Publisher's Note This book describes 14 drugs for which at least one controlled experiment shows a lifespan increase in healthy mammals (generally rats or mice). Each Chapter examines one such drug for human use, accurately describing both good & bad features & includes discussion of doses at which the drug will increase lifespans of any humans using it. Among the drugs discussed: Coenzyme Q10, Selegiline, GH-3, melatonin, chromium picolinate. An appendix gives a list of suppliers. Although the "Guide" takes no overt political position against the FDA, it clearly discusses use of these drugs for FDA-unapproved purposes. While explicitly leaving any decision to use a drug to readers, it gives readers what they need to know to decide for themselves. In a short Introduction, it also briefly describes why readers might decide to use such drugs: controlled tests of any effect on lifespan of human beings would take so long that no one living now could use them. The science is well done; the moral & political issues receive almost no mention, by deliberate choice of the author. | See an error? Submit a change request | ||||||
