On the Internet newsgroup <sci.life-extension> Dr Steve Harris, M.D., of 21 Century Medicine Inc, which is associated with them, was asked "Which single book would you best recommend for a beginner to vitamins to read." This was his reply:

Encyclopaedia of Nutritional Supplements by Michael Murray

It's not a "safe" book which only talks about the nutritional medicine that nutritionists all agree on (in which case it would be pamphlet). It's a big fat book with a zillion references by a big honcho naturopath who really thinks he can influence some diseases by giving big doses of various nutrients. He gives his reasoning and references and lets you decide. Very useful. Give me a big fat well-referenced book full of guesses any day, over a thin and tepid yawner of a thing full of information about how much folate you kill by boiling your carrots too long, and how you might need an extra milligram or two of B6 if you take birth control pills. (Steve Harris, M. D.)


If you like to see how long you can stay relaxed whilst your lover squeezes and crushes your body, and you end up showing bruising, then you can remove it quickly with DMSO.

DMSO : Nature's Healer by Dr. Walker Morton, Paperback, 340 pages
Published by Avery Pub Group ISBN: 0895295482

Will give you the low down on how to do it. DMSO is cheap and easy to use.

Strangle holds and controlled breathing is a popular fetish. Regrettably we must advise that if at all possible you should try and find some other form of fetish and cultivate that instead. Body scissors is not totally safe, but much safer than strangulation. Although you can, in a carefully controlled situation, be strangled, loose consciousness and then revive quite normally, there is always a risk of heart attack or brain damage. I conjecture that the latter could even be cumulative quite unnoticeably.

However if you really can't avoid the pleasure of "just slipping away" with your lover pinning you to the ground and slowly squeezing your neck, (as so often described on <alt.sex.fetish.wrestling>), then there are some products that you can use to reduce the possibility of brain damage.

These are books breathing control fetishes should study, as well as anyone who wants to preserve their brain function for as long as possible. Brain boxers and other rough-sports people will also find it could enable them to enjoy their fetish much longer than otherwise.

Fact:

Secrets of Life Extension by John A. Mann

Another general book on supplementation, written some while ago, that many people still swear by.

The Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan

If you think that there is any truth in the myriad of unprovable (or un-disprovable) beliefs around the world concerning a natural post mortem existence, then read this book. Or if you want some ammunition to deal with people who oppose your plans for life extension, you will find some useful arguments here. Yet regrettably Sagan was annihilated - he did not chose cryopreservation.

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

This Libertarian Bible earns a place here because the established money making cartels present a threat to life extension and cryonics. Apparently, people who make good livings from practising law or medicine or business has such a vested interested in the status quo that they are not happy with the enormous changes an indefinite lifespan would bring upon society. There Libertarian principles are often a part of the ideas of people who strive to make death optional.

Beyond the Body by Susan J. Blackmore

Another one for those who think that out of the body experience prove an afterlife. Dr Blackmore has studied this carefully and in depth. She wanted to be able to prove it, but regretfully she was unable to. Here is an account of her work.

The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins

This science fact classic really needs no introduction, except again it teaches rational thought as opposed to blind faith. As far as I know, though, Professor Dawkins has no interest in cryonics. He is probably too busy being famous.

The Fabric of Reality by David Deutsch

Another classic, and also highly entertaining and readable. Do you know that it is physically impossible simulate certain things in virtual reality? So if you think this world is a computer simulation, then read on. This author too carefully explains away some widely held beliefs about a natural afterlife, but I know of no interest in cryopreservation here either.

Cults of Unreason by Christopher Evans

This doesn't take a swing at established irrational beliefs, buts its careful dissection of the large but unestablished cults is a clear lesson for those who decides against cryonics in order to take comfort in something easier.

Science Fiction:

Host by Peter James

This is a hard hitting novel featuring cryonics in the Stephen King genre. It is an excellent read, and although Mr James personally thinks cryonics is a good idea, his characters who opt for cryopreservation do have rather a hard time. But there is an upbeat ending. Highly recommended as entertainment.

The First Immortal by James Halperin

This very new novel is destined to become a classic. After reading it many people may be encouraged to make cryopreservation arrangements. Click here for its website. Highly recommended. It is best read in conjunction with

The Truth Machine by James Halperin

This novel concerns the creation of a perfect lie detector, and the subsequent collapse of the US legal profession. There is some cryonics, and its characters occupy the same, or at least a very similar world to that in which The First Immortal is written. Highly recommended.

Freezing Down Anders Bodelsen

This is a depressing novel which probably expresses many people's views on cryopreservation.

The Divine Invasion Philip K. Dick (who also wrote the novel upon which was based the film Bladerunner)

A middle of the road novel that features cryopreservation, but the concept of people being conscious and dreaming whilst cryopreserved is simply ridiculous.

The Door Into Summer Robert Heinlein

This is a very positive novel about cryonics, but it is reduced by the fact that the author chose to rot rather than be cryopreserved himself. Clearly he did not believe in what he wrote about so passionately.

A World Out of Time Larry Niven

One of my favourites, this somewhat paranoid novel is an excellent read. If you only get one of these, make it this one!

Healer F. Paul Wilson

Another favourite, with similar freedom orientated views to the previous novel.

The Age of the Pussyfoot Frederick Pohl

This vaguely humourous novel about cryonics doesn't make the future that encouraging, but it is good fun. Pohl was offered free suspension (when he dies, of course) by Alcor, but he turned it down.

The City and the Stars Arthur C. Clarke

This was written decades ago, and takes a look at the engineering of a closed society of immortals. The message that immortality is bad is unfortunately what it gives us, but the technical ideas of how such a society may be formed are nonetheless interesting. Alvin, the intrepid hero, returns the immortals to a birth-life-suffering-death cycle in this otherwise entertaining read.
