I received a big book as a gift. It also came with a 12 month subscription to a monthly magazine. From the magazine content I was immediately put off. It's full of supplements and natural remedies. But after cracking the cover on the big book and reading that Dr. Strum is on the board of advising Dr's (one of 26) I started to read it. It's called Disease Prevention and Treatment. It's made available by an organization called Life Extension Foundation. Anyone else see this book?

I'm a slow reader and it's taken a while, but the information looks accurate and interesting. They tout themselves as being able to expose data that is otherwise ignored by the medical profession. Important relationships that for whatever reason (the sheer volume of data) is not recognized by the medical community even though in some cases the data is published in credible publications like the AMJA.

I'm no medical genius, but this looks like the real deal. I've braced myself... Go ahead and reply...

LEF is not a bad organization. Like all of these entities, either you think it is valuable or not. They are not frauds or scam artists. They truly believe that life can be extended and are looking for ways to do it. Their sales fund research in areas that are often overlooked. Of course, dietary supplements are their main focus. All things in moderation won't hurt you in this case. Approached with common sense, this kind of thinking is simply another tool to fight any disease.

My wife used them for awhile, but found that she could buy the same products at a much lower price elsewhere.

I'm really glad to here this. I need to eat more tomatoes. :P

No meat, no dairy? Well I had two nice wheat bread (air) sandwiches for lunch. Washed them down with water. I know, I know, two of them? I'm such a pig! lol I've got to find something I can eat.

This is the magazine where I read about the importance of keeping estrogen and testosterone in balance in aging men. They state in the article it was based on a study published in the AMJA, but I could never find the article on the AMJA website. That bothered me a little. But I guess it's just me not doing it right.
