For most of us, it would be a full-time job - at least for a while - to undergo all the examinations and testing Kurzweil puts himself through. As well, authorial protestations aside, it would be expensive to buy all the supplements that thorough testing would indicate for any one of us. And, in addition to his own initiative, Kurzweil seems to be a sort of "special project" of his co-author, clearly an unusually curious and devoted doctor.
For those unfamiliar with Ray Kurzweil's work, I'll also mention that he happens to be a kind of super-genius. All the good health in the world might not enable most of us to maintain his kind of schedule and multiple careers and still tend to the painstakingly individualized health care we would need to get us safely to Bridge Two.
Still, we read travel books and watch TV shows about places we may never visit. We read fictions about adventures we'll never have and futures we won't live to see. There's nothing wrong, and much good, with reading about people who test the frontiers of health care. Some readers will be able to put into practice some, or even many, of this book's recommendations. Others will not. But any curious human will be likely to find the book something of a revelation.

I have a radio show called How You Can Be Your Own Doctor. I would love to have a copy of your book to review and tell my listeners. Can you donate a copy to me. Thanks Dr. Rick Kuykendall
