How To Get Rich – A Book Review
by Art Kunkin
It might seem off-topic in this column about living longer to review the book by English multi-millionaire Felix Dennis titled “How To Get Rich.” However, I have come to realize that planning for longevity necessarily involves planning for one’s economic security in the desired additional years of life. In short, if one can live an energetic and healthy life for 200 or more years, as I believe is now becoming possible, why should one be poor? How will one survive when 150? Why not use your additional years of life to become comfortably rich and be able to afford anything you need and want? And this book definitely contains some of the best practical advice for creating a fortune that you will ever encounter. From raising the start-up capital necessary (more…)

Rejuvenate Yourself With 20 Minute Naps
by Art Kunkin
Last night when surfing the internet I came across a free electronic book titled “Staying Healthy.”
This eBook had many interesting chapters including one on the benefits of taking naps during the day. Since the publisher, Qualitybooks.com, permits reproduction of its free eBooks as long as the publisher is given credit (no author was named), I am taking the opportunity to present here the contents of this one chapter on napping.

Thomas Edison hardly slept at all except in 20-minute naps. Mark Twain was noted for (more…)

Is Distilled Water Dangerous To Your Body?
by Art Kunkin
In previous Living Longer columns I stated that the inorganic minerals found in the earth, and therefore in ordinary city tap water, are dangerous to health because they cannot be absorbed by the human body (i.e. are not biologically available). These inorganic minerals in tap water actually clog up the arteries and do much to prevent a long and healthy life, an important health fact that most people do not seem to know.
I also wrote in those columns that the best biologically-available water for the human body was that found in vegetables and fruit juices. This is because plants, when absorbing inorganic minerals from the earth, change the electronic nature of those minerals (i.e. ionize them) and thus transform them into organic minerals that were biologically available.
However, since the body needs water in amounts not available from vegetables and juices, I advised (more…)

The Longevity Bible – A Book Review
(The Secret of Longevity Is To Keep Breathing)
by Art Kunkin
Only a hundred years ago, people were lucky to live beyond age forty. Now, life expectancy has risen to age seventy-four for men and eighty for women. Recent studies show that the average sixty-five year old American can expect to live another seventeen years. And at present modern medicine is striving to keep us alive well into our nineties and beyond. But who wants to live to be one hundred without their health, vitality and faculties intact? These goals are well within our reach, according to Dr. Gary Small, M.D., director of the UCLA Center on Aging and author of “The Longevity Bible” along with his actress wife, Gigi Vorgan. (more…)

Last night I was up until the small hours of the morning reading this book from cover to cover. Frankly, this is one of those books I couldn’t put down until I finished it in one sitting. Therefore, I endorse everything said in the following italicized three paragraphs from the obviously self-serving promotional review on the Amazon Books website.
Nevertheless, following these paragraphs, I add several additional and hopefully pertinent comments based on the fact that for the past fifty years I have read and studied almost all of the same material on Freemasonry, Religion, Enlightenment, Immortality, Noetic Sciences, Consciousness and the foundations of our American democracy, etc. that Brown has used as his factual basis for this fictional novel.

In doing research for this column, I read a valuable article on aging published on the Internet by Dr. L. Stephen Coles of UCLA. In this article, the distinguished Dr. Coles presents 25 theories of aging offered by various scientists. The article was first written in 1996 and revised in 1999. Below I present Dr. Coles list in summary form.
In 2008, the English magazine Fortean Times published my own theory of aging and overcoming death in a cover story interview with me titled “The Last Alchemist: Has The King Of The Hippies Discovered The Secret Of Everlasting Life.” You can obtain a free copy of this important interview, a 26th theory, at the web site www.immortality-is-possible.com.
In this interview I explain (more…)

For many years I have been following the advice given by professional nutritionists Paul Bragg and his daughter, Patricia, in their book, “Water: The Shocking Truth That Can Save Your Life.” The Bragg’s agree that pure water is absolutely necessary for life. However, they also claim that ordinary tap water and most bottled waters contain dissolved inorganic minerals the body can not absorb, thus contributing to our aging and death. (more…)

The famous Harry Potter novels are fictional, of course, but the first book, “Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone” is actually based in part on a true story of a man wanting to live for hundreds of years. It is such a historically important and rich story that since 1980 I have spent many months of research in laboratories and libraries in several countries determining its truth. I tell this story here so that readers can better evaluate if my goal of living longer is possible and desirable.
In the novel Harry Potter, a student at a school teaching magic, discovers that a man named Nicholas Flamel has given the school, Hogwarts, a “Stone” that can turn lead into gold. This “Stone” also can regenerate a human body (more…)

She then goes on to give valuable tips on how to use the information she gathers from her autopsies to live better, smarter and longer.
Dr. G. believes that many deaths she sees don’t need to happen. She says these unnecessary deaths can be prevented (more…)
