PERIASTRON is a newsletter describing scientific developments of interest to
cryonicists. It's been published now for almost 6 years. The best way for you
to see what it is like is to subscribe for one issue: $3.00. You can then
subscribe for any arbitrary number of issues for $3.00 an issue; it comes out
every other month (ie. 6 issues a year)... that is, if you want it. It comes
out by MAIL, so I would need your address (PERIASTRON, 80 Q. NORTH CABRILLO
HWY #247, Half Moon Bay, CA 94019-2172. Phone (415) 726-2251).

I will add that I had a much longer description in a cryonet posting a couple
weeks ago. You should be able to recover that. I will also take your email
address and try to send you more direct.

As for calorie restriction, the best person to contact on that (among those
who are cryonicists) would be Ben Best: ben.best% Since he
sometimes posts messages on cryonet, he may reply to you directly.

One other point about PERIASTRON: it does NOT deal with research into aging,
but more narrowly with research reports of interest to cryonicists. Virtually
every cryonicist is very interested in aging research and treatments for
aging, but there are many other sources for such material so I chose not to
deal with it. I will also add that (as Editor and Publisher) I put together
a reference book, A GUIDE TO ANTIAGING DRUGS, which does deal with that 
subject (I'm not connected with any organization selling such drugs, and 
tried to be as even-handed --- not just positive experiments but also side
effects and counterindications --- as I could). But that is a separate 
activity from PERIASTRON. I put together a free brochure about it which you
can ask for if you want to try a one-issue sub to PERIASTRON.

			Best and long long life,
