Dr. Terry Grossman discussed his book Fantastic Voyage on February 19th THE BEST OF TIMES RADIO HOUR
February 19th, 2005

Host Gary Calligas of THE BEST OF TIMES RADIO HOUR on February 19th at 9am on NewsRadio 710 KEEL in Shreveport, Louisiana welcomed noted physician and author, Dr. Terry Grossman, of the Frontier Medical Institute in Denver, Colorado to provide excerpts and information from his recently published book "Fantastic Voyage". During the on hour show, listeners learn current ways to reduce the aging process as well as live healthier and longer lifes. Dr. Grossman answer many questions from the listeners who called into the show. More information, visit Dr. Grossman's website at www.fantastic-voyage.net

The following is information about his best selling book:

Isaac Asimov’s 1966 science fiction classic, Fantastic Voyage, fascinated readers with its tale of miniaturized scientists traveling around inside the human body in a blood-cell-sized submarine, the Proteus. Back then, Asimov’s story was fiction, but his “fantastic” idea was indeed prophetic. Today, almost-daily breakthroughs in medical technology have given us the ability to probe the mysteries of the human body literally from the inside out.
In FANTASTIC VOYAGE: Live Long Enough to Live Forever (Rodale; November 3, 2004; $24.95) Ray Kurzweil and Terry Grossman M.D., an expert on cutting-edge life-extension therapies, present the ultimate user’s manual to the human machine. Together, Kurzweil and Grossman detail how genomics, biotechnology, and nanotechnology have vastly improved our knowledge of the biological processes of life, and they reveal how startling scientific advancements in these future-looking fields have brought the possibility of immortality within our grasp.
The fact is, it is now possible to prevent nearly 90 percent of the diseases that kill humans, and within the next twenty years scientists will be able to stop and even reverse the aging process. By following the techniques outlined in FANTASTIC VOYAGE, anyone can immediately and dramatically slow the aging process to a crawl.
“Ray Kurzweil has a knack for spotting the next new thing. He has been charging into the future for nearly 40 years,” Wired magazine has written. And the next big thing, particularly among the baby boomer generation (but practically for all those in their thirties and beyond) is maximizing the quality of life while at the same time extending it. Kurzweil and Grossman’s Longevity Program is designed to keep your body and brain in optimal health while warding off chronic diseases before they can develop. Based on decades of intensive research, the program combines the best of conventional and alternative medicine and enables readers to pinpoint where they are in the progression of disease and aging so they can begin to reverse the harmful effects of each. Dr. Herbert L. Jacobs, Chairman, Complementary and Alternative Medicine Task Force of the Colorado Medical Society describes Dr. Grossman as “one of a handful of modern-day physicians who are laying the foundation for a new paradigm in medicine, combining cutting-edge medical knowledge with the best evidence-based complementary therapies.” To that end, the authors offer dozens of easy-to-follow ideas that can reduce the risk of disease in the future while improving well-being in the present. There are many new and surprising insights: for example, taking the supplement phosphatidylcholine can reverse aging of the cell membrane and there are novel, non-invasive tests able to detect cancer and heart disease before they have a chance to strike.
Divided into what the authors identify as three bridges to the future, FANTASTIC VOYAGE takes readers through the stages that can lead to longer, healthier lives. The first bridge, Ray & Terry’s Longevity Program, consists of present-day therapies and guidance that enables people to stay healthy long enough to take advantage of the Biotechnology Revolution—the second bridge—which is when we will be able to reprogram the genetic, proteomic, and metabolic processes of biology to “turn off” the root causes of disease and aging. The third bridge is the Nanotechnology-AI (artificial intelligence) Revolution. The “killer app” of nanotechnology is “nanobots,” blood cell-sized devices that will go inside the human body to destroy pathogens and toxins, and repair DNA errors, leading to the potential for humans to live indefinitely.
FANTASTIC VOYAGE gets specific about a wide range of practical issues such as nutrition, weight loss, and the prevention of chronic diseases including heart disease and cancer. Other topics that Kurzweil and Grossman address and offer specific guidance on include:

• INFLAMMATION: A silent inflammatory response within our bodies can lead to cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s, and several types of cancers. Kurzweil and Grossman discuss how it can now be measured and offer effective ways to decrease its negative effects.

• YOUR BRAIN—THE POWER OF THINKING…AND OF IDEAS: How to keep the brain healthily busy.

• HORMONES OF AGING, HORMONES OF YOUTH: The authors discuss how to maintain the ideal balance of hormones while aging.
