAL health since
 1 Jan 93. Seven years and going stong. I'm 35 now and my mid term goal is
 to have no to minimal change in my bio-markers of aging at 50. One set of
 grandparents dead/one set alive at 93/94. My goal is at least 100, given
 current technology, which I think I could do. But 65 years from now, when I
 AM 100, I might have to revise my longevity plan! :-)

Thanks Al,
    Now, can we go one step forward. In addition, to working to maintain
good health has anyone read Roy Walford, MD; Dr. Atkins, MD, of diet fame;
Ronald M Klatz, MD or one of the many others that are working on life
extension. Some of these seem to be awfully close to having a method of
extending life. I believe they aren't talking about a method for achieving
immortality but about extending life well into the 100 to 150 year range.
    In addition, a couple of years ago I saw an article that Geron, inc was
expected to produce a major step forward in life extension within the next
5-10 years or even sooner.
    My problem is that I can read the literature but have no way of
distinguishing between the good and the bad.
    Has anyone else read any of the literature about the work of the life
extenders and have enough background to offer any guidance at all? Comments
anyone?
