Freud believed that most people have a death wish and that attitude seems to be alive and well. Despite this widespread prevalence of depression, we can treat 85% successfully without drugs! And those with the essential healthy attitude and lifestyle will live an average of 100 years. If you add safe techniques to maintain optimal levels of DHEA and calcitonin while minimizing free radicals, you have the potential of living an average of 140 years!
LIFE BEYOND 100— SECRETS OF THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH is by far my best and most important book. My colleague, Caroline Myss agrees and says in the Foreword:
"LIFE BEYOND 100: The Secret of the Fountain of Youth, builds upon that truth as a given, and introduces the reader to a domain of power – and self-empowerment – that exists as untapped potential that can, once released, slow down the aging process, not as a result of a vitamin or an exercise, but as a result of understanding the functioning mechanism between the physical body and the electromagnetic system, which is comprised of emotions, the psyche and the human spirit. "
Dr. Shealy’s workshop intensive at the Boulder Just For The Health Of It! Prophets Conference will cover the essentials for health and longevity:
- Check Your:
Homocysteine. If it is above 7.5, add folic acid, 100 mg and sublingual B 12, 1000 units daily, and B 6, 25 mg
Cholesterol. If it is above 190, add policosanol 10 to 20 mg.and beta sitosterol 1200 mg daily. Recheck in one month and if not around 190 or less, add lecithin granules, two heaping tablespoons, twice daily
Free radicals. This is a simple and inexpensive urine test. I recommend you order the Oxidata) and check about once a month. If you are above one +, see recommendations below
High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein. If above 1, you want to bring it down. Although 1 to 3 is considered “average” you want to be below average! HS-CRP and Free radicals are the most important monitors of inflammation and excessive oxidation (aging). The following are the best tools to assist you in this search. Everyone is individual and you may need to explore one or all of these supplements:
Ashwagandha----1.5 grams daily
Milk Thistle------1.0 gram daily
L-arginine---------3 grams daily
L-taurine----------3 grams at bedtime
Curcumin---------1.5 grams daily
Boswellin---------1.5 grams daily
An ABC news report June 2, 2005, is pushing an herbal mixture, Protandim, which essentially contains at least 4 of the above. My own experiments over the past year suggest that exploration of these supplements is best individualized. And probably less expensive.

NORMAN SHEALY, M.D., PH.D.
Norm Shealy, a neurosurgeon at Duke and the founder of both the American Holistic Medical Association and the Pain Rehabilitation Center at the Shealy Institute in Missouri; and his partner Caroline Myss, Ph.D., also an Intuitive Medical Diagnostic and author of numerous books, is one of the world's leading experts in pain management. He was among the first physicians ever to specialize in the resolution of chronic pain. A pioneer in developing safe and effective treatments such as Biogenics, he founded, in 1971, the first comprehensive pain and stress management facility in the country, The Shealy Institute, respected world-wide for its innovative and successful rehabilitation approaches. Over the years, Dr. Shealy's intensive pain and stress management research has resulted in numerous pioneering treatments. His published works total over 275. His seminars and workshops are given worldwide, and attended by physicians and lay persons alike. He has acted as consultant to leaders in every specialty, including the personal physicians of President's Kennedy and Eisenhower.
Shortly after graduating from Duke Medical School, and beginning his career as an accomplished neurosurgeon, Dr. Shealy noted: "The most common symptom in the world is pain, and yet nobody specializes in it." At this early phase of his medical life, he decided to look into pain, what causes it, what we can do about it, and how it affects us as human beings.
He had not been investigating long before he recognized that the majority of long term fixes for chronic pain did not come from the established medical community, but from the "folk domain." Shealy began a series of research and experimental processes which included any ideas he could come across that claimed to be able to treat chronic pain in the long term without the use of narcotic medications.
Consulting and researching with acupuncturists, mystics, faith healers, color therapists, folk healers, and other non-traditional therapists, and blending this new knowledge with his medical background, Dr. Shealy came to the conclusion that, while none of these methods was THE cure for chronic pain, almost all of them had developed a documented history of being able to successfully eliminate chronic pain in a good number of their attempts. It is at this juncture that he decided that "It is the interaction of the four main fields of stress; the chemical, physical, electromagnetic, and emotional; that is the cause of all illness..not some, all."
