THE IMMORTALITY CODE Dermot O'Connor
Review
In The Immortality Code, Dermot O'Connor proves that ageing does not need to mean a decline in physical and mental health. It is perfectly possible to extend and improve good health as you grow older. Drawing on ancient, time-tested approaches from the East, together with cutting-edge, evidence-based methods from Western medical science, O'Connor provides a structured programme that will enable you to promote health and vigour, improve mental clarity and enhance youthful appearance. His code reveals how to strengthen hearts, reduce the risk of cancer, revitalise your brain, improve physical appearance, prevent and overcome a variety of degenerative diseases and, therefore, to avoid many of the major causes of aging and premature death. This comprehensive plan integrates approaches to stress reduction, enhancing emotional health and life contentment, achieving optimum nutrition, rebalancing hormone levels, fortifying immunity and creating good physical fitness. This life-changing guide offers everything you need to stay young and in peak condition for decades to come.

Can we increase lifespan?
Taken as a whole, the Immortality Code approach creates a direct involvement in and responsibility for the life of our body. By taking good care of ourselves every day, we can retain the harmony of mind and body. By learning about longevity and the prevention or slowing down of ageing, we listen to ourselves more. The illnesses and diseases that become more prevalent with age should not be thought of as an inevitable part of the human condition, but rather as accidents that are possible to avoid or prevent - just as, when driving a car along the motorway, we can navigate carefully to avoid the hazards that come our way, and so continue peacefully on our journey.
As someone who has helped thousands of people combat illness, I am committed to this battle against the diseases of ageing. How can we live better and longer and make full use of our genetic code? A clear analysis of ourselves and our bodies will enable us to understand how the ageing process really occurs and how it can be forestalled.
It is usually when things go wrong that we start to notice that we are growing old. It is from this moment, or even better, from before this moment arrives, that it is important to take remedial action, to take charge of and responsibility for ourselves. Maximising our body's ability to renew itself involves a partnership between modern medicine, with all its advances and discoveries, and the wisdom of centuries, together with your own willingness to know yourself and to work on avoiding the dangers of old age. Nothing can be established if your doctor doesn't take your biological strengths and weaknesses into consideration, but first of all you need to know yourself. The code to healthy long living requires a good understanding of yourself so that you can identify your health risk factors, understand the mechanisms of your body and take a complete look at your lifestyle. The Immortality Code is a radical plan for life extension, an evolving plan which involves the evaluation of various health-risk factors.
Through the ages, for most people the secrets of ageing well or badly have seemed to lie in unknown forces such as DNA, God and fate. Whatever one's faith, for centuries there seemed to be no concrete reason why one person would outlive another. Why one person would suffer the ravages of time more than another. Why illness and early death would come to one person's door and not another's. For many years people have tended to believe that they could not effectively influence how long they would live or the quality of life they would have as they aged.
Recent scientific discoveries have, however, revealed some startling new insights into our biological make-up. We now understand that we humans can take strong action to slow down the ageing process and gain significant influence over our health as we age. Scientific discoveries will soon develop further, into new technologies that will increase the distance between an individual's actual calendar age and their biological age, or the condition and health of their body.
Of course living longer in itself makes no real sense unless you are healthy enough to enjoy those extra years and decades. And this is exactly the aim of the Immortality Code - to help you to live longer and prolong youthfulness and vitality into your later years. The tools necessary to achieve this lie for the most part within you.
The secret of the Immortality Code anti-ageing programme lies in the details - details tailored to your body and your needs. It is through understanding and applying the principles of the Immortality Code Programme that you will be able to access and follow a complete, thorough and successful personal anti-ageing programme.
I have examined the growing field of anti-ageing medicine. I have cut through the conflicting information to reveal what you can do right now and what treatments may be available in the future to help you on your way.
We have established that positive lifestyle choices result in longer living. When we look at the longest-lived people in the world we notice that while the ageing process continues, the incidence of age-related diseases - cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's - drops. It is almost as if there is a switch in the body that reacts to this natural ageing situation. As if, internally, there is a realisation that if you can get this far along healthily, you should continue along the path of good health.
My aim is to help you achieve what thousands of my clients have experienced by reaching their optimum health goals. I want to get you to the point where you are healthy and ready to live longer, free of disease and of sound mind. So let's being our journey...
