The Owner's Manual Life Extension Express The 7 simple steps to make “100 the new 50” A Guide to Open-Ended Life and Growth By David A. Kekich Maximum Life Foundation a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit foundation www.maxlife.org Imagine being Life Extension Express. What would you do with an extra twenty or thirty youthful energetic years? What would you give for them? Find out why this is your destiny. Someday we will look back on history with no personal understanding or empathy for human aging and how it once ravaged bodies and minds. We will read about it much like we now read of 27 year lifespans, scurvy, the plague, beriberi and primitive surgery and dentistry. That “someday” may well be in your personal future. This book explains how you can live long enough to enjoy a vibrant, prosperous, open-ended (yes, open-ended) lifespan from technologies being developed today. Before you know it, 100 will be the new 50. Meanwhile, follow 7 simple steps to improve your own odds of taking advantage of tomorrow’s life-expanding miracles. Inside, David Kekich reveals… How to enjoy unforgettable sex on your 100th birthday. One simple lifestyle change you can make today that could lower your death rate by 60%. Why we can rejuvenate the elderly in your lifetime. How to avoid being left behind while your friends board the Life Extension Express. Why you are better equipped than your doctor to ensure more vitality. What causes you to age… and what you can do to turn the tide today. Why following your mother’s advice may keep you from losing your memory of her (and everything else) by the time you’re 80. Why the sun can heal you or kill you. Here’s what to change now. What 3¢-a-day habit could be the most important thing you could do for more life and longevity. That the medical specialist you now see is almost certainly not the one you should have caring for you. Why overpopulation will not be a problem… even if people live forever. Why less is more when it comes to exercise. What two immediate low-tech adjustments could add 20 active years to your average lifespan. Which short-term gratifying habits may snatch away your chance for open-ended youth and an ever-expanding mind. How to help ensure your longevity, even if everything else fails. Maximum Life Foundation www.maxlife.org 1 What Others Have to Say about Life Extension Express “As one who has devoted himself to radical life extension, and who has devoured nearly every book on the topic, I place Life Extension Express at the top of my recommended reading list. David Kekich has managed to capture the essence of this complex topic and distill it down to a user friendly book. Whether you are a scientist or a high school student, whether you want to live forever or just an extra twenty healthy years, this book is a must read.” ─Ray Kurzweil Inventor, futurist, author of The Age of Spiritual Machines and The Singularity is Near “You can now live longer than you ever imagined. Allow my great trusted friend David to show you easily implementable ideas, techniques, technologies, lotions, potions and notions to grow younger and feel better than ever.” ─ Mark Victor Hansen Co-author of the bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul series “Kekich is to be congratulated on this terrific book; informal but not superficial, informative but not over-technical, motivational but not preachy. As a specialist in the development of future regenerative medicine to defeat aging altogether, I want to see as many people as possible "make that cut" by making the most of what's already possible. Just how much that is, is still uncertain, and also varies greatly from person to person, but that doesn't invalidate the corpus of advice expertly compiled in this volume.” ─ Aubrey de Grey, Ph.D. Biomedical gerontologist, Chief Science Officer, SENS Foundation “Aging is the one health challenge we ALL have. Eventually we are confronted with the pain, limitations and weaknesses that seem inevitable, at least until now. Dave Kekich has compiled an easy to read manual that can help extend your healthy lifespan. The simple strategies he outlines will help to keep your body in good enough shape to benefit from the emerging technologies that should significantly extend the human lifespan in the next few decades.” “The book provides an excellent summary of contemporary life extension strategies and resources that you can plug into that will continue to keep you informed of the rapidly developing science of life extension. If improving the quality of your health and maintaining it for as long as possible is an interest of yours, then this book is a must read.” ─ Dr. Joseph Mercola Founder of Mercola.com, the world’s most visited natural health site 2 “This incredible book shows you how to live longer and live better, with more energy and health than you might have ever imagined.” ─ Brian Tracy Author—The Way to Wealth “Thousands of published scientific studies reveal how maturing humans can radically reduce disease risk and reverse premature aging. The dilemma is this wealth of knowledge is vast, and even dedicated health enthusiasts often overlook critically important components. Life Extension Express overcomes this information deficit by compiling state-of-the-art technologies from the world’s foremost validated sources.” “It is tragic that most of humanity wallows in a state of medical ignorance that results in the needless suffering of age-related disorders. Those fortunate enough to access Life Extension Express will be pleasantly surprised to learn how relatively simple steps can inure enormous longevity benefits.” ─ William Faloon Co-Founder, Life Extension Foundation “You have written a very compelling and humane approach to a very confusing topic. Most physicians are not trained in anti-aging sciences, so it is up to the individual to decipher the protocols that will extend their lives. Your book provides a very good step- by-step guide to assisting in this journey. Congratulations David, you have made a valuable contribution.” ─ Dr. Gary Null Author of over 27 health and healing books, syndicated radio talk show host "Many biologists concur that real life-extension technology—based on re-engineering the human genome—is predicted as coming sometime in the next couple of decades. But if you were to die too soon and you weren't here to take advantage of this new technology, who's to blame? That's why we all need a "Bridge Plan" to take us from today's science to that magical time in the future when death has been conquered, to ensure that we're still here when that day arrives. David Kekich's book is that Bridge Plan. Read it to make sure that you too are still with us." ─ L. Stephen Coles, M.D., Ph.D. Co-Founder, Los Angeles Gerontology Research Group “David Kekich is one of the most dedicated leaders of the concept of ‘Immortality’, or as Kekich calls it, a ‘Limitless Life Span’. In Life Extension Express he has condensed the essence of scientific and personal data which we can use NOW to go on the express track for life extension. Life Extension Express provides easily available tools to maximize our inherent longevity and regeneration potential. We all possess these potentials to various degrees, all of 3 which can be realized. Too many dismiss existing scientific data on life extension as not attainable in their lifetime, or ever. However we can, as Kekich says, capture and ‘Ride the Wave of Medical Breakthroughs’ toward a ‘Limitless Life Span’. As Jerry Rubin stated in the revolutionary times of the 60's, ‘Do it now!’ If you have any interest to live longer and better, then Life Extension Express is a most necessary tool in your life extension tool kit.” ─ Karlis Ullis, MD Medical Director, Sports Medicine & Anti-Aging Medical Group, Santa Monica, CA Author of: Age Right, Super T, and Hormone Revolution Weight-Loss Plan In Life Extension Express, David Kekich has done what is for the most, ‘the unthinkable’. He has posited the notion of extreme life extension – not in a trite, ‘wouldn’t it be nice way’, but rather as a sincere and compelling agenda. The surprise is that because this book is serious about its ideas and conclusions, one quickly discovers that is becomes as much a book on morality as it is one on the science and disciplines of life extension. Read it and you will reconsider your life in a way you never did before. ─ Patrick Gentempo, Jr., D.C. CEO – Creating Wellness Alliance Life Extension Express is your navigational road map for a healthy and extended life span. Dave Kekich conveys dozens of simple steps you can take now to increase your life span, your health and prepare you for the scientific breakthroughs that lie ahead. A fabulous book that will make a major impact on your life. ─ Joseph Sugarman, Chairman BluBlocker Corporation and author of "Advertising Secrets of the Written Word" "Yes, you can reverse aging! This book not only tells you how - its author is living proof that it works. ─ Ellen Wood Speaker, Anti-Aging Coach, Columnist and Author of The Secret Method for Growing Younger 4 Life Extension Express The 7 simple steps to make “100 the new 50” A Guide to Open-Ended Life and Growth By David A.

By 2050, almost a quarter of the population will be aged over 65 compared to 14% now. Australians are already one of the longest lived populations on the planet, and Aour longevity is steadily improving. Australian life expectancies are rising much faster than commonly understood and this has serious social policy implications – especially in economic, retirement incomes, health and welfare policy. Public commentary on life expectancies is normally driven by the annual release of the Australian Bureau of Statistics reports1. these ‘reported’ life expectancies are a snapshot that capture past longevity improvements but make no allowance for expected future improvements. there are efforts made by various arms of Government and other organisations to predict cohort life expectancies, i.e. life expectancies which include projected future mortality improvements. While more realistic, owing to uncertainty of future outcomes there are plausible scenarios where this approach too will underestimate life expectancy.

But in fact the nonprofit sector has been a catalyst for reform at every stage in metamorphosis of Longevity from a science to technology, and from the technology to the industry. It was disease charities such as Alzheimer’s Research UK and American Aging Association, which led the early social and biomedical crusades against familiar diseases of aging, and in so doing become familiar names themselves. And it was biomedical non-profits such as the Buck Institute for Aging and the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing which created and developed the tech sectors which have since come to comprise the current, multi-faceted industry . But more importantly, it was the nonprofit sector which dominated the industry until perhaps only three years ago, and laid the groundwork for the modern commercial industry.
