Rx for Longevity, Kelly' Secrets, "The Missing Notes." There are many publications out that claim how to live longer, reduce aging, reduce weight, diet, lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol and even some hinting at the Fountain Of Youth or Immortality. Realistically, at this time in science, technology, biochemistry, medical and nutrition research, it may not be possible to live much longer than 100-120 years of age.

This book attempts to show how, by choosing a "Kelly Lifestyle" that fits your daily living, can result in great health improvement and a much longer life. At the same time, this book is also about a research pharmacist who spent years gathering information about longevity and how to achieve it. His research is somehow discovered and a story unfolds which mirrors the potential danger of discovering a youth formula that may actually work.
