X-Message-Number: 12903 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: new Updates available to those who own A GUIDE TO ANTIAGING DRUGS Date: Mon, 6 Dec 1999 22:32:11 +1100 (EST) Hi everyone! This notice on Cryonet will be of interest to anyone who owns a copy of A GUIDE TO ANTIAGING DRUGS. Basically, there are now several Updates available. Ginkgo biloba: The first of them is an entire chapter, Chapter 15, about a Ginkgo biloba extract and its use in prolonging lifespan. This chapter discusses not just the one experiment showing an increased lifespan, but some of the other uses of Ginkgo biloba extracts, and also one toxic effect. For those who want a copy of this Chapter, it is US $10.00 plus postage. HGH: This is an Update of the HGH Chapter 14 which discusses an experiment in which HGH did NOT increase lifespan. The reasons for this aren't clear; although the experimenters tried to follow the same schedule and other operations as the original experiment, they could not do so exactly. The new version discusses this experiment in comparison with the previous one. For those who want an updated Chapter, the price is US $2.00. This is more than the $1.00 price of other Updates because the change occurred early in the Chapter, and therefore forced everything else to move. Deprenyl: This is an Update of Chapter 8 on Deprenyl. In this case there is another experiment in which lifespan increase did not happen. When the successful experiments are compared with this one, it looks to me that this new one simply did not use enough Deprenyl. However you should be aware of this experiment in any case. As in the other Updates here, the price is US $2.00 for the same reason as for Chapter 8. Appendix 2: This is an Update of Appendix 2, which discusses known drugs which future experiments might prove to work, but which so far have not been shown to do so. In this case, the drug does seem to work in rats, but I have been unable to find any papers on its use in human beings. Since we don't know its effect on human beings (particularly side effects shown by some but not all people) it remains on the unproven list. This Update involves little change to the rest of Appendix 1, and has a price of US $1.00. All of these are now available. However those who want to write me at the address below should wait until I get a price for postage to the US and Europe. I will put this on Cryonet tomorrow. Naturally these Updates will be of interest only to those who own the book in the first place. Best and long long life to all, Thomas Donaldson PERIASTRON Publishing PO Box 208 O'Connor, ACT 2602 AUSTRALIA Telephone: 612-6257-4411 Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=12903
