Subject: Database search on Odens paper

   I have completed a search of the Science Citations Database. The last 
reference to Odens' experiment with DNA-RNA-Chloroform injections was by 
Saul Kent in the October 1977 issue of Geriatrics. There have been no 
subsequent citations. This means that there has been no published 
replication of Odens' experiment. A citation in the October 1974 issue of 
Nutrition Reviews may have prevented further research on this. Quote: 
"The publication in recognized professional journals of startling claims 
based upon uncritically designed and described experimental results 
constitutes a disservice to science and the public by both the authors 
and the editors." I have to agree with this.
   I am still searching for more information on the three components 
included in the injections, but have come to no firm conclusion as to 
which is most likely to be the active ingrediant.
