I would like to refer Mr Schroeppel to my periodical "Longevity Report". It has
always discussed ideas for low cost suspension, and in their time Ben Best
(Canada), Douglas Skrecky (Canada), Michael Soloviov (Russia) and Yvan
Bozzonetti (France) have all contributed articles on this subject. To get
further information, Mr Schroeppel (and others) are invited to email me at


Another worthwhile periodical for students of low cost suspension is the
"Canadian Cryonics News". To get further information on this, contact Ben Best
by email at Ben.best%

Provided ideas appear at least vaguely sound, I am happy to publish them in

Longevity Report and hope that by so doing there will be further development and
discussion. It is even possible that what at first sight is totally impractical

can be the seed of something more worthwhile after publication and discussion. I

can't talk for Ben best, but it would seem from its contents that his periodical
has a similar policy.
