Can You Live Forever? by Edward W. Reese Ph.D. Pdf

Dr. Reese has long been fascinated with the human aging process and the possibilities of extending human life, and self-awareness beyond its end of life cycle. Therefore, the focus of his book, is based upon understanding the aging process, and possibilities of extending life, and maintaining self-awareness. Following are some highlights from his book: * Can Human Awareness Exist Forever? * The Continued Existence Of Your Life And Awareness. * What Is The Ultimate Question: "With a Healthy Brain, Why Must My Self-Awareness Cease To Exist Because A Vital Body Organ Fails, Or Because I Have A Terminal Illness?" * The Evolving Process to Extending Life. * To Learn Without Study Or Training. Life Expectancy: * How Science Will Extend Life Expectancy, Now, Near Future, and Distant Future. * How Close Can We Come To Immortality? With a greater understanding of the mechanism that causes, or contributes to the aging process, and the subsequent advancements in medicine, and related research discoveries, the prior boundaries of life expectancy will continue to extend dramatically. Dr. Reese believes it is a reasonable expectation that people could be capable of reaching the age of 125-150 years within 80-90 years. It is also Dr. Reese's opinion, that ultimately our continued existence (e.g., our self-awareness) will not be dependent upon the function of the human physical body, which in many respects presents a hindrance to our continued existence beyond our current estimated life span. There are far too many body components that we must depend upon to function effectively in order to maintain our lives, and our continued self-awareness. The vulnerability of critical organs, too many diseases, and human body failures, most often cause premature termination of life, and subsequently the demise of a healthy brain and awareness. Also discussed: * Free Anti-Aging And Life Extension Available To All. * Over Population - The End Of Humanity? * Religious And Spiritual Implications Involving Longevity. * The Human Aging Process. How Do We Slow And Potentially Stop Aging? * Fighting The Aging Process. * How Can I Live Beyond My Normal Life Span? * Brain Transplant To Another Human Body. * Brain Transplant Into AI Humanoid Robot. * AI And Humanoid Robots. * The Future Controlled By AI Humanoid Robots. * Possible Extinction Of Humanity Due To AI Humanoid Robots. * Brain Awareness Transfer. * Implantable Brain Chips And Other Brain Implants. * Human Consciousness Uploading/Downloading To A Computer Or Artificial Brain. * Many Other Related Topics This book will directly, and unapologetically, address the issues of aging, and discuss methods to reduce, or slow the inevitable process, and avoid the most significant, and even hazardous consequences associated with the aging process. The brain and causes of short and long term memory problems are also discussed.

Four Quadrant Living by Dina Colman Mitchell Pdf

*Winner of 10 book awards** **Revised and updated edition, 2020** Four Quadrant Living provides simple, natural, and fun ways to live a healthy and happy life. It offers a practical, balanced approach that can be used by anyone, regardless of age, previous health, or family history. Many people worry about getting cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, or heart disease because it "runs in the family." This attitude encourages a passive, out-of-my-hands approach. Fortunately, our health is not determined by our genetic makeup alone, but rather by the combination of our genetics and our nutritional, lifestyle, and environmental influences. Four Quadrant Living offers a new prescription for health--one that emphasizes positive steps readers can take to create health in all areas of their lives. As Dina Colman Mitchell writes: "Every day we make choices that impact our health-the foods we eat, the products we use, the exercise we get,the stress we allow, the people we surround ourselves with, and the environment we live in. We may be eating well and exercising, but we cannot truly be healthy if our mind is stressed, our relationships are toxic, and our world is sick." Living healthy doesn't need to be complicated. Four Quadrant Living shows readers how to take responsibility for their own health by providing logically organized and easily implemented ideas and suggestions for nourishing the "four quadrants" of our lives-Mind, Body, Relationships, and Environment. The book includes ways to reduce stress, laugh more, take fewer medications, sleep better, live mindfully, eat well, exercise more, sleep better, engage in healthy relationships, and reduce toxins in your environment. In this revised and updated edition, Dina Colman Mitchell provides updated statistics and information and shares new insights from her own cancer journey. The author illustrates that even with disease, we can still be healthy.
