Books by Richard Lippman
If the predictions of our present-day scientists are right, most major diseases should be curable by the year 2026. Still, these medical advances will increase the average lifespan by a mere twelve years. And we’ll still be stuck with the same ravages of aging: wrinkled skin, slowed reaction times, depression, weight gain, memory loss, declining libido, crippled bodies.
Not a lot to look forward to, is it?
Until now, celebrity doctors such as Mehmet Oz and Andrew Weil have addressed this issue by advocating losing weight, exercising more, and eating a Spartan diet. But new research has shown that an improved lifestyle is only 20% of the answer. This 20% barely scratches the surface: The remaining 80% mother lode of anti-aging medicine has yet to be mined.
This book explores that 80%.
The new remedies presented in this book — most of which are known only to those knowledgeable in anti-aging medicine — can slow, prevent, or even reverse many elements of aging without special diets, cosmetics, surgery, and heavy aerobic exercise. In this book, Dr. Lippman — a Nobel Prize nominee for his research in anti-aging medicine — explores this new frontier to give readers advice that really works. "Stay 40 without diet or exercise" will guide the reader in creating a tailor-made anti-aging program, actually healing or reversing some aspects of aging, such as cataracts and clogged arteries, without surgery. The reader is encouraged to start a personal program to resolve many age-related pre-diseases — such as sub-clinical Type 2 diabetes — that many Americans over thirty encounter, but few doctors will treat until they become full-blown diseases.
While Dr. Lippman acknowledges the importance of exercise and specialized nutrition —the 20% standard staples of any anti-aging therapy— he emphasizes the remaining 80% of his new therapies.
"Why is it that successful people who are very competent in their lives refuse to do anything about their aging? Taking care of your health requires a real commitment that, sadly, many people seem unwilling to make. This means consuming supplements and committing to a healthier lifestyle. Most people refuse these life-giving steps, and consequently by default, stumble into the abyss of contemporary medicine. This abyss means that you passively wait for a heart attack or stroke and then rush off to the hospital after damage has occurred; or you may feel down and take an endless stream of antidepressants; or you may suffer pain and nothing offers complete relief. Unfortunately, this abyss only addresses symptoms and leaves you flat with numerous drugs and their side effects. Life should offer more.
Instead, Dr. Lippman presents remedies that keep you healthy and happy and looking great. Why feel lousy the rest of your life? You don’t need 24-hour sweat palaces and extreme diets. You don’t need to age unnecessarily. Solutions are at hand to make you happy without antidepressants. You can live deep into old age with a functioning body and a nimble brain. Prevention medicine promises new solutions to old problems. It corrects by employing evidenced-based research from the new specialty of anti-aging medicine. Thus begins Dr. Lippman’s personal story.
SIX FRIENDS AND A NEIGHBOR
"During the last seven years, I had six friends and one neighbor. Five are now deceased, and only one friend and one neighbor remain. These later two took a giant step forward by trying a single remedy offered by anti-aging medicine. In contrast, the deceased five remained confident in their belief that contemporary medicine would help them in their time of need.
This book is written for those willing to take a least one giant step forward in applying anti-aging medicine. I hope to save them as I have saved others. Even if you have a premium healthcare plan with a prominent HMO, this may not help you as you grow older and encounter the inevitable ravages of aging. HMOs and contemporary medical practitioners are well equipped in handling medical emergencies, but on the other hand, anti-aging medicine prevents many of them from arising in the first place. Knowing this distinction may make the difference between life and death.”
About Richard Lippman
Dr. Richard Lippman was born December 18, 1944. In Stockholm, Sweden he attended Sveaplan Vuxen Gymnasium where he graduated with honors. Dr. Lippman attended Arizona State University and Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in June, 1968. He was employed as a chemical researcher at the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. In 1980, he received a Doctor of Philosophy degree from California Western University. He attended medical school at Biomedicum, Uppsala, Sweden, where he specialized in measurement and monitoring of free radicals and their effects upon aging at the Departments of Histology and Medical Cell Biology.
Dr. Lippman has authored over 27 peer-reviewed scientific articles in leading gerontological journals such as "Experimental Gerontology," "Mechanisms of Ageing and Development," "The Journal of Gerontology," and the Swedish journal, "Forskning och Framsteg." In 1984, he invented the nicotine patch and successfully marketed it on the Univision from 1986 to 1989. He has lead clinical double-blind, cross-over investigations, especially in regard to transdermal Vitamin B12, weight loss, and melatonin patches. In 1985, he invented the first jet-lag kit employing the then unknown hormone, melatonin. In 1987, he was awarded numerous world patents for the special free-radical inhibitor, NDGA. This invention yielded the only patent ever awarded by the US Patent Office with claims to slow human aging. During the ‘80s, he invented two separate non-invasive methods that probe and monitor cascading free radicals in vivo in both humans and lab animals. In recognition of these last two revolutionary achievements, Dr. Lippman was nominated for the Noble Prize in Medicine in 1996.
