Brown Message #31795 From: Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2009 11:32:52 EDT Subject: Assistance requested Content-Language: en The new edition of Youniverse is not going to be a big seller nor accomplish any wonders, but something is better than nothing, and it will surely help a bit in recruiting new members for the cryonics organizations. Readers here can assist with very little effort and zero expense, maybe save a life. Just disseminate the page below, or/and material of your own composition. Adding favorable reviews on Amazon.com and CN.com (Barnes & Noble) would also help, if you have read it. Please take a minute to notice that some respectable people have been impressed by Robert Ettinger's latest book. Appreciation for the first edition of Youniverse: Professor Peter Gouras, M.D., Ph.D., Columbia University: "A classic for anyone trying to understand what this universe is all about...and it has many little things that add to the fun of reading it Professor Emeritus Henry R. Hirsch, Ph.D., University of Kentucky College of Medicine: aC Youniverse is one of the most important works of philosophy of this and the last century because it reveals the ideas and convictions of a visionary who foresees the possibility of a blindingly bright future for the human race. The guidelines which he proposes are notable for their wisdom and their good practical common sense. They are accompanied by many examples of applications which are useful and sometimes entertaining. In short, if one were limited to reading a single book on philosophy, this would be the bookaC Psychiatrist Jerry Lemler, M.D., former President of the Alcor Life Extension Foundation: aC Once again it's Bob Ettinger with his latest work, Youniverse, who leads us out of Hamelin yet again. For all vertebrate creatures on this particular planet, the amygdala, (in the limbic system), the phylogenetically oldest part of the brain, is the organism's "smoke detector" for existential threats. The zebra on the Serenghetti or a newborn human infant can merely react with the classic fight or flight response. As we acquire language, however, what irony it is that the added menu item is the freeze response. Youniverse comes to the rescue of this apparent paradox, as Ettinger presents the salient arguments that posit we deploy our higher cortical functions to launch top-down rather than bottom-up processing like our less fortunate evolutionary forebearers. "Plop. plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is!" A free sample (the first 25 pages of the book) is available at Universal-Publishers.com. A few minutes with this may interest you further.

Hi, Bob.?I believe you probably should be taking it daily, if you are not. It it the backbone of ATP?and is eliminated from the cell (e.g., heart muscle cells) with the decomposition of ADP to AMP when ADP to ATP is impeded in the mitochondria.? Very common phenomenon?in the elderly. Excellent post on betaine by oberon yesterday.? Thank you. In my last post, months ago, I mentioned "magnesium ornate" as being a placebo (i.e., a useless?form of magnesium supplementation); I meant to write "magnesium oxide."
