X-Message-Number: 24463 From: "Michael C Price" <> References: <> Subject: Re: praise for Michael Price (was: Niacin prevents Alzheimer's and slows cognitive decline ) Date: Wed, 4 Aug 2004 09:45:17 +0100 My thanks to Thomas Donaldson for his kind words on the niacin report. I should add, though, that whilst I was alerted to the study by an email bulletin from the Life Extension Foundation (as Thomas surmised) my analysis was based on the study itself, not on the LEF's reporting of it. I frequently find that a study and the way the study is reported in the media to be contradictory. In the present case the LEF report was rather incomplete. As for the rationality of choosing between cryonics and anti-aging life extension, there is no reason why you can't do both. My decision to concentrate on the anti-aging approach, at least for the moment, is based in my age & health and my evaluation of the prospects for cryonics in the UK, which won't be applicable to most aspiring immortaists. Conversely, though, Thomas' post provides a very good reason why a cryonicist should not ignore the anti-aging approach - namely Alzheimer's may result in the suspension of a patient who has already been brain dead for years. A horrible prospect! Cheers, Michael C Price http://mcp.longevity-report.com http://www.hedweb.com/manworld.htm Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=24463
