Kaufmann Anti-Aging Institute The Protocol: Why we Age and How to Stop it

easy read and very valuable if you want to fight ageing

I'm very pleased with the Kaufmann Protocol book. It's a solid, scientific overview of what science currently knows about ageing and all the substances found to increase chances of longevity.The first part of the book goes into the various mechanisms which age us at the cellular level. The second part provides a review of what we know (linking to underlying research) about substances helping manage that process. This is currently the most comprehensive work I am aware of on this subject, and it's refreshingly free from pseudo-science and sales pitches like some others.If I could leave one suggestion to the author for the second edition, it would be to include a last chapter with a brief discussion on why the numerous other compounds were not included, and why, in her own words, 'they were just not good enough'. It would make it easier to process the research which will come later in the light of her stance at the time.All in all, it's a worthy investment of your time and money, but be prepared to invest quite a bit more time into digesting it than you would into a simple book of the same size. Which, with a little bit of luck, you might get back in return, and then some more ;)

Well written and makes complex biochemistry understandable.

Lots of information presented in an lighthearted way.

Exzellentes Buch über aktuelle Aging-Forschung, das aus der Fülle der neueren Publikationen heraussticht. Sandy Kaufmann verfügt einerseits über hohe wissenschaftliche Kompetenz und Expertise auf diesem Sektor. Andererseits ist ihre Form der Vermittlung locker, mitunter sogar witzig. So etwas gibt's nur im angloamerikanischen Bereich (und auch da nur höchst selten).Bemerkenswert sind außerdem ihre sehr fundierten praktischen Empfehlungen für eine Anti-Aging-Supplementierung.Ihr Ansatz lässt sich im Übrigen sehr gut mit dem RECODE-Konzept von Dale Bredesen verbinden, das sich nicht nur bei der Alzheimer-Therapie, sondern auch für eine Demenz-Prophylaxe bestens bewährt hat. Teilweise stimmen die Empfehlungen bemerkenswerterweise überein.Bin als Mediziner regelrecht begeistert von der jungen Kollegin und ihrer erstaunlichen Karriere als Quereinsteigerin.

Being familiar with all the terms it was a pleasurable read throughout the whole book. I absolutely love all the Autors Sidenotes. They make the book almost a Comedy.The author has successfully dived in all the huge scientific Backgrounds with wonderful reminders now and then so that it is easy to follow the science behind the agents.This is a must read masterpiece.
