Subject: Re: DNA-RNA Injections Increase Life Span 144%

   The pilot experiment with DNA-RNA injections has never been replicated. 
The results are so extremely favourable that I doubt they have ever been 
seriously considered, even though they were published in a respected 
scientific journal by a medical doctor. His name was Max Odens and I am 
told he was in his 70s when he did the experiment which so dramatically 
extended the life span of some rats. I suspect he died shortly after 
doing the experiment. Since nobody has ever believed that these results 
could be factual and the author was dead, this could explain why no 
attempt was made to repeat the experiment.

           *OFFER TO CRYONET LIST MEMBERS*

    I have made a large number of copies of this two page report, and 
have lots of envelopes and stamps ready. If you are interested in reading 
this report, but can not find it at your local university, email me your 
address and I will mail it to you. There exists the possibility that the 
answer to the life extensionists dream has been quietly moldering away in 
an obscure journal for over 30 years. Hopefully we will not have to wait 
another 30 years before it is replicated under carefully controlled 
conditions.
    Please note that the report contains the author's London, England 
address. Don't bother sending any letters of inquiry there. I am told that 
he no longer resides there and indeed has no London address.

    Sincerely Doug Skrecky
