The Human Genome Project and follow on findings have shown us that the principal causes of aging are hormone decline and telomere erosion.
A series of tests have proved that we can now prevent aging.
The cover pictures the hormones and telomeres which are at the heart of aging.
I wrote this book because my advanced age (78) has subjected me to the horrors of aging. I needed to find a way to slow my aging.
I actually found not only a way to slow my aging, but had some success in reversing some elements of it. If we slow and reverse aging for just a short time, we can be around when the new technologies now in development become available.
Many researchers believe we can eliminate aging. Some believe that the first immortals are alive today.
I wrote this book primarily for the baby boomers and their caregivers.
I have worked on it for several years and it has taken me an additional 3 years to write. The hardest part of writing it was trying to find an everyday version of the rather technical language involved in the research and in descriptions of our anatomy.
A series of tests have already proved that we can slow and eventually prevent aging.
This book describes the aging processes and identifies what you can do to slow and eventually prevent your aging.
My principal interests are true stories of the unusual or of the previously Unknown or unexplained, although I also write fiction. After graduating from Mississippi State University as an aerospace engineer I moved to Orlando Florida and worked for Lockheed Martin for 24 years, advancing to a Vice President of the Company and President of the Tactical Weapons Systems Division. I continued my education with a MBA from Rollins College and with Post Graduate Studies in Astrophysics at UCLA; Laser Physics at the University of Michigan; Computer Science at the University of Florida; and Finance and Accounting at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. After retiring I produced 10 films, directed 7 and wrote 5 all at Universal Studios. I formed UnknownTruths Publishing Company to publish my books of past events so unbelievable that most people have relegated them to "myths". I have published 22 books and have an additional 9 in development.
